Nadia's POV
At some point in our lives, we all dreamt about the big wedding, having kids that would be running around the yard while you cuddle with your partner on the porch, the perfect home, mowed lawn and the white picket fence.
As cliché as it sounds which it totally is, we all wanted it.
Growing up with two parents who were completely in love with each other doesn't help either and definitely can make that impact on your life.
They were the fairytale couple as we would call it.
They grew up next door to each other, grew up together and became best friends until high-school where they both ended up recognizing their feelings for each other.
They've been together ever since then and they got blessed with me.
I always loved hearing their love story or anything that involved romance. I've always wondered how it was possible to love someone with every part of you and not want anyone else.
Seeing as how my parents were still together and not stray from each other, I wanted to experience that.
The only thing is, I knew that when the time comes for me to actually understand love for myself and what it truly is, it would become my weakness.
It all began as I became a bit boy crazy when I first started dating after I turned fourteen, freshman year. I caught feelings for any guy who showed me a bit of attention which also led to a lot of heartbreak.
My first and second boyfriends each lasted six months but never went further because they expected too much of me and ended up leaving me for another girl.
The last boyfriend I had was Jason, we dated for nine months and we both had the same idea of how a relationship should be. He treated me with so much love and respect until one day, he just didn't. He acted like he hated me and broke my heart by sleeping with someone else.
Thankfully I had my two best friends Alexa and Seungcheol by my side. They had to snap me back to reality that love isn't everything in this world and tried to reassure me that love will find me on its own if I stop looking.
So I eventually gave up on the heartaches, focused on my studies and ignored boys for as long as I could until I met him.
"I am not sure about this guys. I haven't gone to a party since I was 16." I complained as an old lady but I was just a regular 18 year old.
We stood next to Seungcheol' sparks car watching people walk down the street towards the beautifully modern home that stood on the hill.
The music blasted loudly and people were outside on the lawn dancing with red solo cups in their hands having the time of their life and others were making out without a care in the world.
The lifestyle of a highschool party.
I missed the feeling of having fun with them but I felt really anxious. I used to be very outgoing but things have changed. I preferred to read and stay in than going out.
Yet here I am.
Dressed up in a black strapless crop top, a blue acid wash skinny ripped jeans and black vans. My best friend Alexa was wearing a black leather skirt with a white tube top and black chunky boots while Seungcheol wore baggy black jeans, a white T-shirt and black jacket with a pair of white Chuck Taylor's.
"Come Nadia, you've not gone out with us in so long. Let's have some fun." Seungcheol pleads.
I frown. "Why does it have to be here? You know he would be here."
