Noah has realized something. 

He's gay. 

He's not phased by it however, what he is phased about is that he's falling in love with his best friend Benjamin who is supposedly on vacation with his family. Eventually building enough courage to express his feelings, Noah prepares for ben's return. Days pass and Benjamin still hasn't come home. Noah has a gut wrenching feeling something is wrong, so what more is there to do then to go on a road trip from Maine to Florida to find him?

A Breath of Fresh Air by HeyImZackC
10 parts Complete
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, his hypermasculine brother, homophobic stepdad, and aloof mother all embark on a weekend vacation to the Florida panhandle, none of them can anticipate how much a simple 3-day trip will change their lives forever... 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. **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 will soon be revisiting this story and making some enhancements - most notably, splitting up current chapters into smaller ones so they are much more easily digestible. In addition, I'll be making some edits to grammar and formatting, as well as giving some of the dialog a refresh in an effort to be less...cringe. Lol. There are also a few plot points I want to smooth out. While all of this is happening, the story will still be available in full here on Wattpad, though you may notice some "construction" happening (i.e. one chapter is very long and then there's a super short chapter, one chapter is formatted differently than another, etc.) Thanks for your patience while I work to spruce up this story :) I hope you still enjoy it in the meantime!
