Sam was always playing football on the field seven years ago. I sat on the bench beside so I could watch him play.

I wasn't even slightly embarrassed that I was hit by a soccer ball. I was shocked that Sam had actually talked to me.

I knew kids always said that we were a couple in secret. I never thought too much of it because well, Sam didn't like me that way. He was always telling me about the people he'd meet when he moved away for college. He was obsessed with the idea of leaving.

I was amazed though, when my stupid, teenage brain started liking Sam. He was everything a guy should've been. Smart. Funny. A great best friend. I never knew what to do with myself after that.

One day, my heart skipped a beat. I was in shock. I was always focused on school and less so about boys. I was confused. Why now?

Maybe it was because my heart needed more support than one person alone could give. Maybe that was why.

"Things can either break us or make us. It just depends on what you do with it.

You can hide and let your emotions out.

You can be angry and break everything you see.

Or you can just be numb. You can't feel anything anymore.

The most important thing is that you have support around you. Talk to someone. It'll make you feel better."

Maybe I really did need someone to talk to. Maybe I was just lonely. Tired of being alone swallowed by my emotions.
