This is a finished story.

Let's start by making one thing VERY clear:

Fiction = 100% NOT REAL

I've been wanting to write this story for three years now but I never had the guts to do it. As my fourth story of the summer, I decided it wouldn't hurt. I wrote it in 9 days, the quickest I've written any story of this length. Now you can read it or you can move on to something else. It doesn't matter to me. But, you're probably wondering why I'm saying this. Let me explain what this story is about.

Zac Hanson is a happy musician, about to go on a two-month tour before recording his next album with his brothers. He stops off at home to see his girlfriend of seven months, whom he's very serious about and cares deeply for, where he discovers she is sick and ends up for a night out with the boys. He discovers his best buds have made a new friend by the name of Benjamin Fletcher. Ben is just like the rest of the guys until Zac discovers his secret: he's gay. Zac fears he's just the same.

This story deals with a lot of problems--prejudice, homophobia, fear, and religion. It deals with some taboos and some stereotypes of gay relationships. As a reader, I've discovered most stories (and it's not even limited to that, even in the general public) define gays as spirited sexaholics, in which not all of them are. Of course there are some, but you can find that in any kind of relationship, not just gay ones. I tried to make this story as beautiful and as natural as possible.

And before you begin, I'd just like to say that if anybody takes any offense in this, in any way, I'm sorry. You don't have to read it. In fact, if you think you're going to be offended, I encourage you not to read it. Read something else. Otherwise, enjoy the story.
