Letting Go — A.T. Brennan

JayLife was going exactly how I wanted it to. I was doing well in school, hanging out with my brothers and partying like it was going out of style. I didn't need or want anything else. Then I met Paige and suddenly my life didn't seem so complete. She's cute, nerdy and a little neurotic, and I can't stay away from her. I can tell she has her secrets and is reluctant to fully open up, but I couldn't care less. Paige is the first girl to make me want to be a better man, and I'm not about to let her go. PaigeI like things organized and predictable, and I don't like surprises. My life has been plotted out for me and I'm doing everything I can to keep my head above water as I struggle to live up to everyone's expectations. Then Jay happened. He's unlike anyone I've ever met, and he's the first person in years who sees me for who I really am. There are things in my past I know will scare him away, but I can't let go of the hope that he could be the man to show me what unconditional love feels like.
