"...it just gets to me sometimes with my parents always yakking about how Karyn is so athletic and successful, while I'm constantly being told that art doesn't count as a talent and I'll probably end up on the streets of Paris if I don't give it up." Beth gave me a comforting pat, "At least you'll be in Paris." She joked trying to lighten the mood. We stopped outside the small dent in the hallway where the two double doors to the auditorium were. "See ya then." I waved at Beth as I walked over to the elevator to the lower annex. "Wait, Taryn." "I stopped, "Yeah?" "As cliche as this sounds, just remember that you and Karyn are individually special." I gave her a bland look, "Uh-huh." Beth was a lovely person and all but even she knew that Karyn was the queen in this stupid high school hierarchy and that left me in the place of the joker. Identical twins? Yeah right." *** We laugh and cry. We make time fly. Best friends are we, my sister and me. Sisters are one of the best gifts from God. And identical sisters just takes the cake.

But will all that change with the help of her two amazing friends and the unexpected aid of a mysterious new saxophone player?

A Boy Named Jasper {Wattpad Featured Novel} by MidnightRose55
36 parts Complete
For with God nothing shall be impossible. (Luke 1:37) ~~~~~ Jasper is a screwed up kid, yet no one cares enough to find out why. Bruises hide his arms and alcohol stains the walls of his house, but he pushes forward because it's the only thing left for him to do. His days are spent in and out of the school psychologist's office, while his nights are spent in fear of his father. His guitar and the secluded spot by the train tracks where he likes to play are the only saving graces in the hell that is his life. No one disrupted this normal routine until Callie came. Callie is far from screwed up; she doesn't have family issues and doesn't understand the first thing about Jasper's world. Her house is filled with answered prayers and smiles of people who love each other. Her arms are clear and her head is full of optimism that Jasper doesn't buy for a second. She never second guessed her sunny disposition on life until she stumbled upon a boy and his guitar down by the train tracks. Callie and Jasper weren't supposed to cross paths. She wasn't supposed to care and he wasn't supposed to let her get under his skin, but then again opposites weren't supposed to attract either. Callie saw the good in him where most people thought there was none ; she was captivated by Jasper because he made her question everything she knew about the world. She thought it would be easy to teach him that there was still good left in the world, that there was more beyond all the bad he'd become accustomed to. She thought fixing him would be easy, but nothing worthwhile is ever easy and sometimes it takes more than one girl's overly optimistic persistence to pull a person out of the hell they've been living in; sometimes it takes faith and realizing that some things can't be done without it... ~~~~~ -Highest Ranking: #8 in spiritual, 10/25/17 ; #1 in Christianity, 2019 -Wattpad Featured Novel: 10/19/17

I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you.
