In a small town where rumors run rampant, the boys keep their intense intimacy a secret. When the girl next door threatens to upheave everything him and Charlie have built together, his old friends's backlash against his friendship with Charlie becomes more severe, and the frequent bruises on Charlie's body begin to paint a picture too horrible and disturbing to imagine, Lucas is faced with a difficult choice.

I wished I didn't have these crazy attraction and affectionate feelings for him, but I did; there was no controlling them, so I supposed I was just in for a long ride, one that would certainly lead to heartbreak.
