MOMENTS OF CLARITY
Moments series #2
JB Heller
Releasing June 22, 2017
Blessed.
That was
me.
In every
way that mattered anyway. I had a close, loving relationship with my parents,
my older brother was my hero, and with graduation right around the corner, I
was on the verge of turning my love of photography into a career.
Then there
was Carter, surprisingly he turned out to be the yin to my yang. Where I was
alternative, slightly nerdy and a whole lot awkward, Carter was smooth, popular
and confidant. Yet somehow, we fit. Or so I thought.
With the
events of one night, the clarity with which I once saw my life vanished.
Leaving me completely unprepared for the reality I would now have to face and
the choices that accompanied it.
A knock on
my doorframe startles me, I gently place the camera back in its spot on my
shelf that houses four other vintage folding cameras from different era’s.
Once it’s
safely returned I turn to see who’s at my door, Carter, of course.
The corner
of his mouth ticks up in a small smile, “Lunch is in the kitchen, and I think I
just saw your brother pull up out front.”
The calm
that had washed over me while I cleaned my camera disappears and my shoulders
stiffen, I remind myself why I’m doing this and relax a little.
“You don’t
have to do this you know,” Carter says softly.
I give him
a half-hearted smile, “I know I don’t have to, but I need to. I need to know
Carter.”
He closes
his eyes and nods, “Okay, let’s do this then,” he says with an outstretched
hand.
Taking it,
he gives my fingers a little squeeze, then it’s show time.
