*16 year old Gwyn's POV*


I sat on the bed, quiet. I had never felt anything like this. Earlier, I had made pathetic attempts at begging and pleading with Lydia because I didn't understand what had gone wrong. Nothing made sense.


I had never even held anyone's hand before being with her. I was crazy about her. She was intoxicating- she had perfect breasts, and an amazing smell you could follow down the hallway with your eyes closed. She was also intelligent, and she liked a lot of the same music I liked too.


But she started hanging out with an older guy who worked at the mall. I told her I trusted her, even after she said he had tried to kiss her. But here I was, three months into my first relationship, and Lydia had just finished dumping me.


I was in agony. We had kept our relationship secret from all but a few friends, and so no one understood why I lost my mind when Lydia got engaged to the older guy eleven days after dumping me. The girl I still loved. I did my best to try and be her friend, I even loaned her my camera for her marriage by a justice of the peace only a few months after that. I tried to bolt my heart up. I went to counseling, I saw a psychiatrist. I gradually regained a tenuous hold on reality.
