I do not own the drawing for the cover I found it on Twitter. Ok here's the deal Alexander is mute and has been for 3 years after his best friend James died. Shortly after his dad left his mom developed a drinking problem. He has to take care of his mom all the time, he's in the closet. He doesn't want to talk to anyone he thinks if he gets attached to anyone they will end up leaving, that's why he's so worried about his mother. Eddie on the other hand can't shut up he's super happy and go lucky. He moved to Colorado and it doesn't take much time for him to make some really good friends, but who he's really interested in is the boy who always seems to be alone and is determined to make him his friend or maybe more.. - This is my first Fan-fiction no hate please, It's the basic shiz you've read over and over. Please don't think i'm stealing this story it is like a lot of other stories but all of it is out of my mind and If it is really similar to a different fan fiction I am truly sorry.
