Prologue
Being in love is a great feeling, you feel yourself light up as soon as you see them, the butterflies that person causes you to feel and the tingles you get just by a small touch from them.
It's a great feeling...
Well to most it is, but when you are the person who is in love with someone who is forbidden for many reasons it's not great. When you feel all those amazing feelings you also feel like you're heart is being crushed and the feeling of suffocation takes over because-
that love is unrequited,
That love is forbidden
You will never have a chance to be with the person you love the most
That person is engaged and soon to be married to the woman he loves.
So you are left to hide all these feelings to make sure no one ever finds out, and you are constantly battling with your own heart to try get rid of feelings you have had for a long time.
My name is Gabriella St James,I am a 17 years old high school senior getting ready to graduate. The man who is unknowingly breaking my heart more as each day passes is 22 years old Clayton Marino.
I have know Clay my whole life, our families are close and My best friend is Cara Marino, Clayton's little sister. He is also best friends with my older brother Tristan.
Cara and I tell each other everything but I can't tell her about my feelings for her brother. It's one of the main rules in a friendship, if said friend has a sibling you have to keep away.
I used to have hope like a silly little girl thinking that we could be together but when he got engaged that's when that hope ended.
Now my only hope is for these feelings to go away and move on from Clayton bloody Marino.
