I'm Samantha Marie Edwards. As of now, I'm 20 years old. I live in a small flat in Sydney, Australia. I have a very supportive mother, and a dead younger sister.

When I was about 5 or maybe 6, I was watching a movie alone. It was about a boy and a girl who couldn't be together because their families hated each other. They were judged. They were mistreated. But they were madly in love.

As I was watching the movie, the boy and girl kissed.. And kissed. The boy told the girl, "I love you". I've heard those words before, but I never knew what they actually ment.

So later that day, me and my mother went to the park, after her and dad had another fight. She was stressed and upset, so I was afraid to ask. But I built up the guts to ask.

"M-mommy?"

She looked down on me.

"Yes, dear?"

"What is love?" I asked quietly.

She slightly gasps and widened her eyes a little, too. She sat me on her lap and stroked my hair.

"Sammy.. Love is something that.. Lasts forever. Its not about just hugging and kissing, no. Its about waking up in the morning with a smile on your face knowing your lover in lying next to you. Its about the sweet, small, and cute things every once in a while." She paused and sighed. "I don't know, baby. You'll understand when you're a lot older. But all you need to know now is that it lasts forever." She smiled and kissed my head.

"Forever?"

"Forever. I promise."

I went silent. I still didn't quite understand what it truely ment, but I knew it lasted forever. I smiled just thinking about it. Forever.

Boy, was mom wrong, though.

I fell in love with Ashton Fletcher Irwin. He was my everything, and I was his. But he left me for his god damned band. A band!!

Well I know he's more successful than me. I live in a small flat, work at a bar, and I still have to rely on my mom for money. While he's living his dream, leaving me heartbroken every day.  I loved him. I still love him.

But he doesn't love me ...
