Don't Leave Me Alone

Alvin is coming home to bury his family; his entire family. His mom, dad and twin sisters who were in a fatal car accident. The military didn't think he was stable enough to come back but really, he was just worried how he'd get through the coming days. The first one's at his empty family home especially.

Carter is a school teacher going to the funeral of a very well respected family of his community. Not only does he see his crush from high-school, Alvin, but he also see's him all alone and struggling to say goodbye to the only people he had left. Carter doesn't see the fun-loving, carefree teen he crushed on; he's long gone. The grieving, lost man sitting in the front row is in his place.

What will happen when Carter steps in to help this grieving man?
What will Alvin do when his eyes finally open and see's Carter?
Is leaning on someone in times of trouble the best way to start a relationship or do they realize it's the best foundation for love?
