Juniper is a casual 17 y/o teen. She goes to church every sunday, volunteers at the YMCA, all that jazz. She has platinum-silverish, shoulder length hair and.. she doesn't really agree with a few things.
She believes marriage is between a cisgender man and woman, and that lgbt+ people are sorta gross. However, she doesn't really spread hate against said lgbt+ people. She believes it's a waste of time. She usually just avoids them, and if she comes across one, chances are she'll just walk away.
Then we have Jamie. Jamie is an art student with white, fluffy hair, glasses, freckles and pale skin. She is often found wearing overalls or striped shirts, but she also wears a band shirt here and there and loves mid-90s to mid-2000s music and classic rock. A random meal encounter intertwines this story's beginning.
(note: the story is read in POVs and hence, the name of the perspective is listed below the chapter number.)
Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can.
*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
