Him.
Myspace, only a website? Not for me. Little did I know that as soon as I clicked “add to friends”, my life would change forever.
It was July in the summer of 07, I being 13 years old, he being 15. During one night of summer boredness, I came across one of my friend’s friends. He was cute, so obviously I added him. We started talking, and before I knew it we were on each other’s top friends. A few weeks passed, and finally we decided it was time to meet. I remember everything. July 16, 2:00pm. I sat at Nick Charlaps by myself, trembling. He and his father pulled up, and as soon as he got out of the car I knew I could love him. “Anyone can catch your eye, but it takes someone special to catch your heart” was the quote I hoped to live on.
That day was amazing. I felt like I was on top of the world every moment we were together. He was everything I wanted. “I didn’t care what anyone said, or thought.” Another week passed, and it finally happened. “Alexis, will you go out with me?” Something every teenager girl wants to hear. I can’t even begin to describe how happy I felt. If only I knew how much he was going to affect me.
The whole relationship was amazing, minus my immaturity. Eventually, the summer ended, and so did we. 8th grade was on its way, and I wasn’t going to be unavailable to all these new boys. I was so wrong.
Now of course, I had to go back. Someone who made me feel that good couldn’t just get thrown out of my life. Luckily, he forgave me and we were “something” again. It was nice. But of course, again only lasted for a little while. That was the WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. For the rest of 8th grade, I was a disaster. I never knew what true sadness felt like until those cold months. I even lost friends because of my change in behavior. I stooped so low, I don’t even want to think back about the things I did and thought. Begging and pleading for another chance, saying I could change. Nearly 3 months passed of depression. Then, I got one more chance. He wasn’t too thrilled, but he was so understanding that I needed him. This was the best relationship we had. It was so trusting, fun, exciting, and so much more I can’t describe it. It was love. Time passed, and things got difficult. We were so different, and it was so exciting at first, but sadly after a while it was just difficult. This was the final breakup, and the hardest. We both said things we didn’t mean. Well, maybe he did mean those. I didn’t mean mine however.
Now its 9th grade, and everything is back to normal. I’m happy again. But I’m very afraid. I’m afraid no matter how hard I keep looking I won’t find another guy like that. No matter how old I am. The feelings were too indescribable.
So don’t tell me I’m too young, or I was too young to experience true love. I KNOW I did. I know that true love never dies, and I know that he will always be in my heart. This was my most powerful experience so far. Maybe it was always be my most powerful experience. Thank you Adam.
... Like after the first paragraph it went into when it actually happened. Instead of the MC just recalling what happened it would be like 'i was sitting at my computer one night when...blah blah blah...i get a friend request....blah blah blah....we became good friends' etc. Put in more dialouge and how she feels at every moment.
