Only From Afar

epilouge

     I have finally broken up with Elliot this summer. Our relationship was bumpy, he was my first boyfriend. And after being in love with a guy who wouldn't have noticed me even if i was standing right in front of him, i think i decided being with Elliot just to see what relationships are.

     My best friends Alya and Yvonne hated listening to me cry about my relationship, to be fair probably because Elliot is their bestfriend, me breaking up with him was about to be celebrated. The thing they didn't like is me staying in touch with him. Just because he loves me and we write back and forth doesn't mean we should get back together. Before me and Elliot met, i noticed his friend first, Alexander. Full of himself, always dressed in all black and having to lines cut into his perfect haircut. When me and Elliot got together i acted like i hated Alexander just so people didn't realize i actually liked him. Only person that knew is Sarah, the girl i would trust with my life. Most of the human population thinks she is an emotionless brat. She never talks infront of people she's not close to. I tell her everything, probably because it takes her twenty minutes to forget what i told her. Either way, she is the only person that knew.

     There is no person that hates Elliot more than Sarah, when we broke up i think she was capable of drinking every night. Celebrating my freedom from a toxic relationship, her biggest disappointment being me staying in contact with him. I mean, we are in a same friend group i don't want to have to stay home just because he is going out.

     New school year started and i would have never guessed what was ahead of me.
