Jared is 18, he’s the son of the pastor in a small town in Arkansas. He’s very close with his very religious parents. He’s a sweetheart, a genuinely nice person. He is also gay which is terrifying and makes his insides feel like they’re conflicting. A few months prior to meeting Xavier he was raped by a friend of his or someone he thought was his friend named Henry. He meets Xavier an atheist, art major and is drawn to him and his views on religion and the world. He just wish Xavier was a woman.
