    Teddy's Drug

    Honestly, I fully agree with you. One of my friends is considering taking back his ex who cheated on him and I'm so far against it it isn't even funny. I made sure to tell him I'll support him and be nice to her if he does take her back, but I'm very much against the whole situation. That being said if I was in Liz's spot I would hate Ryder with everything I had. As we saw last story they were growing extremely close, then suddenly he threw her to the curb along with Teddy without even saying goodbye. I get the other side of it, and I get Blake and Momma Haner just wanting Teddy to be happy, but I'd sure as hell make Ryder earn it.
  2. ---Ryder--- As I felt Teddy wrap around me I couldn’t help but let out a sigh. My heart may not be ready for sex, but at least I can still enjoy the little things. At least I can fall asleep next to him. At least I have him next to me. I can’t help but wonder how fast anyone else would’ve given up on me. Substance problems, health issues and severe depression and anxiety, yet his will hasn’t once wavered. When you were a teenager you told me your name means God’s gift. Well now I know witho

    Redemption

    Amazingly patients with stress cardiomyopathy can get better in as little as two weeks . Unlike a normal heart attack which kills heart cells stress cardiomyopathy uses adrenaline to basically mock a heart attack (obviously that's kind of simplifying it.). However since it can be brought on or made worse by major anxiety and or depression it may be hard for Ryder to fully recover. And of course as with any trauma of the heart there's a risk that permanent damage was done.
  4. To be fair I ate up Goodsebumps as a kid! Especially when they had make your own adventure! Still put on the old tv show when Halloween rolls around.
  5. I don't want to say too too much because I don't want to ruin any surprises but it'll definitely be founded in realism, and you're onto something when you said "Religion is paranormal"

    Watching, been a long time since I've laced up the old skates! Really love the sport though.

    Was thinking the same thing this morning, but spent all after noon out with friends before a hockey game. I'll definitely find a to make it up to you guys though

    They make those?! Oh god! That's insane.

    I think he's just being over dramatic. Even when he's healthy he has a tendency to be a little extreme with what he says. Rock stars, what can ya do.

    Redemption

    Haha thank you! I won't say they'll happen often but unlike my other stories they'll definitely at least start happening. Especially in my next story, but that's all I'll say for now.

    Redemption

    I think I'd die if this happened. Poor Ryder, but hey theres no better incentive to get yourself healthy than sex. At least in my opinion.
  12. ---Ryder--- As I laid in bed and stared at the ceiling all I could do was be battered by thought after thought. Depression gets so romanticized in today’s world, but it’s not pretty or fun. It fucking sucks. I know Teddy loves me. I know he wants me here. I even know his mother is okay with it. Yet my mind keeps telling me otherwise. It tells me I’m a drain on him. It tells me I ruined his life and now I’m back for more. It tells me he’s never fully forgiven me, and that he never truly will.
  13. Fully agree. Talking to someone never really seems like much, but it could mean the world to them. Small acts go far, even if we don't notice it.
  14. Haha, this was almost the chapter title!
  15. ---Teddy--- As my alarm began to sound I felt Ryder reach across me and try to silence my phone. I wish I could leave him sleeping, I wish he could rest until he felt better, but that’s not the way the world works. That not the way the human body works. As he finally connected with one of the buttons he let his arm drop and snuggled his head further in my chest. I wonder if he realizes he does that. I wonder if he knows how close he tries to get to me. I guess the once big bad drug fueled r
  16. No problem. Thank you and the others for the replies! It's a question I've been wondering for a few months now and figured it would not only benefit me but perhaps other authors as well!
  17. Makes a lot of sense. I hate reading something and walking away thinking "Hmm, that was convenient." Good to know creating and sticking to rules help. Unfortunately you already know how stained with reality my writing is
  18. Where does the line fall? Are you willing to go all in and fall into the world a writer creates? Or would you much rather it be based in reality? If it is based in reality can you suspend your disbelief enough to enjoy the story?

    I don't even know how he does it. With every book I read he left me more and more amazed. His writing is so incredible that he breaks your heart by killing one of your favorite characters yet still pulls you in. I swear I'd frame those books on my wall if I could.

    Love this analysis. Multi-dimensional characters are something I really hope to keep developing and carrying into other stories. To quote my personal favorite writer George R.R. Martin: "No one is a villain in their own story. We're all the heroes of our own stories."

    I think for Oliver it's just a very surreal thing. Add on that they've lied to him about it for most of his life. I think he just doesn't know what to believe, especially that the two were talking about marriage at the ages of 18 and 17. The latter part of your comment will be answered with time

    I had an old bad habit of only using said when I was first learning to write and now I guess I've swung the complete other way! I'll be more conscious about it when writing as I'm sure it'll help all of us. Thank you for pointing it out, I'm always looking for feedback like this.

    "And for the record I’m not calling you a bad father, because you’re not. I saw what you were like with Teddy, and what you were like with me.” I think this line from Ryder can say a lot about what Harry must be feeling. Ryder refers to him almost as a father. So on the flip side to have someone you may look at as a son run away and become a drug addict must be horrible, especially when it came at the cost of Teddy. Also that being said I'm not trying to defend him. He's acting like a complete asshat.
  24. ---Ryder--- As I laid in Teddy’s bed I couldn’t help but be swarmed by a million and one thoughts. I’ve gotten my second chance at life, no, more like my third or fourth, all given to me by the same man. I know Oliver doesn’t see it. I know he’s yet to understand why. But as he grows I pray he sees what an amazing man his older brother is. So forgiving. So loving. So hopeful. Suddenly I heard the loud slam of a bedroom door followed by muffled arguing downstairs. Was that Oli’s door? Is
  25. Powerful words, but they show why music means so much to Oliver and why he idolizes Ryder so much. He sees someone who went through a similar struggle. No two people's stories are the same, but to be able to relate on a level like he and Ryder can is a potentially powerful thing.
