With Patrick out of his life, Derek attempts to go on with daily life and put the young man out of his mind. But thoughts of Patrick haunt his heart and his dreams. With help from his friends - and a deeper look within his own heart - Derek begins to understand that love is not just a "feeling"... but a willingness to sacrifice.
Patrick struggles to convince himself and Brian that he wants nothing to do with Derek, but with each passing day, that conviction weakens. When everything concerning Derek is suddenly exposed to everyone in his life, Patrick finds himself alone, no longer certain who is friend or foe... or who he can trust.
Alex and Cal have been best friends since what feels like forever.
They've been through it all together; first day of school, first kisses, and Alex's parents abandoning him. Through thick and thin, Alex and Cal have been there for each other, the best of friends.
Until Cal realizes that maybe he likes Alex as more than a friend and, instead of talking about it like a normal person, shoves those feelings somewhere deep down inside of him. Eventually Alex notices something off about Cal and confronts him. Will this confrontation be the end of their relationship? Or will it bring about something new and wonderful?
