Isn't it funny how the things we want the most in life, are sometimes right in front of us to take. But what happens when no matter how far you spread your arms out, you can never reach it. And no matter how fast you run, you can never escape the pain of not having it.

They tell me I could have any guy i want. They say I'm pretty, smart, funny soo if that's true, why can't I have him? He's the only thing in this world that I want more than anything. What's the point in being able to have any guy I want when the only guy I want, doesn't want me back. If you're wondering who that guy is, well he's Alex.

Let me tell you a bit about me. My name's Zoe Cruz and I'm 16 with light brown straight hair that goes past my shoulders and light hazel eyes. I live with my 26 year old brother Jack and always have done. My parents, well let's not get into why I don't live with my parents but let's just say they wouldn't exactly win the parent of the year awards.

I love living with Jack, apart from all the blonde Barbie girls he brings home every night, he's pretty fun to live with. Our house is bigger than the average house on our road which is typical of Jack. He has his own business which to be honest with you I don't know what it actually is. I'm pretty sure I'll get confused if he told me I'm not really into the whole business side of life. But anyway, you can't really tell we're related. He's got bright blue eyes, naturally tanned skin and likes to "keep in shape" as he says. He takes every opportunity to take his shirt off which is quite often as it gets really hot here most days. But I guess if you have a perfect figure, then why not show it off. I can't really complain about him when I don't exactly dress modestly myself.

If you're still wondering who Alex is, he's a guy who works with my brother but he's not just any guy. He's the only person that I have ever fell in love with and if you knew me you'd gasp right now. I don't do love usually. It's not my thing. But that was before I met Alex. I love everything about him. His wavy blonde hair, his emerald eyes, his fabulously toned body, and his smile oh my god his smile, it's to die for. The way he half smiles to the side and stares right into your eyes like he can read your every thought.

Alex is two years older than me but it feels like five. He's really mature and intelligent and so confident that it seriously annoys me sometimes. I guess that's why I fell in love with Alex, because firstly he's the only guy that works for my brother who hasn't hit on me and secondly, he's better at everything than I am. You can't compete with Alex, you'd be digging your own grave from hopelessness. The only person who Alex can't compete with is Jack. I've never understood it but for some reason he listens to every word Jack says.

Now if you're curious as to how I manage to keep such emotions a secret, well I don't. Alex knows how I feel about him, so does Jack and his 'gang' of friends who also happen to work with him. It's a nightmare but it's my fault they know. I got way too drunk and emotional at a christmas party Jack hosted once over a year ago. I started crying so much that Jack had to leave his own party to take me to Alex's. I refused to stop crying until he took me to his place.

I remember the next day Jack told me that he got really angry thinking Alex had hurt me in some purposeful and demeaning way and maybe that's why I wanted to see him. He was far off, Alex would never hurt me like that but at the same time Jack had no idea how much I was hurting and still hurt now, and he had no idea what the real reason I wanted to see Alex was. But of course when we got to his place and I told him I loved him, Jack stood there for about a minute silent and then laughter erupted from him like it was pressurized inside for years.

Alex on the other hand ignored him, walked up to me with a hand wiping my tears away and with one of his side smiles he said "Zoe, I know". That stopped Jack's laughter as he realised I was being serious. That night Jack told his friends and for some odd reason they seemed to want me more.

And now as I'm lying in bed waiting to drift off to sleep, all I can manage to think about is him as I have done every night since I was 14. Gosh it feels good to picture him in my head. I can almost hear his deep sexy voice saying my name.
