Oliver

Ever since his family moved in across the street from mine, Gareth Galloway has been my best friend. We used to believe we would play in the NHL together one day. He knows my secrets better than anyone else.

Or, at least that’s how it was until an injury ripped me from his side on the ice in high school.

We’ve managed to salvage our shared dream in what ways we could. He’s a professional hockey player for the San Diego Starbirds, and I’m a member of his team’s marketing department, selling his story to hungry and eager hockey fans online. Some would say we’ve made it, but for me, there’s still something missing before I can call this happily ever after.

I want Gareth to be my forever, but the last thing I want is to risk rejection and ruin what remains of our friendship. Some days it already feels as if we’re drifting apart. I can’t lose him.

Gareth

I’ve been in love with my best friend Oliver Owen for years, but I’m notoriously shy. I play one of the world’s roughest sports, but I can’t manage to put my feelings into cohesive words.

One desperate read through a self-help book later, I’ve realized I can’t keep harboring this secret any longer. I need to find a way to tell Oliver how I feel or risk losing him forever to some other guy who’s capable of saying the words he’s longing to hear.

I just hope I’m not too late.
