A True Love Story

HANNAH

Hello my name is Hannah. I'm a 16 year old girl who lives in Harrington town. I go to Harrington high i'm a Junior there. But that's not the point of this story i met the love of my life when i was only six years old. Me and my family went to the local water park during the Summer.  While i was there i saw a boy go down a huge water slide. But at the same time this other boy went down the small little water slide he bumped right into me. I fell down and hit my arm on the ground it really hurt. But he ran up to me and said "Hey hey are you ok? i'm sorry i didn't see you". I said "Oh it's ok" he asked what my name was and i said that "My name is Hannah what's yours?" and he said "My name is Marco nice to meet you Hannah". I asked Marco if he was new around here and he said "yeah i don't have to many friends here" with a frown on his face. I asked him if he wanted to be friends. And then that was the moment where i met my best friend Marco. I never had any other firends after Marco. Everyone i was friends with always stopped talking to me after a while until i met the love of my life Jake. After we came back from Summer he was the new kid in my class. My teacher told me that Jake was going to be sitting next to me for the rest of the year. I was excited to have another friend. But i don't think he was amused by it. I've always liked Jake but i don't think he ever liked me back. I always showed him i liked him but he never really showed it back. I always talked about him to my best friend Marco. Marco would always say the same thing every time "Oh that's nice" if it's something good but if it was something bad he would tell me that i was worth it and to stop going back to him but i never listened. I never got to do the same to Marco. He never talked to me about meeting any new girls or any girls flirting with him like i did when someone would flirt or talk to me. It was weird because he never did it even in our middle school days and that was when people was flirty all the time. He wasn't bad looking either and me and Marco tell each other everything. It made me suspect maybe he didn't like girls. But he never said he did or didn't so i just never questioned him either way i would still support him. But one day Jake asked me on a date i was shocked. he said to me "Hey wanna hangout tonight we could go to the movies tonight at 6pm and get something to eat after if you want" with a smile on his face. I agreed with a smile on mine as well but it was odd he never asked me on a date or showed that he was into me it made me suspect that he was lying. I didn't tell Marco that me and Jake was going to go on a date i didn't want him to worry about me. So i told my mom instead i told my mom Jake was taking me out on a date and she was so excited for me. She knew i liked Jake for a while now so she was very happy she helped me get ready it was really nice of her it made me really happy she was doing so. But after a little bit of goofing around and getting ready me ready we were finally done. And i looked at myself for the first time and wow i looked beautiful i never felt so pretty in my life before. I finished getting ready and i texted Jake and told him i was almost done getting ready and i would be done in about 10 minutes. But i never got a response back i didn't really mind it at first. I got a ride from my mom and she dropped me off at the movies and said to me "i love you have fun!" and i said "i love you too and i will". I walked in and looked around for Jake but he was no where to be seen. He told me to go there at 6pm and i came a few minutes so i thought to myself "Maybe i came a little to early or he's just coming a little late". I texted him i was there but i got no response. So i waited for him like i have been since i've been young. But i stopped overthinking it and said to myself that he was just coming a few minutes late. But a few minutes turned into several minutes soon it hit 8pm. And now i wished i told Marco it started to rain and i got soaked. My outfit,hair and makeup was ruined. I started crying i felt as maybe it was my fault. But a couple minutes later i felt a tap on my shoulder. Someone said "Hey ma'am are you alright?" and i said "no". I was so upset that i just told him everything. And he listened to me and my problems he reminded me of Marco and it made me miss Marco more. I never talked to any other guys other than Jake and Marco. It was weird talking to someone else i didn't even know what his name was. After a while when i was done he got up and he hugged me and put his jacket around me. He said "Love i'm sorry you need to let go and find someone else who will treat you better" and i said "i know i know but i love him" and he said "i know you love him i know i loved someone else once too but she did something to me and it hurt a lot as well even though i loved her to death i had to move on because that's life but let's change the subject shall we my name is samuel btw i'm new here me and my family just moved to this town". And i said "Thank you i really needed that and hi my name is hannah i've been here my whole life" but then..
