Breathing in Smoke

My name is Parker Drudance. A simple name with four syllables and a slight spin. I moved around a lot, and I read a lot of books to make up for the fact that I could never seem to keep friends. But when I do meet people, I tend to tell them everything.
So,I've always been able to appreciate a good listening ear, and a thirst for a good story.
And please, before you read this I want you to remember something two things;
First: Everything in the world is Cliché.
Second: I trust you. More than I trust Anyone.
Please keep an open mind.

It has come to my attention over the years that all great stories, stories of love and tragedy alike, all start off in pretty much the same manner. Boy meets girl, girl falls in love, boy breaks her heart, and in the end there’s some sort of a romantic ending, whether it be happy or sad. There’s honestly nothing I’d rather be less than cliché, but there’s no other way to tell my story. The story that is so bizare it sounds, even to me-the one who lived it, like a story book. Its the story of how I lived, lost, learned, and loved. How I began to believe, and how i learned who I was. It's a story of coming of age in a world of out casts that made me a queen. It's a story of how my life really began.
And, as cliche as this is;
It all started when I met Keagan Riese.
