By the time we got to the party, I was actually ready to get away from Jake. Ever since the kiss earlier he continued to act stranger as the afternoon went on. After we left my house, we went to his so he could change. His mother was home and I was forced to sit on the couch and watch episodes of Grey’s Anatomy with her. She was crying and it was awkward. When Jake came back to the living room, he was no longer withdrawn like he had been earlier. He was smiling at me, and even put a hand on my

Thank you for reading my story and being a faithful reviewer. It's people like you who have helped me reach that milestone.

That is a stupid rule The next chapter should be out shortly, so be looking forward to that! Master of Angst! I'll take it, haha. I swear, one day I will write a story that has minimal angst.

Yay! I am so glad this story finally got updated again! I love it! Keep it up, Krista.

You see, life sucks most of the time. You try and you try and you can never know which way is up. Are you in the right or are you terribly mistaken? Are you the problem or is everyone else? This whole shitload of feelings has really got me thinking like this. Am I the problem? Part of me says yes, of course I am. Because I could be so much better. I could do so much more to fix things that I’m just not doing. Everything is my fault and it’s up to me to fix it. But maybe not, maybe everythin

Thanks, it's been a fun 4 years, but I'm going to grad school, so not much relief yet. I am so thankful for your continued support of this story. Thank you for your kind words. Caleb continues to grow as the story goes on, and we'll see what's in store for him. Hopefully soon!

Thanks for the review. I appreciate your kind words.

I don’t know why I came here. I don’t know why I’ve decided to torture myself even more by sitting in my car staring at the Starbucks sign knowing Knox is inside waiting on me. But I did come. Maybe because I know everything is unraveling faster than I can figure out and after lunch today I am so confused that I think something like this might even help. Even if it’s a bad idea because I don’t know why Knox wanted me to come here. I have no idea what’s going on and that scares me because ev

It was meant to be surreal and odd. Knox's behavior was kind of the breaking point for the whole thing, and right now it's a mystery . Please do check out the new one. It's different than this one, but I think it will be enjoyable.

It'll be around soon

The school morning passes uneventfully. I feel empty and a little nervous, but that’s business at usual. Unless you count my incessant recounting of everyone I know’s possible reaction if I told them I was gay. I even made a chart in my Spanish notebook during third period. The columns have a plus sign, a minus sign, and a squiggly line that I decided means unsure. The plus column has Cassie, of course, and Carson, because I decided she would be an ally no matter what. I also put Kaitlyn an

It’s Thursday. Which means I have to get up early and go to school for the FCA huddle meeting when all I really want to do is stay in bed all day going over and over that text Knox sent me last night. I didn’t respond. How could I have? What could I have possibly said that would have had any value without totally spilling everything I’ve tried so hard to contain? I knew it was a mistake when I sent him a text in the first place, but I did and now it’s all falling apart because I’m weak. I dis

Thanks for the review Lisa, as always. I struggled with juggling Cassie's age and insightfulness. I knew/know plenty of 14 year olds (heck, 20 year olds) that could never articulate or understand what she said, but I modeled her on at least two girls I know (well, knew, they're no longer 14) who were/are incredibly deep and insightful, even at 14. We'll explore more of Caleb's applied reaction to Cassie's advice, as well as be introduced more fully to his circle of friends in the next few chapters. But that's spoilers, so you'll have to wait for the next chapter!

I shouldn’t be like this. I’m lying in my bed and I know I shouldn’t be like this. Why can’t it all just be easier? Why couldn’t my life just be easier? But who am I trying to convince? My life isn’t so hard, not really. Wow, I’m gay. Whoop-dee-do. Millions of people in the world are gay and just fine, right? At least I’m not starving or being murdered in a war or being abused or something. I’m an upper-middle-class brat crying all the time because I’m gay and I don’t know how to deal with

Thanks Lisa! The next chapter is completed and should be up in the next couple of days, but I won't give any spoilers Also, thanks for the corrections. I try to find everything but sometimes I overlook mistakes, especially when the word I've written sounds like the correct word. I can't believe I made those mistakes in the first place though.

If by Louisville, you mean Kentucky, it's pretty far. Haha. 9-10 hours through the Appalachian Mountains. But I have done it before, so that's a plus.

I'm glad you are enjoying it! I've posted chapter two, but it is waiting approval.

You're right. It's definitely not SOC a la Joyce of Faulkner (I would never even try to compare myself to them). But it is SOC-esque. Thanks so much for reading. (PS We could call it a Bildungsroman, but that may be too pretentious

But I’m not depressed or anything, okay. It’s not like I’m going to kill myself. I don’t cry all the time and lay in bed and not move like a vegetable. I’m not a complete loser, okay. I’m just a fake and dead and I hate everything about my life and sometimes I just want to quit it all, but not by actually dying. Maybe just by living in some random cave in Nunavut, alone, and never coming out. Ever. Wait, there was no pun intended. Or maybe there was. Freud would say there was and that I’m

I was already dead when I met Knox. Okay, so not literally dead. I was still alive enough to go to school and eat and breath and do crap like that, but I didn’t feel alive. I don’t know why I’m talking like anything’s changed...I am still dead, really. Even when I’m playing football, because if anything should make a blue-blooded American boy feel alive, it’s football, right? Only, I don’t even like football. I actually hate it. But I still go to practice every day and throw my body around a

Caleb Abernathy just can't seem to get a grasp on his life. Watch what happens as he slowly finds himself faced with everything he tried to avoid.

This movie is so good. I would love to see it on stage.
