In my first completed novel Elemental. The main character is Sebastian, a fourteen year old boy. Black hair and blue eyes and a permanent scowl are his most distinguishing feature.
He pushes people away and prefers to keep to himself. For their safety, is the excuse.
He has powers that can make him dangerous. So isolates himself so he doesn't have to feel the pain of hurting someone he actually cares about.
He is standoffish' short tempered, and hard to talk to at the best of times. Truly he's just lost. But almost no one can see it.
I imagine that he and I have been in exactly the same situation.
Sitting in a chair, in the sun but not really feeling the warm rays. Head in hands. Wondering what we're doing with our lives.
I know how Sebastian will find his way to happiness. I don't know how i will. Whoever is holding the pen to my story. I hope they aren't the kind who likes to torture their protagonist.
