flashback
"michael has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis." the doctor announced to michael and his parents.
"w-what? how?" his mom cried.
end of flashback
and that's how it all started.
michael clifford, seventeen years old. battling his way through amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. he's currently in a wheelchair. not able to move his legs properly.
he was diagnosed when he was nine. the doctor told his family he had about five years to live. this being now his eighth year. he's very lucky and he defiantly takes advantage of it. although getting up every morning, eating, and doing simple, everyday tasks are hard for him, he's doing just alright.
once the clifford family found out about michael's als, everything changed. for the first year, michael continued going to school, he played with his friends, and was a normal, nine year old boy.
after a couple of years, it got worse. he couldn't walk the same. he had to leave school, and get homeschooled. he couldn't go out often. but, it still got worse.
now, here he is. sitting in his wheelchair at the kitchen table, working on school work.
luke
luke hemmings, eighteen, you're everyday high school basketball player.
he was genuinely a sweet boy to be around, although he was very popular.
he had many friends. his closest being calum hood, another boy on the basketball team.
luke had both girls and boys swooning over him day in and day out.
what happens when these two boys cross paths?
well, as the saying goes ... opposites attract, right?
i just want to point out that im not a doctor. during this story, there may be false information stated, and im sorry about that. im doing my research and hopefully i will not disappoint.
happy reading
