The story revolves around two boys, Felix and Dylan, who seem different on the surface but share a deeper connection through their struggles. Dylan is quiet, withdrawn, and dealing with unspoken trauma-he's a survivor of sexual assault and is battling mental health issues in silence. Felix, though more social on the outside, feels out of place with his friends and is drawn to Dylan's quietness, sensing there's more beneath the surface. As their relationship deepens, Felix starts to uncover the layers of Dylan's emotional pain. "Unspoken" refers to the words and experiences Dylan hasn't been able to voice, both because of the weight of his trauma and because of the societal stigma around these issues. It also reflects Felix's own struggles with expressing his feelings of isolation and discomfort with his louder, rowdy friends. The title highlights: The emotional suppression both characters experience. The barriers to communication around trauma, especially sexual assault. The gradual, intimate process of learning to trust and open up to someone, even when the words are hard to find. Ultimately, "Unspoken" represents the journey of breaking silence-not just the silence of speech, but the silence around trauma, vulnerability, and love. It's about two people learning to share their deepest pains and, through that process, finding healing together.

Bobby is straight. I'm gay. This should be simple. Why, then, is it so complicated? ***** Caleb hated the fact that he was falling for his best friend. Aside from the stress of unrequited love and the issue of Bobby's "ex", the mere notion of his best friend was enough to rip his heart a new one. He was lucky that Bobby was far enough to avoid accidentally-or purposely-breaking Caleb's heart. Until he moves back to L.A. And, oh, the twists and turns the story provides.
