What would you do if you were gay and lived with a VERY homophobic, religious family? Caleb is the most adorable boy you'll ever meet. At almost 17 years old, Caleb's so far in the closet, he's explored Narnia for so long, he's practically lost in that vagina-like wardrobe. Only his best friend, Chelsea, knows about his preference for sausage. When the sexy Tyler Winters moves in next door, the condoms come out and secrets are told. Can Caleb keep his secret from his loving, intolerant family? Will Tyler stop playing around and get serious, despite a rough past?

Bisexual, Finn McCormick finally gets to leave the hospital after a car accident a few weeks before. His fancy blue hair is fading and his roots are horrendous, but he wouldn't know that, would he? Because Finny has recently been proclaimed legally blind. Patrick hates queers. But he tries to change that when his beloved brother, Caleb, comes out as gay to his family. One of Caleb's best friends, Finn, confuses him to no end. With scarred eyes and a gimp hand, you'd think little Finny would be helpless and vulnerable; NOT strong willed and independent. Intrigued by the blue haired boy, Pat tries even harder to drop his hatred of gays. But will he be able? Old habits die hard. (lol not my best summary. i'll try to fix later perhaps)

The brush of an arm, the tap of a hand, any skin to skin contact and Dakota Grinn is plagued with the horror of that person's death. He sees the Number, the date they'll die, and feels the pain they encounter when they do. Skin melting, knife twisting, bones cracking; Dakota feels it. And he's sick of it. Abandoned by his parent's because of his "gift", Dakota hops around foster home to foster home. The beginning of his 8 days start at a new foster home with a kind, understanding foster mom with a too low Number. As the 8 days pass, Dakota meets Andy, an adorable, sweet guy that insists on being his friend. Normally secluding himself from people, Dakota feels drawn to Andy. Is it the fact that his cute face takes his breath away? Is it because his light, gentle voice calms Dakota instantly? Or is it how whenever he feels Andy's Number, Dakota is filled with warmth and love and the feeling of having lived a long, happy life? And the strangest thing; Dakota sees himself right there with him, holding Andy lovingly in his arms. Even with the single source of warmth, Dakota is still left with the fear and pain of others' deaths. But only 8 days. He only needs to last 8 more days. Then Dakota ends it all. Or will Andy be able to save him in time?
