Who Was It With? 

My first love, and my current love, was with my sweetheart, Drew.

When Did You Realize It was Love? 

He went out with my best friend, and when they broke up, we got together.

What Did It Feel Like? 

While it may seem like that was really crappy of me, it's what my best friend wanted. We had this beautiful chemistry that they didn't, and we still do. My parents love him, and his love me. It's like this wonderful bubbly feeling, and I know I'd be nothing without him. Hes the best thing about me, and he makes me feel beautiful. He tells me he loves me every day, and it's for my heart, not my body. His favorite thing in the world is being able to hold me in his arms, and know that I'll always be his. I would never think of leaving him, hes the other part of me, and he always will be. He's special...I know it.

What Happened Next? 

It was really love at first sight. I didn't know he existed until my best friend introduced us. We dated all through my 7th grade year, and he gave me my first kiss on my birthday. We spent the entire summer together, almost every day. Then we got into lots are arguments, and we broke up. For 2 days. We realized it was a huge mistake, I hadn't stopped crying, and he hadn't spoken to anyone. We immediately got back together. But this time, my mom didn't approve, so we snuck out and saw each other. One night; my mom caught us, and I was banned from seeing him again. But I did anyway, and he comes over now. All it took was time. We go to different schools now, because he's a year older than me, but we're closer than ever. And that's the way we always will be. He bought me a promise ring, for Christmas, and I know I will never, ever, ever leave him. He's a gift, and how I got someone as perfect as him, I'll always wonder. But I'm so glad I did. We're going to have our wedding on July 14th, in Newport Rhode Island. Sure, I'm only 14, and you might say that being in love at that age is wrong. Not until you've experienced it. He's the reason for my smile.
