With drafting season approaching, and Elliot's fragile mental health deteriorating, he's forced to face a difficult question: Is first love supposed to hurt so much? *** PLEASE DO NOT ADD THIS STORY TO GOODREADS.

    | JAX TELLER x FEM!OC | One night, Jax' life took a drastic turn when he came home to find an empty house. His boys were gone, so was Tara. From that night on, he was consumed by a thirst for revenge against his ex-wife he'd divorced just a month before all this had happened. The search for his sons became his main focus; nothing else mattered anymore. Starting in Oregon, he crisscrossed states from Washington to Illinois and back again to smaller parts of Californiaᅳ but nothing. Over the three years, Jax changed. Besides shutting everyone out, he'd also lost himself in the never-ending search. What he hadn't believed was still possible was ever finding something that could make him feel anything other than anger, dread and hopelessness again. Then Nova name came along, cursing him out while glaring at him with those big green eyes at a red light in a small town in California. She brought back his cocky nature, the panty-dropping smile he'd lost years ago. And she gave him back a spark of hope after he opened up to her. It was a phone call that changed everything a few months later; and Jax was forced to become his old self again, letting the monster he once was out of its cage. Now all he needed was Nova by his sideᅳ and he was praying she could accept the man he'd kept hidden from her. ࣼ ᅳ 𝘐 𝘋𝘖𝘕'𝘛 𝘖𝘞𝘕 𝘈𝘕𝘠𝘛𝘏𝘐𝘕𝘎 𝘚𝘖𝘈, 𝘕𝘌𝘐𝘛𝘏𝘌𝘙 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘚𝘛𝘖𝘙𝘠𝘓𝘐𝘕𝘌 𝘕𝘖𝘙 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘊𝘏𝘈𝘙𝘈𝘊𝘛𝘌𝘙𝘚.

    Kit Connor was sixteen when Heartstopper changed his life. One minute, he was a teenager trying to balance school, auditions, and friends. The next, he was stepping onto sets, answering endless interview questions, meeting fans, and discovering what it meant to have millions of people watching him. Now seventeen, Kit has become very good at pretending everything is okay. He smiles for the cameras. He laughs during interviews. He waves to fans. And whenever someone asks how he's doing, he gives the same answer. "I'm fine." But behind the smile, Kit is struggling. The constant filming, press events, photographers, social media, and expectations are beginning to wear him down. Everyone seems to want something from him, and Kit is terrified of disappointing anyone. Even the people closest to him don't realise how much he's hiding. Until Joe does. Joe has always been one of the people Kit feels safest around, but when he notices Kit becoming quieter, more distant, and increasingly overwhelmed, he refuses to ignore it. Then one difficult weekend changes everything. An unexpected incident puts Kit under even more attention, and suddenly the cameras seem to be everywhere. Headlines appear. Fans start speculating. Kit feels like he has lost control of his own life. And for the first time, the smile he's been hiding behind isn't enough. With Joe and the rest of the Heartstopper cast standing beside him, Kit has to learn that asking for help doesn't make him weak-and that he doesn't have to pretend to be okay just because everyone is watching. Because behind the character, behind the interviews, and behind the smile... there is still just Kit.
