" I never knew I could love,
I never knew I could sing,
But above all,
You're my everything"
I awoke suddenly with this poem engraved on my heart. What was my dream about? Who was it for? I quickly wrote it down, it could be useful for a class project or helping Andre write a song.
My name is Beck Oliver, I am 18 years old and am a senior at Hollywood Arts Academy. A school for the ambitious, the brave, the daring, and everything else in between.
I've never been in love before. If I told that to my friends they would argue that "Jade's your girl friend, so you have to be in love." The truth is I never viewed her as someone I was in love with. I was in "like" with her, hoping, waiting and praying love would come. But it never did and it still hasn't after two long years of the kissing and the wonderful dates, I still don't "love" her. A good man would probably break up with a girl over this, but I am neither normal or average. I have settled with Jade and I know that, I know deep down I have just become so comfortable I don't want to give dating someone else a chance... Until she waltzed into my life...
She being my best friend, the girl who would turn my senior year into a mad house-Tori Vega. My best friend from elementary school, the girl who's house it literally next door to mine. The girl who used to have sleepovers with me in the fourth grade. We would stay in the RV with my dad.
I remember we stayed up all night in the RV, we were about 10. It was our last sleepover, our parents thought it was getting inappropriate for fourth graders of the opposite gender to have sleepovers. Anyways on our last sleepover in the RV, she brought over her guitar and played cheesy Avril Lavigne songs on it (which I actually liked at the time). After she played the song she asked me, "Beck can you kiss me?"
We were only ten... But instead of saying " ewwww cooties" I actually decided to go through with it.
"Okay Tor-Tor! Any particular reason?"
"Yes, when we get older I want to say my first kiss came from my best friend in the whole world."
Being ten year olds it was cheesy and corny. But I held her chin like I had witnessed on television and we quickly pecked. I actually liked it, maybe not her but kissing.
I started puberty early. At age 11 and me and Tor-Tor didn't hang out as much. She did nails and I played soccer. I acted and she sang. But our families went on vacation together every summer and Christmas break. The Vegas and the Olivers; best friends for life until death due our families part.
It's been 8 years since that kiss, and now I find myself wanting more. Wait what am I saying? I have Jade.
" I never knew I could love,
I never knew I could sing,
But above all,
You're my everything"
