Prologue - The Story Of My Life Chapter Text
My heart is calling for him. 'Sauli, where are you? I can't live without you. You are everything to me. Please come back. What am I gonna do without you? Sauli, I'm in love with you. Don't leave without me.'
This is the first and only time I've been in love. I really haven't dated many people. Everyone who I get a crush on is taken by someone else or doesn't feel the same way about me. I've always been different than all the other kids my age. I was the laughingstock back in elementary and middle school. Kids would bully me. It was never physical, but it definitely hurt me mentally. Their crude remarks to the way I dress, who I hang out with, and the way I talk really hurt my self-esteem. I didn't ever expect myself to fall in love with someone. Well, I did and it changed my world around.
Some people don't believe in love at first sight. Yeah, it's not always right. In my situation, I saw it coming before my own eyes. There's always those relationships that sort of spring out from nowhere. My friends relationships are like that. I never would have expected them to be in the relationships they're in. I guess when people hide their feelings, you just might not even realize how they feel for you. I hid my feelings for him as long as I thought was necessary. I didn't want to scare him away. That's what most people think too. Some of the best relationships come from when the two people are really close friends and take it from there. It might not be who you've know the longest, but it could be that way too. We all need that little push to get us to where we want to be. My friends and I all seem to do that. I never expected any of this to happen. Love is taking me and them on a happy journey in life.
