You’re probably thinking she’s only 18, how can she possibly know what love is? Well I know what it is. I know more than most people in this world do. I have had the pleasure, and pain of feeling it so early in my life. It is hard to remember what my life was like before I met Nick, but I do know one thing: I was normal. I was just like any other teenager, waiting for someone to just come my way. Waiting for someone to just look the other way for me. After countless let downs, I was about to give up. Let me just say I wasn’t expecting to meet anyone any time soon. Then 4th of July came around. I went to my brother- in- laws cottage. Apparently I was going to crash Nick’s graduation but I had only met him once before. I was only looking for something to do on the 4th. A party and some fireworks seemed like an awesome idea to me.

Sitting in the back seat, I look out the window as we drive up to the Seres cottage. I hear a noise of someone driving up next to us.
