You were in love with Joey Lynch. There was no doubt about it, but your friends, your parents and most kids at school told you to steer clear of Joey. But you've never been particularly good at listening so you didn't steer clear, not at all. You stuck by his side through everything, through every battle he had to fight. He wasn't just the love of your life, he was your best friend too.

When your parents noticed your attachment to Joey, they decided to take it upon themselves to get you a reasonable boy to date. Their logic was that if you started dating the nice boy sitting at the dining table, you'd get over Joey. It wouldn't work. It was pointless.

Nathan followed you outside as you lead him to the backyard. Your parents had insisted on the two of you getting to know each other. As you were seated on the bench in the garden, you felt Nathan slowly inching towards you. You didn't pay it any mind as you saw the familiar blonde stalk into your backyard after sneaking through your neighbours yard.
