bullying friendship lgbt murder psychic romance

Ryan had lost everything. His mother recently died of cancer, and his father had completely shut down after her death. His father even dragged him away from the city he'd grown up in, forcing him to leave all of his friends to move to a tiny, backwater town called Turnbridge, hundreds of miles from anything remotely interesting. Even the school's social scene seemed to revolve around activities and sermons at the local church. 

Then he met Chance. Chance was quiet and friendly, and was an extreme social outcast due to his sexual orientation. He was also obsessed with an unsolved murder that had taken place two years previously. Everyone was convinced it was a suicide. Everyone except Chance, who believed the victim had been targeted due to his homosexuality. 

Ryan didn't believe him until the accidents started, all seeming to focus around Chance. With the local culture so hostile toward the gay population, there were too many suspects and not nearly enough time as they tried to stop a killer who hunted in the name of God.

It wasn't until the summer between 8th and 9th grade that he finally realized he was attracted to the same sex. Now, months into the 9th grade, he's starting to feel strangled by this secret that he has to keep. But with a very religious family, and friends he doesn't know if he can trust, he has nobody to confide in. Between this and being skinnier than all the other guys his age, he's starting to feel outside of it all, and his nerves are starting to get the best of his highschool self. And on top of everything else, he's started feeling differently about a close friend. Seeing one of his best friends, Logan Anderson, in a different capacity.

Something I had been blind to suddenly became so clear. I had mentioned visiting that man, but i never mentioned that he was killed. Nor did I mention receiving a letter. "How did you know he died?" I asked. "You told me, silly." "No I didn't. And I never said anything about a letter." I said firmly. Emma fell asleep on the plane and woke up in a mythical kingdom. The place was spoken about in legends and myths only, but it doesn't exist on any map. While trying to open the passage between the realms, she meets a man who might be able to change her mind about leaving. However, she keeps getting threats from an unknown stalker who kills her loved ones one by one. But would returning to her home end her problems, or would the stalker still torment her?
