Max Black is your typical popular teenaged boy. Dark hair, strong jawline, toned and tanned body, good grades and glasses. What people don't see is how broken he really is, and how much he needs reassurance in general.
Once his long friendship with Matt Holt and Chris Rodriguez is over and his secrets spilled (especially one concerning his sexuality), he has to learn to live without any kind of friends or support from his family. And most importantly, with zero chances of getting close to his crush since primary school: Alex Grace.
This is the story of how his life came tumbling down in a matter of seconds, and how he had to struggle through all of the darkness alone. How the perfect, soft boy ended up as being nothing more than a bullied, skinny and lanky teenager struggling with anxiety and depression. It is the story of love, true friendship and true sadness.
I sat in the library. There was not a single person in sight. There was just complete, suffocating silence. Then the silence shattered when I heard loud footsteps. Each step got louder and louder. I looked up and saw . . . Max. He stood right before of me. His hair held in a slick quiff and his beautiful lips curved in a grin. My heart started to beat rapidly. I watched him hopelessly as he bent down, towards me, near me. His face inches away from me. I could feel his cold breath on my face.
"You still love me, don't you?" He asked in his deep voice.
The answer was yes, I did love him. . . but I can't tell him that. I don't want him to repeat all the things he did to me. I don't want him to make me cry for hours. But will he love me for real this time if I forgive him? If I don't forgive him, will I ever forget him? Will I ever be able to give love a second chance?
