Safe and Sound: The Short Memoir
Safe and Sound: The Short Memoir written by Elliot Parker. I've always written stories and music about my personal life. It was the only thing that would heal my scars and wounds. However, there was always a hidden layer of truth that I tried to shield from everyone in order to protect myself. Everything I write tends to be about my thoughts, feelings and emotions but in a way that I could keep them private. This essentially led me to bottle it all up and throw it far into the water. And then I was pulled underwater where I was going to have to face every part of my brain and heart in order to swim through the storm I became trapped in. This story was written about my life in ways I've never explored with writing. It was excruciating to look at my deepest insecurities, the feelings for a boy who never loved me back, and the most traumatic events I've had to experience, in the eyes. Writing a memoir that was originally for an assignment, turned into something more for me. It allowed me to revisit the past and try to explain them in my words, instead of rumors being spread faster than a forest fire. Sometimes you don't know you're hurting until you're being forced to sit in a locked room with your past. Realizing just how much pain and suffering I am still going through was tough, but it opened my eyes and allowed me to release the words I've been holding hostage for months. These four chapters were written about moments in my life that I've never shared with anyone before. I'm ready to tell my story. CHAPTERS: Chapter 1: Red Autumn Chapter 2: Heartbreak Boy Chapter 3: The Void Chapter 4: Eyes OpenComplete

His college scholarship is going to take him to the big leagues and he isn't afraid to break hearts along the way. But behind closed doors he hides a secret. A dark one. He can cover up most of the bruises. His father usually aims for the torso anyway, but his spirit is nearly broken and he's willing to end it all just to keep his secret. He stands on the roof of his dorm; toes hanging over the edge, tears in his eyes. All it would take is a simple fall. "Don't do it." Comes a meager voice from behind him. Nathan Lewis is the token nerd. He's an outcast, beyond smart and totally socially awkward. When the Quarterback found out this year that Nathan had a crush on him, he hadn't let off; picking on Nathan for being gay and crushing on a guy that he could never have. "Don't do it." Nate said again to Tommy. With that phrase, something changes within Tommy and a story begins: a story of youthful self discovery and love; tutoring becomes a friendship which grows into an unbreakable bond that will be tested. Can Tommy accept his newfound self? He knows his father won't. Can he push forward, or will he end it all? In this telling of the classic Jock/Nerd fantasy, bonds of love will be formed, hearts will be broken, and tragedy will change the reader forever.Complete
