Taking Chances

How do you survive the obstacles life keeps throwing you when you've loved one person for most of your life? you know you're meant to be. You just know it in your bones. I had been in love with Eli since I was sixteen. He's not just another hot guy in Pleasant Grove; he's my asshole brother's best friend. Eli always treated me differently than all the other girls he chased...but I wonder, even now, if I'll just end up being another number to him. But how will I make Eli see it when he has a past that has made it difficult to trust me enough to take a chance?
