In 2017, I had just turned 18 in January. I was an eleventh grader in high school. I had just caught my boyfriend cheating on me. My friend decided that I needed a boyfriend. I told her no, but I would be willing to try to make new friends. She tried to get me to talk to a few people, but it never worked out. She eventually decided to get me to talk to her ex. I had met him previously on a double date; when she was with him and I was with someone else. He seemed nice enough at the time, so I decided to give it a shot. Well, we started talking and planned a day to just hang out. When she found out; she twisted it around to be a date. Well, we talked more and the day of the date came around. He asked me to be his girlfriend that night and I said yes. With in a month of us getting together, he was working out of town. We continued to talk and get closer. By the time that I started senior year, we were talking almost every day.
