The Clock Strikes Twelve
by Mystic_Winter_Witch
Stephen was once bright, curious, and full of life until the day everything changed. Now, at age sixteen, he drifts through life detached and wary, haunted by sleepless nights. But then he meets these boys, Liam, Oliver, Noah, and Lucas, and for the first time in many years finds the first sparks of friendship. But each night at exactly midnight, Stephen is yanked into a weird, deserted realm that's identical to his own--but where nothing is as it appears … and nothing is safe. As the boundaries between reality and this shadowed realm blur, Stephen must navigate friendship, fear, and the darkness within himself.
