College is finally over, and I get to go on a road trip for one month before I enter the real world. Yet, I never expected to see Everest signed up, and more than that, he requested me to be his partner for the trip.
I've known Everest since we were thirteen, but he doesn't remember it. That's okay. I suspect the night we met wasn't a good one for him, and maybe it's best he doesn't remember.
But now we are scouring across the east side of the U.S., and I'm starting to wonder if everything I did for Everest was in the name of something else. Something more meaningful. Something I should have understood sooner.
Damn my brain. It takes me far too long to understand the proper context and even longer to grasp the meaning of my feelings.
I might be in love with him.
Oh, and I was diagnosed with autism a year ago, and I never told anyone. So, there is that.
EVEREST PIERCE:
I love him.
I love Landon Luna without conditions. Without expectations. Without the need for more. And I love him with my entire heart.
I wasn't the nicest person in high school. Not to anyone except the ball of bubbly sunshine. The one who waved at me every single day. But I was a goner the moment he said hello to me in my Junior year of high school when he was partnered with me on a project.
Now, I need to figure out how to keep my feelings on lockdown through this trip.
Because I find myself wanting.
I want him, and I don't know that I am worthy enough to have him.
