And one sisterhood strong enough to survive it all. **Pilar Cross** has built the life she always dreamed about. At twenty-five, she's the proud owner of **Sugar & Sass**, a luxury bakery boutique in the heart of Downtown Houston. She's ambitious, independent, and determined to take her business to the next level.

San Antonio. 2010. A Five-Year Relationship comes to a SCREECHING HALT in an elevator after The Company St. Patrick's Day Party. Tears rolling down her face, "It's not you. It's me. It really is. I. You. You're a wonderful, outstanding man-- friend. Friend. Male Friend, Anthony. But if you were. I don't know. A 'girl' friend and not a 'boy' friend, you may actually understand." It was then, Anthony -- Ladies' Man, Man's Man, Man About Town -- realizes he has to change. But if he plans on doing what he plans to do, no hearts better get broken by the end of this month. IT's NOT YOU... IT's ME is a male-lead, early 21st Century, Rom-Com period piece. Heavily inspired by the Shakespearean Comedies and Petrarchan Love Sonnets.

Arch Manning knows the eyes of the world are on him. Football is more than a game, it's his birthright. He has a family tradition to uphold, a team to lead, a national championship, and maybe even a Heisman Trophy, to win. He's spent two excruciating years paying his dues, biding his time. He's finally QB1 of the Texas Longhorns, the preseason number one team in the country. He's gotten there by staying focused, putting in work and keeping his relationships casual. Vivian Murphy didn't even really want to attend the University of Texas, but over the last two years, Austin has become home. She left trauma and tragedy behind in North Carolina. She's focused on a double major and tennis, in that order. And she prefers to keep her past quiet. But she's about to meet someone who will make that impossible. So, yeah, it's been a minute since I wrote anything. Life has calmed down (a little), some voices have returned and I might have actually found a couple of guys who demand as much attention as Grayson. Usual disclaimers, it's fiction, I know absolutely nothing and no one, there will be swearing, non-explicit sex and some dark topics. And my taste in music hasn't necessarily improved.

He's your dads best friend, and your best friends dad. Not an easy situation, but you can't keep yourself from making up fake scenarios and neither your hands between your legs every night when you see him on his bedroom by himself, you're such a mess by the time he's already asleep. He's seen as a shy reserved man, in a broad shoulders and wide back body, and of course, always working on cars and repairing shit nobody knows why. "Millers reparations", that's his business, his partner's his brother Tommy, he's definitely a peoples person the total opposite from him, whenever you see your dad and them chatting while barbecues gatherings, you see how silent he is, you've always thought he's really shy, but turns out he isn't... Oh Joel Miller, You'll take a huge part in my summer. (Just wanna clear a bunch of things: I'm not an english person, so i'm so sorry if my writing is not sublime, (I'll try my best though) and this story is not based in an apocalyptical scenario, it only includes joel miller as the character, it will not follow the original "The last of us" plot.) PD: please, comment as much as y'all can, need your opinions!!
