It was a Friday night and I just got out of the shower all the sudden I
hear knocking on the door. Who could that be? It’s 9 o’clock… My dad is gone and so is my brother? People Walk in and say “Victoria” any normal teen girl would be freaked out right…but no not me I knew that voice it was Jake my boyfriend’s best friend. Jake shouted “Chris and I are hanging out with you!” Excitement jumped inside of me. What should I do? I have no makeup on and I just got dressed into my pajamas! .One minute I yelled down the stairs. Throwing a bunch of my make up on and quickly getting dressed,without hesitating I walked down the stairs all calm as if nothing happened.

When I saw Jake my face lit up “could he see that?” You see me and Jake go pretty far back we use to have a thing when we were in grade school he texted the first time he saw me and said I was cute! Yes cute, we talked for a while on and off, and then in the beginning of the year he came over with his friend and my neighbor. it’s weird to have a crush on your boyfriends best friend. My boyfriend Chris he is nothing compared to that handsome man Jake. There was many quality’s that Jake had that I wish Chris would have I could go on.. Anyways (back to the story) where was I...Oh yah! So I welcomed them both in... We had laughs and we played Wii and talked but, something weird happened as we were playing Wii.. Jake pulled me down to sit next to him! It was pretty cute... I considered on what Chris thought but of course Jake didn’t let me go I think he thought it was a joke...By the end of the night my head was spinning with confusion. Did I love Chris or did I love his best friend this all sounded so crazy until later that night when Jake texted me things got even crazier. My feelings got deeper for Jake but, I couldn’t tell anyone what about Chris’s feelings.. What would people think..?It may not seem like it but I’m really insecure about myself just like any teen girl would be, But I was way worse I swear! We talked for a few days over txt until about maybe a week later, Checking my news fee on Facebook a message popped up from Chris I was surprised.. I wanted to break up with him for Jake... I could not say that! He would be crushed I still cared for him but more of the brother sisterly love it was weird dating your brother more I thought about it…ekk bad thoughts..So I typed back to Chris and this is what happened…

V: Hey
C: what’s up?
V: Not a lot just on Facebook what about you?
C: Thinking..
V: what about? Would you like to share?
C: not really..
V mhmm is everything okay?
C:I guess.. I don’t know I just got off the phone with Ashley
V: Ohh..Who is that?
C:Just a friend…
V: just a friend? Like that other Victoria girl? She’s “just” a friend?
C: yeah a friend.. And don’t tell me about trust... I don’t trust you either
V: Why Do you not trust me?
C: I don’t know…
V” Obviously well I don’t trust you and you don’t trust me so..
C: we should break up
V: really? Wait seriously…. Why? We had 1 little fight..?
(I was extremely happy... mean right..? I couldn’t sound that way through the messages..)
C: Yeah sorry…
V: Okay bye?

I logged off…I thought about it was I happy? Or relived I felt every emotion at once... At least I still had someone to talk to. One thing incredible happened that night.. Jake told me he broke up with his girlfriend. Was it for me? I thought... I kind of felt bad…Not for a long time though Jake lifted my sprit up once again. He defiantly made me feel as if I was in a fairy tale..Until the next night I found out he lied to me... I was so mad... How could he hurt me like that play me?! I was no toy I didn’t even want to talk to him...Yet again Jake texted me again and said how sorry he was… and that he just didn’t have a chance to tell her yet, Jake poured hit heart out to me saying how beautiful I was and he would never lie to me again. Sure I have heard this before. But things happen for a reason. “Could it really be that I’ve meet the one guy that would be faithful to me?”Of course I forgave him and said its all okay.

Finally the next day at school I overheard Chris and Julia talking (Jakes girlfriend) Chris said , Jake wanted me to show you this (shows a txt from Jake)Julia looked so hurt..Guilt reached me. They only dated for a week or so ? Could she really be that hurt…? I’m sorry Julia… (inside head) Chris walked away and Julia stood there then smiled and walked down the stairs uhh.. Maybe she’s a good actor or she really did not care at all. School went good for the rest of the day it flew past just like the week.

Late Sunday night after, getting out of the shower. I checked my phone I received a text message from.. CHRIS?! What nauh.. No no no no he told me how stupid he was to move on and he missed me? No no no and guess who was almost stupid enough to fall for it.. Yah this girl right here . I texted Jake I told him that I think I want to get back together with Chris “I so felt bad for Chris that why.. “ Not because I “love” him not because he means the world to me.. No way could I leave Jake in the rain like that!
V: I’m so so so sorry I do not want to get back together with Chris that was so stupid of me... Can you forgive me please I really like you.

J: then why did you?
V: I thought I still cared for him I know I don’t...
J: You like me a lot still?
V: never stopped (:
J: Does this mean?
V: yes, I’m ready to be your girl.

As I was waiting for a respond I was sitting on my bathroom floor smiling on how proud I was on talking a step farther in my life. My phone vibrated so loud it scared it me.
J: Victoria, Will you go out with me?
V: What took you so long?
J: so what’s your answer?
V: obviously a YES! Jake I will go out with you.

So my name is Victoria and I found out who was my true love on the night that boy that barged into my house yes, I love him! I would have never figured that we would be meant for each other 10 years later and we are happily together..Who would have thought that middle school sweethearts would get married yah married we had the perfect wedding. First though let me tell you about how we got engaged!

It was the day before my birthday, and I had just got home from work and was trying to get ready but feeling frustrated that I wasn't going to look good, and was basically having a heart attack. Jake tld me to go an open my presents since he was in work at 8 am the next day and I wouldn’t get them until later in the day. I went into the lounge and he had put some music on, which is actually the song we wanted as our "first dance" song I opened the bag and pulled out the present I knew it was the book he had bought me, and went straight for the big box at the bottom. I opened it and inside was an Teddy Bear (something he has bought me throughout our relationship) with a bow around it’s hands holding a engagement ring and as i turned round he was down on one knee and asked me the important question, "Will you marry me?" I threw the Bear and ring over my shoulder (onto the sofa) and gave him a huge hug and said “Yes!”

What about the wedding ? Ok well it was the day we got together the 21st of November and it was in Florida somewhere he loved! It was on the beach warm and amazing! I’m not going to go into detail because, trust me it would take ages. But it was for sure the best night of my life. Everybody thought that “o they are too young to know what love is” We proved them wrong we are still going strong. But I have something to tell you. Never doubt love always believe in your heart it will guide you too the right place. If a relationship breaks smile and say its okay because one day you will thank them and say “I’m glad we aren’t together or I wouldn’t be in the persons arms I’m suppose to be in.”
