His Regret

*Prologue*

"You'll love me forever?" I asked. "Forever and always." He replied, kissing my forehead. content with that answer, I snuggled deeper into his arms and gazed up at the stars. My life was perfect. Let me introduce myself. My name's Marina Cole and im 18 years old. I live in Caterwood, Florida with my mom and two brothers. Now, here's the part where I'd say, "I'm just your average, normal teenage girl" Errrr, wrong! I've been through things that no girl should ever go through. At the age of six, I was raped by my ex step father's nephew. No one knew about it. It would happen late at night when everyone was sleep. He'd creep I into my room and have his way. I would be too scared to do anything. To move, scream, or even open my eyes. When it was over and he'd left, I'd curl up in a ball, shut my eyes really tight and pray. Pray that he wouldn't come back again and pray that someone would save me. No one ever did. Finally when my mom divorced my ex step dad, we moved away. Finally, no more late night visits, or nightmares. I've never told anyone about it. Not even my mom. I'm afraid they'll look at me differently or worse, not believe me. The only person I finally told, was my boyfriend, Noah. Noah is my life. We met over the summer through our parents. We instantly clicked. We hung out and got to know each other all through the summer. When it was time for him to go home, I knew I liked him. As in, more than a friend like. One set back? He lived in Heartwood, Nevada. 100's and 100's of miles away from California. I thought that was the end after he left. I'd never see him again. The night he left, I went home, got in bed and cried my heart out. I knew he was special and in the few weeks that we knew each other, I'd come to love him. I course I'd never tell him because I wasn't even sure if it was for sure. Surprisingly, the next morning, I got a text from him saying, "I think I love you Marina" I was shocked. Not knowing what else to do, I replied with "I think I love you too Noah." and that how we came to be inseparable. Our "think" became "I do". We planned on getting married, buying a house, having two kids named Hailey and Braxton. We'd planned everything out perfectly. Life was going to be great. But of course, nothing ever goes as we plan right?
