Life sucks when you're a twenty-six-year-old orphan. It sucks harder when you have to stay in a crappy apartment and feed a cat that hates your guts and hisses at you any chance it gets. It sucks even harder when you have to work for a jerk of a boss who treats you like you are gum under his fancy shoe. It sucks even more when you're too shy and quiet to even think about standing up to him. Besides, you need this job or you'll be homeless.

Alex and Liam have been best friends their whole lives until a drunken kiss leads them down separate paths. As time passes, they must face truths they never expected. ***** Alex Camejo and Liam Santos have been thick as thieves since they met at age seven. As the years passed, Liam protected Alex from bullies while Alex denied what those bullies were saying. He's not gay no matter how "girly" he seems... or how much he longs to hold Liam's hand. But a drunken kiss tears everything down. The inseparable Liam Santos and Alex Camejo can no longer be friends. Without each other's support, they must overcome the struggles of adolescence, coming out, new lovers, self-doubt and lingering emotions. One hopes he will forget his best friend and find happiness. The other hopes they will reunite and be happy. In the end, whose dreams will come true? [[Watty's Award Winner]]
