Here I was, sitting on grass under the tree with my favorite red knee-high dress on, waiting for Liam.

My Liam.

Like most love stories, He is my  childhood crush and always will be.
He finally made a move last summer and is about to become senior in high school like me.
We sadly don't go to the same school. It makes things kinda complicated.

We only fight when one of us is jealous, which is almost every week, but he is worth it.

"Hey pretty girl"
I turned around and see Liam standing next to me.

"Hey handsome", I said with a smile. My heart still skips a beat every time I see him.

"My parents wanted me to do some housework before I left. I'm sorry, if you had to wait a little.", he said as he sat down next to me.

"It's totally fine. I enjoy being outside anyways.", I said as I looked him up and down.

He wore a white shirt with black jeans and random sneakers.
He likes to keep it simple.
When I said that he is handsome, I didn't lie. His dark brown hair matches with his bright blue eyes.

If it was up to me, I could stare at him forever.

"What did you wanted to talk about?", I asked to change the topic.

"Yeah, I don't want to beat around the bush, so I'm going to tell you this but don't freak out"

I got scared as he said it in a serious tone. I was waiting for him to continue but all I could hear is my fast heart beat.

It looked like he had a battle with him self. And not even a second later, came the words out, I was never prepared to hear.

"I think it's the best for us to break up. "
I could feel my heart literally breaking in small pieces. Even the thought us not being together hurts.

I was under shook. My throat is hurting because I'm trying to say something but I can't. I'm speechless. We just talked about our future together, the other day.
And now he thinks it's the best to break up?

"Don't get me wrong I love you but.."
At the very second he said but, my mind just went off.

"If you really love me, you wouldn't break up with me! Did you even loved me at all? Or am I just someone to keep you company?"

I could feel my tears falling down my face. All I could feel was pain and betrayal.

"Of course I love you and I'm breaking up with you because I love you! Why do you always have to be so fucking dramatic?"

His words feel like a punch in my face. He really knows how to hurt me emotionally. I'm burning up for anger. I wish he could feel what I am feeling.

"You are always the one who is getting us into a fight and I'm sick of it. You are a lot of work. I can't handle it anymore. Why can't you be like other girls and be a little quieter?" He asked screaming at me as I am whipping my tears away.

"You really comparing me to other girls right now?"

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said, "I don't have the time for that. I wanted to have an adult conversation but its impossible."

"Fine, what made you what to break up with me?"
I stared right in his beautiful blue eyes as I hold on to his arm. I can't believe that I can't call him mine anymore.

"Someone stole my heart from you. I  really want to try to see where things go with her but you will always be my first love."

"But I don't want to break up. I love you.  We love each other. How did you develop having feelings for someone else?", I asked with a quiet voice.

He looked at me with guilt and said the final sentence.

"I fell out of love"

And with that he walked out of my life.
