My First Love

Chapter One.

I didn't know what he wanted at first but yet I opened the window and let him in. I wasn't prepared for what he told me that night. Those exact words he told me still run through my head even after four years.
      I was fourteen when I had feelings for my best friend. I was thinking about how it would be like when we grow up. Once I was starting to think about us being together I heard a knock on my window. I looked out and saw my best friend Jake on my roof trying to get in.
"What do you want? My parents are asleep" I whispered.
"I need to talk to you" Jake whispers back.
      I let him in not knowing what was going to happen and once he set foot in my room he rushed to my door and locked it. Jake then stood right in front of me and grabbed my hand.
"I'm moving" he said as he looked down to our intertwined hands.
"Why are moving? Where are you moving too?" I quickly started asking questions.
"I'm moving to California. I don't know if I'm coming back or not and I wanted to tell you something."
"What do you want to tell me Jake?" I asked with a questioned look on my face.
"I want you to wait for me. I will come back for you when I'm older. I know we're still little but I won't forget about you. I love you Sophie. I grew up with you and know everything about you and I just want you to wait for me." He said looking into my eyes while holding my hand tight. I didn't know what to think. I mean we're fourteen and he thinks he loves me. He leaned over and kissed me. It was a sloppy kiss and it was our first.
"I will wait but promise me you will come for me?" I asked worried.
"I will I know we're young but I think you may be the one" he had a cheesy smile on his face when he told me.
      There was movement beyond my locked door which caused Jake to leave. I quickly closed the window and unlocked the door. I got in bed and that's when my dad walked in.
"Are you okay darling?" He questioned me.
"Yeah why? What's wrong?" I acted as if I had just waken up from my slumber.
"I though I heard something but it could have just been the wind. Anyways sorry to wake you up. Goodnight."
      I didn't sleep at all knowing Jake was going to leave after he had just confessed his feelings like that. I didn't expect him to like me. Especially cause I'm overweight and ugly but I guess he found something in me that he liked. How could he love me? We're young kids that don't even know the meaning of the word yet he said as if he believed it was what he truly felt.
