This is about the third one." --- Angel Young is going to die. Or at least he thought so. But when he prepares himself for the fall of the 7 stories, he gets a strange call that suddenly stops him. Haruki Nakamura is going to die. Or at least he plans on it. But right when he looks down the face of his open bedroom window, he decides to give life one last shot to keep him around. When a wrong call to the right person turns both of the boys' deteriorating lives towards each other, they make a pact to put off their deaths for one year in a last promise they will give their world one more chance before saying goodbye. And if at the end of it they still can't find reason to go on, they'll both fall together. After all, if they can't save themselves, then they can at least try to save each other.

Sage Gibson wasn't prepared for his whole existence to be uprooted and moved away. He didn't love his life, but that didn't mean he wouldn't miss it. Now he's in a small town where he pretends not to notice the looks some people give him. Maybe it's the painted finger nails? He doesn't care all that much. He's too busy trying to figure himself out and how much of his past is affecting him. With his family to worry about and his own personal puzzle that is his mind, he doesn't have time to care about what people at school think of him. He's happy enough with his one new friend and gawking at her hot brother. (He will never admit that last part out loud.) That's all he needs. And if said hot brother wants to become friends too? Well, he won't complain. Marc Yamasaki is normally a quiet guy. He doesn't like to talk too much and everyone has just accepted that. He doesn't have much to say, so why try? He's too tired of trying to get people to care. When a new boy shows up, suddenly his interest is piqued. The freckled face boy is good at basketball and he's a little cute. Sure, he likes to talk a lot, but Marc finds it oddly adorable. The only slight problem is his hesitation to join the team, and the fact that he might be flirting with Aria, Marc's sister. He can't tell if he wants to hate or like this guy. Then he finds out he's gay? Cherry on top. So, what happens when the two boys get closer while playing basketball? Their friendship gets to feeling a little... odd. What will they become when a new tension starts to settle over them?

To his peers, Liam Kingsley has it all-girls, good looks, loving parents, and a best friend that'll fight for him until the death. Little does the school know that Liam's faking it. Faking it all. Fearing the loss of everything he's worked so hard to achieve, Liam forces himself to constantly keep up the act of a charming young bachelor. But when Liam becomes friends with the mysterious Connor Hawkins, a dreamy eyed misfit, he begins to lose all the control he's worked so hard to maintain for seventeen long years. Eventually, Liam realizes he knows very little about the mysteriously quiet boy, despite all the years they have attended school together. Connor breathes new life into Liam, and soon Liam discovers that when love, lies, and lust intertwine they can have consequences. Consequences he's not quite sure he's ready for just yet.
