17 months to go

That night, after Lockie had told me that he liked me, I was in the best mood! I couldn't contain my happiness! When Dad came to pick my sister and I up from youth I was secretly texting all my friends. I remember as we were driving out, Dad asking me what was up.

"Nothing" was my reply. I was too nervous to tell my Dad that a boy had stolen my heart that night.

I lay in bed that night and I realised that it would be a long wait until I could call him my boyfriend.

But even as I was saddened by this fact, I fell asleep so happy.

I had myself a best friend and lover all in one.
