Before Our Hearts Bleed

~I Saw Him. He Was Handsome.~

I've got to tell you about this handsome guy in high school. His name was William. He had pretty much all the same classes as me and he always made me laugh. We were friends in seventh and eighth grade. I don't think he knew that I was crushing hard on him; though I had a boyfriend. He was very abusive. William was so nice to me though.  He did just about anything I needed him to help me with. It's like there was this connection that was hard to see between us clearly. There was this one day I'd had enough with my boyfriend abusing me so I dumped him. He punched me in the arm. I ran to William and told him everything. He seemed really angry about it. He got even more angry when I showed him the welt on my arm. About 3 days went by and I had something to get off my chest. I had to tell him. It was because when I saw him he was handsome.
