At the end of my shift, a young man boards the bus, the weight of the world on his shoulders. Something drew me towards him more than any other rider I've had. After breaking a few of my rules and running the bus hours after my shift ended, Leo proved to be my most challenging rider to date. Yet, it was because of all of this that I almost stopped driving completely. There's a reason why I stick to these rules. This is all my fault.

The Two Dogs
Leo, a young college student, in love with a classmate who doesn't know he exists. In an effort to capture her attention he begins to discover how little free will he has. That love and hate are not opposites but more like synonyms and the idea that they are opposite is just another illusion. Dark and depraved thoughts creep in out of his mind as the girl takes him on a rollercoaster ride. Leo wars with the emotions that are his slave master, but it leads him to wonder that maybe everyone's path is already cut. Some are meant to live the modern day, happy American life, others... are meant to destroy it. The only way to peace is to accept the path. The morality of it doesn't matter. It's all chaos and chaos doesn't recognize evil or good it only uses them as a means to keep everyone guessing.Complete
his hold over me
bxb "do you want me to stop?" Leo says, making my entire body shake. I try and make some words come out of my mouth but nothing's happening. My breathing just gets faster. "Use your words Jonathan." he adds while simultaneously closing the door behind us. Even though some people are firm believers that the opposites don't attract, the two of them seem to be the sole proof of that being complete bullshit. Leo Duncan is -on the first look- one of those typically self obsessed, rich high school jock, bullies you if you're neither of the above type of guy. Or that's at least how jonathan would describe him. But he will soon realise that the frase 'don't judge a book by its cover' exists for a reason. Jonathan Casey aka complete and total book worm despises leo and the rest of his bad boy wanna be group of friends who seem to have some sort of a hold on this fresh hell of a high school. Unfortunately leos best friend is jonathans older brother therefore they are bound to cross paths. Does the constant presence and heat radiating between the two finally show that there might be something more than just hate they share? And does Jonathan realize that there might be more to Leo than what he led on? -- TW: mention of abuse, self harm, depression. mention of smut: tw in chapters where it appears.Complete
Twisted
"I think I'm gay." I say, leaving out the part about my... exposing dream about him last night. I watched his expression, waiting for some sign that he was angry. I waited for him to call me a faggot, to curse me off and tell me he never wanted to see me again. Instead, I was greeted with his perfect toothy smile. "That's great man, I'm of proud you." He says, patting my arm as he stuffed another cracker in his mouth. "It takes some real balls to come out to someone." He says, his beautiful green eyes blazing into mine. I felt myself become flustered at his gaze. "Uh, Yeah, Thanks." I stumbled out, "You're not mad?" I ask. His expression turns to hurt as he crinkles his eyebrows. "Why the hell would I be mad?" He asks, hesitating on the crackers and pushing them away. "I just thought-it's just- well... you just always seem so pissed when someone mentions the word gay." I spit out words, scared for his reaction. He sighs, "That doesn't fucking mean I hate gays. Normally when I do that it's because someone's using the word 'gay' to hate on them, it just pisses me off, you know?" He asks, bringing the crackers back into his lap and biting into them. "Plus-" He adds on, "You're my best friend, if anything, you being gay is a blessing. I'll always support you." He says, glancing at me through the side of his eyes. I look away, towards the door to hide the crimson blush that I feel spread over my face. "Thanks." I all but squeak out. And that's the day I realized, I have a faint crush on my best friend. <><><><><< THIS BOOK IS BEING *MAJORLY* EDITED. THERES LOTS OF SPELLING MISTAKES AND NAME MIX UPS, SOME CHAPTERS WILL BE REWRITTEN Also, Please don't be mean to the characters, they aren't even close to perfect, but they don't deserve hate.Complete
