This story is totally different from my first one. I was laying in bed and this idea popped in my head. I had another fic i was planning on writing but this idea sounds so much better! haha. also, i needed a more original idea than the one i had, and i think i found it lol.

here's the summary...

Elliot and Olivia are childhood best friends. They know each other's deepest and darkest secrets. High school comes around, and their feelings for each other deepen into something more. Then Elliot leaves her for the Marines. He didn't realize that he had made his greatest mistake.

the first few chaps I am going through really the entire summary. Describing their relationship through their lives. So its going to be a few chaps of different ages and drama. The first part is short, so after it the story jumps right to high school. Enjoy!

$%^%$%#$#$%

It started with two kids, in one classroom, in the third grade, fending for themselves in the big world. They both had fucked up home lives, and the other one knew it. They didn't understand at that age how messed up it was, though.

"Olivia?," 10 year old Elliot asked," What happened?"

She had a bruise on her arm, like someone had grabbed her.
"Nothing. That's an old one," she said casually, with a calloused voice as she colored in her coloring book.

"I didn't see that one. I have one." He showed her his on his arm.

For two kids, they handled it as well as it could be.

"That looks weird," Olivia said.

"It's a bruise, it's not supposed to be pretty," he said, with a bit of attitude.

The lunch bell rang. They both ran to lunch, because they didn't really eat otherwise.

"I love pizza!," Elliot exclaimed as they read the menu.

"You love every food Elliot," she said with a roll of her chocolate brown eyes.

"Except spinach. So HA! I don't like everything snootie pants," he said in a snarky tone.

"Your a butt munch!," she said angrily.

They did everything together. They avoided their houses as much as they could, so they would go to the park or stay after school together.

A few days later, for a school project, they had to make something for someone they cared about. Elliot and Olivia each made something for the other. Olivia, being a girl, made a bracelet for him, and he made a picture for her. It was them as police officers, catching bad guys and she laughed at it.

"Elliot, my hands aren't that big!"

"It's supposed to be you as a cop when your older. Sorry."

"It's okay. I love it! Here you go." She handed him a bracelet that had the letters that spelled out "Best Friends" on it.

He laughed. "I'm not a girl!"

"You don't have to wear it silly! I made it because you are and I couldn't think of anything else to do."

She ran over and put her picture in her backpack, and he put his bracelet in his.

Best Friends Forever.

#$%^&%$#!#

going straight to the end of high school...

They just began their senior year. They are still best friends.

#$%^&*&^%

Olivia and Elliot were very close throughout high school. Elliot kicked guys asses when they mentioned something about Olivia that wasn't appropriate. He had gotten suspended at least 3 times because of that. To him, she was the most beautiful person that had ever been on the earth.

"Elliot, did something happen last night?," she asked, seeing his facial expression when he got to school. It was also how they started every morning conversation. They feared for the other that something serious would happen at home.

"No," he said harshly.

"El, whatever it is you can tell me." She tried touching his arm.

"LIV!," he yelled, also throwing his arm away from her touch. "I don't wanna talk about it."

She stood there, shocked. She knew it had to be something serious for him to explode on her like that. She watched him walk away.

She watched him in their classes. His expression never changed. He stared angrily and powerfully, not paying attention to anything any of his teachers were saying.

At lunch he tried apologizing to her, realizing the mistake he had made. She didn't want to accept it until she looked into his eyes. She saw him pleading for her forgiveness. "Liv, shit happened last night. It was bad. Me and my dad...It doesn't matter. I'm sorry for yelling at you. Can we take a walk after school?"

She sighed heavily. "Why didn't you just tell me that? Instead you yelled at me like it was my fault. We both have fucked up lives. Shit happened at home with me and my mom and you don't see me yelling at you about it."

He didn't sit with her to argue with her. "Liv...please."

She thought about it. He was the only person that understood her. "Fine. We'll go for a walk. I don't wanna go home. Mom and her new boyfriend just broke up, meaning Jack Daniels is her best friend at the moment."

After school they took their usual path through Central Park they used to clear their minds. She started shivering because of the frigid air. He wrapped around her, something he did often when she needed someone to comfort her and also when she was cold. She felt safe in his embrace, like he was always going to be there for her. She never really had winter clothes because her mom didn't buy them for her.

They talked everything out and by the time they got to a fountain he turned to her. "Liv, I have to tell you something, but you have to promise not to freak out on me." He looked into her eyes.

"Okay, as long as it's not something crazy," she laughed, not realizing he was about to sound completely crazy.

"You might think it is...I have been thinking alot lately, about you. I've realized that since the third grade we have been there for each other. You understand me. You..." He grabbed her hands, and her eyes got wider. "I...I'm in love with you Liv. If you don't want that, tell me, and we can go back to being friends, but I want something more. It's up to you."

She didn't know what to say. She wanted it as much as he did, but she couldn't deal with it. She pulled her hands away and grabbed her head like she had a headache, but she was just absorbing the shock. She tore her eyes away from his before she gave in. "El...I..." She was speechless.

He stood there, waiting for an answer, but took the gesture of her pulling her hands away as a sign that she didn't want it.

"How...? We can't just start a relationship." Her mind was telling her to run and never look back, but her heart was telling her this is what she wanted. He read her face and saw the doubt, but also that twinkle in her eyes that told him she wanted it.

"Why not?" He stopped her while she was pacing back and forth, grabbing her hands again. He reached into his pocket and grabbed the bracelet she made for him all those years ago.

She looked into his piercing blue eyes, and she felt like she was going to die. He leaned forward and moved towards her.

"It's...El...We can't..." She wasn't fighting him. He leaned forward slowly until their lips barely touched. She quit fighting and fell into the kiss until it became deeper, more passionate. He released her hands to wrap them around her body as she did the same to him.

They stopped kissing and just stared at each other.

"What was that about we can't do this Liv?," he smirked.

"Nothing. I was just thinking that if my mom ever finds out, we're both screwed."
"If my dad ever found out...I don't wanna think about it. We just have to be careful."

They walked home. He was wrapped around her like he usually did, this time with a deeper meaning than usual. They walked until they got to the end of the block where her apartment was. He kissed her goodnight.
"Call me later Liv," he said insistently.
"I will." She practically whispered as she walked away.

Senior year was about to get more heated then either of them had expected.
