One look was all it took for me. Just one short glance into the bold emerald eyes of his and I was caught. Entrapped in a love that took me completely by surprise. I wasn't ready for the consequences of falling in love with Sam Evans and I certainly wasn't ready for what came next. Sam Evans had to be the most desirable person in the world. He was a walking Adonis with a heart of gold to match. Some thought otherwise, but his impressions only added to his charm and allure. Not every guy needed to be cool and popular. Sam was starting quarterback for the Titans, yes, but his nerdy persona only really came around when in company of the Glee Club. Something about separating the two worlds he was living in. Finn often did the same, but Sam was almost…scared. Like he had demons haunting his mind, stopping him from being himself. I know that something happened to him in his past from the way he acted when certain subjects were brought up. I was the same way. It wasn't hard to figure out that Sam had secrets from his old school, lots of them. What they were, I had no idea. We weren't that close, at the beginning. Then everything spiralled into this epic romance and I had no idea how it had happened. One moment there was me stealing long looks at the man of my dreams from across the room, the next he was looking at me the same way. Some say when you spend enough time around someone, you can learn to love them. Your heart melds into theirs and you feel comforted and safe around them and that blossoms into love. I guess that was what happened to Sam and I. We were nothing and then suddenly we were everything and I couldn't understand how that could be. It all happened so abruptly and there was no way to stop it. We were an asteroid rocketing through galaxies, destined to be set ablaze upon collision, passing only the brightest stars along the way. We somehow became those stars, the one that shone brighter than all the rest. We were a spark in the darkness. We were love.
Occasionally, when two people are lucky enough to find each other, they save each other from themselves. Sam saved me and I saved him. From ourselves. Love works in mysterious ways. I don't know why the stars aligned and caused Sam's heart to call to me, but I'm grateful every day I'm with him that he does. Losing him is not an option. He's my be all and end all in life. Extreme? Quite possibly, but that's the way it is. And nobody can tell me otherwise. Love at first sight never used to exist to me, until Sam. I used to think that the entire concept was insane and that people were fooling themselves by falling for someone upon a first glance, but there was me, falling headfirst for such a beautiful boy, longing for him to love me too. Little did I know that he did. He just hadn't known it then. Time carried us through and time was on our side. Every minute spent with Sam was a minute surrounded by the arms of bliss.
This all sounds like perfection, but the journey was not something to aspire to. Neither of us had the easiest of times in life, but we made it through somehow. For each other. I guess it all started in junior year…
