It Was Meant to be.

Destiny is so weird. You never know what’s going to happen next or what it has planned for you, that’s why you have to live everyday and find out what’s going to happen because it will always surprise you.

When I was in Middle School and only 13 years old, I was a normal girl, I had friends, hated school, and problems. I hated some people from school, especially this one guy. His name was Andrew and I had him for all my classes. I hated him because he was “popular” and he thought he was the best and he could do everything he wanted and get all the girls he wanted. I have had a crush on him in 5th grade but he rejected me so cruel and that made me hate him even more.

My dad had died, I lived with my mom but as a usual teenager I didn’t like my mom at all, and when she told me she had a boyfriend I really hated her, I couldn’t believe she was doing that to my dad and to me. But she didn’t care I didn’t approve her boyfriend she kept on dating him and her relationship with him got very serious. After a while dating him my mom decided I had to meet him and his son so they both came to the house. I had to prepare the table for the dinner and make the house look really good. I hated doing that. Why did I have to do that just so they could be comfortable? But I had a plan I would treat the guy and his son so bad that he wouldn’t want to date my mom anymore and I was sure it would work out. When they arrived I just sat on the couch waiting for my mom to introduce me to them, then I hear a familiar voice, it was someone I knew but I didn’t know who exactly it was, so I turned around to see and to my surprise I see Andrew standing right there in front of my door. I couldn’t believe it I was speechless, it couldn’t be possible. Then my mom introduces us.

Mom- “Monica this is Cesar, my boyfriend”

Cesar extends his hand to shake mine but I just leave him hanging.

Mom- “Oh please excuse her Cesar she got it from her dad”

Mom- “Monica don’t be rude say hi, now this is Andrew, Cesar’s son”

Me: “Yeah I know, unfortunately I know him”

Andrew- “Yeah I’ve seen you at school Monica, wow this is such a coincidence”

Me- “it sure is”

Cesar- “Well that’s good you guys know each other you guys can be really good friends”

Mom- “Yeah now let’s go to eat dinner”

Everyone left to the dining room to eat and for my luck I had to sit next to Andrew. Everything was just so weird, he was in my house, the guy I hated so much and the guy who all girls wanted. The rest of the night I looked at him, it was impossible not to, he was perfect, he had the perfect skin, the perfect eyes, but I hated him and I wanted to yell at him but I controlled myself until my mom and her boyfriend told us something:

Mom- “Monica and Andrew we have to tell you guys some good news”

Cesar- “well im not sure its good news for you guys but it sure is for us.”

Mom- “We are getting married in a couple of months”

I get up my chair and start yelling:

Me- “What? No mom you cant do this to dad, he wouldn’t have done it to you if you were dead I hate you I wish you were dead instead of dad”

Everyone just stared at me, especially Andrew and then I looked at him and said:

“I don’t want to live with him you don’t know how much I hate him”

Then I ran to my room crying. From my room I could hear everyone talking. Cesar asked Andrew what he had done to me and he just said nothing that he didn’t know why I hated him. How could he not remember how he rejected me in 5th grade it was so mean? But anyway I could hear my mom crying and saying I had never said something meaner than that. I did feel kind of bad but everything I said was true.

A week passed and at school Andrew came up to me and told me it was very mean what I told my mom, that I should never say anything like that to a mom because I am here for her. Then he told me how much he wished his mom was with him but that she abandoned him when he was a little baby and it makes him real sad when he sees me treating my mom that way when my mom loves me very much. Then he started crying. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Andrew wasn’t the guy I thought he was, he was actually very kind and sensible, and I didn’t know this side of him. He wiped his tears that he was trying to hold on to and asked me why I hated him. I didn’t want to tell him the reason why because he would think it was so stupid so I told him I didn’t that I had just said that because it came to my mind. Then he said, “well don’t you think we should let our parents be happy?” and left.

He made me think so much, and I decided that my mom did have the right to be happy so when I got home I told my mom sorry and that I approved her relationship with Cesar. Months passed by and me and Andrew had gotten so much closer, we would talk at school and hang out in lunch. We were already in high school and we had changed so much, especially me, I developed a woman’s body, I was thin, and now I had big breasts, and now I actually knew how to put make-up on and how to dress and all that. As for him he worked out a lot and now he had a 6-pack and was hotter than ever.

The day of the wedding I and he had to dance a waltz. When we were dancing he whispered in my ear “you look beautiful tonight” I just smiled and said “you look handsome tonight” and we just smiled at each other.

All those months that I had gotten to know him better, I realized so many things about him, like he wasn’t a player as I thought and that he really has feelings like any other person, he is a just a normal person. I had started to have feelings for him and I was scared he would break my heart. After the wedding they moved in with us, now me and Andrew lived together, it was awesome to know that Andrew was just next door and I could go to his room anytime I wanted but I controlled myself I couldn’t do that.

One night I was doing some homework and he came in my room to talk to me. He confessed something very personal to me. He told me that he was using drugs and alcohol. I asked him why and he just said that because nothing in life comes out as he wants it to be. I just stared at him and asked if he actually thought drugs and alcohol would do any better. He didn’t answer my question so I kept on going. I told him that if he thought he would get anywhere in life if he kept on doing drugs, that if he wanted to be someone in life. Then finally I told him to think about everyone that loves him like his dad, my mom and me. Then he asked, “you love me?” I just stared at him and said, “yes I love you and I would die if anything ever happens to you.” I started crying and he cried too and told me that he loved me too and kissed me. That was the most beautiful kiss ever, I loved him so much and he loved me too.

After that day we decided to tell our parents about the drugs so he could get help. Then after he stopped using drugs he asked me to be his girlfriend. Our parents weren’t very happy with the news but they ended up accepting it just as we did to their relationship. We have been 3 years together now and as a normal couple we have some arguments but I still love him I know this love will stay forever and we have a good example of this, our parents. It feels so nice to live with him, we don’t live like a couple because we want to leave that until we are married, but we want to get married soon. Oh and by the way I think I am pregnant and I am so happy.

I LOVE ANDREW!!!!
