Anguish by Lillie Jayne

Theo and Finn have a tight bond nothing can sever. Or so they’d always hoped…

THEO:
I love my job, my friends, the partying. But at heart, my best friend, Finn, is my entire world. We’ve grown up together and barely spent a day apart. I need him beside me…and I want him with a hunger that’s eating me alive.
Nothing can ever happen though, even if it wasn’t for my oppressive, homophobic dick of a father. I know my duty: I have my whole future mapped out for me. My father mustn’t know I’m in love with my best friend.
And so, neither must Finn.

FINN:
I have a secret. I’ve been in love with my best friend, Theo, since we were kids. But, caught between Theo’s bully of a father and my fear of breaking our precious friendship, I’ve suffered in silence while working on becoming a great musician. I’ve always known the time will come when Theo returns home to take over his father’s estate, and I’ll be left behind.
Doesn’t mean I can bear it.
After a night of recklessness that threatened to destroy my whole life, I’ve had to reconsider everything. I now need Theo more than ever: yet he has his own struggles. Do I confess my feelings or let him leave, never knowing the truth?
We formed a pact when we were just kids…to be together, always. But can that survive our adult lives?
