They weren't a tragedy of missed timing; they were a masterpiece in the making. What starts as a spark in a crowded high school stadium becomes the echo that follows Spencer James and Olivia Baker through every season of their lives. From the adrenaline of Friday night lights to the quiet gravity of adulthood, they spend years perfecting the art of being everything to each other-except what they need to be. He is built for the spotlight, carrying the weight of a world that demands he never break. She is a canvas of curiosity and color, flowing like water-touching everything, but held by nothing. Yet, in the noise of their changing worlds, she is the dreamer who reminds him there is life beyond the field, and he is the anchor who gives her a home to return to. After years of "almosts," the clock is finally running out on the distance. They realize they were never meant to be each other's firsts; they were learning how to be whole on their own so they can stop being you and me. Until, at last, it was finally us. ************************************************************************************************* Disclaimer: This is a work of fan fiction based on the television series All American.
