Summary
All those promises long dead and buried, and yet Cal felt like a gravedigger, constantly clawing through the deep soil to unearth them, only to hold the memories in his mind in a form of deep self-torture. He blamed himself; it could only have been him. Why else would Andre not even care to leave a note after everything? All those stolen nights, cigarettes under the bleachers, touches that felt so intimate they bordered on holy communion and laughter over secrets kept close to their chests, that felt almost ecstatic and contagious in their manic violence.
Or:
The prequel to California Dreamin' taking place over the two years from when Andre left Cal for college up until they meet again in the club one night in San Francisco. Cal is tortured by Andre leaving him, and searching for answers within himself, he ends up travelling across America, on a journey that will irreparably change him.

Summary
He tossed the towel over the sofa's armrest, happy with his still slightly damp locs, and reached for the remote, unsurpisingly there wasn't much of anything on, but it didn't stop him from flicking through the channels in the growing urgency to cover the silence. He wasn't sure why his mind was reacting the way it was. This was Will, his best friend. The one he'd known since they were kids, the person he'd shared his lunches with in elementary school, the person who had helped with his maths homework when his dad was 'too busy' to help, the person who Mike knew would always have his back. So why did any moment of silence feel suffocating? He blamed the way the storm howled just outside, as if desperate to encroach through the house, infect it like a virus, spread from room to room and tear the warmth away until all that was left was the beating heart of this bloody, poisonous storm!
Or:
Will asks Mike to come over to his place late at night while a storm rages outside. Nothing good can come from this. -

Summary
He lay in bed most nights, trying to ignore the way his back seemed to tense and bristle against his clothing from where they had torn into him under the guise of 'pleasure'. How it leads to shots of super-charged adrenaline running through his body, as if he were somehow conducting lightning strikes. The air didn't feel uncatchable, but rather too heavy for his lungs, as if they might collapse under the simple weight of oxygen itself. He gripped at his skin like he was trying to dig out the horrors that lurked beneath, banish them from his caged brain, like a canary in a coal mine. Once an innocent lamb, brought to the slaughter, his skin a commodity, his breath a perfume, his spit an elixir. All up for sale, always up for sale, a being without a soul, as that had been harvested long ago.
OR - It's late at night, and Cal is thinking over his life so far in the lead up to Zero Day.

Summary
Andre didn't know what to do for a moment. All his mental walls, all the healing he'd attempted to do, suddenly lay in ash, completely deteriorated around him. In just a few short words, this man had been able to completely disarm him, leaving him utterly defenceless. It was as if Cal had reached back into his very being, wrapping around him like a snake, all spindly roots and jagged thorns, trying to suffocate and drag him under while bleeding him out. He was like a curse Andre couldn't shake, a demon which had latched onto his soul and was destined to feast and gorge itself on anything peaceful until all that remained was him.
Or:
Andre reaches San Francisco while on a road trip with a friend. Finding their motel to be less than desirable, they decide to go out clubbing, where Andre runs into a familiar face from his past.Series
