When I was 21 I thought I had it all. I had the two best friends ever Sarah and Olivia and I couldn’t be more happier in my job. One day we went down to an off licence that was really cheap went back to Olivia’s house and started drinking. We were heading to a club that night and were all geared up for a brilliant night. We were sitting listening to music when Olivia’s brother Liam came in and I swear I fell right there and then. Around two hours later we headed out to the club and Liam decided to come with us. It was drawing to the end of the night when Liam asked me out for a dance and kissed me. I nearly fainted there and then and that was it I was hooked. Then for some apparent reason everything cooled off and it seemed like he didn’t want to know. It was my birthday a month later and I was having a party. I decided to invite Liam thinking it wouldn’t do any harm. I was right. He kissed me again that night and from that moment on we were a couple.

It was two months later and everything was fantastic when one night myself Sarah and Olivia went out. A fella approached me and told me that Liam was only using me and was going to dump me. I wanted to let Liam know what was after happening so i text him and told him. He was annoyed and told me that it was all lies. I assured him I didn’t believe it but I just wanted to let him know what had happened. So everything was still going great until one day I’ll never forget it. It was a sunday and I texted Liam and didn’t get a reply. So I left it and about an hour later I tried ringing him. But he didn’t answer. I was so confused and it stayed that was for around two months where he wouldn’t talk to me and I had no idea why.

Then one day I was out in Olivia’s when he called me and explained that he thought there was going to be hassle and he didn’t want that so decided to end things. I was raging and told him that it was completely bad form what he had done and I hadn’t deserved it. We decided to stay friends and that things started up again. But that didn’t last long either. Over the next year it was like a rollercoaster and I never knew where I stood with him.  Then one day when we were driving from my house Liam told me that he loved me. I nearly crashed the car I was that shocked. He wanted me to say it back but I just couldn’t, not at that moment anyway. It took me nearly three weeks to say it back to him and that he told me that he wasn’t ready for a serious relationship and that he was going travelling around Europe that summer.

I was completely and utterly shattered. I decide there and then that I was never going anywhere near Liam again. But because I was friends with Olivia it was hard not bumping in from him time to time. Then one night I got a phone call from Liam accusing me of cheating on him when we were together. No matter how much I told him it wasn’t true he wouldn’t believe me. I told him that I didn’t have to explain myself to him and hung up. I found out the next day that my so called friend Olivia had told him that I was cheating on him. I confronted Olivia but she ran the other way. I decided to move on with my life and forget that Olivia or Liam ever existed. Little did I know that things were about to get even more interesting……to be continued
