How I Got To California

It all started back in 2009, April 11th to be exact. When a guy who was named Alex friend requested me on Myspace. I know right, Myspace.. Ha, Anyway, I was super eager to chat with him so I messaged him my number and told him to text me. He did and instantly we connected. We couldn't stop complimenting each other and blushing over everything that was said. It was all really cute.

Later that night around 12am, Which was technically April 12th, I asked Alex to be in a long distance relationship with me, He was hesitant due to the fact that we just started talking 8 hours before & Also because he recently just lost a close friend that he truly loved. It was sad so I understood where he was coming from but he ended up saying Yes to my question. I was happy and so was he. So April 12th 2009 is when we first became boyfriend and boyfriend and we will celebrate that date every year because, Duh, It is our anniversary!

So, We were totally comitted to our long distance relationship for 8 months, With a few downer moments here and there but we got through everything that life threw at us and stayed strong and happy. After being in a long distance relationship for 8 months though, It wasn't feeling like it was enough so, We started talking about me moving out there to live with him once he moved into his new place with a few of his friends. That happened so I moved to California on November 19th 2009. I actually ran away from my family in PA and I didn't tell any of them where I was until I turned 18, 6 months later.

Although I didn't stay in California for to long, In December 2009, I moved to Florida to live with my Aunt Kris for awhile so I could concentrate on getting my GED and Driver's License, That didn't happen though because she turned out to be an impatient bitch and couldn't handle me "living off of her" so I moved back to California 2 months later in February. That shows how amazing my boyfriend is because while I was in Florida, I broke up with him but due to the fact that my Aunt kicked me out, He was nice enough to let me move back in with him. Obviously we got back together because I can't be around him without being happy and feeling loved.

Once I moved back in with Alex, His roommate started causing problems saying that I needed to get a job and start paying part of the rent, Although I didn't have any of the proper documents to show that I was eligible to work in the US until I turned 18 and was able to get copies. So We ended up moving out and moving in with Alex's family. They didn't know about his sexual preference so we had to keep our relationship on the down low while we were around them. It was hard for me but we ended up staying with them for 2 years so I eventually got used to hiding it but I think they kinda knew about us all along. It's kinda funny to me that they never spoke about it to Alex like privately.

I'll finish the rest of my story later, Right now I have to go. I'll hope you'll stay by my side so hopefully one day my dove will fly. <3
