Editor's Pick Braeden's never had to question anything before. He's always been popular, always had everything handed to him, and always been straight. Then he met Jeffrey Young. Quiet, studious, analytical ... a guy. Falling for Jeff ultimately resulted in Braeden's expulsion. Now he's questioning everything. Like if he can handle his pill-abusing mother and ruthlessly enabling father much longer. If he's protecting his siblings out of selfless motivations. If he belongs with Jeff, now his boyfriend. Jeff's less-than-straight friends are skeptical of his sexuality as well, which isn't assuaging any of Braeden's fears. As his connection to Jeff deepens quicker than expected, Braeden has to face the question he's been avoiding for weeks: what is he supposed to do with a guy?
