Perfectly Imperfect

3 months. 3 months to finish summer 3 months to cut off all ties to people 3 months to say goodbye 3 months to live. Hope has been battling Cystic Fibrosis for 8 years now and clearly its getting worse. The low whispers, the pitiful glances she has been getting the last two years, so its no surprise when her results turn up terminal. 3 months is the most the doctor says she will live in her condition. Most people would have burst into tears and taken the last months to say goodbye and embrace who they are. Just two problems. Hope has no more tears to shed and she doesn't even know who she is anymore. A loner all her life she has no friends, no connections, just her books. So she plans on spending her final days doing just that, reading. Her mother having left their family, and her father shutting her out in her time of need, she has no one left. Eli won't let her leave without seeing the world through his eyes. With his endless supply of metaphors and different perspectives on life, he just might be the one to help her find the one thing she has been searching for her entire life. The one thing she never had. Hope.
