Emily is a girl who had her heart broken by her past exes. She doesn't let herself love again, but is finding it hard not to when she gets closer to her classmate, Aaron.
Aaron is head over heels, completely in love with his best friend, or so he think he is. All this changes when he gets to know this lonely girl sitting on the park bench.
(Short teaser from the story)
"Let's do this again." I heard him say. I took a deep breath and held out my hand. I looked up at him and found myself staring at those brown eyes I can't resist. I smiled at him and said, "Hi, My name is Emily Jane Parker. I go by EJ. I'm seventeen years old. I like spending my afternoons at the park. Sometimes I bring my guitar, but most days I just sit on the bench and take in everything that's happening around me."
"Hello, My name is Aaron Joshua DelaPaz. My friends call me AJ. I'm seventeen years old. I like dancing, but I don't let other people watch me dance. I guess I'm too shy." He shrugged and continued, "And I would like you to give me another chance."
I cast my eyes downwards, feeling unsure. He used that opportunity to pull me to him.
"Just give me a chance, Em." He whispered. "Give me a chance to make you fall in love with me, like I fell for you."

Jemily or just Emily?
⚠️PLEASE READ⚠️ PSA: I was in 8th grade when I wrote this and I believe it is very poorly done. Go ahead and read. I don't have the patience to rewrite. I have heard from several comments that it is funny so that is something to look forward to. MAJOR TRIGGER WARNINGS: I know there are several mentions etc of self harm. I believe there is also mention of sexual assault and the R word. There may also be mentions of EDs but I don't recall as I haven't read this story in years. I'm sorry, I fr don't know why I wrote such wild triggering stuff then let a bunch of other people read it. Also, the way I write the characters in this is pretty unrealistic. I just didn't understand the depth of people in 8th grade and I def didn't know how to write it. --- Emily realizes she has feelings for JJ, but does JJ Love her back? Prentiss is surrounded by profilers, who's going to figure out her secret? What happens during the journey of love? Will there even be love? Why does this sound like a description for an episode story from the app Episode? *MATURE AUDIENCE PLEASE* *GRAPHIC* *SEXUAL AKA SEX* *SELF HARM SO BE MATURE PLEASE*Complete
