Chapter Eighty-Three

The day is finally here! Sidney comes back today. Its already the second week of September. Classes are in full swing and so is soccer. My coaches decided that I don’t need to be redshirted, so I am playing. Actually, I am starting. We have only had two games, but none of that really matters. Sidney is coming back today! Nothing could be better then this moment, I am so excited. A little nervous to see him again because I haven’t seen him in so long, but so excited regardless! I was going to go pick him up from the airport right after class. This past month has been torture. I think its funny when people say oh, its only a month how hard can it be? You would be surprised. Sidney and I are not only best friends, we are soul mates. He is the love of my life, imagine not being able to look at the love of your life in the eyes for a month. Imagine not being able to run your hands through their hair. Imagine forgetting their smell. Imagine forgetting the way they feel when you touch them, or the way you feel when he touches you. It is more than not being able to kiss him, it goes deeper than that. Every little thing I want Sidney to know about and its hard having to call him. Its hard going from being with him constantly to not being with him at all. People say well don’t you talk? Of course we talk! We talk so much on the phone that is annoys the people near us, but its not the same. Yes, I don’t forget the sound of his voice but I haven’t been able to feel his arms around me. I haven’t been able to see him sleep. There are little things that just add up to monumental things. I know that when he comes back, we won’t be together constantly. But, I can’t even describe how comforting it is to know that he is only a short drive away. As corny as it sounds, when you love someone it truly is like a part of your soul is missing when they aren’t with you. I never realized how deep our love was until the summer. When I am not with him, I literally hurt.

As soon as I saw him walk off the plane, my heart melted. He looked so good. I couldn’t wait to wrap my arms around him and give him a kiss.

“I guess you missed me?” He asked after we hugged and kissed and just looked at eachother for what seemed like hours.

“Shut up!” I said and kissed him again.

“So when is your next soccer game?” He asked me while walking out of the airport hand in hand.

“In three days.” I simply said.

“Good, I’m going.” He said.

“You don’t have too.”

“Of course I do! You are my girlfriend, I want to see you kick ass on the field. Plus, once hockey starts up for real it will be hard.” He said.

“I love you.” I said smiling at him.

“I love you too, baby.” He said kissing the hand he was holding.

“So what do you want to do?” He asked once we got into the car.

“be with you.”I simply said.

“Besides that.” He said.

“What do you mean? That’s all I want.”

“Dinner? Movie? Studying, what?”

“I definitely don’t want to study the first night together. Dinner sounds good. I guess you want to stay at Mario’s tonight?”

“Probably should.” He said and I guess my face fell.

“With you, of course.” He said.

“I missed you so much.” I said.

“I know, I like counted down the days.. I can’t believe its finally here.” He said.

“I know, its surreal.” I said just staring at him. Its weird to say but I did forget how good looking he was. For so long I couldn’t wait for this day and it was weird that it was here. I loved him so much it scared me. It scared me how much it hurt not to be with him. It scared me how happy I was to see him again. This whole relationship scares the hell out of me, I am not going to lie. I never thought I would completely trust someone as much as I do with Sidney. I love him and I don’t ever see that changing which scares me.

Chapter Eighty-Two

“Hey, babe.” I said when I got home and calling Sidney.

“How’s Simon?” he asked me.

“Fine.”

“How was soccer?” He asked.

“Sidney, don’t act like this.”

“I’m not acting like anything.”

“Yes you are. Soccer was brutal. I don’t know how I am going to make it through this week. But, the bigger question is why you are mad at me?”

“I’m not mad at me. I am simply upset that my girlfriend is thousands of miles away. I’m upset because I miss her more than humanly possible. I’m upset because I am not with her but she is with her ex boyfriend.”

“Did you get my letter?” I asked.

“Yeah.”

“Then read it again and stop being stupid.” I said.

Sid,

I love you. And I miss you. Anything else that I could possibly say to you isn’t nearly as important at those two simple sentences. Life sucks sometimes and I’m often scared of what lies ahead for us, but I know that nothing could pull us apart. No man could ever capture my heart the way you did. You have my heart, completely and undeniably. You probably are wondering why I am telling you this, but it seems pretty common to express these feelings when we are so far away from eachother. Though, I know I will doubt you sometimes and I know that sometimes I will question girls throwing themselves at you and you may doubt me spending time with Simon or Connor, me and you.. we are forever. This won’t go away easily. I love you and I miss you.

PS. I don’t really like writing these letters because its like me telling you I love you in like hundred different ways. I know that its necessary sometimes, but a simple I love you should do the trick. So I love you.

Forever plus Eternity xoxo

“Did you read it?” I asked after about five minutes of silence on the phone.

“Yes.”

“And what did it say?”

“That you love me and nothing could tear us apart.” He said.

“Exactly. So yes, I spent the day with Simon. Yes, we dated. Yes, we had sex. But, no I don’t love him. No, I would never think about being with him over you. NEVER!” I said.

“Okay..”

“Sidney, all we did was lay around. I was tired, I iced my knee. He supplied the ice. If you were around, I wouldn’t have been there.”

“Exactly, Jo. If I was around.. but I’m not.”

“Sidney, I love you. Deal with it.” I said and hung up the phone.

“I can’t believe you hung up on me.” He said about five seconds later.

“You are being a jerk. I don’t know how to tell you any other way to tell you that I love you and you are the only person I want to be with. I don’t know how this is going to work if saying I love you isn’t enough anymore.”

“Its enough. Okay, I just miss you.”

“And I miss you but I’m not jumping down your throat.” I said.

“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I just miss you.”

“And I miss you. I’ll call you later tonight.” I said.

“Is it sad that this is my favorite part of the day?” I asked lying in bed with Sidney on the other end of the phone.

“What is?”

“Just lying here pretending that you are with me. I like just knowing that we are both in bed. I wish you were beside me but its comforting to be able to just hear you breathe.” I said.

“I know. But it is killing my bank account by sleeping with you by phone.” He said.

“Good thing that bank account is pretty full.” I said laughing. We do this every night since we have been apart. We just stay on the phone while we are sleeping. Its comforting.

“Do you think this is as good as it gets?” I asked him after about twenty minutes of just listening to him breathe.

“No, but it wouldn’t be bad if it was.” He said.

“Sidney, I miss you.” I whispered.

“I know.”

“No, I miss you so much that it hurts.” I said crying a little.

“Joey, don’t cry.” He said.

“I just don’t like this. I know this is how we are. I know that we spend more time apart than a normal couple, but it doesn’t make it easier.”

“No one said it would be easy, but the alternative is not being with you.. and that’s not an alternative for me.”He said.

“I love you.. and I love that we are dorks.” I said smiling.

“babe, you have practice early tomorrow, lets just go to sleep.”

“Okay, night.. I love you.” I said.. putting the phone beside me on the pillow and closing my eyes. Sometimes I wake up and just listen to the phone to hear him breathe. I know you are going to think we are crazy. Jacob walked in once and said we were. But no one can understand. We don’t do this when he has games and we only did it a few times before I left Canada, but it helps. It helps being able to hear him. It helps knowing where he is, and it sounds crazy but its comforting.

Chapter Eighty-One

The next day was the start of soccer. We were conditioning and whatnot. I was kind of worried about it, because it was still up in the air if I would play this year. It was up in the air and I was still unsure if I even wanted to play. I knew I would play, I knew Sidney wanted me too, but I also knew playing would cut down the limited time Sidney and I have together. The only good thing in playing was that my best friend, Sophie, played too. And of course Simon plays on the boys team, and he is one of my best friends too. Simon was my best friend and I know Sidney knew that, but I’m sure it hasn’t escaped his mind that at one time in my life I did pick Simon over him. Looking back I’m not really sure what I was thinking when I made that decision.

“that sucked.” I said walking out of the lockerroom with Sophie.

“Yeah, you held up better than me.” She said.

“Yeah right!”

“You definitely looked good, Jo. I think they are definitely going to let you play.” She said.

“Really?” I asked shocked.

“Yeah, you looked really good. You are by far one of the best players. I guess you worked out in Canada?” She asked. Sophie and I hadn’t really talked much since I left. I never told her or anyone else, but I did find it a little strange that she was dating my brother. I didn’t at first, I thought it would be great. But, it wasn’t. Its kind of like now she isn’t going to be on my side. I feel like I can’t just talk to her like I use too because she has the right to tell her boyfriend things, but I don’t want my brother to know stuff. She is definitely still my best friend and I love her to death and I would never wish her and Jake to break up, but things between her and I could never be the way they were because her loyalties lie with someone else now.

“Yeah, Sidney and I ran together a lot. I would work out with him somedays. Not as long as he would, obviously. He is crazy. He has an insane work schedule.” I explained.

“Yeah, I could only imagine. When does he come back?” She asked.

“Beginning of September.” I said.

“Oh that’s not that bad.” She said.

“Not that bad, but still bad enough.” I said giving a little laugh.

“Hey, Jo!” I heard Simon said from behind me. I stopped to let him catch up to us.

“Hey, when did you get in town?” I asked. I knew he would be back, the boys started today too but I figured it would tell me.

“Two days ago.”

“And this is the first time we are seeing eachother?!” I asked shocked.

“Sorry.” He said giving me a hug. I just gave him a look.

“you should come to the house so we can hang out.” He said. I looked at Sophie because I was her ride back to my house. She was basically living there with Jake.

“I’ll just take your car.” Sophie said.

“oh yeah that works.” I said.

“Yeah, I’ll take you home.” Simon said and then Sophie headed to where we parked the car. Simon and I headed to the soccer house.

“I’m so tired.” I said plopping down on the couch.

“Me too.” He said.

“I can’t wait to do it all over again tomorrow, and the next day after that and after that.”

“Gotta love soccer.”He said laughing.

“You can’t say you love it after this.” I said.

“I do and so do you.” He said.

“Yeah, I know.. So how was going back home to London?” I asked him. I talked to Simon probably more than I talked to Sophie while I was in Canada, but you have to realize that I hurt both Simon and Sidney last year. I hurt Simon when I picked Sidney and it took us awhile to get to where we are today, and I hurt Sidney more than I could ever imagine. They both probably don’t like thinking about me with the other. Simon is more use to it since its not going to change, but still. While I was in Canada, I tried to talk to Simon but still he doesn’t want to hear about every little thing that I would do with Sidney. Its not like I want to rub it in, even if the wound isn’t fresh.

“It was good. I briefly got back together with Kylie.” He said.

“What? I thought you guys were done?!” I said confused. Kylie and Simon dated while in high school in London. They dated on and off, basically while he was in the UK he would date her but once he got to the US he wouldn’t. It was a weird situation but Simon insisted last year that never again would he be with Kylie again.

“It was a lapse in judgement. It lasted for like a month.” He said laughing.

“I will never understand you.” I said and then my phone rand. It was Sidney.

“Hey.” I said answering my phone.

“Hey babe. What are you doing?!” He asked.

“I was at soccer and then now I am at Simons just catching up.” I said.

“Oh.” He simply said. I could tell he didn’t like thinking about it.

“Can I call you later? Probably like an hour or so?” I asked.

“That’s fine.” He simply said.

“K, love you.” I said. He didn’t say anything he just hung up the phone. I tried not to think too much of it, but when your relationship is solely based on emails and letters and phone calls, you tend to read into things.

“Sidney is mad?” Simon asked.

“I don’t know. He is probably just tired or in a bad mood or something. I don’t know.” I said again.

“So you two are good then?” He asked.

“Yeah, we are really good. Its been hard.”

“Yeah well obviously.”

“We write emails daily and we will send letters. I actually just sent him a letter today, so he should be getting it in a few days. Then we talk on the phone every night and text or whatnot.” I explained.

“It seems like you guys are good then.”

“Yeah, but its still hard not seeing him. I mean to go from living with him for a month to not even seeing him once a week is weird.” I said.

“he will be back sooner than you think.”

“Yeah and soccer will be in full swing. Then he goes to Europe for like two weeks for hockey. Then hockey is completely in full swing. Its never ending.” I said.

“Your relationship seems impossible.” He said shaking his head.

“On paper our relationship seems impossible, but it just feels right. You know?”

“Yeah.. I didn’t mean anything by it. I mean it seems impossible but you guys are perfect together.” He said trying to defend himself.

“I know you didn’t mean anything by it. But you are right, if you would explain to someone our situation no one would think it would work.. but somehow it does.” I said.

“Do you ever worry that the will cheat on you?”

“What?!” I said completely shocked that he would ask this kind of question.

“I just mean you hear about hockey players cheating on their wives and stuff.”

“I’m sure some of his teammates cheat on their girlfriends and wives, but would Sidney? No.” I said.

“But hasn’t he before.”

“Yeah, but I also told him I didn’t want a boyfriend and I started dating you. Sidney and I have gone through everything together. We have both been on the wrong side of things. Has Sidney cheated on me before? Not technically. We weren’t exclusive or he broke up with me before he started being with Brittany. It doesn’t even cross my mind that Sidney would cheat on me. Its actually the last thing I would worry about when he leaves.” I explained.

“And that’s how you know that you two are the real thing.” He said.

“Shut up, Simon!” I said.

Chapter Eighty

“Jo, come here!” Jacob called to me from his room.

“I’ll be there in a few.” I said grabbing my laptop and signing into my mail. I had only just left Sidney yesterday. We talked on the phone already.

“Here, Jo. Mail.” Jason said throwing me a letter. I was really confused because I had just seen Sidney yesterday. There was no way he could mail me a letter already.

Babe,

So you are probably wondering how I sent you this letter, well you are actually sitting outside reading one of those stupid Twilight books as I am writing this. I know you just love Edward, but you will still have to explain that to me. I wanted to write you a letter so you could get it when you got home.

Joey, I had the best time with you here with me. I knew it would be fun and amazing, but not in my wildest dreams did I think it would be this good. It just reaffirmed that I want to spend my life with you. I loved every minute of it, and I know you are worried about everything. I know you are worried about Pittsburgh and it will be different. It is going to be different because we aren’t going to be together under the same roof. We both have our lives in Pittsburgh and as much as we want to think that our lives are with eachother, we have separate ones too. I just don’t want you to ever doubt that just because we are a part, that means that we love eachother less. I know its hard for you when I am on an away trip, or when you see the girls standing around me. I know it must be frustrating to be dating me, but I do love you and I appreciate you standing by me. I’m sorry for what my profession has done and will do to our relationship, but you are way too important to me to make it an excuse. So yes, things will be different in Pittsburgh because you are at school and I am at Marios, but it won’t be like that forever. Our time will come to be together in every sense.

I’m watching you write now read, and I’m just trying to get that image burned into my brain. I don’t want to miss you when you leave but I know its inevitable. I miss you when you are just a room away and I know that I am a dork for saying it. I know that I say corny things a lot, but I feel like sometimes I don’t tell you enough. You are beautiful and I love everything about you. Thank you for staying with me this summer. Thank you for loving me. I love you and just thinking about you leaving is making my heart hurt. I’ll see you sooner rather than later. Write to me soon.

Forever + Eternity

Sidney xx

Of course while I am reading this, I am crying. It was so sweet that he would think to write me a letter so I would get it so soon. It was a nice pick me up. I almost forgot he wrote me an email too.

I just found one of your Twilight books in the guest room. You know I miss you when I miss hearing you gush over a vampire. I mean seriously, why is Edward so amazing? Can he ice skate? Can he score on a break away? I don’t think so! He wants your blood.. atleast I don’t want that. I could go for something else though.. too bad you are so far away. Well babe, just wanted to tell you that I love you and miss you. Don’t go falling for any vampires while I’m gone. Oh wait, they aren’t real! Thank god for that! Remember, Forever plus eternity still wouldn’t be long enough.

Miss you <3

First of all, I can’t believe I forgot a book at your house! Second, Edward could probably do those things because he is amazing as well. However, I do still love you even though you aren’t a vampire. I found a way to look past it. I just read your letter that you wrote me. You are the sweetest boyfriend ever. I think that just gave you points to surpass Edward. Go you!! Hey, maybe if you get bored you could read twilight, get some romantic ideas! Just kidding, you are romantic enough. Well I miss you and Sam. Go fishing and have fun. I’m scared to start soccer tomorrow, I know I am being stupid. Well I’m going to go write you a letter. Love you.

Forever plus eternity xoxo

I love you.

I love you too, but usually there is a reason why you are saying that?

Shut up, Sidney! I got your letter and email. You are so sweet. I think I like email better because snail mail really is snail mail.

So you aren’t writing me a letter?

Of course I am writing you a letter, its just I prefer emailing you. Its fun to make fun of you in print.

Yeah, because making fun of me over the phone just isn’t enough fun.

True, Sidney.. very very true.

Jo, I miss you.

I know. Its harder than I thought and its only been two days.

I know.

Its just it feels like we keep getting closer and stronger, every time we are a part it hurts worse.

I know. I’ll call you later. I’m out on a boat with my dad. Love you.

Okay.. have fun.. love you <3

“What did you want Jacob?” I said finally making it to his room.

“What were you doing?” He asked.

“Sidney sent me a letter and an email, so I was reading them.”

“Oh God.” He said.

“What?” I said confused.

“Not only is he Sidney Crosby, he also is like the perfect boyfriend.. its kind of gross.” He said.

“Shut up!”

“I like the guy and I’m glad that you two are together, obviously.. but he just makes it so harder for the rest of mankind!” Jacob said in all sincerity.

“You are just so funny, Jake! Go write Sophie a letter. She will be so surprised that you even know how to write!” I said leaving the room.

“That was a good one, Jo.” He said and I just started laughing and walking down the hall.

this week has been crazy busy! I will hopefully get an update up on Wednesday and keep them coming. Hope all is well and the hockey season is coming quickly!! God Bless <3

Chapter Seventy-Nine

“I don’t want to leave.” I said with tears rolling down my face looking up at Sidney. We were standing in the airport, I was about to leave.

“Baby, of course I don’t want you to leave either.” He said wiping a tear from my face.

“I can’t leave you.” I said crying some more and hugging him.

“I will be back in a month. Then we can be together.” He whispered in my ear.

“I know, I’m just scared.” I said looking up at him.

“Don’t be. I love you and that’s what matters. We will talk everyday and I will miss you everyday. I love you and 4 silly weeks is not going to change that.” He said.

“Promise?” I asked.

“Of course, I promise. I love you.” He said giving me a kiss.

“You better go.” He said. We kissed again.

“I love you.” I said and turned away to walk toward the plane.

I miss you already.

Sidney, I love you. I will text you as soon as we are allowed to use phones. My heart already hurts : (

This is going to sound stupid, but this is the first time I have wished I wasn’t going to Pittsburgh.

Jo, I will be there soon.

Not soon enough.

You will have soccer and Simon and Sophie.

It doesn’t matter who I have, I just want you.

You are too cute. No panic attacks yet?

I think my heart is hurting too much to actually care that I am flying.

Oh well atleast there is one positive

Oh yeah! Its awesome!

I’m writing you a letter.

Shut up, Sid. You are not.

I am. Its our thing, so I figured this month we will write letters. You say things in letters you would never say to me, I like it.

Why do you like reading things I write so much?

Because when you write, you don’t think. When I read something that you have written, I have a better glimpse of your soul.

When you get back, I want to play hockey with you and Jake.

You will be playing soccer.

We don’t know that yet.

I do, your knee is fine. I can’t wait to come and wear my RMU attire and cheer on my girlfriend.

You are a dork.

I may be a dork, but you love me.

Cause I am a dork too. Is Jack nursing your heart back to health?

Jack is still sleeping. Its ridiculous, I don’t even want to know why he is still sleeping.

He is too much.

Yeah, babe I’m going to go work out. Text me or call me as soon as you land. I love you and I miss you.

I love you too.

When we stopped texting, tears started to fall again. I knew Sidney and I would be okay. I knew our relationship was stronger than it has ever been.

Hey, Jo. Remember forever plus eternity still wouldn’t be enough. Just remember that when you are doubting us.

Go work out! I will talk to you soon. Loves.

I know that he is the love of my life. I know that everything will be fine, but right now, it doesn’t feel like it. It doesn’t feel like anything will be fine again.

Please Comment :(
No one seems to be commenting which makes me think people are over this story which kind of breaks my heart a little, but i will get over it. Comment just tell me if you are over it or still read it or anything really.

Chapter Seventy-Eight.

“Jo, hows my boy?” Army came over a little later sitting down beside me.

“Army!!” I said jumping up and hugging him.

“Well how is living together?” He asked me.

“Its been good so far. I am leaving in two days, which is kind of awful. But its Sidney’s favorite day, I mean the boy is pretty much obsessed with 87 so.” I said smiling.

“Very true.” He said.

“ You better go spend some time with him. I don’t want him to saying that I stole you away from him!” I said laughing.

August 8

“So baby, how was your birthday?” I said laying on the couch after everyone left.

“It was good.”

“good? Just good?” I asked.

“It was really good. It was awesome with everyone here.” He said giving me a kiss.

“Did you like Jack?” He asked me.

“I liked him.” I said and he just looked at me.

“It was just a lot of fun seeing you guys together.” I said.

“Did you have fun?” He asked.

“I have fun because you had fun.” I said smiling and reaching for his hand.

“I love you, you know that?” He asked.

“I think I heard that a time or two.” I said smiling and kissing his neck.

“I’m going to miss this so much.” He said sitting up and putting his head in his hands.

“Babe, whats wrong?” I asked sitting up and putting my hand on his back.

“I don’t want you to leave.” He said leaning back on the couch.

“I don’t want too either, babe. Of course I don’t.” I said leaning back too.

“How’s it going to be when we get back to Pittsburgh?” He asked.

“Its going to be fine.” I said.

“We aren’t going to see eachother that much.”

“We will see each other almost everyday. And we will talk all the time. Okay, anytime you want to see me, I will be at Mario’s.” I said.

“You have soccer and you have class.” He said.

“And you have hockey. Baby, don’t worry. I love you that’s all the matters.” I said.

“Really? Because we always love eachother and we still break up.”

“The past is the past, Sidney. Leave it at that. If you want it to work, we will make it work. I love you and lets just have one more good night together.” I said.

“I know, I’m sorry. I just love you and I don’t like to think about going back.” He said putting his arm around me.

“Going back doesn’t mean this has to end. But you better make it to atleast one soccer game.” I said.

“Are you redshirting?” He asked.

“They are going to decide after training camp. I think I might be able to play.” I said.

“Well if you can play, I will be at all the games I can.” He said kissing my forehead.

“I know you are worried that we aren’t going to be okay, and usually I am the one worried. But, don’t be worried, Sidney. Don’t be, you don’t have to be. I love you and if anything comes in the way of being with you, I will cut it out of my life. You are the single most important thing to me, know that.” I said.

“Look at you be the confidant one.” He said laughing.

“I know, changing the pace a little bit.” I said hitting him a little.

“So what do you want to do tonight?” He asked me.

“Be with you sounds good to me.” I said smiling.

“I think if someone just listened to our conversation, they would think we were so corny.” He said laughing.

“I like corny. It fits us, we are just two dorks that fell in love.” I said kissing him.

“So you love me?” He asked a few minutes later pulling away from me.

“Way to ruin the moment!” I said getting up.

short post.

Jack and Sidney were hysterical together. It was so funny to see them together. I couldn’t wait to see those two plus Army all in the same room. It was great to see Sidney just having fun and being a kid. It was those moments, I was sure no one in the world was more in love than I was with him.

“So you are the girl who keeps breaking my boy’s heart?” Jack said when he first met me.

“I think it might be the other way around.” I said smiling.

“I have heard all about you!” He said.

“I’m sure its not true. Sidney likes to exaggerate.” I said.

“He did tell me that if I found a girl like you, I would want to settle down too.” Jack said.

“Its true. You will see.” Sidney said.

“Stop Sidney. I want to hear about little Sidney at Shattucks! The only boy I know is this hot shot in Pittsburgh.” I said when we sat on the couch.

“Oh, Sidney was always a hot shot.. well atleast in his mind.” Jack said.

“Not true! You had more girlfriends than I ever had!” Sidney said.

“You had Sam.” Jack said.

“Oh yes, Sam.. how could we forget her?” I asked.

“Way to go Jack!” Sidney said.

“Sorry, didn’t realize that it was a sour subject. Don’t you have old boyfriends?” Jack asked.

“Oh yes, she also has boys that currently want to be with her. She also has boys that she left me for.” Sidney said.

“Totally different, because you know all those boys! And lets not talk about Brittany!” I said.

“Brittany.. she sounded like a character. Would have loved to meet her!” Jack said.

“Oh I’m sure she will show up uninvited. She is kind of a creeper.” I said.

“Be nice, Jo.” He said.

“I’m always nice, babe.” I said smiling.

Later that night, Jack came over to me while Sidney was with some of his other friends.

“Hey, Jo.” He said.

“Hey, Jack. I’m glad you are here for Sidney.” I said smiling.

“You two are good together. I can see why he loves you so much.” Jack said.

“Oh I’m sure..”

“No, seriously. I have heard of you for three years and I never really understood what it was between you two, but now I do.” He said.

“Well thanks.” I said smiling.

“You probably shouldn’t smile at boys because they may just fall in love with you.” He said getting up and walking away.
