There is always that one summer that changes you. This summer I learned the true meaning of pain, friendship, and true love.
          It was the very first day of the FSKO, Fuse Summer Kick Off and my first time at church. I was scared and intimidated. Walking in the building with my friend Jasmine was crazy.  As soon as you walk in, there are kids everywhere and it was really amazing. The music they were playing before service started was really cool. The food, drinks, and candy they sold were awesome.  I had never been to a church like this. When service started it got hyped and loud really fast. After service, I felt moved so I went to the care room where you talk to leaders about your relationship with God. I was going through so much I wanted to talk to someone about it. I didn't realize I would end up meeting my first real love in the same night. The night came to an end, I went home with my friend and talked on the phone all night with this really amazing guy Noah.      
Noah and I had been talking for two weeks and I couldn’t wait to hangout outside of Fuse. One day he called me and asked if we could hangout and I really wanted to but I wasn’t alone.  I Was with my best friend Mikayla. He said,’’ No worries, my brother wanted to come along if that’s okay so maybe Mikayla and Dakota could hangout too’’?”.Mikayla and I were so excited so we ran upstairs got ready then drove to Starbucks. After picking them up, we went back to my house and watched movies, talked, and walked around the neighborhood until it was time to take them home.  We hung out every day this summer.  There was never a time we were all apart.  Every second I was with Noah, I was truly happy, heart pounding, hands sweaty happy. It just seemed like the days were brighter whenever we were together but sadly summer came to an end.
Like summer all good things must come to an end, Kayla and Dakota broke up and so did Noah and I. On July twenty first, our one month anniversary, Noah came over to see me. Sadly i found out that he was cheating on me. My life seemed to have just stopped, I was really devastated. I didn't know what to do, and  my body just seemed to have shut down. I got really depressed,laying down all the memories would flood mind, tears pouring down my face every second of the day. I slowly started breaking down piece by piece. Looking in the mirror all i could see was someone who wasn't good enough and probably never would be. His words still go through my mind and I still cry. I lost the one thing that made me extremely happy. My whole world changed and so did my life. I don't know what I would have done without Mikayla cause she stood there with me day by day building me up,making me feel like the better person. She taught me the true meaning of friendship and how to forgive but not forget. One lesson i learned was that without the bad there never could be any good. Even if a lot of bad stuff happened this summer I wouldn't be who I am now and I wouldn't change a thing.
