Short Story: 'm' And Me

This piece has not been edited by the ShortbreadStories team.

I'm seventeen,Bulimic and poorly......Not feeling too good about myself actually,but,My Cousin insisted i join them for a drink,Well,i hadnt seen her for a while so put minimal makeup on,jeans and top(too big for me at this point),but started to feel ok about going out. We met up with some mutual friends,girls i had known from school,When i was a Dumpling, so it was a shock to them having this bony corpse-like figure in front of them,I was still at the 'wanting to be THIN' stage,so they were all compliments to me,i know now obviously, that i WAS thin at that point. Anyway,We were walking to the next pub under the subway,and there He was!!!!,He looked at Me,Then Smiled,But I felt sick,My stomach was in knots(not far from salivating over Him if i'm honest),but managed a smile back. When a Lad can do that to You.....You think That's the One for You. Until my Cousins friend got into a bitter argument with him,I assumed they were together. They carried on as i walked off to catch up with the others,I could still hear them.....Then it stopped. Footsteps getting louder and quickening behind me as i walked under the subway,i sped up a little,But curiously turned around,It was Him 'M',He asked "where i was off to?",really cocky,But i liked it,I liked Him!,I asked if He was ok,He said he used to 'see' the girl,off and on and it's been frosty ever since they were off.We talked,We Laughed,HE even laughed at MY jokes,I forgot about everyone else and where they were,His mates had left Him too. We had our first kiss under that subway and i'll never forget it,But i have to laugh, because He had to bend right down to reach me and i was on tip-toes,I must have been only Five feet short if that,he was nearing Six foot tall i reckon.We went out for a while and Yes I loved Him but we were seventeen and got sidetracked,other relationships,had kids yet stayed friends and you know what,After 19 years we met up properly for a 'brew',He still made me feel sick,the knotted stomach,the butterflies, but most of all,He made me SMILE,till my jaw ached too. To cut a long story Short,He found someone else and didnt tell me his plans,But as we were still in contact and i did have an incline, because he changed towards Me,I felt something was wrong with Me,Did i Love him and tell him too much? I'll never know,He'll never know Me properly either,But,I wish He had made an effort to get to know me again, as he always did with others and treated them as princesses,But I was always the Seventeen year old who fell in love with Him and it still felt like that everytime i clapped eyes on Him,So He didnt have to try and 'WOO' me or treat Me any other way.Unfortunately, I just was'nt His 'ONE',But He will always be the 'ONE' for Me,Resulting in the 'ONE' broken heart...........Mine
