Annie and Ben |
My best friend. First love. True love . Ben Pickett was all of these things to me. Since the first time he cheered me on climbing down a repel wall in eighth grade, I knew that he wasn't just your average guy. He was much more than that.
After ending up in the same homeroom the following year, my thoughts about Ben were confirmed. And the rest was history.
Well, it was. That is until he—the most selfless person I knew—decided to do something that would make him happy for a change, and what he would do would break my heart forever.
And by forever, I mean for the next four years. I mean, until I ran into him by accident fours years later.
At the first sight of him, it was the same feeling from when I first saw him way back as an awkward middle school kid. Love. All I had to do was win him back. I didn't know how hard it would be, or how hurt I still was, but time and space tested everything, and the only thing that brought us back together was the unstoppable will of God.
I'm Annie, and my story isn't your average love story, nor is it one to be forgotten. It's packed with faith, love, purity, and hope. Above all, it is was God-written story, and I know that He is the best writer out there.
