Heartbreak Waiting to Happen
by Karmen Mae
Me (at 14)
I've been interested in this guy for about a year now. At one point, I lived in the same town as him for about two months. We spent every waking minute with each other those two months. We were friends at first and then I started growing closer to him. We were hanging out more and more. We would stay up almost every night all night just talking about "life." One night, we were in his truck, talking and listening to music, I had my hand on the middle seat when he moved his arm beside mine, and I got nervous. So I moved my arm a little away from his, then he scratched his nose and moved his hand even closer to mine and kept moving his closer, till finally i couldn't take it anymore so I put my hands in my sleeves and crossed my arms and he just looked at me funny. The next day, I moved away and we never got to see each other for like six months. Then one night, he totaled his truck close to my house and I called him as soon as I found out, and he told me that he signed up for the marines and he was leaving that Sunday. We hung out at a football game that Friday and he took me home. On the way home he finally made the move that I had been waiting for. He grabbed my hand and smiled at me. We got to my house and we were wrestling and he turned me around and gave me a hug. During the hug he pulled his head back so he could see my face. I looked into his big brown eyes and I lost track of thought. He glanced at my lips and then he kissed me! It was the most passionate, sweetest, most intimate kiss that I have ever had. The night ended great but that Sunday was horrible. He promised that he would wait until I turned 16 so we could date. He said he wanted to be with me more than anything. I asked him if he would really want to be with a 16 year old when he's 21 and he said yes, if only if it was with me. I believe him but i always second guess his decisions because people meet new people and they change their minds. I'm scared to see what the outcome will be. Will we live happily ever after or am I a heartbreak waiting to happen? Find out if the guy you like is right for you |
