He had first seen a painting of the blonde hair cheerleader with bright golden hair and emerald green eyes reaching out for something, a scared look on her face.
Perhaps that's when he knew that he had to protect the blonde cheerleader with his life, to protect her from whoever wanted to eat her brain out.
Honestly he found it silly that he would give his life for a girl that he had never met, and he knew silently that his brother would never understand.
The girl that was supposed to safe wasn't quite the person he thought it would be; he thought it would be the girl in the glass case receiving an award for rescuing a man from the fire, when in reality it was the girl who he had bumped into who had a sad little smile on her face, and honestly he thought she was beautiful. Not particularly in the same way he thought Simone was beautiful, because he has always loved her, but just beautiful.
He can slightly recall the thoughts he had, wishing that it was this girl who he had to save and not the girl in the glass cabinet.
It honestly didn't take long for him to fall in love with the cheerleader after spending most of his time with her, especially after he caught Simone cheating on him with Isaac.
One day, as they lay in his bed she had questioned softly when exactly he had fallen in love with her, and he smiled slightly and answered, 'When I saw the painting of you in Isaac's loft.'
