Bryce and I met when we were in seventh grade, we quickly became the best of friends. In eighth grade we both liked each other and dated for four hours, but I broke up with him because I wanted to be best friends forever. As time went on he continued to like me, and that like turned into love. Our friendship then turned into a big bowl of awkward when I found out he loved me. I turned him down. 
Lets skip forward to our senior year of high school. We began talking more and more, we dated for two weeks, but once again, I broke up with him because I wanted to stay friends. He started talking to/dating this other girl. I got really upset and that’s when I realized that I loved him back. I fought for him, and I won. We started dating on February 25th 2011 and have been together ever since.

In August we started being a long distance couple, he goes to WSU and I go to CWU. They are about three and a half hours away from each other. Every minute apart is a struggle, but we make it work.
