Tyler wakes up in a place that feels wrong.
The sky never changes from gray. The trees repeat like a broken pattern, and the shadows whisper at night.
When he meets a girl named Lulu, he finally believes he isn't alone-but something else is out there, something starving, and it's getting closer every night.
To survive, Tyler will have to fight. But when he finally escapes, he realizes the nightmare hasn't ended. Because some places don't stay where they belong...

The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER! The best part about this book is that it has some funny bits and introduces you to characters I use for a while. But, if you don't like the writing, please consider one of my newer works 😊 Started: May 10, 2016 Completed: September 2016Complete
RESPONSABILITY RAIN
"Something's wrong." he declared and pulled away. Lucy looked down and sat straight in her chair. She opened her mouth but didn't say anything. She knew she couldn't spill. But how could she not tell him when he made talking to him so easy? She frowned and thought about it for a moment. "I get these...dreams." she said after a minute, softly. "They're nightmares, actually." Tyler nodded and encouraged her to continue. "They're terrifying. They keep me up at night and they make me paranoid during the day. They make me feel bad about myself, and..." Lucy paused. "They feel so real." she said, finishing her sentence in a whisper. *** Lucy's keeping a dark secret. It's ruining her life, and she doesn't know what to do. Will Tyler run away if he ever gets to know who she really is? Can anyone ever forgive her for what she's done? How is she supposed to live with herself after what happened? As she tries to figure the mess she's made out, time passes and she's got more and more to lose.Complete
My Quiet Heart Could Breathe:Before the silence
He came to this town with nothing but a name and the echo of people he can't bring back. Grief doesn't knock-it settles in. And when it did, it left him quiet. Numb. Watching the world go on like nothing cracked beneath his skin. Then came Tyler. Loud, chaotic, bright. The kind of person who doesn't ask permission to exist. The kind of person you'd follow without knowing why. He made things feel like maybe they could be okay. But this isn't the kind of story you think it is. It isn't about falling in love. It's about hiding it. About swallowing every word that might give you away. It's about watching someone save your life without knowing they're doing it. About pretending you're not breaking when you are. This is not a love story. It's the story of silence. Of surviving. Of what it costs to bury who you are, even from the person you need most. It's a confession written in the margins of pain. Read closely. Some truths are only heard when everything else goes quiet.Complete
