"Jeremy! You will never catch me!" I laughed running through my backyard as Jeremy chased me.

"I'm going to get you Lily!" he said picking up speed. I screamed when I felt him tackle me to the ground and start tickling me. I couldn't breathe I was laughing so much trying to push his hands off me.

"Jer... Jeremy...Stop...Stop you got me!" I manage to get out between laughs. He stops tickling me and lays in the grass next to me as we watch the sky.

"I got you" Jeremy said turning his head to me. I stare into his beautiful brown eyes shining in the sunlight.

"I will win next time" I said stubbornly. He leaned over brushing a piece of hair out of my face and smiling at me.

"What do I get since I won?" he asked me

"What do you want?" I asked him raising an eyebrow.

"A kiss" I was surprised by his request best friends don't kiss.

"What?" I ask him at a loss for words

"Lily you're my best friend I want you to be my first kiss" we had both moved to a sitting position now just looking at each other.

"Won't that make me your girlfriend or something? I don't want to get boy germs" I said with confusion clear on my face.

"What! No it is just a kiss, please Lily" he begged me

"Fine! but I am not your girlfriend Jeremy! One kiss" I said. He started to lean forward and I mimicked his movements closing my eyes till our lips touched. It was quick but it was sweet I felt butterflies in my stomach go crazy when our lips touched.

I wake up from my memory of Jeremy and I we were twelve when we shared our first kiss together. I look out my window to see a really bad storm all I want to do is go to Jeremy apologize and make sure we are okay. I hear a knock at my door before it opens I roll over in my bed to see Tyler leaning against door.

"Yes?" I ask him

"Dad wants to take us out for lunch get up and get dressed" he said. Stretching out my body and walking over to my closet I pick out a pair of jeans and black hoodie to wear. Throwing my hair in a pony tail and a little bit of makeup I meet my dad and Tyler at the car. I kept checking my phone to see if I missed a text or something from Jeremy but so far nothing. Walking into the Grill we run into Anna and her mother I assume.

"Hey Lily, how are you feeling?" Anna asks smiling at me I smile back

"I'm fine thanks... I'll be right back Ty" I said before walking away from the group and into the bathroom. I splash some water on my face, taking out my phone I try to call Jeremy he answers after a few rings.

"Hello" he said

"Hey can I come over?" I ask feeling hopeful

"Now isn't a good time Lily" he said

"Okay uhm how about later we need to talk" I said I hear him let out a sigh

"I know, but I'm busy right now I will call you later" he said and hung up. It hurt he didn't say I love you before he hung up I can't believe he is this mad about it. After a few minutes to myself I walked out of the bathroom and straight into Anna.

"Oh I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention" I said quickly

"It was my fault don't worry about it" she said I shifted a little awkwardly in front of her.

"I'm sorry about how I acted last night I was high sorry if I made you uncomfortable or anything" I said to her

"It's no problem really. So how are you and Jeremy doing?" she asked I raised my eyebrow at her why was she so curious?

"I honestly don't know I think he is still mad and avoiding talking to me. I just don't understand why it's not like he has never done it" I don't know why I was talking to her about it I just had to talk to someone and she was here.

"I'm sure he will get over it" she said. There was an awkward silence between us before I coughed and spoke.

"I'm going to go find Tyler I will see you later" I said before finding Tyler at a pool table "Ty set up a game I want to kick your ass!" I teased

"Oh your on kiddo" he said back. We had been playing for a while and unfortunately Tyler was winning and being smug about it. "Aw Lily don't pout, one day you will be good at this" he said ruffling my hair with his hand I smacked it away.

"Oh shut up!" I said. I noticed Anna had left the Grill and her mother was sitting at a booth talking to my father. "Ty I'm going to head out I need to talk to Jeremy" I told him he nods his head and I left to Jeremy's house. I knocked but got no answer I saw the light in Jeremy's room on that is weird. I turned the handle on the door it was unlocked so I walked in heading up the stairs to his room. When I opened the door my heart stopped at what I saw Jeremy was making out with Anna on his bed.

It felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest that time slowed down I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I ripped the locket he gave me off my neck and threw it at him. When the necklace hit him he pulled away from Anna and looked like a deer caught in the headlights.

"Lily" he said breathlessly.

"Go to hell Jeremy!" I screamed before turning and running out of the house I didn't stop till I reached my home. I slammed the door to room and sank to the floor tears streaming down my face. I threw my phone against the wall when it wouldn't stop ringing I heard it shatter on contact. My balcony doors open and a soaking wet Jeremy walks into my room.

"Get out!" I said to him

"No Lily please let me explain" he said. I laughed at him standing up wiping my tears off my face.

"It was pretty self explanatory Jer! I hope she is worth it because I want nothing to do with you!"

"You don't understand Lily I love you!" he tried to grab my hand but I pushed him back

"Love me? You have a hell of a way of showing it! We have one fight and the next day you jump into bed with another girl! Now get out!" I yelled at him

"Lily please it was a mistake I love you!" he said taking steps closer to me and I back away

"I want you out my house now!" I screamed even louder causing him to flinch away. Before he could respond my door flies open to a very angry Tyler looking between the two of us.

"Fine I'll leave" Jeremy said exiting through the balcony doors. Once he is gone I sink back down to the floor while Tyler holds me as I cry.

"I'm going to kick his ass" he says rubbing my back.

"No Ty... I-I- I still love him" I said

"What happened Lily?" Tyler asks me

"I found him in bed with another girl we had a fight last night about me being high and he goes off and hooks up with someone else" I was crying even harder. I could feel how angry and tense Tyler was as he held me till I finally fell asleep in his arms.

I wake up feeling broken I hate feeling like this I don't want to feel anything I walk over to my desk open my drawer pull out the small red box. I open the box with all the different pill bottles in it I pick up the first bottle I see pop two in my mouth. I go into my closet and get ready for the day skinny jeans and a red tank top. I don't go to my locker when I get to school heading straight to class with my headphones in. Doodling in my notebook waiting for class to start Kacey takes the seat next to me.

"Hey Lily" she greets me happily

"Hey girl" I respond. Turning my head to give her a big smile she raises an eyebrow at me.

"Are you high? You finally off the wagon? Fun Lily is back." she said causing me to laugh

"Yeah fuck it I don't want to feel anything" I said

"So in that case... there is this party tonight at some seniors house... want to go?" she asks me and I smirk at her

"Sure" I said

"Awesome what about Jeremy will he come with you?" she ask and I feel a pain in my chest hearing his name.

"No we broke up and I need a distraction" I said not bothering to look at her

"What? Since when? What happened?" She asks fast

"Last night, caught him cheating that's all I'm saying" I said as our teacher starts the lesson and I zone out. I was able to avoid Jeremy for the rest of the day Kacey and I headed to her place to get ready for the party. I was wearing a black mini skirt and a silver shirt that clung tight to my body with silver heels. I curled my hair and left it down finished off my makeup then I popped two more pills. Sitting on Kacey's bed waiting for her to finish getting ready.

"I just can't believe Jeremy would do this to you" she said straightening her hair.

"Kace I really don't want to talk about it I just want to forget it. I need a distraction" my new phone starting ringing and saw Tyler's name on the screen. "Hey Ty" I answer

"Lily where are you?" he asks

"At Kacey's I'm spending the night... why?" I ask him

"You didn't tell me you weren't coming home" he answered simply

"I didn't realize I had to tell you what I was doing every minute of everyday" I replied a little snarky

"Whatever Lily" he said before hanging up.

"You are so lucky you are an only child" I said to Kacey. She laughed at me, once she was finished getting ready we walked to the party. Some guy named Jim it was his house it looked nice typical two story house. There were some people outside drinking on the lawn, we walked into the living room there was a cloud of smoke in the room.

"I'm going to grab us something to drink wait here" Kacey yelled to me over the loud music. I looked around the room and saw some guy smoking a joint so I took the seat next to him.

"Hey want to share?" I asked him pointing to the joint. He smiled and handed it to me after taking a couple drags I was starting to feel numb. Sitting enjoying the music and the party when Kacey came over with two full red plastic cups I sniffed it and it was vodka. I smiled at her and started chugging my drink loving the shiver I got from the hard liquor.

"Let's dance!" Kacey said. She pulled me to the other room where a bunch of people where dancing with each other everyone seemed to be having a good time. Kacey and I were dancing with each other getting the attention of some boys at the party who had big smiles on their faces watching us. I was on my fourth cup feeling very wasted I pulled Kacey up on to the table in the middle of the room. I was swings my hips to the beat of the music feeling myself lose control. I did a turn which caused me slip on some beer falling off the table before I hit the floor I felt someone catch me. I had a smile on my face giggling like crazy my smile falls off my face as I see Tyler staring down at me.

"Tyler?" It came out as more of question from my surprise at seeing him here.

"Where going home" he said putting me on my feet and grabbing my wrist starting to drag me out of the house I rip my arm out of his grip.

"No I want to stay Ty I'm having fun" I said my words very slurred coming out I tripped over my foot trying to step away from him. He let out a breath before grabbing me and throwing me over his shoulder.

"We are going home and that is final" he said. I was pounding on his back trying to get him to let me go but he didn't budge. People were giving me strange looks and laughing at the show we put on. He threw me into the back seat of his car my eyes started to close as I laid across the seats. My eyes fly open as the car slams to a stop and the door is thrown open. Tyler pulls me out of the car and carries me to my room he hasn't said a word since we left the party. I see his body shaking as he drops me on my bed I cross my legs in a sitting position as he paces in front of me.

"Tyler..." I said he stops his pacing and turns and stares hard at me.

"The hell Lily are we really going back to this? You were doing so well Jeremy Gilbert is not worth killing yourself!" he yelled at me

"I'm killing myself Tyler I'm fine it was a party I was trying to enjoy myself. Trying to take my mind off of everything for a bit sorry you worried but I'm going to bed I am tired" I said but he didn't move. My words alone seemed to anger him more.

"Yes you are! I won't sit by and watch it happen I promised you I would help you with this. I refuse to constantly be worried I'm going to come home and find you dead! This isn't you Lily you don't need this you are a strong girl. You got your heart broken it happens you are sixteen you will get through this." Tyler said sounding so caring and concerned which I know I am the only he is like this with. I nod my head unable to count on my voice. Tyler comes over and pulls me into a tight hug pressing a kiss to my temple.

"I love you Tazy. I won't let anything hurt you I promise." He said before leaving my room. I sit on my bed for a long time just thinking about how much everything changed so fast. Eventually I let out a yawn and felt how exhausted my body actually was.

I am back in the dark forest with the moon being my only source of light I stumble around trying to find someone around I appear to be alone. I start to hear what sounds like giggling close by as if I am being pulled I follow the sound. When I locate the noise it is Jeremy with Anna kissing and rolling around the ground in each other's arms. Both of them have matching loving smiles on their faces staring into the others eyes. I feel myself crying as my heart is breaking watching the scene in front of me.

"I warned you Lillian. Do not fight for him let him go now save yourselves the pain you will cause." I turn around to see Marie standing there in the same old style dress.

"What do you mean! I love him how can I walk away" I said tears staining my face

"He is not your destiny. What you have inside you cannot be controlled once you release it... letting the boy go now is what you need to do." she said calmly

"What will happen if I don't?" I ask her

"You will cause the boy pain and suffering that does not need to happen. You need to follow your destiny he will be the greatest love you will experience."

"You keep saying I will be the one to hurt Jeremy, but he is the one hurting me" I said

"Because you did not listen to my warning I told you there would be consequences...this is only the beginning of the pain if you do not listen to me. Let him go." she turned to try and leave

"Wait! Can't you at least tell me more about my destiny this great love?" I ask her she stops her movements and looks to be deep in thought.

"What I can tell you is he will tame the beast inside you. You will awake thing long lost to him, both of you equally broken. It will not be easy you will struggle and fight to be together" she said before disappearing into the trees.
