KNOWS WHO THE FUCK I AM TALKING ANOUT. NAMES CHANGENED TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE One day I slept over my friend Veronica's house. She wanted me to meet a guy she had liked ever since she moved here from New York. So we went to his house and knocked on the door in the mean time she told me you probably will think he is ugly. I said we will just wait and find out. He answered the door and under my breath I said holy shit he is hot. We finally got him to come outside with us after 5 minutes of talking him into it. It was almost below zero outside but we all dealt with it. Patrick kept complaining but we told him to shut the fuck up. We went to the lake and stood there and then I started acting all messed up and I was spinning and standing in the middle of the road. I started laying in the middle of the road as a car went by. Veronica pulled me out of the road as the car slowed down. I got up and it speeded away. We talked about sex and stuff like that. We went up to Veronica's house and Patrick started hanging out with Veronica's brother Jordon. We walked out of the driveway after a while and he followed. He had to go home because as we later found out he was grounded and had snuck out of the house to hang out with us. We told him we would call him when we got home. We called and Veronica had me tell Patrick that she liked him. He said that he only liked her as a friend. I kept telling him to do all sorts of things like bang his head with the phone and he said he would do anything I told him to. Veronica went up to her room and would not come back down, she was crying because she found out he did not like her in that way. I felt really bad so I went up stairs to Veronica and we started arguing about me going to see Patrick the following day and I said I was not going without her and she said yes you are going and I am not. We kept arguing for a while until we both were at the point of tears. I said good-bye to Patrick and Veronica and me started to cry for no reasons at all. The next day I went home and called Patrick. We instantly became the best of friends. We talked every night and wrote each other letters all the time. I was slowly forgetting about my best friend. I was putting a guy I just met before my best friend I met long before him. Then a few weeks passed and I was supposed to give Veronica a surprise that Patrick and me had thought up. Well the surprise was to have her first real kiss with the guy she liked the most which is Patrick. So the weekend I was supposed to go over Veronica's house to give her the surprise her mom said no. So that Friday she just went over Patrick's house and hung out. At this point she knew what the surprise was. She still wanted it after she got the wrong I idea bout the surprise. She thought I was just using her to get with Patrick, which was so not true. Well anyway Patrick just kept on trying to get in her pants but she just kept on saying no. Soon enough she went home. When Patrick was walking her home all they did was normal kiss. Well as soon as Patrick got home he called me and told me everything. He did not leave out one thing. The following days Veronica and me had suspicions about Patrick. He wanted both Veronica and I but in a way he didn't. But at least that is what we thought. We both started flipping out on him on the telephone. After a few minutes of arguing he finally said, "fuck this" and hung up the phone. Veronica and him did not talk to him for a while. Him and I on the other hand remained friends. After a few weeks I went back over Veronicas house. At this point Veronica, Patrick and I were all friends again. It was February 25, 2000. I went over Veronica's house after school that day. Patrick was waiting in the car for his sister. He waved to us. When we got to her house we wrote him an email saying that we were going to give him a "surprise". Soon after he called us and we went out to meet him by the lake. We all were standing by the lake and we decided to go to the Vo-tech. We were trying to get a sign to take home as a souvenir. That idea did not work out hat well. We then went around the building and we seen a fox. Veronica did not want to walk around the building with us. So Patrick and me went by ourselves. He was walking really close to me and we were bumping into each other. He fell behind but then all of a sudden he came up behind me and tickled me by the sides and went "boo". We started to walk again and I kept saying Veronica probably went home and left us. He is like we can go back to my house and do stuff and then we won't be so bored. As we came around to the front of the building we saw Veronica in a position that looked like she was crying. We rushed over and she kept saying that people were after her. I believed her. I made her get up and I comforted her and we walked back to the lake. She had calmed down by the time we got there. We started to play truth or dare. So when we were playing Patrick and I had to lie in the middle of the road. Then I was standing in the middle of the road and Patrick pulled me out. He had to dance around a pole like a stripper, moon a car, and flash a car. I then fell down the hill and he said, "are you okay" 50 million times, and then he helped me up. Next I had one of my not so great ideas and I decided to walk on the not so frozen ice, he pulled me off the ice too. Following them dares me and Veronica had to flash cars. Veronica said, "You have to turn around". He said, "then I can't see holly". The next dare came from me. It was for Veronica to kiss Patrick. She said, "no way" and reversed it to me. I then had to kiss Patrick. I said to him, "I guess I have to kiss you". Then he said, "okay". So we kissed. It was one of the most wonderful kisses in the world. After truth or dare we went and sat on Veronicas front porch. After awhile, we decided to go tubing down the front lawn. I pushed him down the hill and he went into a tree. We said our farewells and he went home. We told him to call us when we got home. He did just that. When Veronica was talking to Patrick on the phone she told him that I was ecstatic about the kiss. He told her that he was happy too. When Patrick and I started talking he told me that he wished I were at his house so that we could fool around. I told him that there was a possibility for everything. After that we said our goodbyes and hung up. We then went to sleep. The next day I went home and got in a lot of trouble for my bad grades. I was failing three classes. Patrick started sending me pictures and I hung them up in my locker. Then the next day in school he came up and seen them in my locker and he ripped them down. Patrick and me started fighting and a few days later I was talking to him on the Internet after school. He told me that if I got rid of the pictures I had in school that we could be friends again so I did what he said. We kept on talking for a while. He sent me emails telling me that he did like me and that he wanted to go out with me this year sometime. When I read it I was on top of the world it was one of the greatest feelings I ever had. It is so great to have someone say that to you. A week or two later Patrick and me started fighting again over the pictures we had been sending each other at the time. I did not want to be in a fight with someone that I felt so deeply for. So, when I got home I wrote him an email saying that I wanted to call it truths. After I sent the email he came on AOL and I told him I did not want to fight anymore he said that's fine because he did not want to fight anymore either. As soon as Patrick and me called it truths Lauren Ferry came on AOL and she started flipping the fuck out on me. I then told her that Patrick and me were friends again and she is like oh ok so now we are friends. The following weekend I got up early and went on the Internet. Patrick was on and we talked. Later that day Veronica wrote me and email saying that she had to confess something she told me that she took a picture of Patrick's "ah you know what". I was not really that mad I was just upset that she did not tell me sooner. That was the only thing I was upset about. On Monday morning I found out that I was passing all my classes, which is good. At the end of the day Patrick came up behind me and scared me. I jumped like 10 feet in the air. It was so funny. Well at this time Veronica was still at home sick from getting her tonsils out. I died my hair the night before that and when I got home and called Patrick he told me that he liked it but that I should put purple streaks in it. I told him that that was what I was planning on dong. Either blue or purple I could not decide. Every day that week Patrick had been coming up behind me and scaring the shit out of me and he thought it was funny to see me jump. The next day Patrick met me outside of science class and I was so happy that he did. The following day I sent Patrick two flowers saying secret admirer and he got then the upcoming Friday. A few days later Veronica came back to school I was so happy to see my best friend after two weeks without her. I ran up and gave her a big hug when I seen her walking downs the hallway. She gave me a beautiful necklace. I wear it almost every day. A few weeks passed and Patrick asked me out and we started going out on April 3, 2000. Of course I said yes who wouldn't. We started hanging out more and more and he was actually writing me letters back when I told him to. I hugged him for the first time on the eleventh of April. On April 13, 2000 me and my friend Jamie had the funniest day. To start off we did not go to gym so we started walking around the building. And we went by Patrick's classroom talking to let him know that we were out there waiting for him to come out and visit us. We were all standing in the hallway and after like 5 minutes of standing they're looking stupid these kids came by us yelling and Patrick's teacher came out and started chasing the kids. So Jamie and me started running because we got scared. Patrick is like he went down the stairs come back here. He said "don't I get a hug before you leave me"? I said okay and I hugged him and we held each other and we kissed for the first time. As a couple that is. It was wonderful and romantic. At the end of the day I had to wait for him but he never came. So, I walked with Veronica out to the buses. Well when I got to my grandmother's house I called Veronica and she told me why Patrick did not wait for me. She told me that the reason was he might be getting expelled. All that was going through my head was that I would never see him ever again. I got tears in my eyes and I started to cry I was so upset. But as I later found out he just stayed after school. Him and me have been getting along great. So far we have a really great relationship. This weekend it is our first time really apart for a week. ENDING OF STORY NOT TRUE I CAN'T EVER STOP THE STORY UNTIL I DYE SO I WILL MAKE SOMETHING UP. Well the day when we came back everything was going fine. That following day I went over Patrick's house to hang out. Things got a little out of hand and we slept together. It was incredible experience I will never forget. A few weeks passed and I realized that something was wrong with me. I took a pregnancy test and it told me that I was pregnant. The first person I told was Veronica. After I told her she started to go psycho. I next told Patrick all he could say was oh my god I'm going to be a father. The following day Patrick and I decided to tell our parents to get it over with. It was a hard thing to do but we did it. Our parents flipped and kicked us out of their houses. As for Veronica she started to kill people and nobody could ever find the bodies. Patrick and me on the other hand got an apartment and he told me he would do everything in his power to be the best father possible. I already thought he was the best at everything. That is how we had gotten into this mess in the first place. A year passed and Veronica had been sentenced to life in prison for murdering all the people. She did not get the death penalty because she pleaded insanity. Patrick asked me to marry him and I accepted. We lived the happiest life that we could but we were al upset about Veronica. I could not help but think it was my fault she did what she did. When I went to visit her in jail she reassured me that it was not my fault. For she had been planning to kill everyone since we were all in 8th grade. She also admitted she was planning on taking over the world. But, to do that she had to kill the people that stood in her way. Patrick and me went on with our lives wondering about what would have happened if he had not gotten me pregnant and if we would of never slept together. Where would we be now was the question that remained in my head. Would we still be together or would we have went our separate ways? These are questions I will always wonder about. I wish I could have changed the fact that I had a baby at such a young but at the time I could not resist Patrick. He was the type of guy that was just irresistible. Him and me remained together until we were 84 we had 3 boys and 2 girls. We died when Veronica broke out of jail and killed us both. We lived life to its fullest and we had fun while trying. This is the story of me life and I hope you don't make the kind of mistakes I made. What I mean by that is doesn't sleep with a guy unless you're prepared for the consequences that could come along with it. Thank god I had a guy that understood that he needed to take responsibility for what he did. If he would of left me I do not know where I would be today. So when I say be careful I do not mean live in total life long celibacy. I just mean take the right precautions to make sure this does not happen to you. In real life Veronica and I are still best friend and Patrick and me are still going out and we could not be happier I love him and he loves me. BY: HOLLY CHERICE PAYNE
