My High School Romance

Part 3

She was at her friend’s house. It was a friend she had never really gotten too see much since she lived farther away. Her friend didn't know who he was or what he looked like. Her friend did know what he was like though, from what she had heard. She told her friend everything about him. Anything she ever heard him say or anything she had ever felt for him, she told her friend. They were best friends. One weekend, she was staying at her friend’s house. All she could talk about with her friend was him and how she missed him - how all she wanted was to have him back. How all she wanted was to see him smile from something she said... To be in his arms... To feel warm... Loved... The comfort. Her friend wanted to prank call, and she suggested prank calling him. She agreed, so they did it. He answered the phone and got annoyed, since he knew it was them. He stayed on the phone with her though. She got all silent, like usual. Her friend then had to go in the shower, so it was just him and her. 'So, we are alone now?' He asked her. 'Yes...' She replied. 'I have a question to ask you' He said. 'What is the meaning of love to you? In your own words.' 'U...uh.... I don't know...' She says. 'Well, what is your definition of true love? In your own words.' 'U...uh... I still don't know how to explain...' She says. 'True love, is whenever someone leaves you... But then eventually comes back for you.' He said. These questions got her thinking. Could he possibly still have feelings for her? Could he be wanting to have her back? He asked what the definitions of different kinds of love were... And she figured out that true love is what she is wanting - him to come back to her. Her heart started racing and she said 'Do you... Want me to hang up? Cause it's just silence like usual..' He said 'No. Maybe I like talking to you'. She got really hot and her face red. Starting to sweat and her heart racing, she smiled big and replied 'okay'. Her friend had gotten out of the shower and came back in the room. Her friend had noticed the big smile on her face, and had gotten a curious look on her face. The rest of that night, for hours, they talked to him on the phone off and on. She loved this. She felt as if they were at least becoming friends. At least she could be friends with him... But it is definitely not matching up with what she is feeling for him. He eventually asks her 'Um... Can you please go somewhere where you are alone?' She replied 'yes' and her heart started racing again. She didn't know what to expect him to do or say, but could this possibly be what she has been wanting all summer long? 'I... I have something to say. I love you. If i could take back all of those times i was a jerk too you and made you cry, i would. I was a jerk. I treated you more like a bro than a girlfriend, which was so stupid of me. I regret all of the times when you wanted all the attention from me, but i paid you none. I promise you that i will never leave you again. I was so stupid to think that i loved her more than you. You didn't deserve the pain that i put you through... and i really wish i could just take all of that pain back... like it never even happened. I promise you, i will never do that again. I... I'm just so sorry. I can't see how you could forgive me...' Her face. It was... So... Unreadable. She had a smile, with tears in her eyes, with a racing heart and blood red cheeks. She had her hand on her heart, another covering her mouth... She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She didn't know what to say too him... So she was just silent. He said 'Now, I believe in second chances... and... If you wouldn't mind, I would like for us to try again... I really love you...' She muted the phone and screamed. Screaming is all she could think to do. She was crying so much and felt so over whelmed. This... Was indeed true love. This must be why he asked her for the definition - so she would realize that true love is what they shared with each other... She immediately said 'YES! I love you too! Can i please go tell my friend what just happened?! She won't believe it!!' With a big smile on her face, she entered her friends room and screamed 'WE ARE BACK TOGETHER AND WE ARE IN LOVE!!' She and her friend both jumped up and screamed of joy and shed some tears of happiness. She got back on the phone and asked to call him back – she and her friend just needed a quick breather. It was officially THE BEST night of her entire life. They eventually started talking more and more every night like they used too. One night after she had gone to bed and went to sleep, he had texted her this very message: '...i couldn't sleep.. and.. it gave me... thinking.. time... and it's time i crack my shell.. im sick of hiding my feelings.. and being shadowy... i love you.. i am so glad to be back... and.. and i did a stupid thing by breaking up with you... i felt as if there wasn't. A chance.... and.... i am shocked.. at how you took me back......... i look back... and... i... am grateful to have you... and... if.. i could change my past.. i would... to make it.. where everytime i made you sad... or cry.. or mad.. or jealous... it.. never existed.... I'm sorry... i will make things better in the future.. in our future.. and i plan on protecting you... and treating you like my girlfriend..... and... standing up for you..... i.... i love you... and... please.. forgive.. me... but.. i probably woke you up with this..... i... i... i want to give us a chance.... so.. don't give up on me.. alright? ..... I'll make this highschool life the best ever... i love you.. and sorry to bother' Whenever she woke up and read that message, it gave her the biggest smile on her face. She thought to herself that he must really love her. He must really want their relationship to last forever... It made her so happy now to think that whenever the new school year starts up again, they can cuddle and hug at their spot in the mornings again. He will actually pay attention to her this time, because he realized he was wrong for not doing so. She would get so excited thinking about it. She knew for a fact that they were truly in love... And she thanked God every night for having him back. It's all she had ever wanted. She had band camp over the summer and would call him every single night after practice. He would always be so sweet and ask her how her practice went. Every time she called he would say 'gosh... I just really wanna cuddle you right now.' She would giggle and smile. She had really missed those old phone calls when he said those things to her. He seemed a lot more loving in this relationship than the last one. She guessed cause he realized what he did wrong and what he could improve on in the relationship. She was very happy. Very, VERY happy where her life was headed. One night, they were talking on the phone. She had told him that she really wanted him to be her date to homecoming, since she had never been to a dance before with a guy she really loved. All she had ever dreamed of was slow dancing with a guy... She thought it was the sweetest thought. She asked him what color dress he would like her to wear. He replied 'i like black, red or white. But you know, i would want to save the white one for a very special day in our future.' She said 'AWWWW!' Really loud on the phone. That was the sweetest thing ever! And they had then talked about how many kids they wanted to have. They were talking about their future together all night long... And how they would love to be together forever... even eventually start a family.
