Garfield couldn't believe his eyes, he was only three but he knew that the girl who had walked into his classroom was beautiful. And he instantly wanted to put a smile on her shy face

It was the first time he talked to her and it gave him butterflies in the pit of his stomach "Be my friend?" that was the first time anyone had made her smile.

They were around at Garfield house for a play date when he told her exactly what he thought of her

"You know you're my best friend? And you're pretty and really nice. I'm gonna marry you when were older."

"Okay. We'll be married and live in a big white house with yellow shutters, a puppy, and one day the stork will bring us some children…. Have you seen my colouring book?"

Rachel and Garfield were sitting together on the bus on their way to their new school.

"Wow we're almost there at secondary school!"

"I know Rae. I'll still carry your books though and I'll still walk you to school."

"Don't call me Rae!"

But she smiled.

"Hey Rae wait for me!" Garfield sprinted down the corridor after her.

She turned around and smiled at him "Come on Gar we're going for pizza! You coming?"

"You know it Rae."

"Come on then"

"Rae?"

"Yes Gar?"

"We're still getting married aren't we?"

"Of course Gar."

They were lying in the field of Daises

"So how are things with Tara?" Her name tasted bitter in Rachel's mouth

"Good. Melchior?" His name tasted sour in Garfield's mouth

"I dumped him."

Garfield sat up and twisted round to look at her

"I just felt like I didn't love him, and he didn't love me enough to stop cheating on me." She told him, a lonely teardrop leaving a stain down her cheek.

"I'm sorry Rae, I didn't tell you, you were just so happy."

"You knew?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry."

"That's okay."

"You knew! You knew and you didn't tell me!" He accused her angrily.

"Gar I'm so sorry! But you were so happy!" she was on her knee's sobbing

"I'm not interested Raven! You knew You did this in revenge! You witch!"

Her Tears dried up and she looked at him angrily. She stood up.

"How dare you! You did the exact same thing to me not even a year ago! And I thought you were my Best friend! You always told me not to let the rumours get to me! I HATE You Garfield Logan I never want to see you again!" And with that she walked angrily out of his life for ten years.

And the day that he graduated was the day he lost his best friend and first and only love. But he realised too late.

"If anyone objects to joining these two people in holy matrimony, then speak now or forever hold their peace."

"Rae Don't do it!" Garfield burst into the church.

Everyone just looked at Garfield.

"Garfield what are you doing here?"

"I came to stop you marrying him! I know it's been ten years but I still love you. I never stopped thinking about you. I always got told about you from Jenny and Wally, and when they told me you were getting married to Rich, five hours I got the first plane over here to stop you. Rae I would do anything for you. Don't you remember when we were kids and I would always tell you that I was gonna marry you when we get older? You can't marry me if you're with him."

Rachel started to walk toward Gar, but Richards hand reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"Rachel what are you doing? You're supposed to be marrying me! This is the most clichéd thing to ever happen."

As he kept on talking his hand kept on tightening and Rachel struggled to make hi let go.

"Richard Stop! You're still in love with Kory, just let me go!" After some hesitation she added

"Oh and this is for hurting me" And with that she flipped him and walked over to Gar. "What did she have in mind?"

He smiled softly and said "well I bought this big white house with Yellow shutters "
