my name is amya. i'm known as a really shy person. i don't like to talk much and i have trust issues. my best friend, cameron, is very popular. she's dating someone named stephen. stephens best friend is hayes grier. i've had a crush on hayes since i was 12 but i know that he will never like me because of how different we are.
<HAYES>
i was walking to school when i saw a girl walking alone. she was walking with her headphones in and her head down. i immediately knew it was amya. she's so shy and i'm not sure why but it intrigues me. she's so beautiful and i always wonder what couldve hurt her to make her so shy. i decided that today was the day i find out. i jogged up to her and shouted for her "amya!!" she slowly turned around. "oh h-hi hayes" she said barely making eye contact. "hey, could you meet me at the park after school at 4?" i said. " oh hayes i-i don't kn-" i cut her off by saying "great! see you there!" and jogging of to school.
<AT THE PARK AT 4; HAYES>
i walked to the park after school and sat amya sitting on the swing by herself. "hey amya" i said. "hi hayes" she responded. "look i just wanna talk" i said "why are you so shy? i'm sorry to be so straight forward but i just always wondered" i asked. "hayes. i have trust issues and i'm afraid of people leaving me or using my information against me. i'm sorry. i'm just not ready to tell you." she said. "amya. i would never leave you." "i'm sorry hayes" i stood up frustrated and she stood up as well. i raised me hand to run it through my hair when she covered her face. "please don't hit me! i'm sorry!" she said. "what?? i would never hit you amya. why would you think that??" she had tears streaming down her face. i pulled her into a hug and rubbed her back. we sat down on a bench and sat in silence for a good 6 minutes. until she broke the silence. "i was abused" she said quietly. "what?" i said amazed. "my dad. he hit me. a lot. i also had a boyfriend a few months ago that started abusing me right after my dad left. he called me names like fat, ugly, slut, worthless. i was told to go kill myself." she whispered while tears where streaming down her face. i was crying too. how could someone do that to her?? " amya. i have been so intrigued by you for years. you're beautiful and so shy and delicate. how could someone do that to you? i'm not sure. all that i know is that i want you to be mine. i love you." she looked up at me astonished. just by looking at her she gave me butterflies. "hayes. you don't like me. i'm to ugly, fat, i'm a slut, i'm worthless, i'm-" i stopped her by placing my hands on her rosy cheeks and kissing her. she kissed back. we pulled away and i said "none of that is true. you're gorgeous. the most beautiful girl i have ever seen. you're not fat, you're not a slut. you're not worthless. i love you so much. please be mine?" "hayes. you saved my life" "well. i wouldn't say that" i said "no. hayes. my ex, he still texts me all these mean things. i was going to kill myself today." "please amya. don't say that. i'm so proud of you we will get through this together." we sat in silence until she answer my question. i instantly smiled at her response. "i'm all yours"
