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.

Alan Ashby is what you'd call a loner in every sense. His dad is no where to found. Just as his world begins to crumble, someone shows up, literally. Austin is the new kid, he is unknown and mysterious. He has no friends and Alan finds something intriguing in him. Will they overcome the judgmental world to admit their feelings or will they let their love slip right through their finger tips?

Everyone regrets things.

Homophobia and two boys kissing. (Austin Carlile + Alan Ashby)

I'll try and update this as much as I can. Wattpad's deciding to be a douche, so I may have to move to Mibba -.- BUT, we'll see! Enjoy :3

Austin Carlile and Alan Ashby have been friends for awhile now, they have always been there for each other since day one. Will things change when one of the friends falls in love with the other? Will they accept their feelings for each other or will they part ways from Of Mice & Men to avoid any possible situations?

Nothing can break apart a couple who are destined together... Right?

Alan, a once outgoing, happy sixteen year old from Boston, is sent to live with his grandparents in California, following his parents death. Following their death, and old friends turning away from him, he decides to shut himself off from the world. He becomes quite, reserved, depressed and has refused to let anyone in since the night that changed his life forever. But what happens when Austin, a sixteen year old boy who is angry with life and one of the school's biggest bullies is dared to make Alan fall in love with him with the intentions of destorying him?

"I'm sick, Alan, really sick." Sometimes when you think it's the end, it's only the beginning. Austin thought he could save me, but in giving me everything, he ruined me. Because after one kiss, one touch, I couldn't - I wouldn't ever be the same. Especially since in the end, he won't be here. College sucks, specifically if you're, depressed, dying and in love.
