Alan thinks he's going to be spending all summer on his own, until his older brother's friend, Austin, finds a way into his life. Together, they begin a series of secret trips at night, when neither can sleep.

Cashby story. They meet on night over sorrows and become something more than strangers. That is if Austin can kick Alan's muteness out.

"Mr. Ashby." "Yes?" "Do you know how insufferably hot you are?" he asked, locking the door, and shutting the blinds. "Well, yes. I've been told." I said, smirking. "Wipe that smirk off your face. Before I wipe it off for you." "And how would you do that, sir?" I asked, standing up. "Like this." The next thing I knew, I was pushed up against the whiteboard and Mr. Carlile's lips were on mine.

Mute. That's what they would call him. Alan Ashby has been mute for 1 years not speaking to nobody because he had no one simply to speak to. After his parents nearly shunned him as soon as he came out of the closet. He didn't have anyone no family nor friends to talk with. He has absolutely nothing. That was until Austin Carlile came along. He was the star baseball player at the school who happened to be openly gay and no one minded really, sure there was the few people at the school who would call him a 'fag' but he didn't care because he was happy with who he was as a person. Then everything almost shifted. He ran into some boy who caught his attention. The 'mute' kid that no one talked to. He quickly gained interest in the little ginger and wanted to befriend him or maybe something more but first he needed to find out exactly why the ginger was mute in the first place.

Alan and Austin have been friends for a while now... Alan can't help the fact he fell in love with Austin more and more each day. It took him 5 tries to say I love you. One time, he actually did.

Alan Ashby is a boy that lost his way and needs help recovering from his mean, depressed old self. Austin Carlile is an angel, but not just any angel; Alan's guardian angel. He will stitch Alan's wounds and help him on the road to recovery.
