  1. Single-mindedness coupled with a compulsive personality is definitely not a good match
  2. Chapter 4. Going to the cliffs At last, I get to the Art Design school. I saw Leo driving by earlier, but he was with his girlfriend so he didn't stop and only waved at me as they passed. I haven't really hung out with any of the guys since I heard about Nathan, but thankfully they haven't called me out on it yet. It's funny, though. At the beginning of the year I used to hang out with them all the time and I thought it was the coolest thing ever to be part of their group. Now I'm not so sur
  3. Yup. One time at high school was enough for me, too
  4. I know - though I like to think that kids are slowly becoming more tolerant these days, if only a little...
  5. tbh, I don't know what I'd do if I were in Josh's shoes...
  6. thanks! Josh has a few tough choices ahead of him, that's for sure
  7. Chapter 3. Trying out for the team I've walked right up to the high school grounds somehow, and it's not even on my way to the cliffs. The low red-brick building and the big fields behind it look strange now that they are mostly deserted because of the summer break. The grass is a little bit overgrown and everything is too clean, too orderly without students. I walk past the grounds slowly, thinking that at least I won't have to sit through a solemn but superficial service for Nathan in t
  8. sometimes the best friends you make are those most different from yourself
  9. thanks!
  10. Thank you! You raise an excellent point. Some stories are, well, just sad.
  11. That seems to be the most frequently asked question, and I hope my story will show just what went wrong.
  12. I hope the following chapters don't disappoint!
  13. Thank you very much. I definitely channeled my inner teenager for this one.
  14. Chapter 2. Passing out in an alley I walk past the bus station, hands in my pockets, walking slowly on purpose. I wonder if the fact that I'm not crying makes me a horrible person in some way. It's like this is one of those moments when you're supposed to cry, except I don't feel like doing it. All I have is a kind of numb emptiness that won't go away, and of course the guilt. I don't know. I feel like I could sort it all out if I had enough time, if I didn't have to go back to my parents
  15. Indeed. It's a very important bit. As always, thank you for reviewing!
  16. Indeed. Thanks for the tips as well - I added a link to the Trevor Project in the story description.
  17. Yeah, we'll learn soon enough... man, I'm starting to second-guess myself for posting this story. I don't want to depress people or anything

    Most stories I write end in at least a happy-for-now tone, but yeah, this one will be sad.

    Thanks, Valkyrie. I thought long and hard about whether to publish this story since I wrote it when I wasn't in such a good place myself, but hey, I figured I might give it a try.

    Filming a cat

    Chapter 1. Filming a cat. I walk down Cypress Avenue since it's the quickest way to the cliffs. It's a Saturday, so there are lots of people walking about, talking and just enjoying the day. I feel separated from them, though, like they’re all in color and I’m in greyscale. For the first time since I came to this town I feel like a complete outsider again. As if I didn’t belong here, not really, even though all my friends are here, and my girlfriend, and I’ve even begun to call this town hom

    Prologue

    Josh.mp4 by Albert Nothlit Prologue I walk into the hospital wondering if I should have come at all. I’m not family and only one person knows I’m visiting. I think about turning back, but it’s already too late to leave without looking stupid, so I go quickly down the hall straight to the reception. I keep my head low and hope not to run into anyone I know. If I do, then they will ask why I'm here, and because everybody knows about Nathan already they’ll guess why I came. I just can't

    Josh.mp4

    Hi, my name's Josh. This is the story of how I met Nathan. He was... well. Weird, I suppose. Not much makes sense now, but maybe writing will help. Or not. Anyway, here goes.
