~ Chapter One ~
"It might be love."
Jennifer looked at her boyfriend as he passed her the note as soon as the teacher turned her back, she grinned at him, quickly taking it and hiding it underneath the table while reading it. Scribbling something down, she looked over at Brianna who was rolling her eyes, despite being the one who had forced her into saying yes to that first date three years ago.
"You two have been writing notes to each other all day, it's worse than usual." Brianna groaned as she waited for Jennifer to pack up her books before the next lesson. She just smiled at her best friend and shook her head,
"It's because it's our three year anniversary next week, we are arranging everything."
"Three years already? Wow, and I have to give it to you both, hardly anyone in our school has gone longer than two weeks..." Brianna laughed,
"Yeah well, some people find the one straight away.." Jennifer blushed as she said it, looking down at the ground,
"Lucky for you, in the time you and Jamie have gone out with each other, I have been through about twenty relationships, none of which have lasted more than two weeks. Give me some advice?" She grinned as Jennifer groaned,
"I don't know, it was meant to be that's all. If it's meant to be then it works out no matter what."
"You always say that," Brianna rolled her eyes, trying not to laugh at the two love struck teenagers as they found each other through the crowd. Jennifer looked at her, her eyes begging for Brianna to say she was fine on her own,
"Go!" She laughed, pushing her towards him, grinning as they both ran into each others arms, whispering something to the other one as they carried on walking, hand in hand.
"They're good together aren't they?" She turned around to face Tim, Jamie's best friend, nodding,
"You say the same thing every time you see them together." He nodded sadly,
"I would love to be in a relationship like that.."
"Wouldn't we all?"
"I can imagine them two at the ten year reunion, with about four children, happily married." Brianna nodded, clutching her books close to her chest, knowing that it would true. Wishing it would happen to her.
"I should be off now.." He sighed, looking disappointed as she didn't say goodbye to him, instead walking off with her head hung low, hoping that someone would just ask her out soon.

Jennifer traced a small love heart on Jamie's chest as they lay in the grass, looking up at the stars. Their anniversary had finally come and for it they had decided that a picnic in the night would be perfect.
"I love you so much." He whispered between kissed,
"I love you too."
"I won't ever leave you, you know that right?" Jennifer nodded, smiling up at the boy she loved so much,
"I wish we could stay like this forever..." He muttered, his eyes slowly closing as his grip around Jennifer tightened, bringing her impossibly closer to him.
"Do you remember the first time you told me you loved me?" She laughed,
"I think it went something like, I might love you, or like you a lot. I don't know." She nodded, laughing even louder,
"And then the lecture from our parents? How we are too young to even think about love.."
"I think after the second year they finally got the hint that you can never be too young." He said, kissing her gently on the lips, looking into her beautiful, blue eyes with his own emerald green ones.
"Tell me about our future..." She whispered, snuggling into his chest as she smiled,
"We are going to get married next year, it's going to be an amazing wedding as well. It will be white and black, all our friends and family will be there – obviously in our local church. Then we will go to university, both studying Psychology and Criminology. We will stay in halls for the first year, but then we will save up for our first flat together. When we finish we will move to DC after years of saving every cent, buy our first house together and then obviously we will go to work. Then we will have four children, two girls and two boys..." He trailed off, looking at the girl in his arms, grinning at his luck, never knowing that anyone could ever feel this much love for one person.
"And they will be called Ava, Evie, James and Henry, with blonde hair, blue eyes. They will be good in school, amazing at sports, and will work hard until we are old and retire – in which time we will move to Australia like we have always wanted to do and live happily ever after." She finished for him, having heard the story so many times, never getting tired of it,
"Till death do us part." He sighed,
"And even then we will still be together." He nodded, her firm belief in the afterlife had always been somewhat of a mystery to him – not believing it in himself. But he would agree with anything to make her happy.
"I am never going to leave you..." He whispered, finally closing his eyes and falling asleep in the cold, night air, laying in the grass.

"Honey, I am sorry to tell you this..." Her mum started two days later, Jennifer sat up in her bed, confused.
"Jamie is gone, he went missing last night." She closed her eyes, waiting for the tears that she knew would fall from her young daughters face.
"No.. he promised me mum.. he wouldn't do that to me!" Jennifer shook her head, tears falling down her face,
"They don't think it was voluntary..."
"No, seventeen year old boys just don't get kidnapped. It doesn't happen mum, please tell me this is a joke, please..." She walked towards her shaking daughter, wrapping her arms around her, knowing how much she loved this boy,
"I am sorry, I wish I was."
"No!" Jennifer screamed, fighting against the comfort for a moment before collapsing into her mothers arms, her tears turning into painful sobs that would haunt the two women for the rest of their lives.
