You were a simple girl and you never demanded much from life. You were happy living a simple life and were content with creating small memories that would someday serve as a reminder of all the good things in life. But with the changing world, you needed to change too. Because it made you insecure. Ofcourse, every girl is insecure, may it be her weight, height, complexion, academics, etc.
We live in a world where your appearance is much more important than your actual personality. People like you for not being you...but for the way you look. This is the ugly truth of life. You understand what it's like to face the world, the struggles you have.. to look good and confident.

You were sitting outside your house on the swing and were deep in your thoughts. You thought about all the negativity around you and how you were insecure about yourself.
"Hey" You heard someone say. You looked back and saw Justin standing there. He was your neighbour. You two always fought childishly and your fights never really made any sense.You never really accepted each other as friends.
"Justin not now" Your voice was low.
He came and stood in front of you and stared at you for a while. You finally looked up and said, "Not today. We can fight tomorrow. I promise." You were very frustrated. Justin didn't say a word and then sat next to you. He was silent. He was never this quiet before and you noticed that.
"So you having a bad day too?" You asked.
"Why would I talk to you about it?" His tone was low too.
You wanted to punch him but instead you took a deep breath.
"Lets just take a break." You said.

"A break from what?"

"A break from all our stupid fights. Lets talk real today. But only for today."

"Sounds good. So I'll go first. I was at the award function tonight and I was nominated for the best male artist. I really wanted to win it. But I didn't. I feel so useless and angry"

"Hahaha! You feel useless and angry just because you didn't get any award? I'm right when I say you're stupid when we fight."

"It's not funny."

You could sense how hurt he was.
"I know it meant a lot to you. You wanted to win it and when you didn't, being angry about it is okay..for a while though. But useless? Nope. Just because you didn't get an award, it doesn't mean that you are less talented now. You'll be awesome with or without the award. Your beliebers still love you. And isn't it amazing to meet people who say that your songs inspire them? I think that's the real award. You are already a winner."
You said all that very calmly.

Justin looked at you and smiled.
"This is the first time you said that I'm talented. I mean...You always think I'm a stupid jerk."

"Hmm..You know I never mean it..well sometimes I do..but not every time."

"Haha! And that is exactly what I feel. We fight a lot about stupid things but we never have serious fights or say what we say seriously."
You smiled.

"What's disturbing you?" He asked.

"Nothing much. Just one of those days when you feel you're not good enough. All these insecurities, they get to me. And feeling worse will be the best way to describe my thoughts right now."

"Are you serious? You think you're not good enough? That's utter nonsense. How can a girl like you even have those kind of thoughts?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean..You are so confident and smart. You're beautiful and you are an amazing person. I envy you! How can you be so perfect?"

"What? Are you listening to yourself right now? I don't need you to say it for the sake of saying it. It's okay Justin. I know I'm flawed."

"Who isn't? And I meant every word I said. Don't even think for a second that you're not worthy enough. You sexy little beast!"
You laughed and you felt better.

"Thanks. For everything." You said.

"Yeah. Thanks for listening to me"

"Well I'll go now. But hey! No one should know about this!"

"Yes madam. No one will!"

8 years later
You and Justin were watching tv when your kid came up to you and asked, "How did it all begin?"
Justin answered, " Well it all started with 'not being friends' We were never friends. We were always more than that. "
Justin looked in your eyes and you both smiled.
