Friends Until the End

A sweet romance story between old friends.

A sweet angel named Sam. A troublemaker named Elijah. A party-lover named Bella. A shy nerd named Alex. What could have possibly brought such different people together?

Sam knew Elijah was nothing but bad news, so why did all thoughts drift to the sharp-tongued troublemaker? How was it that anytime the young delinquent would walk into the room, Sam's thoughts would go wild? Sam was a good kid; always did as told, never talked back, would help in any circumstance. Elijah was the complete opposite in every way.

Elijah had a crush on Sam. Everyone knew it, including Elijah. Everyone but Sam that was. Elijah would never admit it though. Who wanted to loose a true, good friend over a silly childhood crush? Besides, Elijah doubted Sam would ever feel the same way. They were total opposites from each other. Their friendship was enough, a relationship would just be pushing it.

Bella was known to be a wild child. But, aren't all teens who have fallen in love with their closet friend a bit wild? Bella was usually known for setting up others, like Elijah, her brother, but no one would have expected the party animal to have a crush as well. Who'd have guessed the wild Bella would have been tamed by the quiet Alex, who barely ever even talked.

Alex wasn't popular by any means. It wasn't a big deal though. Books would always make for better company than loud, obnoxious partiers who broke every rule they knew. Well, every partier except one... Bella. Bella would always make sure Alex was included and having a good time. It made Alex's stomach flutter without fail every single time that Bella would glance over, checking to make sure Alex was ok.
