Our Unbreakable Bond

Prologue

2025

It started in middle school we were 14. Eighth grade. He was in my English and Choir classes. The boy with the bright red hair. I liked him I knew I did, but all I am is a friend. We talked often, he sat behind me in English and Choir. I would turn around and we would talk. Our friends were friends and that kind of made us friends. But I didn't want to be his friends. A good friend of mine Katlyn knew I liked him no one else. She kept trying to get him to admit he liked me. It never worked. Jonathan sat next to him in English and Katlyn next to me. Jonathan was always trying to figure out who I liked, but with him sitting right there I would have never told him and I never did.

"He's out sick today." Kaytln said, as we sat down at the beginning of class. "Jonathan I have to tell you something." She called, I never said she was a good friend. "Mia likes." Pointing to his chair

"I knew it. I'm so telling him when we get back on Monday." And this was my life. People that didn't know how to keep secrets.

It was Monday. I walked into third period and there he stood of course he was talking to Jonathan. They both glanced at me as I entered and I shook my head at Jonathan to keep his mouth shut. But it didn't work.

"Mia likes someone." He said.

"Who?" Who he exclaimed.

"You." And he laughed, those simple word ruined the rest of my middle school days.

For the three months we had left I ignored him, he would try and talk to me. It didn't work. We had one week left. Everyone was telling me that he wanted to talk to me and that I should listen but after Jonathan had told him and he just laughed, i didn't want to listen to a word. I walked into the Choir room to drop off some paper work that morning and he was standing there. A few people we're there his ex, a couple of my friends that all now knew of my crush.

I walked in and he was staring. As my group of he's walked past him he called out.

"Mia please." I kept walking the room had gone silent. "I love you." I stopped dead in my tracks. Turn around slowly. Everyone had said 'what' his ex, all my friends, his friends. I just looked at him for a moment. He slowly walked towards me. "I love you." He looked straight into my eyes. I was beyond mad, and I said something that would probably haunt me for the rest on my days, but I said it.

"I hate you." I was looking stairght at him, I them turned and walked away. Walked right into the bathroom and cried. I knew it was a lie.
