I'll Make This Perfect Again

Did you ever fall in love with your best friend? Did you just learn your feelings for them weren't exactly platonic just in time for them to find love elsewhere? What if your best friend was a male, just like you, and he was gay, too, but he didn't like you like that? What if he had had a secret boyfriend for a year and told only you about it and no one else? What if they finally broke up and his ex spread around the school he was gay, effectively outing him to everyone, just to have everyone in the school look down on him and bully him? What would you do? Would you stay around to help him through everything, always being by his side though it caused you so much pain, just to be there for him, or would you give up and leave him, too, for your own sake?

I had originally posted this as a one-shot in my one-shot collection, but that particular book isn't getting very much attention compared to my others. I fell in love with this particular one-shot and I feel like I could expand it some. I think it has potential to be some of my best work. So I tweaked the title a little and I'm going to edit it some before I post it again. I'm hoping it gets some attention and you guys want more.

I do feel the need to put some warnings here, hoping that you guys will read this first. This story does have mentions of homophobia, bullying, rape and cutting. If that is something you are not comfortable with reading about, it's probably best you skip this one.
