The Last Spring Starflower a/k/a The Summer We All Fell out of Love

Part 1: Introduction, Explanation

DISCLAIMER: I wrote this on mobile Facebook. It's broken into little smaller parts and is probably full of all kinds of mistakes. I will probably edit it at one point. 

I am 22 now. I am a regular girl by all means. My life is not particularly exciting, in fact, it almost never was. But at one point in past, it was more than I could handle. It was more than just exciting and it was surprisingly eventful. This is my recollection of a summer that the lives of everybody around me changed to the point of no return.

In high school I was really close to two guys, lets call them S and G.They were my best friends. We always relied on each other. Our relationship was built on trust and mutual understanding. We didn't go to the same schools, but we always spent our free time together.

S and I were close for a long time and our feelings for each other were just starting to cross the line of becoming something more than just friends. You could say our relationship was in its bloom.

S had some anger issues though. He took care of that by doing sports. He wasn't violent or anything, he would just get angry easily and luckily he had a way to blow the steam off. His older brother got him into different activities to help him take care of it and they were really close. They trained together every day. 

His brother was not much older than him and the four of us were together quite often. We were all good friends. His brother actually spent more time with us than with his own group of friends. The home of the brothers was our regular hangout. Their parents always worked late which allowed us to have some privacy. I felt free when I was with them. I knew these guys had my back. I had many other friends, but I was never this close to anybody. I knew I was lucky to have them.

I knew G longer than anybody else. I knew him the best and I could tell there was something going on with him recently. He wasn't troubled though, that much was clear. He seemed...well happy, I guess. He became a cheerful person all of a sudden. It was very out of character for him, but it seemed like a good thing. 

I was too focused on my blossoming relationship with S to dig deeper. I'm the kind of person who won't push for more and will let people tell me what they want, when they want it. I figured if it was really a problem, he would come to me with it. Whatever it was, he knew he could trust me with it. 

Thinking about it now, I wish I nagged him about it more. I should have asked him what was going on, I should have insisted on him telling me. But I didn't. I still don't know if it was for the best or not. Things could have gone south either way. I thought I was doing the right thing at the time. Maybe I wasn't. How could I have known what it was going to escalate into soon after?
