It wasn't supposed to happen. You can't even pinpoint when it happened. You had been keeping score for some teams during a bowling league when your friends made a joke about you liking Jett. He wasn't your type, not even close. You liked a more athletic build not his slight frame. His hair and eyes were a little to dark as well. Then there was his personality. He was shy most of the time. You needed someone to draw you out of your comfort zone. And worst of all, he was a Yankees fan. There was no way you'd ever like Jett Hanson. However you didnt have a mean bone in your body so you started to hang out with him when your friends did. It had been a few months, all group activities. You never paid him any extra attention. You didnt go out of your way to talk to him. You were just yourself, kind to a fault. So that moment you looked up when he spoke and thought, "He's so cute" hits you hard. When did this happen? How did this happen? Today Jett announced his boss had offered him a promotion and a raise. The kicker, he has to move out of state. What do you do now?

You watch as Flynn rings up another rude customer with a smile on his face. Day in and out, he's always smiling and never complains. You've been working at the convenient store with him for a few months now. He doesnt share much about his personal life though. Then one day you see him in the back crying. He's unaware that you're there. You watch as he tucks his phone away and wipes the tears from his face. "Shoot, she cant do this again..." Before he can notice you, you return to the register. Flynn walks back into the store and sees you. "Oh hey, your shift started already?" The same smile he always has apears. Its as if nothing happened to him. Thats when you notice his smile. Its not really that happy.

11 Years ago Ben and you were childhood friends. He was 11 and you 9. Your families were neighbors so you walked to and from school together.

Hes not the same fun loving, prank pulling boy you knew, but is he still there somewhere?
