u should let it marinate then
In a few chps Alex will try to but Nathan is too stubborn to even hear him out. At one point in the novel Alex even confesses but Nathan turns him down(kind of) because apparently he couldn't trust Alex anymore because Alex didnt trust HIM enough back then to tell him about what happened ??? Aaaand when this dumbass finally learns about the truth during their highschool reunion, its too late. Alex gets hurt badly but he does recover! Nathan is clearly just as desperate for Alex but he keeps deluding himself into thinking he's not and so he makes the whole plot one big emotional rollercoaster
when will they even talk ?? can someone spoil me please ? I'd lose my shit if this holds on for too long and becomes the whole plot
