I don't need your love

Chapter 1 -prologue

Hi I'm Kareem Ever since I can remember people loved me they loved my hazel green eyes my curly hair all the way down to my beautiful dark skin I was perfect and I know that seems a little self centered but I had all the girls and boys going wild around the time I was 10 my voice was deeper and I was taller but that's also the time I started getting noticed for something else, the way I walked and the way I talked was not very masculine people started to hate me even my own parents , all except my bestfriend and "first love" Evan he was so charismatic and kind he always smelled like roses from the gardens we would play in afterschool  we hung out every day together going to the park and the ice-cream shop down the road, we lived across the street from each other  then one night as I was staying at his house we made out under the covers in his room it was romantic as far as I could tell then he touch my privates  I felt uncomfortable so I asked him to stop but he kept going so I punched him and he finally stopped, with his nose bleeding and him crying  he called me a bitch I was so scared  ran across the street to my house, months went by we stopped talking and hanging out less and less until I moved away to Georgia.  5 years had past before I started dating a again that's when I met a traitorous  girl named Britney she was the best thing to ever happen to me we went everywhere together she would come over when ever she felt like it she would hold my hands and hang out with me even though the things I did were chaotic at times, she stuck with me we helped each other in so many ways I helped her get  her first job at victors secret she loved it she always had a smile on her face after work I thought she loved the job but really she was sleeping with  her co-worker she said he can give her more  she said "he has way more ways to support me and he pays more attention to me instead of work  I screamed at her you're 14 he's 18 what the hell are you doing he's a literal predator he looked at her  and said "your what?" she looked at me with pure hatred in her eyes then she started crying and screaming at me  I just looked at her then left by the time I turned 17 I already had sex with 12 people I was done with relationships at the time  but  I was sorta happy I wanted true happiness, that's when I met this boy Jackson he was new in town and he would end up in the same school as me  kami high school he joined my sophomore year class  he hated me because of how persistent I was, I really wanted him but I don't know if I liked  him or wanted to sex him so when he gave me the chance I slept with him I knew it was wrong but I didn't care we  were already having so much fun but I made the mistake by kissing someone else he was so mad at me we were off an on throughout our years in high school by graduation we still didn't talk but I didn't want to graduate with bad blood with anyone so I apologized to everyone I hurt during high school I wanted a positive vibe so when it came to apologizing to him I couldn't so I wrote on a little sticky note  that says

Dear Jackson our years at high school have been bumpy our on and off again relationship, our banter our inside jokes the things we did in the locker room and in the many classrooms I still love you and hope that some day you can forgive me.

I handed him the note and went straight home I couldn't bare to look at him or anyone that day he was all I could think about for the next few years until I started to focus on my self and while in college I took business classes and culinary,  after college I built my own café right in my home town.
