Alex has started teaching at his new school. Jack is one of his students.

Jack, Alex, and Libbie. The three of them are happy, living their perfect lives together as a beautiful family. Although, on a fateful night, Jack and Alex's relationship is put to the test. Jack isn't sure if he can trust his husband anymore, and really, he isn't sure if he ever will be able to again. More and more things pile up until Alex can't handle it anymore. They split, leaving them to share their own daughter, but Jack is at his breaking point. Things soon get back on track, but after Jack finds out some life changing news, he's not sure if he can tell Alex, for the fear of being kicked out of his life for good.

Alex Gaskarth, son of a meth head father and alcoholic mother, had suffered a lot in his fourteen years growing up in the UK. Thrown into foster home after foster home, he was considered relatively 'normal' by fellow caretakers. Never one to trust people, Alex kept to himself. That is, until four days after his fifteenth birthday. On December 18th, on a surprisingly warm Tuesday evening, Alex's world got turned upside down, namely by someone who he wanted nothing to do with - at first. Jack Barakat was his name; helping underprivileged kids was his game. On a trip with his church, Jack was introduced to Alex, instantly feeling a friendly connection with the boy, and simply, nothing more. Alex, though, felt resentment, though he still felt open. He considered himself different from the other kids in his group home, since they hadn't needed/wanted a 'big brother.' But, Alex would soon change his mind, and he would come to rely on Jack, not only as a big brother, but as someone he trusted, which didn't happen easily. As their friendship progressed, Alex and Jack grew closer, almost becoming inseparable by the time Jack's church trip was over. The day he left, Alex had felt heartbreak for the first time in his life, and he prayed he never had to feel the same feeling again. He distanced himself from everyone again, like he had been doing for fifteen years before. Jack wrote to him, but Alex never replied. He believed that Jack had betrayed him, just like his own family. But, would Jack be able to change Alex's mind if they were to meet again?

Jalex. It's real, everyone knows it. Jack and Alex can't deny it anymore, especially after a serious issue arises between the two of them. That issue soon grows into something more than the two of them had ever thought possible, and really, it bring Jack and Alex closer together; it makes them one.

One minute - that's all it takes for me to fall in love with the dusty blonde haired stranger and for Alex to be certain with the identity of his next victim - me. And there I was; drugged, tied to a mattress, raped, attacked and yet I felt guilty. It was my fault Alex was like this. I wasn't complying. I'd messed up his life and I need to feel sorry for him; he knows what's right and that's that I deserve this. I deserve this all.

Alex Gaskarth: New kid. Quite. Gay. No friends. No loving family. He is seriously "messed up." Jack Barakat: Popular. Rich. "Bad boy." Confused about his sexuality? Now he is. Rian Dawson: Popular. Heart throbber and heart breaker. Falling in love is tough, trying to find love is harder. Zack Merrick: Nerd. Gamer. Bullied. And in love with a girl out of his league. What do these four boys have in common besides the fact that they go to the same school? They have Saturday detention of course! Dark secrets. Past lovers. And high school. Will the unloved become loved?
