Summary
Axel and I were inseparable until he uncovered, in a rather haphazard manner, that I favored the same sex. A fact that is utterly unexpected in our small, homophobic environment. Years passed silently, with my ex-best buddy and I keeping my secret buried. Deemed irresponsible at the ripe age of seventeen, my parents pushed me to seek psychiatric help and recruited the dutiful Axel as a sitter of sorts. I went from despising him to obsessing over him. I learned in my senior year that life has the worst punch-lines.
