Some things are too coincidental to ignore. This story is based on one such event. I owned one Matt Nathanson album, At the Point. It is one of the very few live albums I own and that is because he is wicked funny and charming on the album. From the photo on the front he has always been a boy in my mind who wore tan corduroys and cardigans. He was an amalgam of all the boys I knew in fifth grade wearing the same type of horizontal striped shirt that all boys my age wore in third through fifth grade; the same one that Ernie of Sesame Street wears. I was at work one day doing a very repetitive task and turned on theriverboston.com to listen to some music to move the task along. On the side bar was a video of Matt Nathanson performing live at the Newburyport Riverfront Festival. I was shocked to see him with dark, wavy hair and a nose ring. He was a bad boy not a little boy in tan corduroys. The videos ran back to back for three songs and I looped them again. I learned that he is from MA just like me, in fact the town right next to the one I lived in til I was 7. I couldn't shake the images from the video or the fact that the venue was in one of my favorite towns and if I still lived in New England I would have been there and seen him live then headed to the Grog with my friends after the show. This new infatuation caused me to look for his latest album. I found that Target had an extended one so instead of digital I ordered it from Target and when it arrived the song, Kinks Shirt, was about being infatuated with someone and the lovely stories your imagination creates. This is the lovely story my brain had worked up in the few days this all took to transpire. I will throw in song lyrics along the way and hopefully some Matt Nathanson fans will join in and point them out. If you don't know who he is check him out. He is great, especially live. Enjoy!

Before I knew it my shirt was torn away from my torso and tossed on the floor, Charlie's doing the same. Our kiss intensified and I felt him groan against my lips. I swear to god, this boy is making out with me like his life depends on it! And that's when reality punched me in the gut... the words 'this boy' kept running through my head over and over again until it got through the thick fog of vodlka and whatever else was in those stupid drinks. I, Ace Loughty, was kissing a guy. A fucking guy. A fucking straight guy named Charlie Simmons who of course had to be one of the most popular dickheads in Meadow Ridge High. I am so unbelievably fucked. ----- 17 year old Ace Loughty was never one longing to be in the spotlight. In fact, he craved the exact opposite: being left alone. When Ace was 13, the tragic death of his younger sister Eleanor caused him to rapidly gain popularity and pitiful looks. He hated the attention. All of a sudden everyone wanted to be friends with the dead girls brother, they'd promise Ace he would never be alone that they would always be there for him, which he of course knew was untrue, they're all just hungry for attention. Sometime later the school moved onto other drama and gossip, things started to die down and people finally left Ace alone. He moved on with his life, convincing himself he was over Eleanor's death and as quick as the whole thing started, he returned to being lonely, weird, quiet nobody Ace. Just how he liked it. That is until 4 years later when he found himself sprawled out on a bed. With Charlie Simmons hovering over him. Charlie Simmons who was kissing Ace like he would die if he ever dared to stop. Which was all too true. Without kissing Ace, Charlie was as good as dead. *WARNING*: This story will contain themes of severe depression, suicide, abuse and somewhat graphic depiction of self harm. If any of these things may trigger you please rethink reading this story!! Started: January 21st 2020
