A young man in a small Midwestern town struggles to care for his mentally-disabled younger brother and morbidly obese mother while attempting to pursue his own happiness. note; this is my first story of this movie, so please don't expect it to be movie accurate! The first bits are heavily based from the book. There will be some grammar mistakes, so please don't mind them. THIS IS NOT A GILBERT X ARNIE STORY!! i do not ship this and will NEVER ship it. There may be some suggestive bits (not of arnie), but there will most likely be no smut, so please do not ask. feel free to suggest ideas for upcoming chapters.
