Its You Or Nothing at all [Boy x Boy]

Atlas

(Atlas's pov)

It was a bright and sunny morning. The sun peaking through the white, fluffy clouds drifted across the sky. The birds keep chirping, and the breeze is cool. I inhaled and felt the freshness in the air. It felt good. 

As I'm a writer I had a fan meet to attend today and a book to work on so I made my way towards the washroom to take a quick shower. I'm very well known as a writer here in America as my three previous books charted number 1. The love I get from my fans is unconditional and I'm so thankful to God. I always had a dream of becoming a writer since I was 15. I always felt myself drawn to the writers and the way they portrayed their characters and the story. I still remember how my parents used to buy me the novels I asked for. I was average in studies, but my interest in writing was my goal since the start. I also remember when I won a writing contest in my school. Those were some fine memories... 

Unfortunately I don't have my parents with me as they died in a car accident when I was a rookie writer. Yup, I started writing officially as a writer when I was 18 but unfortunately when I needed support from the ones I admired and loved more than my whole life were called by God to heaven. I miss them so much and I visit their grave everyday.

I have a friend named Lucas and he's also a writer. We both are famous on the same level and everyone knows we're best friends. I met him at a library and I didn't knew what he looked like. I mean yeah he was famous for his books which I've also purchased and read but I didn't knew him by face as he stays away from media and doesn't like to show himself. that time he was reading my book as my eyes immediately caught him. When we talked then I came to know that HE was Lucas Williams, the author known for his suspense-thriller novels and yeah so this is how we eventually became "best friends". 

Lucas went to his hometown to meet his mother and will be back next week so I'm alone right now. As it was already 9 in the morning, I grabbed my stuffs which includes my laptop, phone, wallet and my car keys. To start my day I always visit my parents's grave first so I exited my house and made my way in the parking lot of the building I live in. There were only few cars parked indicating many have left for work and now its my turn.

I got in my car as I placed my laptop at the back seat and then started the car as I drove off to the cemetery. While I was driving I noticed some couples making out. This is SO normal in America I swear but them being happy in life made me smile. Well, if I talk about myself.. I haven't been in a relationship till now. Yup I HAD crushes but none of them ever became real. I'm openly bisexual as I'm not afraid of people's opinion about me because I'm ME.

As the cemetery was only few miles apart, I noticed some flower shops as I stopped the car, got out and headed in to buy some flowers for my parents grave. They both loved flowers.

As soon as I entered the store, I noticed how the store was clean and well- decorated. The store has a wide collection of exotic flowers, such as roses, lilies, sunflowers, daffodils, daisies, etc. There I met Anna. As soon as she saw me she smiled widely as I smiled back. She knows me well as I sometimes purchase flowers from her shop only. She was really sweet and caring. 

"Good morning Atlas"

"Morning Anna. How are you doing?"

She sighed before replying "Yeah, just working my ass off to live" She said jokingly as I laughed heartily. 

Well joke aside Anna is also alone like me so I know how lonely she feels sometimes. She's also a single child so it can be difficult, but the good part is, she has a girlfriend. Yeah she's also openly bisexual like me so we both get along well.

"So regulars or you want a change this time?" she asked while preparing the bouquet of the purple tulips. 

I thought for a bit. Purple Tulips were liked by both my parents. My father once told me that he proposed mom with purple tulips in front of everyone. He wasn't afraid of people's opinion because... he was in Love. Maybe that's the reason I also don't care about what people say. Its my life and I can live it however I want. I was in my own thoughts when I heard Anna calling my name.
