Christopher Lale has been having a hard time dealing with his family fighting. Everyone seems to have some big problem with each other. Chris just wants to get away. School and work is his refuge. His friends' houses have become more of a home than his own.
When his parents decide to divorce, it's expected but still shocking. Suddenly he is thrown into a world of frequent court dates, messy meeting times with parents, and sibling split-ups, all a month before Chris turns 18. Chris reminds himself that all he has to do is stick it out until he turns 18. Will it only get worse from here? Or better?

For 17-year-old high school senior Evan Brooks, life could be better. He's a social outcast at school, stuck in a rural Alabama small town he never wanted to move to, and he's got a secret he's desperately trying to keep: he's gay. When he embarks on a weekend vacation to the Florida panhandle with his hypermasculine brother, homophobic stepdad, and aloof mother, none of them can anticipate how much a simple 3-day trip will change their lives forever... **2025 Update: Hi! This was my very first attempt at crafting an entire story from scratch all the way back in 2020, and I'd like to think my writing has since improved. I've started working on a big rewrite project, so stay tuned for a newly enhanced story! Please visit the last chapter (2025 Rewrite Info/Updates) for more details. In the meantime, the original story will remain here in full - just know that I know some parts of it are cringe lol. I hope you still enjoy it though! :) Some details have changed between this story and Road to Rockdale in anticipation of the rewrite, so please excuse some inconsistencies if you're coming from that story. I promise everything will line up eventually! CONTENT WARNING/TRIGGERS: Please note that this story contains very strong language at times and some mature themes. Some characters face emotional abuse. There is also a small amount of physical abuse, but it is mostly implied apart from one scene which is not extremely graphic. Some characters are homophobic, and a slur is used a handful of times.

Shut Up (Boy×Boy)

22 parts Complete

Guy looked at me with a serious expression on his face, "You know James, it seems to me like you might have a crush on me." I immediately got defensive, "Shut up." ----------------------------------- James is the nerd of the school, focused on becoming a doctor. Guy is hard on the outside but soft on the inside, aiming to become a musician. The two make the best of friends but when Guy comes back from holiday, he begins to see them as more than that. Throw in a crumbling friend group, the messy divorce of James's parents and an opportunity for Guy to gain a scholarship to music school and the boys find their lives turning upside down. Will they pull through, or fall apart?
