[BXB / unedited ]

Saying that Max Oran is a disaster would be an understatement: he got himself kicked out of school, his dad has sent him to live with his emotionally distant mother and his friends don't want anything to do with him.

When Max starts at his new school, he meets Cole Benson and his turbulent but loyal friends. As Max develops new bonds and begins to fall for Cole, he realizes that, despite everything, he might have stumbled into something beautiful.

Eager to embrace the second chance that life has given him, Max begins counseling and, with the help of Cole and his newfound friends, tries to move forward.

However, he quickly realizes that there are more bumps ahead than he was prepared for and is forced to decide if he's going to push past his problems or let his mistakes hold him back forever.

Look After You by vinylplanets

Chicago had never greeted the Valentines with open arms. Instead it greeted them with a slap in the face and reality served on a silver platter. Living with such a large family and such a small income was harder than anyone could have imagined especially when your best form of income comes from your mom being a hooker. Alexander is a middle child in the large family. At the prime age of fourteen he's starting to become confused about many things in his life such as where he fits in, what he wants to do when he's older and his sexuality. Nolan is in the same boat. Though he is not part of the Valentine family he got the privilege of living down the street from them. He had a slightly smaller family with only a slightly better income. But the only things Nolan feels he needs is astronomy, books and his best friend Alexander who is always getting them into trouble. TRIGGER WARNINGS : suicidal thoughts/mentions, abuse, underage drinking, some sexual content, cussing.
