***DISCLAIMER*** I did not write this story, full credits go to fullcollapse.livejournal.com. i only put it here so it's easy to read. Mostly AU, high school age setting. With the help of his friends, Ryan has just learned how to like life. Brendon hasn't yet found such luck. This is a story about strong relationships, trust, not wanting to be alone, and holding hands. There's a river, and just like its never-ending path to the ocean, some things just go on forever. Sometimes you need someone more than you need yourself, and sometimes, that's okay. Rating: R. Word count: 200,000+

Lucky Ryan got to go live with his mom who worked all the time but what he didn't expect was to take Brendon with him and form something more than a friendship.
