August Patterson is a boy of 16 years old, and seemingly has lived his life like any other. He goes to school, talks to friends, then sleeps. A repeating cycle of dread.
And so when his world seems to get turned upside down after developing a crush on his childhood best friend, Jett Martinez, he loses himself. The waves fall over him, washing him down, down, and away. He knows his life has changed forever, when things get rocky between him and Jett. How will they deal with these new feelings? Will their friendship survive this rickety boat they seem to be riding together? Read to find out!

"Fuck- August don't stop-," as I say this, August must come to his senses, because a horrified expression takes over his entire face. And in a moment, all that sweet tenderness between us is gone. He's about five feet away again before he finally gives me one last strained look, turns and runs.

Also the story contains a few things that may need a trigger warning like smoking, drinking, sexual content, I'll make sure to add a tw at the beginning of the chapters with it in them.
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?
