You always longed for Ellie. You loved watching her at every game, seeing her practice soccer, watching her walk down the hallways. You simply admired her silently. Your heart would race when she glanced your way, even if you knew she didn't do it on purpose.

And when she started dating Betty, a pretty and fun girl, your heart broke. You knew you could never have Ellie, but seeing her with someone else ended up shattering you. Then August came, and so did the summer.

You started working at the town mall and realized Ellie did too. You decided to muster all the courage you had and began to slowly approach her. And right now, you were in front of Ellie, driving your parents' car, her shift had ended.

"Get in the car," you dared to say to her, trying to appear nonchalant even though you could feel your hands shaking on the steering wheel. In reality, you hadn't talked much since the summer began, but there you were, making an impulsive decision.

I remember thinkin' I had you.
