Allison Grace, a young adult who lives in contentment and fondness without barriers, preventing disturbance or issues that may come her way. Although she is existing in wellness now, it has been a ruthless process to gain her victory. Allison has worked hard throughout her entire career so far which is now paying off with her moderation. The beneficial life she lives has taught her to guide others to their form of achievement, especially when seeing one at a low point. Experiences of isolation have improved her awareness to be there for someone because she never had access to resources when her struggles were in place. With all the obstacles that have made an appearance throughout her life she is now living healthy on her own. She is currently working as a dermatologist and making an extreme amount of money to support herself.
While being at her peak, one day she made the decision to take a walk to the store and buy some groceries. In her sight was nothing but stunning scenery; the sky was blue, the leaves on the trees were dramatically green, and the sidewalks were freshly developed. As time passed, a young man sitting on a park bench caught Allison’s eye, this was not just any early aged man he was unwell and in cruel condition. She slowly approached the man with ease and introduced herself, he looked exhausted and lost at words. Allison grabbed the man by the underarm and guided him back to her house where he would be safe and have space to get back on his feet.
After making it back to her house, she lended him a glass of water and offered him food. While he was settling in, Allison wanted answers; she was deeply concerned of his well being and had intentions of helping him. He properly introduced himself as Jack Romano, his hesitation of revealing his story told Allison a lot about what had gotten him there in the first place. Jack began by saying that his home-life had been intense, he did not have a good relationship with his guardians and spent most of his time away from home due to the fact. The problematic struggles that he dealt with at home affected his academics, throughout his entire high school career, he never had the motivation to complete his work and do the extracurriculars that other students participated in.
During his junior year, Jack concluded that college was an unrealistic goal for him due to his lack of ambition. Coming out of his senior year, all the other high school students had well driven goals meanwhile he was stuck in the mud trying to predict his near future. After he became an adult, he was expected to get a job and start working towards his interests. Jack got a job at a Coffee Shop right down the street from where he lived and started learning responsibilities and making money. The money he was making was not for him, his parents were taking his money to pay their bills and using it to their own satisfaction. It was safe to say that it would not have mattered if he quit his job or not because the money he was earning was not even going to him.
Jack made the final decision to take a step back from work which infuriated his parents, they expected him to continue working for their benefit. Since Jack decided to quit, his parents kicked him out of the house and declared that he can make money for himself to live on his own. Ever since, Jack has been homeless desperately waiting for someone to notice him and take him in. Finally, Allison noticed his comfortless condition and offered him to stay at her place until he improves his health. He has strong appreciation for Allison and her generosity. Allison was appalled by his explanation and let Jack know that he is welcome to stay with her for as long as he would like.
The days went on and Jack and Allison really began to bond, Jack had loved being around her and couldn’t imagine leaving because of her constant acts of kindness. His conditions began to develop with the help of Allison to where he was finally able to get a job. After 2 months passed, Jack confidentially revealed his attraction to Allison by prepping a nice dinner with a set of roses on the dining room table for her to come to after work. As she walked into the house, Jack was standing next to the dining room table with the roses in his hand and questioned if she would like to be his girlfriend. With excitement, she of course said yes. They sat down and ate dinner, speaking about ways that they’ve helped each other and how they would never be where they are without the obstacles that had been thrown at them and their willingness to work through them together. Jack and Allison moved on as one and bettered each other with their acts of kindness.
