Worse Than The Rest

Have you ever fallen in love with someone? And I mean really, have you fallen so head over heals for them that you'd do anything- even die for them if it came down to that? Really think about it. If you have, then you're just a little bit like Oliver. Now, have you ever had your heart broken by the person you were in love with? You know the kind of pain that creeps into your chest at 3am, and won't leave. The pain that haunts your dreams like a ghost that won't detach itself from your ribcage, despite the love that created it being long since dead. Have you ever felt so much pain inside you that you wished yourself dead- or perhaps that just everything would stop, because you can't fucking breathe and anything has got to hurt less than this? If you have, you're not alone. Oliver is sixteen, lives with his best friend, Imogen, and has fallen in love with every boy he's ever dated. Despite being in love with all of them, each break-up was just a wound which with time, he allowed to heal. He'd never told any of them that he was in love. None- except one. Oliver had his heart broken more times than he cared to mention, and by sixteen, he became the heartbreaker as a desperate attempt to keep himself safe. His next unsuspecting victim: Mikey.
