She knew him since she was a little girl .
Everyday , they went together to nursery school and everyday , he brought her another flower he picked on his way to her house - he knew she loves flowers .
They knew that they will always be there for each other . Although they were young , they understood that it's something special between them .
They got older and older . They knew each other better when many siblings do because they spent all their free time together .
Everyday , they went together to primary school and everyday , he brought her a new sticker - he knew she loves collecting them .
Although they spend so much time together , they never got bored of each other .
So , their friendship and feelings kept growing and growing .
Everyday , they went together to school and everyday , he brought her a praline - he knew she loves chocolate .
But the older they got , the more they differed . She was a popular girl in school . Every guy knew her name and wanted to go out with her .
In contrast , he was more of a quiet but nice guy . He was helpful , though he didn't have many friends .
Especially those kinds of friendships , it doesn't matter how perfect they were , break up when the people get older and notice , how different they are - but the friendship of those two didn't . They were different and they knew it - but that's what made it even more interesting .
The following years , nothing changed - except their feelings . At the beginning , they were best friends - feeling almost like siblings and knowing everything about each other . But know , something changed .
The feeling to know each other even better has grown in both of them . Not simply knowing their fav. color or song , but knowing what they actually feel . Without even really thinking about it , they understood - it was love .
From one day to another - their relation has completly changed . It was a huge difference from being best friends for so many years but being a couple now . Their school mates were shocked when they found it out . A popular girl going out with a guy like him ? No way ! But their love was much bigger than all the annoying comments of their school mates .
It was their last high school year and it was their prom next week - an important event for both of them . She wanted to become prom queen and to defend her titel as the most popular girl in school . But he thought of something else ..
He knew , he wanted to be with that special girl for the rest of his life . Getting a holiday job and doing a lot for getting enough money , he got her a engagement ring . The prom was a good chance to ask her to become his wife and stay with him .
It was the day right before the prom and both of them were already nervous as hell . Being so nervous and in hurry brought them in a bad mood .
He thought she was only thinking about her fame and forgetting him . In fact , she was worrying about him ..
She knew , they'll go partying a lot after the prom - with lots of alcohol . She saw him drunk - She knows , he goes crazy when he's drunk - not taking care of anything ..
Wanting to talk about his problem , they end up in an argument - it was the first one they ever had .
'' Please , don't drink to much .. you know exactly what happens when you drink too much . '' -
'' Why ? Is it your problem if something happens to me ? '' -
'' What the hell happend to you ? I just care about you .. and please , don't drive back on your own after the party - it's too dangerous ''
'' You're asking ME what happened ? You're standing here , telling me how to live my life .. Don't you think you're a bit too addicted on controling me ? '' -
'' WHAT did you say ? I'm not addicted , I'm just caring about you boy ! It would be even better if you would stay with me and my friends , so I can take care instead of partying with your friends who are going to be drunk anyway .. '' -
'' I can't belive that . So you want me to stay with you so you can control me all the time ? Do what you want , I don't care ! Have fun at the prom , I'll stay at home .. Good luck .. ''
He drove back home while she was sitting on her bed - crying . She didn't understand his reaction . '' Why can't he see I just care about him ? I don't want him to wake up in a hospital again .. '' she thought . She sat down on the floor and got something out that was hidden under her bed - a little box .
She opened it and got out a little album full of stickers and fotos of them . '' Why did he change so much .. '' she thought and started crying again while watching the album . After a while , she fell asleep ..
He was annoyed so he went home and lay down on his bed . '' Why does she overreact .. it's like I'm not old enough to take care of myself on my own . Why did she change so much .. '' he thought .
The next day , it was prom day , but her good mood was still gone . Although she didn't have a date for prom now , she dressed up and still wanted to go there . Suddenly the telephone rang , it was Mike . A guy she knows from school . He was the dream guy of many girls in school , but she never cared about him since she already had her perfect guy .. But at that moment , she didn't care about her boyfriend . Mike knew what happened the day before and he didn't want her to go to the prom alone - he was interested in her . She accepted his request and went to the prom with him .
While she was partying there , he was still sitting in his room thinking about what happened . '' Maybe she really only wanted to take care .. I'm sure she didn't want to control me .. I'm such an idiot , what did I do ?! '' he thought . Looking at the engagement ring , he started remembering all the unforgetable moments they had together .
It was already late and the prom ended . She , Mike and some other people from school made a home party . Though she was the prom queen and reached her goal , she was sad . '' Well , I'm sure he's having fun at the moment , too .. so why shouldn't I have some fun , too ? '' . So she did . She drank a bit .. noticing that everything suddenly felt better and the pain she got in her heart was gone . She drank more.. and more.. after a while she didn't notince anything .. She went to the balcony to get some fresh air but suddenly , she fell on the floor .
He was still sitting in his room , remembering their childhood and remembering her . Suddenly he felt something - it wasn't a good feeling , it was more of a pain and an inner scream for help . After a while his phone rang .. it was the city hospital . Totally shocked , he took his coat and drove to the hospital as fast as he could .
Now he finally saw her .. she was lying in the hospital , unconscious . He sat down next to her and kissed her forehead .
He waited hours for her to wake up and finally - she did .
'' What happened ... ? I don't remember anything ... '' -
'' HONEY ! You.. you finally woke up ! You went partying with Mike , didn't you .. ? '' -
'' Yea .. It was really stupid to do that .. I thought it would help me to forget our argument , but seems like it didn't '' -
'' I thought a lot about what u said about ' taking care of myself ' and .. I know , you only wanted to be sure , nothing happens to me . I'm so sorry .. If I wouldn't have overreacted , this wouldn't have happened '' -
'' Well .. it's fine .. But I think , next time , I'll be the one who needs a minder .. '' -
She starts to smile .
A few weeks later , she was fine again and they had an awesome graduation .
The days passed and one day he finally got the courage to ask her to be his wife . She said yes . ♥
From that day on , they took care of each other and their feelings started growing again .
They married each other and had a wonderful life . ♥
If you know a person since you were little , you know how people can change . Feeling so alike but then so different .. it's sometimes hard to handle .
People get older , people change .
Personalities change , oppinions change .
Friends come , friends go .
But love stays and feelings grow , if you let them go . ♥
This is what a good friendship can end up like if you work on it and take care of each other . ♥

I hoped you liked reading it . It sounds much like a typical love story but actually , I don't read any novels about love and I don't watch those movies either . That's just what was on my mind while writing it . (:
My english isn't that awesome , that's why I used a few words like .. 100+ times . Though , sometimes , it's on purpose. (:
I'm not used to write such long stories in english . Can't really express what I mean . ;(
I didn't give him and her a name . Why ? Because giving them a name would destroy the feeling of the story - that's what I think .
If you don't have a name in your head , it's just so much easier to empathize with that character .
Many parts of the story happened to me - so it's also a bit of my life flowing in the storyline . c: Not sure how to say what I mean , but I hope you get it .
Thanks for reading . ♥- Mina ♥
