We were six years old when I fell in love with Gage Beaumont., We were 17 when he realized he felt the same., His dad was the town troublemaker, and I was the son of a cop. We couldnt have been more different, yet we were best friends, had each others backs, and kept each others secrets. What you are, I am, we always said., Then one night irrevocably changed our lives forever., Its 10 years before I see Gage again, and instantly I can tell hes not the same boy I fell in love with. Were both haunted and hardened by the memory of that night - of everything we did and saw., Yet as much as weve changed, the connection between us lingers. Our history is so devastatingly complicated that its difficult to allow ourselves happiness. With every touch, every laugh, every moment we take back, the more signs I see of the old Gage resurfacing. Little by little, Im becoming the Joey he remembers, too., But its never that easy. If we truly want to heal, we have to find strength not only in each other
