I haven't even read this story so I really can't give any personal insight to it. All I know, is I didn't write it. All credits go to fullcollapse on livejournal, I think. With the help of his friends, Ryan has just learned how to like life. Brendon hasn't yet found such luck. This is a story about strong relationships, trust, not wanting to be alone, and holding hands. There's a river, and just like its never-ending path to the ocean, some things just go on forever. Sometimes you need someone more than you need yourself, and sometimes, that's okay.
