Would you die for more love?

Is this true love?

My name is Samantha and this is my story. My life was like a fairy tale, I had a boyfriend and a wonderful group of friends. But unlike most fairy tales, mine wasn't happy.

It all began when I was little: My mom gave me a lot of love, but my sister was jealous because mom loved me more than her, that is why she hated me. She hated me so badly. I was her worst enemy, but to me, she was my sister who I love deeply, that's why I have always been nice to her and I think that has made her even more upset.

When I was 17 I met the love of my life: Jacob, ooohh I loved him so much. He was smart, beautiful and so kind. He was the most perfect person I had ever met and he had fallen for me. I couldn't believe it until now, but this perfect guy had fallen for me.

At first, I was shy but after a while, I became friends with him, but then I saw my sister looking at him. Paige always told some rumours about me to her friends and that is why they hated me too, but my friends were so kind that I didn't pay attention to my sister and her friends.

I knew after a while that I wanted to be more than 'just friends' with Jacob, but I knew for sure that he loved my sister. She was like my doppelgänger, only more perfect and she had the 'wow-effect': everybody loved her from the moment they looked into her wonderful ocean-blue eyes.

I was like her shadow. Jacob had looked in her eyes many times, so I knew for sure that when he came to my house it was to see Paige. But then, against all odds, I received a love letter from him:

Dearest Samantha,
Every night, you are what I dream of.
Do you remember when we did that science project on love?
We were told love is just a bunch of chemicals, but I disagree.
I love you and you are all I see.
I love your pink lips and how you bite them when you're nervous
I love everything about your body, all its angles and curves
I love your hair and the way you twirl it drives me crazy
But most of all,
I love your beautiful smile, baby
I'm afraid I can't live without you
You have no idea what feelings you are putting me through
My biggest hope is that you love me too
So please let me know if you do
With all the love in the universe, Jacob, caught by your love curse

My heart stopped for a second. Jacob didn't love Paige but me. He was actually in love with ME! The day after I ran to him and said: "I love you too!". He looked at me like I was the dumbest person alive. After I gave one look at my sister I knew she had set this up just to humiliate me. I ran back to my house and didn't come out for a week.

My mom didn't know what was going on, but she left me alone and every day she put my food in front of my door and I ate in my room for a week. Of course, I was missing a lot of classes and after a week my dad called me and said "Enough, I don't know what is going on between you two but it has to stop. Samantha, you are going to apologize to your sister and you WILL GO to school tomorrow!"

Of course, this was happening again. For my father, Paige was the perfect daughter and nothing was ever her fault, in one way or another it was always my fault. I gave mom this look like 'it wasn't my fault' and then she gave me the look like 'I know that sweetie but just do it so your dad is happy'. So I told him I was sorry that I was hiding in my room for a week.

The next day was terrible; it was like the first of September: a new school, many people looking at you, but then worse: I knew all these people but I wasn't paying attention to them, only to the two kissing teenagers in front of me. You couldn't guess it, but they were my sister and Jacob. My world crumbled in front of my eyes so I turned around and ran to my friends. They were the only ones I had left.

Or so I thought. A couple hours after this incident (in the noon) Jacob walked up to me and he was kind. He talked about what happened the days I was absent and he told me about his family, but all I could think of was: "Why is he so nice to me? Is he here because Paige sent him to me? Does he hate me and is he doing this just to humiliate me in front of everyone?" Everyone was looking at us and they were sniggering. After a while Jacob noticed and he said: "I am sorry but I have to go." And he ran away. There I stood all alone and everyone was laughing at me.

It was very quiet the rest of the month, but then it was my birthday. The situation at school hadn't improved and I had lost a lot of friends, Jacob included. My birthday was a living nightmare: in classes everything was fine, but when I came to the playground my sister smashed a whole cake in my face and screamed: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMANTHA!!!"
