My name is Tony. This is the story of how I found love... and then destroyed it. It was my freshman year if high school. A girl messaged me randomly asking a question for her homework. It was about chemistry. I wasn't good at it then but I knew the answers. In the end she asked if I wanted to be friends. I said yes. She seemed really nice. We talked a lot and became very close very quick. Soon she said she wanted to be more than friends but only went with best friends. By this point I had developed a crush on her. One day a guy named Mike gave her a bouquet of roses and played a song for her on the guitar... they started dating. I hated it. I wanted her but I played nice to stay friends. One day she was told they would be going to the amusement park. That day she saw Mike holding hands with her friend Jennifer. She ran away crying. I comforted her. Secretly I was at least a little happy. She wanted to skip school but I encouraged her. I knew she was strong enough. A few months go by. She gets mostly over Mike but still won't talk to him. My birthday hits and we talk all day. I hint to me liking her but didn't have the courage to tell her out right. Then a couple weeks later it's her birthday. We decide to meet at a park and exchange gifts for eachother there at 5. I napped to long and arrived a half hour late. She was mad but quickly got over it. We save the gifts for the end. We spend out time talking about really deep life stuff. We open the gifts. I got her am engineering book because that was her life goal. She got me a clock. But in the clock was a picture of us. So when I checked the time I would think of her. It was amazing. She sees a poster. Fireworks were gonna be happening that night. We both had forgotten it was Valentine's day. We were talking about more life stuff before it started and she felt weird around all the couple's. We started holding hands to make her feel less awkward. That night I told her I loved her. Not just a crush. It had been months for me to realize that i was in love.... She couldn't say it back. That feeling was there but... it was gone now. We don't talk for a week. I keep thinking there's hope but she tells me there isn't. She said I've changed to much. I wasn't the best friend she once had. I was consumed by my want to be with her... She stopped talking to me... another week passed. Mike talked to me. He never cheated on her. Her friend tried to get him. He asked me to tell her. I never told her about Mike. I regret that. The next time we talked was a month later. She seemed weird. The next day her mom calls asking if i knew where she was. I didn't. We find her. In a hospital. She had been run over. She could have gotten out of the way but decided not to. She wanted to die. Somehow she made a miraculous recovery but... all her memories were gone. All of them. I decided then that I needed to just give up. I finish high school and college. I go into chemistry. She goes into psychology and somehow we work at the same university. One day she messaged me. She didn't know me still. She wanted to pick my brain for some research she was doing to try and fix her amnesia. It was about love. I referred to our "relationship" and it was all sad... She eventually had to go and her final message was "friends?" I said "of course Emily" Then she left

That was as far as the game went and starting with the next chapter it will be the full story and not a summary. It will be all my own thoughts from then on. Thank you for reading this. Goodbye for now
