prologue

hey, this is a story i hate and telling it might make me break but i'll tell it anyway.

I was 18 years old, fresh out of highschool. Wanting to get away from my home town and actually make something of myself. I was extremely excited to get out into this new world of freedom and adulthood.

He was 20 and absolutely perfect in my eyes. I was young and naive but he made me feel mature and worthy. He was an all star track runner. A speed demon on the track, but I soon came to realize he was an even faster liar.

She was merely an acquaintance. I knew her name, and that she was the sweetest girl ever (according to everyone on campus). And of course I knew that she knew him, but other than that, she was simply just another face.

We met and clicked instantly. He charmed me. His witty responses, pure athleticism, intelligence, and his way of making my world feel calm seemed to cast quite a strong spell over me.

For two years he was my everything, and I was his.

When I was stressed with school he would do things like give me massages, or even help me with my work. When I was upset he would make me laugh, or force me to do stupid things with him that would, somehow, always help me feel better. If I was hurt, in danger, or just felt uncomfortable, he would drop everything and be the first one to come running.

But now as I sit back and reminisce, I wonder. Did he do the same for her?
