Love Misunderstood
I only ever met one man I'd call truly noble. He was a man who was misunderstood and worthy of the world, yet everyone saw him differently. That was until I saw his true colours. The more I caught his eye the more he noticed me. We would pass each other, I would always stare a little longer at his back, wondering his story. People used to move out of the hallways if they saw him approaching whereas people would come and talk to me. He kept to himself, I was never alone, he had no friends, I was friends with everyone, I never saw him talk to anyone I spoke to many. we were polar opposites. At least that's what I thought until that day in the library, that is where I will start this story. Everyone is different, I hate the word "different", I much prefer the word unique. Unique is the only way to describe him. This is not just a story about love, it is about helping two souls who act differently but are the same on the inside, it shows the messy parts that aren't shown in movies, the tragedy, and the comedy but most of all the sizzling romance between two broken people who became one. Who is this story about? Caden James. But this is not just his story, It is ours.Complete

Smile. Pretend to belong. And never, EVER raise suspicion. Your family depends on it. Everest Nathan "Nate" Decker is barely hanging on, desperate to hold on to the few fires in his life he can control. Being the teacher's pet, designated driver for secret therapy appointments for his non-binary sibling, and cooking dinner? Not a problem. What is a problem though, is the inexplicable disappearance of his best friend Javi from his life. Javi has been the sole anchor in Nate's overwhelming blur of responsibility, social charades, and drinking his nightmares away and keep convincing those around him that he got it under control - mostly Nate himself. But when a person from his past appears and threatens to take away the ones he holds closest to his heart, he has to stand up and fight like never before. He has to pick up the pieces he scrambled together over years of neglect, and face the patchwork of trauma, hurt and relationships that build him. He knew he was broken. But now he is deciding for the first time to live for himself.

Matthew was nothing but an introverted follower who's only joy came from hanging with his spoiled step-sister. Maya was nothing but a shut-in that was scared of everything and everyone...except her pregnant mother...who would be abandoning her to move to Mexico with her new boyfriend.... Normally their paths would never cross, but with a shared history, school drama, family drama, and adulting on their plates, they're going to need each other to get through it. One thing they didn't need to add to their list of never ending drama is romance, but hey. Life happens. (Updates every Friday)
