To Save A Life

Summary: Ever since Jake Taylor was a kid, he was the type of guy you couldn't help but like. For Jake, life is good. He has friends, fame, a basketball scholarship, a future and the hottest girl in the school. Not much to get down about, right? Enter Roger Dawson. He's Jake's childhood best friend before Jake's popularity goes into high gear. Miserable and mad over being on the outside of Jake's, or anybody's inner circle, he's tired of being pushed aside by everyone. He walks onto campus with a gun in his pocket and pain in his heart, and makes a tragic move. Jake is devastated at what Roger has done. And something in him changes. In seeking answers in his own life, one question plagues him the most... Could I have saved him? He is now deeply compelled to reach out to the students who are on the fringe of acceptability by the school's upper crust. But he finds reaching out to the undesirable threatens his world. He may lose his own friends, his scholarship, his dreams and even his reputation to do it.
