run away to become a musician.

Ex-boyband
member Dane Karlson is struggling to overcome an eating disorder and a body
dismorphic disorder. His fall through a glass table puts him in rehab and on
the road to recovery. Then a friend dies. When depression causes him to lose
ground, he calls for the only person he trusts--former bandmate Tommy. But
Tommy doesn’t know how to help. He begs his friend Sebastian “Bas” Axelrod to
aid them through the emotional struggle.
Bas,
an openly gay high school student who’s recently lost his grandmother, is
trying to survive his last few months of school before escaping to Stanford.
Having just lost the only person in his family to care for him, he is victim to
the cruelty of the others. His younger brother bullies him, and his parents are
suing him for his gran's inheritance. When Tommy calls, Bas can’t help but run
to his side.
Together
Dane and Bas find a middle ground, supporting each other through the lows,
dancing together during the highs. They build friendships and plan for the prom
and graduation, thinking positively as long as they are together.

Excerpt:
“So
I was thinking since you and I both care about Tommy, we have something in
common. See, Tommy is stressed, and I thought we could do something nice for
him.”
Dane
sat but glared at the man suspiciously. “What sort of nice thing?”
Bas
motioned to the bags. “We’re going to make him cookies.”
Dane
gulped. “I don’t like food.”
“You won’t be eating it. Tommy will. He
canceled a class to come here. Did he tell you? He was taking a theater class
at the community college back in Minnesota. Had to withdraw to be here. And
with college, you know that means giving up any money paid. Not that money
matters much to you guys. Though as young as you all are, I hope you’re well
invested.”
Bas
shrugged at him and began taking things out of the bags. Flour, eggs,
sugar—both white and brown—food coloring, butter, vanilla, and lemons.
“I
didn’t know,” Dane said quietly. He’d thought Tommy would be the least affected
by his problems. Of course he’d been wrong about that too. Couldn’t he do
anything right? “I don’t know anything about cooking.”
“That’s
okay. I got this recipe online. It’s pretty easy. We’re making unicorn poop
cookies.”
“What?”
“They
are sugar cookies with food coloring in them to make them all rainbow-like.
Unicorns are good luck and all that. Supposed to be the embodiment of goodness
and purity.” Bas picked up his tablet, tapped the screen, and flipped it so
Dane could see. The cookies really did look like a big pile of rainbow poop.
“Looks
tasty,” Dane grumbled.
“We
shall see, right? Think you can measure for me?” He pulled out a couple of
cookie sheets and turned on one of the many ovens. “I got permission to use the
kitchen here, but we can’t get too rowdy or they’ll kick me out.” He winked at
Dane. “I’m pretty sure the orderlies outside are to make sure I’m not burning
the place down.”
Dane
got up and moved around the counter to stare at the list of ingredients. Bas
plugged in a big mixer and took the mixing bowl out of it, bringing it to the
counter for them to fill.
“This
is really for Tommy?”
“Sure.
We can send some to Ru and Adam too if you’d like. I heard they are only an
hour or so away.”
“I
don’t want Ru to know I’m here,” Dane said immediately. He didn’t need to mess
up anyone else’s life.
“No
worries. We need tell them nothing other than that they are from you.”
