chapter 3 - the relationship

Honestly, things started moving pretty fast. Despite our timezones, which were very different, we pretty much talked all the time and learned all about each other; it felt like I was living an actual fairy tale - or a fanfiction maybe.
A week later he admitted he had a crush on me and I'll be honest; at the time I had a small crush on another guy which made me kinda sceptical about the whole situation. We talked a bit more about the situation and I was kinda starting to like him too so why not give it a shot?

We started dating.

Everything happened so fast that, as much as I try to get the words out and explain how everything went, I'm struggling a little. Time flies and since I met him, it feels even faster.

So, to give you a small and quick backstory to my life before we met, I was pretty much depressed. No, I'm not trying to make you feel pity, that's not it, it's just the truth.
I've always struggled with social anxiety and anxiety in general, with that came depression. I really can't explain how much he changed my life, he just did. Having someone to talk to about anything at all times was the best feeling I could've ever felt and I never expected someone to treat me as well as he did, it was an amazing experience and I would give anything to go back in time and re-live all that. He has always supported me and if I had any problem, I'd go talk to him. - I'm gonna be honest, before him I always had this idea that all boys sucked but he changed that.

A month goes by; a month of all loving and caring about each other, discussing our future together and all that stuff even tho I was aware of how wrong that was because distance was a factor and age too. My birthday came by and he got me tickets to a concert which, to this day, makes me feel really guilty, I hate the fact anyone would ever spend that kind of money on me and I've always wanted to give something back but.. what do you give someone who already has everything?

At this point, everything in my life seemed perfect; school was going great, I had the best possible boyfriend in the world, my family was doing great - everything was perfect.
