hello.

first, i want to address the fact that i am grateful and joyful that everyone enjoyed my story.

second, it is a true story.

it all started the spring of 2016.

i was clumsy, innocent and mischievous.

i dated my best friend of eight years. we dated for six years then he cheated on me and we broke up.

we broke up three times in total.

the first time we a mutual break up; we didn't like how our relationship was going.

second; i broke up with him because i didn't like the way he was treating me.

the chapter 'you cried' refers to the time i cried over the phone when i broke up with him.

third; he cheated on me.

our six months, christmas and his birthday was all around the corner. so i bought him tickets to see his favorite rapper.

he kissed another girl at the concert then he told me about it.

he waited a few days to tell me about it.

here's the funny thing, i already knew because the day before the concert happened i had a dream that he cheated on me.

it's actually pretty funny how things happened.

through out the whole relationship, everyone kept telling me to break up with him because he's not worth it. which was true.

i should have saved myself but i didn't. 

he was my first - and the chapter 'religious' talks about that. 

when we broke up, his best friend who was also my closed friend told me to get back with him because everything was no intended to happen. it was an accident. he didn't mean to kiss her. but when i told him that if he wants to work on it with me, it would take a very long time to earn my trust back and he refused. he wanted us to be friends and his exact words when i asked why was because, "i need you." 

he also said that he wanted to take a break from relationships and focus on himself, his friends, family, school and god. which i was fine with. to tell you the truth, i was very fine when we broke up. i felt like a heavy boulder had just rolled off my shoulders. i went to work afterwards feeling great.

a few weeks later, after he said he wanted to work on himself, he ended up dating someone else. to this day, my friends and i suspect that she was the girl that he cheated on me with. but he said that he cheated on me with a college student, so who knows?

she's someone in a grade younger than us. i've known her ever since we started high school because we all did track together. she's an okay girl, but she goes around.

the reason why i titled the first chapter 'thank you' is because i am thankful towards my ex. i'm thankful that whatever happened, happened. i learned many things and to be honest if we didn't break up. i wouldn't be where i am right now. i wouldn't be as hard working as i am right. after we broke up, i buried myself in work. i worked forty hours a week, which is the max of hours here in the u.s and a little soon after i got another job. so at one point, i was working two jobs and going to school. 

i became really close with my best friends after we broke up because they were there for me. they've always been there for me, ever since day one. it's kinda sad to say that it took me that long to realize it.

as of right now, he is training in the air force and i am in college majoring in pre med. haha, imagine if we end up like descendant of the sun.

but again, i want to thank everyone for supporting me and this fanfic. especially, to everyone who supported all of my works up until now.
