Emily
I had a good life... a safe life...a quiet life...
I had a place to live and food to eat and a bed to sleep in...
Books to read, paper to draw on and a friend who didn't mind when I wouldn't answer questions...
I didn't realize I also had a hole in my heart and a void in my soul...
Until I met Jack...
He ran headlong into my walls and broke through them, crumbling them to the ground, seeing the real me and choosing to stay by my side.
Jack
I had a great life... a loud life... a different life...
I lived with my parents and five brothers in a new house in a new neighborhood in a new town...
I spent hours on my bike, riding miles at a time...
Or, I did, until a quiet girl sitting on her front porch brought me to a screeching halt...
And I found something and someone I never knew I needed in the first place...
Her name is Emily and she makes me whole.
A boy on his bike, a girl on her porch...
Not all stories start so simply, but the story of Jack and Emily does.
