     All good stories have different sides, so why would this one be any different? We even disagree about the beginning, she believes we met in Raider an extracurricular activity for ROTC that trains you physically for bootcamp. I believe we met at honor flight welcoming back veterans who went to D.C. However this is my story so we'll start with honor flight. My emotional and physical spectrums have always been out of whack, that day was no exception. At that time I was seeing Kati, she was the shy, silent one who wasn't sexual in any way. That day I was after Meditz my squad leader for ROTC, she had just gone through a break-up and was crying, she was cute I couldn't stand to see her cry so I did what I always do I wrote her a cheesy poem. I didn't see Meditz a lot that day though, instead I met her. Her name was Harmony, she was there with her friend Gabi. She was cute and fun to be with but she was a freshman and I was a senior so I had no interest in dating her, instead I befriended her. The rest of that day I was myself for the first time in a long time. She was crazy, fun, and honestly slightly annoying, but she made me feel like I wasn't alone. It's amusing thinking of the fact that, that was the first pebble in the avalanche known as my life.
     Fast forward two months and we had become stronger as friends while I and Kati had become weaker as a couple. Part of me wants to hate her now, but I can't blame her, I'm hard to love. I wanted to date her and her best friend, and I wanted to have a physical relationship with her since we had been dating six months and only kissed once. I wish that could justify my actions but I know I was and still am an asshole. But in the end, she left me. I like to think myself above suicide, but that night she broke up with me I got high for the first and only time, I also almost killed myself, but Harmony saved me. Three days later she invited me to her birthday party. I know it was reckless, I know it was wrong that at that point she was only just a rebound, but I didn't care. That day I asked her out. She said yes. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if she regrets it. When I tell her that she calls me stupid, I guess that's because of the rest of the story, I never did see it coming.
