Our story starts with the main character of our story, Paul. Paul is a 17 year old boy living a normal life according to his parents and family but little do they know what Paul goes through everyday.

Paul is a very cool boy, He is friends with everyone at his school and has a small circle of close friends that he sticks with. He does'nt really like going to school other then the fact that he gets to meet his friends. He has 3 best friends. Alex, Josh and Anna. Anna, Paul and Alex have been friends for over 3 years and they are really close. Josh was a friend of paul who was a senior and got introduced into the group and is now a part of it. The friendship between these 4 is strong.

Paul was a kind of a lonely dude. He had no sibling and no close relitives in his city. So the way he used to entertain himself was by dating a bunch of girls from diffrent time zones to keep him busy and not to get bored. Paul did this for over a year until he found the one true love, Laura. Paul met Laura on a dating app like all the girls he has met. She at first was a very dry texter and did'nt show much intrest in Paul but later got really close to him.

No one new the true side of Paul not even his friends. Paul was on heavy drugs during this time period. Laura and Paul got closer and closer but Paul was still that lonely dude who always wanted attention, So he kept dating all those girls while dating Laura and calling her the "love of his life". His friends did not support this idea at all, But Paul never listens to anyone he does whatever he wants.

After a while Laura caught him cheating and left him which made him fall down that dark hole of drugs more and made him very depressed. He tried to reach out to her and she agreed and gave him a chance and came back to him. After that chance Paul started to catch feelings for Anna which effected his relationship because he was being rude to Laura and ignoring her just to talk to Anna. Paul could'nt express his feelings to her and hid them inside of him, Only one person knew he had feelings for Anna and that was Alex. Alex would often threthen him that if Paul does'nt tell Anna about his feeling he will. Paul tried to avoid that for a long time until one day.

Paul, Alex and Anna had a mutual friend called Mery. Mary's birthday was coming up and they all decied to go and surprise her on her birthday. They got there and everything was going perfect until Anna told Paul that a guy called her at 3am and sang her a song and she likes him and might date him. After Paul heard that he was broken from the inside out he wanted to just run away and forget everything. Anna did'nt notice anything and continued whatever she was doing whereas Paul went into a deep thought and regretted not telling her anything. A couple hours later it was time to go and Paul finally had time to let it all out. On the drive home he cried his eyes out that the person he planned on marrying and having a family with is gonna be with someone else. These incidents made Paul go back to drugs.Laura had no idea of this all and did'nt know Paul was on heavy drugs.

After that incident Paul started ignoring Anna so the feelings inside of him will die and he will start to see her as a friend again. That did'nt work at all and he still had feelings for her. Paul told himself that the only way out is to distract himself and he only knew one way to do that and that was to date a lot of girls and spend all his time with them. He did that and got caught again by Laura and she left him again. Which flipped the switch in him and he wanted to change himself for her. He started to be healthy and started working out to improve his health and recover from the damage the drugs did to his body. After a month he was as healthy as he was before getting into drugs and he finally got the courage to talk to Laura and ask her for forgiveness and she surprisingly forgave him. They got back together and Paul had to bury his feelings for Anna forever and live with the regret of not confesing on time.

At this point Paul was keeping a distance from Anna and Alex and hanging out with Josh, They would skip class together and just chill by themselves. Josh was like a brother to Paul and always helped him through his tough times. Because of Josh, Paul, Anna and Alex got close. But then one day Anna and Alex hit Paul with a news which shook him to his core

Alex told Paul that he was going to a summer camp in a university with Anna and Paul was being told that so he can keep a lookout for the two when they are working so not many people know of their plan. Paul was badly hurt and felt betrayed by his two best friends. He locked himself in a room for the next week and got back on drugs until he told Laura this and she solved it for him and stood with him through it. At that point in the relationship Paul felt like he was on top of the world because he got a girlfriend who cared a lot more then anyone ever did. He got back up on his feet and decieded to just ignore the fact they did that and just carry on with life. After a while Josh told Anna and Alex that Paul was hurt over what they did and the two came to Paul and appologised for what they did n the 4 went on with their lifes toghether like nothing happed.
