What do you do when you're given a second chance at life?

***

Age 15: Oliver Sallow is shipped to the tiny town of Blissby to live with a new foster family. Finn O'Connell is captain of the football team. Neither of them knows much about the other except for one thing: they have absolutely nothing in common.

Age 17: Oliver finds Finn having a panic attack in the library bathroom. They still have nothing in common. They fall in love all the same.

Age 18: Oliver breaks up with Finn.

Age 18.5: Oliver dies in a motorcycle accident. Six minutes and twenty-four seconds later, he wakes up again to be offered a deal: he will get to spend another twelve months as a guardian angel, neither fully dead nor completely alive. The catch: the person he is assigned to help is none other than Finn O'Connell.

Age 19: Two boys, fourteen months of history, and a promise: this time, there can be no falling back in love.

Liability by queenofthewips

[BxB] In the eyes of the public, Rhys Martinez is the darling boy of the governor of New York, who has an angelic smile and charming wit. The people of New York and the media adore him, girls and boys (as well as some men and women) are desperate for even just a second glance from him. Reality is a fickle goddess, however. Because Rhys is neither sweet nor caring, he doesn't give a single fuck about people in general unless they are his grandfather or his best friend. He fits right in at Edison Academy's worst class despite never being participating in the havoc his classmates tend to wreak. But he never discourages the sick games either because he doesn't care. Not after what happened the previous year. He is ready to sit back and watch as his classmates do their worst to traumatize and torture whatever poor soul they get as their new homeroom and Literature teacher. And upon seeing the pathetic, weak kid that barely looks older than them in his preppy clothes and huge glasses, he knows that there is no chance that Dmitri Armand would last more than a week under the Black Sheep's tender care. But reality likes to play tricks on those who assume things...

Now, at the turn of the tide, he'd better learn how to make friends with his worst fear: living. Think of second chances, new beginnings, and gay romance.

[BXB / unedited ] Saying that Max Oran is a disaster would be an understatement: he got himself kicked out of school, his dad has sent him to live with his emotionally distant mother and his friends don't want anything to do with him.

As Max develops new bonds and begins to fall for Cole, he realizes that, despite everything, he might have stumbled into something beautiful. Eager to embrace the second chance that life has given him, Max begins counseling and, with the help of Cole and his newfound friends, tries to move forward. However, he quickly realizes that there are more bumps ahead than he was prepared for and is forced to decide if he's going to push past his problems or let his mistakes hold him back forever.

Notebook [Book One] by SerenityHeat

Aiden hid the year-long abuse from everyone; his mother, father, and baby cousin. That was, until it became too much, and his parents pulled him out of school to relocate. Evan couldn't wait to introduce his favourite cousin to the group of boys he grew up with. Maybe Aiden would finally make some friends and come to terms with the violence he faced back in London. Nathan was the quiet boy whose life had been upside down for years and showed no signs of settling. That was until he gravitated towards the pretty pink-haired boy who carried just as many painful stories. One mute; another scarred for life. They were meant to be. #1 - Teen-Drama

The Bad Boy Saved Me by Pentatonix21

Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?
