This is my story...

It all started in the year 2005... My life was about to take a big unexpected turn as school beggn.

I made new friends, and lost old ones. Some of my closest friends weren't friends at all, and thouse I misjudged were the ones who stood by me.

It was around november... I was just beggining my jorney in that unexpected world. I've just parted ways with Eddy, a dear friend and boyfriend. Distance was a big obstacle but it wouldnt destroy our bond. Not a day passed without me wondering about what was he doing or if he was happy. But that didn't kept me from trying to see other guys. Nathania, a girl whom I though was a close friend of mine, she got together her supposevly cousin, Taylor Lautner, a famous teen actor, with my best friend Frany, the girl who changed my life.

I was feeling a bit lonely at that time. Frany had someone to care for and Nathania had Mandy. I told Frany how I was feeling, she got me a guy that was interested in me for a while, even if I've never actually met the guy. His name was Jake. Jake was a shy, kind boy. Brown skinned, black smooth hair. dark brown eyes and was a bit thin that usual guys I date. After sometime, he and I started dating, soon after became a couple. I was happy thouse days when I went to school. I had forgotten that my other best friend Nathania didn't know about this. So i decided to tell her about me and my new boyfriend. She looked at me with a smile and then told me he was her cousin. I couldnt believe what she said, but it only made me happier.

After about a month of dating. I was skating with some other friends of mine in San Juan, capital of Puerto Rico. We were playing tag and i was being chased at the time. In my distraction I accidentally crashed into another skater. Heh it was very embarrasing. It felt as if time had slowed down upon me and him. When I crashed into him, he spinned a bit holding onto my arms and fell on top of me. I then realized that he had the most amazing emerald eyes, he was about one of the most handsome and gorgeus man I've seen in my whole life. We both stared at each other for a moment. Until we heard the voices of our friends laughing and asking if we were ok. He helped me up and I apologized in total embarrasment. I could even feel my face being completly red.

Later after that, me and my friends were taking a break, resting on the plains of El Morro, a total tourist attraction. I was lying on the grass just gazing at the blue sky and day dreaming. I was hearing faint voices of my friends speaking to other guys. I felt something just sat down next to me. In that moment i heard a strange voice saying "Hey! You're that girl that crashed with me". Since that day, I wasn't the same person as I was before.

Jake and I broke up at the end of January 2006. In march. I began feeling something a have never felt for anyone in my entire life. Aaron. the boy I met in an epic day, soon became my best friend, and then my boyfriend.

We had our tears and laughs, fights and games. But it all pointed to how crazy we were for each other. One night, I learned many things that weren't good news at all. Nathania had betrayed everything I gave her. My friendship, my trust. Aaron.. well... he was faking everything since we met. It was all planned for some reason. That night, when i discovered about his intensions. I was enraged, upset, and even wanted to kill him. I bumped into him, crashed him into a wall and started to yell at him harder than I ever had to yell at anyone. I had many reasons to do so, but the more I yelled at him, the harder it was to contain my tears. He did not even look at me until i completly broke down. At that moment I held onto him without saying a word. The silence must have hurted him even more on the inside. Even a tear escaped his eyes.

I remember telling him how much I hated him and how much wanted to kill him. But in the silence, he said "Then why don't you kill me already". He handed me a knife. More of his tears started to show as he said for me to kill him with my hatred for what he has done. At that moment, I threw the knife away, punched him on the face and looked straight into his eyes. I've said the one sentence that made me realize what true love really was. I had told him "I love you to much to hate"

Since that day, we became more than boyfriend and girlfriend. We became more closer and a more intimate couple. We didnt had sex though, I was very strict to my belives in abstinence and still am. We even saw each other together living as a family. We never fought again unless it was playfully. Everytime we saw each other again it was as if time was on our side. Everyday was different and more beautifull. I had found my happiness and he had found his. At first i though it was just an early summer love, but deep down I knew it was way more.

At the end of July, he had moved to California. I spent my whole 10th grade sad and thinking of him. I was beggining to realize that how can a 15 year old girl be experiening these feelings that mostly adults feel. I though it was just a fairy tale to have ended along with summer. But as the summer ends, the Holidays begin. On December he came back to me, I was very happy to see him again. But as Christmas grew closer, I noticed sadness on his face. It ment that he wasn't to be long. He was to go back on the 20th to the USA. But he promised me that he would come back for me and run away from the world together, to live happily. And so... he left again.

As a new year began, so did my believes and myself. I grew up even more, I became 16 and 11th grade had begun. He couldn't come this summer. He said he had some family issues.

And so... year 2008... I made new friends, lost old ones, again. But this time, I felt a grave sorrow in my heart. I would be laughing in front of everyone, even my own family. But when night came, I would cry myself to sleep and waited. Waited for him to come... and prayed the Lord to give me patience. I would not normally pray, but I felt if it was the only thing I could do. I was... feeling very hopeless.

In december.. he had called saying that it wasn't for sure that he was gonna come visit me. A week before Christmas he had called again to tell me that he was goint to be able to come back to Puerto Rico to live with his Grandparents and his brothers in order to stay with me. He never said the date he was gonna come. He only said that it was a surprize and it was before New Year.

I waited and waited, and New Year came. I had filled myself up with anger. I have a high temper and a patience that works very randomly. I had gave up on his coming by february. I had though that he was still gonna come before Valentine's day. But the days came and went. I never heard from him again. Until March the 23rd of 2009. His sister had called me. She had told me that Aaron had died in a car crash on his way to the airport and that his brother was heavily injured. Soon after i hung up. I was in shock and wasn't able to cry at all. My tears have all dried up from my impatience for his return.

I was couldn't believe what had happened. And why this curse upon myself. I blamed God and my destiny. But I wasn't sure what was I blaming God for. I never knew if it was because I met him, or because he was taken away from me. In April, i couldn't help myself, suddenly i broke down with a friend of mine. I had told him what had happened. He was almost as shocked as I was. I also cried because I figured that while he was doing all he could to come back for me. I cursed, I cried and I was angry at him. I had been blind.

To this day, March 27, 2009, I still think about him everyday. And I hear his voice in my ear telling me to be happy and that his always with me. But to tell the truth, it's not the same.

My reality is, I'm not even sure if I can even fall in love again. I'm not afraid to, I just can't.

I hope time is enough to heal up these scars. But feels like my time is running out, and my life is still a long way to go.
