My name is Joel Beans; yes I know that is a weird last name, but it is what it is. I am here to tell you about my life. Some of you may have heard the big part of it, which is my husband Etho dying in a car crash only four days after our wedding. But there's a lot more to it." I started to pace around the stage a bit, holding the microphone firmly in my right hand. "There's a lot more to how we met and how our lives were. About my past, about his past...about our past. It's not all happy, and believe me when I tell you that there are some things I wish never happened, but as I said before...it is what it is." I sighed and looked down before whispering in a soft voice, "And there's nothing you can do to change that." ~•~ This story, as said above, is a sequel to The Night That Changed My Life and talks about how Joel and Etho met. This isn't an incredibly happy story. There's going to be a lot of angst, and some fluff (but not much) If you would prefer to steer away from angsty hell, I understand and hope to see you in my other stories. But if you wish to stick around, I hope you enjoy the ride :) (Cover art is not mine). This work belongs to me, @Seth189. I reserve the rights to this work and please do not repost it. It takes me a long time to come up with this stuff and it would be better to write your own work!!
