The office was cold, I sat down in a chair farthest away from her desk. I looked down, not

wanting to make eye contact with her.


"Well, you know why you're here" she said smoothly, in her therapist voice.

"Yeah" i spit out, trying to keep my voice level unsucessfully.

"Well, i'm going to need you to start from the beginning." she said, i could sense a hint of
impatience in her voice.

"No, we'll get to the beginning later." I replied urgently, still my voice uneven and shaking.

"Okay, can you please start from where ever is comfortable for you, i am here to help you."

I took in a deep breathe,
"Over the summer of 2008 i went to a bible camp for the second time, the first time my
friend told me to go, and i got my poor young heart broken by a little blonde boy. But i had
known no heartbrek yet."  I looked up breafly, to see her staring at my shoes. They weren't anything fancy that i can remember. an old pair of sneaker with a bible verse written on the toe. I continued. "Now this second year i went, on the third day about, the camp beind approximately seven days long i met a boy named Jack, Jack was wonderful. He still is. He was kind to me, and gladly let me join him and his gang in some volleyball, though i dont believe in love atfrist sight i do believe in true friendship at first conversation. Jack and i hit it off, by the end of the week i was in love with everything about it, from is dorky attitude and fetish for zombies, to his kind eye's, and understand ways. He treated me liike no other boy ever had. After the end of camp we went our seperate ways, just to find no distance could seperate us, we dated for many months, to this day my longestrelationship. We talked on the phone every night for atleast 2 hours, everyday i waited at his bus stop just to say goodmorning, and good evning. a quick hug lasted me through the days. we kissed twice, thogh our face time was scares it was wonderful when it happened." I let out a sigh, accidentally. i was remembering us. How i just ignored ll around me. Then i sharp, memory came back.
 "On New Years, at 11:58 he asked me if we could pretend it was midnight. i said yes."
