His marriage was falling apart. He did everything he could to fix it. She was a family girl who just wanted to protect her sister. After beating her brother-in-law to death and being sent to prison, she becomes part of a pen-pal program. Little did she know how that would change her life! Can this pen-pal help him through his troubles? The chapters are deliberately short. This is M/F. This is an Adam story!

Pental Pal (noun) - one who exchanges letters to one another as pen pals. But uses the same writing utensil, in this case, a pentel pencil. They never wanted to do this from the start. The thought of writing to a complete stranger. Never seeing whose handwriting is in the letter you're reading. Someone who could be miles, maybe even oceans away from you. And all you get is a picture and a name. To Lizzabeth Teschler, this is extra credit. Even though she doesn't want to do this, she had to. But she's doing this for extra credit so she can still maintain her title of having the highest GPA record. Then she could finish the rest of high school and go off to college. Her whole life is all planned out for her, and she can't do anything to change it. There's a future for her, but not the one she wants. To William Patier, it's cruel torture. He had to do this against his will. This is his last chance before he gets shipped off to military school. Nothing but waking up at dawn, eating disgusting food, and not have a single girl in sight every day. After he graduates from school, who knows where he'll find himself. There's no future for him, not like there's any way to change it. So two complete opposites from different worlds are forced to write each other for a whole year. Add that with some arguments, secrets, two pentel pencils, some cookie butter, a Green Day album, an origami heart, some coffee from Starbucks, two teachers dating, Eddie Anderson, a rival and a cheater. With all that bundled up, who knows what will happen? But at least they don't know each other... right?

"Guilty," the judge said as he slammed his gavel down. Joey's heart started beating faster and faster as he is put back into hand cuffs and is pushed through the door. As he is walking out, he knocks into a gorgeous man who is up next in that court room. Will this be their last encounter or will they see eachother again down the road?

"You know I can treat you better than any man here. But only if you stop acting like a little bitch and come to realize that. I won't be your boyfriend, I won't tell you I love you and that we're going to live happily ever after. This is reality Em, and I've been through some shit that I hope you'll never have to hear of. But god dammit if you need me I'm here. I won't let anyone hurt you no matter what, or I'll kill them and then I'll kiss you until you can't breathe." What if the one person you told all your secrets to was someone you never even met? Emilee's world is flipped upside down as she finds herself doing things she has never done with the last person on earth she thought she'd be meeting. Mr. Horan SEQUEL: I Hope You Feel it Too.
