"You'll
- never
- amount
- to
- anything."
I'm
- tired
- of
- hearing
- my
- grandmother's
- voice
- in
- my
- head.
- I'm
- ready
- to
- put
- her
- to
- rest,
- where
- she
- belongs.
- She
- might
- have
- raised
- me
- after
- my
- father
- went
- to
- work
- on
- the
- oil
- rigs
- and
- left
- me
- behind,
- but
- she
- sure
- never
- loved
- me.
- I'm
- ready
- to
- prove
- her
- wrong.
I
- might
- be
- chubby,
- dyslexic,
- and
- gay,
- but
- I
- know
- I'm
- ready
- to
- leave
- all
- the
- negativity
- of
- the
- past
- behind.
- I'm
- going
- to
- get
- my
- nursing
- degree
- and
- then
- build
- a
- family
- of
- my
- own.
- I'm
- ignoring
- my
- dead
- grandmother's
- voice
- and
- forcing
- my
- feet
- to
- go
- into
- the
- Mylos
- Scholarship
- Lottery
- building
- to
- grab
- my
- piece
- of
- the
- pie.Jolar
When
- I
- get
- the
- call
- that
- my
- match
- has
- been
- found,
- I'm
- excited—my
- adopted
- son,
- Neal,
- not
- so
- much.
"What
- if
- he
- hates
- me?"
- he
- asks
- me,
- his
- six-year-old
- face
- filled
- with
- anxiety.
I
- know
- this
- is
- impossible.
- My
- mate
- could
- only
- be
- a
- perfect
- match
- if
- he
- were
- also
- perfect
- for
- the
- young
- that
- would
- be
- ours.
- But
- Neal
- is
- afraid,
- having
- been
- told
- by
- his
- last
- terrible
- excuse
- of
- a
- parent
- that
- he
- was
- unlovable.
"You
- know
- I
- love
- you
- to
- the
- ends
- of
- the
- universe
- and
- beyond,
- right?"
- I
- ask
- Neal.
"But
- you're
- Mylos
- and
- maybe
- only
- Mylos
- like
- me."
My
- heart
- breaks,
- knowing
- there
- is
- nothing
- for
- it.
- We
- must
- go
- down
- to
- the
- surface
- and
- meet
- my
- mate
- together.
- Today
- is
- the
- day
- our
- family
- grows.
- Love
- must
- win.
- Correction–love
- will win.
