"This isn't a story. This is a breakdown written in chapters."
Marco Del Rosario is a 17-year-old student, writer, and overthinker-trying to survive academic pressure, unspoken love, and the creeping weight of writer's block.
He's got deadlines, daydreams, and a draft that never gets finished. Oh, and a crush on a girl who already has a boyfriend.
Trapped between reality and the stories he wishes he could write, Marco finds himself spiraling-until he does the unthinkable.
He writes the book.
He publishes it.
And he calls it Published.
This isn't your typical YA drama. There are no action-packed twists, no romance to save the day-just a brutally honest voice and a story about not knowing what story to tell.

One of his hands glided up my thigh, stopping to rest on my hip. His breathing grew heavier, matching mine. "You always have a sweet scent when I'm near you," he murmured against my skin. "Like vanilla and cinnamon." His teeth grazed a sensitive spot on my neck, and I hummed involuntarily. My legs pressed together, trying to stifle the ache building between them. He was making me feel things I hadn't felt before-things I wasn't sure I could control. "I should-" I started, my voice faltering as I tried to regain control. "I should get you something to sober up." I quickly slipped off the table, putting space between us, but he was faster. His hand caught my wrist, and before I knew it, he had me pinned against the wall. "So?" His voice was low, almost a growl. "Must I always stay sober? I don't want anything... just you."Complete
