We had gone to pick up stuff to make cookies at his house. I'd been looking forward to it all week! It had been 1 week since our first date, and before he took me home from the bake date he made his move by asking if I'd be his girlfriend (it was highschool ok? Lol).
Alex was so different from any other boy at school. He was into my kind of music, got my humor, had a compassionate heart, and oh my gosh could he make me laugh. He was the kid who could talk logic to our adult teachers and make them walk away thinking wtf did this kid just pull on me?! He had the life, rebellion, and the confidence to do everything I wished I could do.
He used to park in the teachers parking lot. As an adult, that's like the equivalent to parking in a police parking only spot. He was busted. A few times. Got a ticket. A few times. Trivial things like that didn't shake him. It wasn't that he had no consequences, it's just that he knew there were bigger things in life to fret about. It seems small but it's things like that that helped me find a calm in my chaotic upbringing.
He's done more for me than anyone will ever know. He grew up with me and let me have my times when I needed to find myself. It always comes back to you, Alex. :)
Luckiest life I live.
