Que lay in bed, memories takin' him back to that first time he saw Lena, back when he was 17 and she was just 15. It had been five years now, but he remembered every moment like it was yesterday.
Flashback: The First Time They Met
It was five years ago, and Que was just 17, spendin' his days hangin' around the block with his boys. One afternoon, Lena walked by with her friends, laughin' and lookin' like she didn't have a care in the world. The second he saw her, it was like somethin' just clicked.
"Yo, who's that?" he asked his friend, tryin' to act casual, but he couldn't stop lookin' at her.
"Oh, that's Lena," his friend replied, smirkin'. "She's young, bro. Only 15."
Que shrugged, still watchin' her walk by. "She somethin' else, though," he said to himself, makin' a silent promise that he'd find a way to talk to her.
Flashback: The First Conversation
About a week later, he finally saw her again, this time without her friends. He walked over, playin' it cool. "Hey, I'm Que," he said, flashin' her a small smile. "I seen you around, figured I'd come say hi."
She looked up at him, curious, but not shy. "Hey, Que. I'm Lena."
For the first time, they talked, just the two of them. She had this quiet confidence, somethin' that made her stand out from the rest. They talked 'bout life, school, and dreams, and by the end of it, he knew he wanted her by his side.
Flashback: A Month Later
After about a month of talkin' and seein' each other, they made it official. Lena had his heart, and he made sure she knew it. They'd been together ever since, growin' together, dreamin' together, even through the rough times.
She was there for him in ways he didn't even know he needed, and from that first month, Que knew she was the one. Lena was the girl who kept him grounded, the one he'd been lookin' for, even if he hadn't realized it back then.
Present Day
Now, five years later, Lena was 20, and he was 22. They'd been through it all together, from those early days to now, and Que knew he was lucky. Soon as he got back home, he was makin' sure she knew how much she meant to him, how she'd been his ride-or-die from the very start.
