Growing up Scott never really had a social life. He worked, studied and stayed home like the good little child. All his friends were out partying and having a good time.
The one thing Scott desired the most was a girl though. He spent much time contemplating what it would be like, but all it turned out to be was a dream. No girl was ever interested in him, all of them talked to his best friend Brad. Brad tried his best to introduce him to girls, but to no avail. They did not fall for him.
One day with Brad at the local festival he met a friend of Brad's. Brad never really liked the girl, but talked to her because she had a cute face. Scott was dumbfounded by her personality and beauty. The more she talked that night, the more he fell into "love".
Scott did not know what love was however. He had read about it, he had dreamed about it, but how could he possibly love someone that did not feel the same way about him?
That night he got home, all he could think about was this girl, her name was Monica. He quickly found her on Myspace and added her to his friends. Almost instantly she accepted and gave out her Yahoo SN. They both talked to the night away.
Flash forward a week, they were hanging out. They spent a lot of time together, Scott had a lot of fun with this. Could she really be interested in him? He was deathly afraid he would mess up. He went into mental lockdown, unable to decide what was right and wrong.
That wrong happened one night, when she decided that they should go to a spot near the lake. It was a dark secluded spot, perfect for romance, or so he thought. She had come there to show him one of her favorite spots to be. Sadly, because of all the rain, the spot was underwater. So they hopped in the back seat.
She huddled in the corner of the backseat, keeping to herself. Scott got brave and huddled up with her.
"All you came out her for was to show me a rock?" Scott asked with a grin on his face.
"Yes" said Monica.
Scott couldn't believe that, he knew what she wanted.
"Seriously? I know thats not all" Scott insisted.
Not wanting to disappoint Scott, because she was scared to be out there alone with him, she pushed him down and made out with him.
Believing he did the situation right he drove her home. For the next few weeks after they they kissed and made out some more. He began to think she liked him too.
He was in love. She was just his kind of girl, smart, funny, and kind of nerdy. Plus she was kind of kinky in things that she did.
It was vacation time, he was going away to see his dad for a week. He had this whole plan to come back and ask her out.
Scott had scared her. He did it a lot. He wasn't mentally stable, nor was he the guy that she wanted. She went to a funeral of a deceased friend of the family, and there she met a boy.
Hesitant to tell Scott, she waited a few days while he was on vacation. She told him about mid week that she had found a boyfriend and that she was very much in love with him.
Heartbroken, Scott lashed out. Going on a wild rampage pushing her farther and farther away. With each passing day they grew farther apart. He was just her friend, nothing more to her.
Scott went into depression, he had lost his chance, he had blown it like he always did with women. How was he to ever find happiness if he blew it with the one girl he truly loved. He would do anything for Monica, but she had found someone else.
Sure they remained friends. Scott obsessively talked to her throughout the day. They played Tennis together and she tried to help him with his relationship skills. It just wasn't what he had wanted, but what could he do?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two years later, Scott came back to his hometown to see Monica graduate and congratulate her. She had grown into an even more beautiful woman in that time.
They talked all those years, and grew closer, she grew to trust him and he became more of a best friend than someone she would date. Still in his heart Scott knew he loved her, but he held back those two years after he knew she would never love him.
At a party that night Monica came out of the house to see Scott getting ready to leave. He snuck out because she was talking to some cute guys and he didn't want to interrupt. He would just call her later and talk.
Monica hurried after him. She threw her arms around him and held him tightly.
"I didn't mean to not say goodbye, you just looked like you were having a good time." Scott whispered softly. She began to cry a little, "I am not leaving for war or anything, Ill come back soon again I promise."
"Take me with you Scott" she exclaimed, still holding him,"I have had nothing but bad relationships with guys that treat me like arm candy or a pretty face they want to fuck."
"What? How would I do that? I just have a one bedroom apartment, with barely enough food to feed myself." he was puzzled.
"I don't care, we will make it work, I want to come with you and never let you leave me again" She kissed him.
Aside from the taste of beer that was the most memorable kiss in Scott's life.
Monica moved in with him, and they became close like Scott had imagined years ago.

"I love you, Scott" Monica said holding his hand in the mall one night.
"I always loved you, Monica" Scott replied without hesitation.
