    Chapter One

    I'm kinda testing to see if people like it... I feel shorter is easier, faster to produce... But yes, kinda cruel too! These chapters will be short. One vote for no 😂
  3. Owen has been hiding his whole life. Closeted in a Catholic funeral home family, fake-dating his best friend Margot for three years, headed to a college he doesn't want. Then Ryder messages him on a dating app and everything shifts. Ryder is rough, honest, reckless, and completely unwilling to be someone's secret. As their connection deepens over one Ohio summer, Owen finds himself caught between the safe lie he's been living and the terrifying truth Ryder keeps pushing him toward. Something has to break. And Ryder's determined to take him on the ride of his life before it does.
  4. The pot roast smelled like every Sunday of my life. Which is maybe a weird thing to notice when you’re sitting at a table with your entire family, everyone talking over each other, but that’s where my head went. The same roast. The same potatoes. The same heavy ceramic dish my mom pulled out every week like it was tradition and not just the only thing she knew how to cook well. I’d been eating this meal since I had baby teeth and I’d probably be eating it when I was forty, sitting in this e

    Seriously thank you. The idea clicked as soon as you mentioned it. And this was born. A weird little recommendation for sure. 😂 Meant to be. I really enjoyed this ending too. It felt right.

    Honestly, this fate is worse for George than death! Many slow years of rapings for him now 😂 Glad the murder was stopped. My crazy ass was going to do it originally!!! That's why I stopped the first time. I was struggling. It all came together when I realized... I didn't HAVE to kill George. Now the boys' lives can go on.
  10. Three weeks later, with school well underway, Noah woke up warm for the first time he could remember. Not warm like a blanket or a heater. Warm like a body against his. Colt’s arm was heavy across his chest, Colt’s breathing slow and steady behind him, Colt’s heartbeat thumping faintly against his back. The green Christmas lights hummed overhead, casting the room in that soft glow that had become the color of safety. Noah lay still and let himself have the moment. He used to wake
  11. The sheriff arrived forty minutes later. Colt heard the crunch of tires on gravel from inside the cabin and his whole body went rigid. Amy squeezed his arm. Brett came out of the hallway where he'd been sitting alone and walked to the front door without a word. The party outside had thinned. Tyler and Christina were still in the water but a few of the other kids had noticed the mood shift and drifted away. Rylee was on the deck, sunburned and confused, watching the unmarked car pull up

    Chapter 10

    The book cover??
  15. George's car was gone. Colt saw the empty driveway as he and Rylee walked out to meet Brett's van at nine in the morning. The carport where the sedan had been parked last night was bare. George had already left for Briar Lake. The clock was ticking. Colt went cold from head to toe despite the August heat. His feet kept moving, one in front of the other, down the driveway, across the street, but his brain had stalled on a single image: the thin nick in the brake line, weeping fluid
  16. Friday night. Colt couldn’t sleep. He lay on his bed in the green glow, fully dressed, shoes on, the wire cutters in his back pocket. His phone said 11:47. Thirteen minutes until midnight. Thirteen minutes until he became a different person. He’d spent the day in a fog. Michelle had noticed. Rylee had noticed. Nobody had said anything, which was almost worse than if they had. He’d eaten dinner without tasting it. He’d showered without feeling the water. He’d gone downstairs and locked

    Chapter 8

    Everyone has their limits
  18. Thursday. Two days before the cabin. One day before the brakes. The past six days had been calm, almost deceptively so. Noah had been spending as little time as possible at home, showing up early at Colt's and staying until dinner. He said George had been very unhappy about that. The interrogations were worse than ever when Noah got home — where did you go, who did you talk to, what did you do, what did you say. But his mother was usually there when that happened, so nothing untoward had go

    oh you'd better quit reading then! 😂 Shaun's a fucking mess
  20. Friday afternoon, Colt’s basement was full of people. It had taken some doing. Rylee had texted everyone the night before, and the responses had been mixed. Tyler was in immediately. Christina said she’d come if Tyler came. Amy said she’d come and she’d work on Brett. That last part had taken most of the morning, apparently, because Amy didn’t confirm until almost noon. “He’s coming,” she’d texted Rylee. “But he’s bringing the weed, so be nice to him.” Colt took that as a good sig
  21. Wednesday was theirs. Nobody bothered them. No knocks on the door, no Rylee, no drama. Michelle left for work early and the house was quiet and warm and belonged entirely to them. They spent the day on the couch and the bed, drifting back and forth between reading and watching TV. Noah was deep into a new series from Vincent’s box and Colt had picked up the next Artemis Fowl. They read side by side with their legs tangled together, swapping positions every hour or so as someone’s arm f

    Chapter 20

    You know what, I remember this one time, a friend of mine told me a big secret and not to tell anyone and i was really scared and I really thought I was doing the right thing by not telling. I don't think I was 15 though....
