Once Upon A Memory

Intro:

      This story starts on a day very long ago which is the very first day that I ever met him. As soon as I laid my eyes upon him I knew right then and there that I did not ever want him out of my life. However, there were a few things that i did not realize that i was getting myself into such as all of the drama, and the heartache that came along with wanting to be his friend.

     All of this drama and heartache revolved around one specific person in his life which happened to be his girlfriend, the one woman who he loved more than anything else in the world, but who treated him like a pile of used junk. She controlled everything in his life from what he wore to who he saw and when. Whatever he wanted to do had to be approved by her and it had to fit into her schedule accordingly. As ironic as it sounds she was cheating on him, and liked to rub it into his face. It was oblivious to him until he was almost bound to her for a lifetime, after a mistake she was blaming him for even though it was not the truth.

     When I met Alex that very first day long ago I set a goal for myself to do anything and everything to help him, especially with escaping his evil queen. However, all that he did was push me away and say, "I can handle it all on my own." In reality it was apparent that he really could not handle it all, but one day he finally let me into his mind to help. That was the start to our odd friendship.

     I had never before had a bestfriend that was a guy. Right from the jump this friendship was different from all other friendships that i had, because i fell in love with him, and not in a 'best friends are solemates' type of way, but in a 'I want to spend the rest of my life with this man' type of way. He never felt the same way towards me, and after a while it began to hurt and I grew to realize that maybe your first guy best friend isn't meant to be the guy that you spend the rest of your life with.

     The pain grew almost unbearable when the time came to find out that he had feelings for one of my friends, and I felt betrayed even though I had no reason to. He had no idea that I liked him, so I could not expect him to know that just from looking at me. I had to be supportive, as his best friend. The pain grew worse when she had the same strong feelings for him. Jealousy overtook my mind and all of my emotions left me angry, heartbroken, and depressed.

     This long story of heartbreak and love begins with my sophomore year of high school...
