*Skip ahead to a little over a year*
So I'm in my aunt's car, right?
And I can't get Erin off of my mind.
I felt kind of weird, though. Because I've never liked another girl. Wait, did I like Erin? I couldn't have. She was just a friend.
Maybe it was the thought of her liking me that made me think I like her...
But I couldn't get her off of my mind. She just all of a sudden, seemed so perfect to me. I all of a sudden loved everything about her.
Including her eyes, her smile, her voice...
Yeah, I just couldn't get her off of my mind.
When we finally got to my aunt's house, I practically ran inside, and grabbed my phone.
But I didn't text Erin.
I texted one of my best friends, Alan.
I told him what was on my mind. And what I was thinking.
I told him that I thought I liked Erin.
"Oh..." Was all he said. I figured it was because well...I've never liked a girl. And I never once in my life thought about it. He's probably in shock.
"So what should I do, Al?" I asked him.
His response was, "I think you should tell her you like her."
I felt my chest tighten. "Do you really think I should"
"Yeah."
I told him to wish me luck, and then went to my text messages. I opened up the texts between Erin and I.
I thought for a minute about what I would say.
(K-Kailynn. E-Erin)
K: hey
E: hey
K: what's up
E: nothing much.
K: cool. You're not busy, right?
E: no. Why
K: well...I have something I need to tell you.
E: you do?
K: yeah...I was planning on doing it when I got back home...But Alan thinks I should do it now...
E: what is it??
I felt my breathing quicken.
K: Well...I like this one person...
E: you do?? Who is it?
K: well...They're one of my best friends..
E: oh?
K: I've known them for around three years now...
E: that's a while...
K: and...They're reading this right now...
E: you like me?
K: ...
E: omg Kailynn...
K: yeah?
E: you know I like you too, right?
K: oh yeah...
E: and Kailynn
K: yes?
E: will you um...Go out with me?
K: yeah.
E: omg really??
K: yep
So we were now dating...
We were cute. She constantly told me she was so happy to be with me, she always told me she loved me, and I didn't think it could get any better.
We dated for a few weeks, and I was completely happy...
Then it happened.
