"I owe it to him to at very least get him home safe. It's least I could do,' Carmelo told himself, as he carried Rudy home after he had been attacked in the woods. He hated himself for how much he had hurt him, but at the same time he still couldn't tell him why. How could he, when it meant admitting to being the one thing he could never let himself be? Meanwhile Rudy has his own struggles, especially after his falling out with Tobias. How was he supposed to keep going now, without anyone by his side? How could he survive now on his own? And not only survive, but find happiness along the way? Trigger warnings: self-harm, suicidal thoughts, internalized homophobia, homophobia, mentions of past bullying (Specific TWs will be added at the beginning of each chapter!)
