*The guy's point of view*
I remember the pain as if it was yesterday. Oh do I remember it, a deep womb in my heart now dehiscing as I think about it. This all began in the early ages of mankind. I was about the age of six when I met this girl named Rayen. We were quite the rebels of our tribes. Even as young children we walked around the forest looking for hunt, learning how we were going to survive the future. Both of us were clever, never in fear of what was headed our way.
As we grew older we became attached to one another. We were inseparable, if you were looking for her, she was with me. Never would you see her with anyone else. I grew fond of her, even as a little boy I admired her. We faced obstacle over obstacle, we helped each other in time of need. Rayen and I always went hunting together, most people thought it was outrageous for a girl to go hunting, for it was a man's job. But, who am I to stop her from doing what she wants?
When Rayen and I reached our teen years I became impatient with her. There was this one guy she dated, I knew it wouldn't work because I'm the one for her, he can't protect her like I could, or even love her as much as I did. When they broke up, I was there for her, I comforted her. Days later I was tired of being just friends. I didn't know if it was her shining eyes, or her silky long hair, or her perfect face. Over time I realized that it wasn't her appearance, but it was her soul. There was something about her that made me get butterflies every time I see her. I think it's her attitude towards life. Just being with her makes me feel better. Rayen was intelligent, cool, respectful, and trustworthy. On top of that, she was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I wasn't quite sure how she felt about me, I knew she saw me as a friend or a brother, nothing more. Yet, I couldn't live another day without telling her how I felt.
I couldn't sleep, I was really nervous. It was almost dawn when I fell asleep. So when I woke up I prayed to the Gods to give me strength to talk to her, and to make this day be perfect. As I was walking towards her tepee, I noticed flowers blooming which is rare because flowers don't grow around here. There was many variations of flowers so I took as many as I could and continued my walk towards her house.
*Rayens point of view*
I don't know what I am feeling. I know he doesn't care about me in that way. What am I so worried about? We both know we like each other. Oh who am I kidding? I'm just a little sister to him right? I saw it when Itzel broke up with me, he treated me as a little sister. I cannot help but to over think his "we need to talk". I hope he doesn't tell me he has a girlfriend because that's how I told him. I've never seen him with another girl before. I get jealous just thinking about another girl. He's been hanging out with me every minute of the day lately. I do like him, I'm scared of what he is going to tell me. I get lost in his smile, his hair, and his perfect body, everything about him was perfect. He understands me, my life. No one has ever shown me as much attention as he has, nobody cares about him like I do. I hope he's here in a bit, I think today would be a perfect day to tell him how I feel.
