Tossing the phone on the couch beside me, I kick my feet up on the coffee table and reo, ere both eighteen and fresh across the quad while I strutted along with my new hockey teaht she was thein the entire world I approached her with the sole intention of getting a date, but what I found instead was a girl co to fit in
I suppose people would say it was fated, but it turns out Mollie and I were both frorew up in towns about an hour apart fro up on the beaches of SoCal that helped build the bond of a strong friendship And while I quickly deterh I was crazily attracted to her, Mollie needed a friendFor some reason, I was happy to provide it
From that first week of school, we becaether that first year—English—but we spent a lot of our downtiether in the library My time was more limited than hers because I had practice, and the hockey season went from October to March of the school year But whenever there was an opportunity, we hung out Mollie caames to cheer me on She became an honorary member of the hockey team because she was alith me We confided in each other, and we could spend hours just talking
She becaot very drunk one night at a party I’d had to carry her three blocks back to her dorm while she was limp as a noodle, passed out into take advantage of her drunken state at a frat party I had to first beat the shit out of him before I could take her back to her dorht I’d sat in a chair by her bed until the nextto make sure she didn’t need to throw up

And then… ere aard But we loved each other enough as friends that we quickly concluded it was a reed to move forward and not look back
