Saving Trevor
For once, in the world of books, it's not the damsel in distress- it's the damoiseau in distress. Thankfully, this one has his knight in shining armor waiting for him to come around. ••• "So, I have a proposal," Amelia announces. We sit on the tree stump, facing each other. The sun is in the middle of setting so there's a nice glow that casts on us. Amelia's green eyes are illuminated by the sun, and her skin practically glistens in the light making an emphasis on how perfect her skin actually is. The breeze whipping past makes me notice her hair is down and pin straight. She smiles expectantly at me and I snap out of the trance I'm caught in by her natural beauty. "Right," I clear my throat. "What's your proposal?" "We hang out every day for the next two weeks. Don't worry, no sleep overs. A few days we'll meet at my place, others we'll meet at yours. You can meet my friends, I'll meet yours, and we'll get to know each other. At some point you'll either find yourself and start to accept me, or you'll still feel completely lost in yourself and you can reject me."Complete

I fall onto my knees and start shaking. I sit up straight in my bed. Meeting mom's eyes in the picture on my nightstand. "Fuck." I whisper, wiping away the tears under my eyes.
