     Presley Dunagin has always been my girl in ways. I held her when she was born. I played with her when we were kids. I protected her. She snuck in my bed on nights she stayed over when she was afraid. We were virtually inseparable in ever way. She was my best friend just like she was my sister’s, but her and me—we were closer. Then we got older. A kid goes through a lot of changes in middle school, especially for a boy. Our bodies start changing, we notice girls in a different light, and we mentally advance in many ways. The way I looked at her changed. The way I felt about her was stronger. She wasn’t just my friend anymore. It got to where I wanted to see her in the stands with my parents on days of my football games instead of expecting it. Things between us were changing. I could see it in her too. At least, I thought. They say a single moment can alter your entire life. That moment for me was the day I lost her to someone else, so I gave my heart away. If only I could go back and erase it, because now, years later, her and me aren’t so easy anymore. Something more still lies beneath the surface, but I’m broken, she’s bruised, and we have too much history to pick up where everything went wrong. What I didn’t realize—we would hurt each other far worse before we’d finally get it right.
