Life isn't perfect. We struggle with fitting in and accepting who we are. Life also throws us curveballs and sometimes those balls wreck us.
This is our story. Two hearts. Two stories. One bond that defines perfect.
But like I said life throws a curveball and now I'm left with a shattered heart.
Life can be perfect or imperfect. It's up to you to find those pieces and restore what was lost. I know I did. It was difficult but in the end it was perfect. Just like August. The Perfect August.

"Its weird how two people can go from being strangers to best friends to enemies so quick. I mean its heartbreaking how easy it is to just move on. Isn't it?" "Yeah. But you missed something."

Volcano Meets Tonardo (gxg)
We are told that if it's not perfect it's not enough. We are called insane for breaking every rule. We are told that we should change and only then we'll be happy. We are convinced that there is no going back and hell is our final destination. They have a blueprint of how our lives will end and never a solution to better the plan. I say there is a way out every mess, an alley to heaven. I didn't have to be perfect, I just had to accept defeat and let her lead. She thought I was perfect when everybody else didn't. I fell in love with a soul like mine. My Tonardo... ______________________________________ This is not some holy holy book, It's not rated PG nor Family friendly.

Nathaniel Jean's Senior Year
At first glance, nobody would be able to tell that Nathaniel Jean had a problem. Or second glance, or third, or fourth. After all, he had everything. He was a captain of his school's soccer team and one of the top players in the state. He had a big house and money to spend. He had family, he had friends, he had fun, he had faith. He never meant for it to happen. He never wanted to look at another man in the way he should have been looking at a woman. The idea had disgusted him for most of his life - living in a heavily Catholic town with heavily Catholic parents, homophobia was the only response he knew. That didn't change when he first realized that he didn't like girls. No, Nathaniel Jean was still homophobic. He hated the idea of a man sleeping with another man. He was raised on the notion that all gays went to hell, and he believed it. He despised them, and so he despised himself. Nathaniel Jean was more fortunate than most, because help did arrive for him. Help by the name of Lucas Morgan, they boy he'd always known but never known. The boy with big dreams and bigger talent. The boy that changed Nathaniel's life over the course of their thirty-six week long senior year.Complete
Awkward
- a featured story on wattpad @sport - a featured story on wattpad @generalfiction School has an odd way of making you hate it yet love the people you meet. I hate both. I've been the new boy at my school for nearly five months. Since my family's life of poverty was flipped on its head I've seen my entire world open up; it's like I was living in a cave. This time last year, I was 'too poor to have a Valentine'. This time this year, I just don't have the guts. Seriously, "Valentine's Day is the root of human anxiety." ~ Albert Einstein. (Don't look it up. I'm telling you what 'the government' doesn't want you to know.) But school has an odd way of giving you the perfect friends, a perfect love life and perfectly supporting your dreams to be a pro football player like your older brother. That, or it crushes you. It just crushes you. Your dreams? Crushed. Your friends? Meh. Your love life? Nonexistent (but as soon as it exists, CRUSHED). But we don't know what will happen for sure, right? I'm Roman Turner, but you can call me "the cool man". Gosh, I know I'll cringe at this later. ----------- - a featured story on wattpad @sport - a romance winner at the multi awards - a story told through two points of view • Romance/Sport/Slice of Life | Roman • Prose/Mystery/Psychological | Danielle • BOOK ONE: LIVING. • (EST.) 3390 words/part. • Cover artist - Sage Hieran.
