Love or Lost

When I was in grade six, me and my best friend went to a park where we met two boys, one was in grade 9, the other was grade 8. Some would say I was silly, but I instantly had a crush on thee grade niner.
Me and Jessa, my best friend, went up to Marcous and Jake, Jake was the grade niner. Jessa thought he liked me, but of course, I didn't believe her at all. Me and Jake always texted, but I was very shy to talk to him in real life, I would always run away.
When I was in grade 8, he was grade 11, we would always send each other pictures, I would say anything to get him to notice me. When I started high school, grade 9, we started dating, it wasn't too serious, but we would hang out and text all the time. We got into this HUGE fight, because Jessa told him I was cheating on him. Jessa was mad that I didn't hang out with her as much. I didn't talk to him until Jessa admitted what she did and that she lied to him, that was about a half a year later. I was in grade 10 at the time, me and Jake were never very close, until I was in grade 12, we would always talk and message each other.
On September 23, 2003 Jake proposed to me. On October 3rd, 2003 we had a wonderful wedding. Me and Jake now have 3 kids, 2 girls and one boy. The oldest is a girl she is 5, her name is Mikayla, then Sarah is 3 and Austyn is 8 months old. We are a very happy family and my best friend Jessa is still in my life.
