   Summary

   When Dex was a kid, he was bullied for being the weird one in class. He didn't have a single friend, not outside music class at least. Until one Charlie Disco and his two buddies, Benny and Hemlock, show up to save him and offer him a spot in their rag tag group.

   Through the years Dex and Charlie's relationship takes on new meaning. From friends to strangers to band mates to even lovers at a point.
   And with each new step in their relationship Charlie makes them a bracelet in celebration.

   But what happens when friendship turns to hatred. What happens when that bond is severed and nothing but the frayed edges remain.
