❝ I don't even know why I even think of him so much, but I do, and it hurts.❞


-

A boy by the name of Lucas Middleton dies of a terminal illness, and with an assembly in school, his death changes the lives of a peculiar group of people.

A story that is told in three different perspectives:

ISABELLA DEL VECCHIO, the anxiety-ridden, closeted new girl with a hopeless crush on another girl, who has absolutely no relations to the dead boy.

As she finds the girl that she yearned for crying in a bathroom stall over the death of one of her friends, she finds herself getting pulled deeper and deeper into the death of the boy that she hasn't even ever spoken to in person.

NATHAN SMITH, the star player and captain of the baseball team, the most popular boy in school, and absolutely heartbroken over his best friend's death. 

He's confused, bewildered, sad and angered all at once. And sooner or later, he discovers his conflicting feelings about his ex-best friend, and that maybe it's alright to be the one that needs comforting.

LUCAS MIDDLETON, the quiet nobody that nobody every really took notice to and is just about managing with his daily financial needs. He has confusing, horrible, and hopeless feelings towards his best friend that is his polar opposite.

He's always wondered why his heart beats quicker than usual when he was around him, or why his stomach would be filled with butterflies when he looks into his eyes.

And with a diagnosis of a terminal illness, he has come to terms with and knows that his death won't be far.

Only question is, how far?

The Fuck List by trickst3r4gabri3l
35 parts Complete Mature
Blake McDermott, a senior at Darwin High, has a reputation, and not a desirable one. After his girlfriend broke up with him in front of the entire school, leaving him humiliated, he decided to come up with a game of revenge. He had to make girls fall in love with him, sleep with him, then break their hearts. But when Asher Miller, the school's artsy, quiet, openly gay kid comes into the picture, the rules suddenly change after Blake realizes all the girls are too easy. To give him a real challenge, his friends want him to score Asher as his own. The catch? He needs to do it before school lets out and dump Asher on prom while also completing his list of all the girls in the school. Blake agrees, thinking it would be an easy win. However, Blake is homophobic, and sleeping with a guy would never be something he would do or something he even considered... or is it? What would happen if one of Blake's previous lovers came back into his life? What would happen if Blake falls for Asher and finds himself trapped in a love triangle? What happens when everything just goes entirely wrong? This is "The Fuck List." Similar to a bucket-list, "The Fuck List" is made to be completed within a certain amount of time. Unlike the rest of one's life for a bucket-list, there is only two years for the fuck list to be completed. Join Blake on an emotional journey of self-discovery, love, and devastating loss as he battles the relentless grip of addiction. Struggling to break free from his demons, he navigates the highs of fleeting happiness and the crushing lows of relapse, all while searching for redemption. As he fights to reclaim his life, he faces heartbreak, unexpected connections, and the weight of his past-forcing him to confront the painful truth that change is never easy. Will he find the strength to rise above, or will addiction pull him under once more?

I pulled myself out as I shut my eyes in pain as little bits of shattered glass tore into my flesh. I managed myself out of the vehicle. I attempted to make my legs work again by standing slowly. I gathered all my strength before attempting to pick my brother up once again and walking as his feet dragged behind us. An explosion rang in my ears and sent me shooting against a tree on a wet patch of grass. Then it all goes black... ...::::...::::... Jeremy Mathews is a nerdy type of emo guy. He was involved in a tragic bus accident on his way from school. He's forgotten minor details of his life like his favorite outfit and color, but he's also forgotten some major things like his parents, his bully, his crush, his friends, his academics, and anything in between. He suffers from severe memory loss, no scrapbook can save him from this one. Martin Valve is Jeremy's bully. He's hated him since as long as anyone could remember but... no one knows why. Joyce Valentine is Jeremy's best friend and defender. She's always there for him. He can always find a safe place with her, including when he loses his memory. Xander Timmons is Jeremy's crush. He's the greatest guy you'll ever meet. Quarterback of the football team, nice, smart, and an all around good person. Will he be able to help Jeremy remember the details of his entire life, or maybe just the minor one that is, Xander. Xander has always been fond of the younger boy. He doesn't know why but he does know he cares for him, a lot. All Xander wants is for Jeremy to be the same guy he used to be. The nice, charismatic, loving, and sweet guy he's so used to. He'll do anything to get him back. (Sorry for the poorly written description) *complete* *In editing*

"When something terrible happens to someone, everyone feels sorry for you at first, they take your hand and cry fake tears and say how 'special' you are, how strong you are. But after a while they forget...Then they don't see a person anymore they just see this terrible thing and think you're terrible because of it...It's like a little switch that goes off in people's heads: one minute everyone is your friend and they care oh-so much, then, when things die down, they become terrified of you. You'd be surprised to see what fear can make someone do." Justin Ivanov has never led much of a normal life, but when his sister passes away, his entire world falls apart. Trapped in an abusive relationship and in a school where everyone is scared of him, Justin continues to deteriorate, pinning all his hope on his confused best friend, Ben Fulton. He struggles to keep his family together without them finding out the hidden secret of his sexuality. But the more he fails, the closer he gets to losing himself forever. Ben Fulton doesn't understand what depression is. He doesn't understand why people have it or how to fix it. But when the sudden death of his best friend's sister leaves him feeling empty, he comes too close to comfort with just what depression can make someone do. Trying to sort out his own emotions, sexuality, and future out, Ben also has to balance trying to save Justin. But the more he tries, the more his feelings grow for his best friend, and the closer Justin gets to destroying himself.
