TW: Gore, censored gay slurs, suicide, abuse
In the heart of Alabama, young Cassandra "Cassie" Thompson falls in love with the bubbly, beautiful, and assumed straight, preacher's daughter, Mila Johnson. Being the only openly gay person in her high school, Cassie dreads going, but goes so she can get her degree, and to pine over her beautiful crush. What Cassie doesn't know is that Mila has a secret that no one knows.... if only she did, it'd be a fantastic love story for the world to know.
This is written by me, Mrcow72. My username is dumb hahahaha I made this account in like 7th grade, but haven't used it until now. This will be continued if I get enough positive feedback, but for right now I will just be posting the first chapter. Hope you all enjoy!
PLEASE DO NOT COPY MY STORY THIS MEANS THE WORLD TO ME.
When Karlie's estranged father suffers a heart attack, she reluctantly returns to her hometown in Pennsylvania, only to find herself confronting the ghosts of her past. Upon her return, she finds herself face-to-face with her super-secret-I'll-kill-you-if-you-tell-anyone high school crush.
What's even more jarring, is the fact that she had just been admiring the woman checking his vitals before she realizes she already knows her. As Kaia Thomas stares back at her, all the feelings she had for her high school best friend come rushing in.
As old feelings resurface and unexpected connections emerge, Karlie must navigate the complexities of her past while grappling with the possibility of a future she never imagined.
