It started off during middle school. I met him during our physical education class. We were standing in line . I clearly remember we were standing in line to wait to get our school year pictures taken. He was talking to his friend right in front of me, and I randomly said Hi! He said hi back.

He seemed shy but had a bright smile on his face. We were both wearing yellow shirts. And soon i got to find out a close friend of mine had a crush on him . They started going out & me and him became best friends . Him and my friend started having relationship problems, and they broke up. I 'fessed up to him that I sorta liked him and he told me the same . But we said we'd stay as best friends.

Him and my friend went out again for a few days, and they broke up. Two of my other friends were trying to hook me up with him but I didn't want to because a close friend of mine had been with him. Finally, the day came where we got together & I lost my close friend. We stopped talking of course and acted like two strangers. Within two months, we solved things and she respected the fact me and him liked one another.

Time flew by; he met my parents, I met his . We'd be inseparable. We'd have the best time together. Always texting or talking on the phone. He'd give me piggy-back rides and we'd play fight. When i would cry , he would always lend me his shoulders. We weren't only a couple, but best friends too.

The summer came & to my surprise, he cheated on me with the girl who was once my close friend: his ex. We broke up . But I fell for his words & got back with him. Starting school again, to my surprise things changed. I let him go. I soon found out he had cheated on me three times total. And I had only found out once. It was terrible.

For a whole yeat we kept messing around, & six months after the break up we got together again. But he ended up letting me go. He was into his partying & weed and alcohol. He changed. Summer came again & I avoided him. Even when he was trying to get back again. Regretting he had lost me. I promised myself I'd never give him another chance. He had hurt me too much. Now, he has a gf . & I still don't have a bf. We act like two complete strangers.

I know i haven't fully let go even after these few years. I miss him. He taught me how to be strong. He made me the happiest girl at one point, but he was a fairy tale. He wasn't my happily ever after....
