It all started because we liked to run. We were both on the cross country and track teams in middle school, so Cole & I were around one another a lot. We would see each other in the library, at lunch and at practice almost everyday. Our team was huge, but we all were really close. Cole & I became friends because we were some of the top runners on the team. This transferred into high school, where we we became even closer of friends. Cole would walk me to and from my classes, would wait for me at practices, and we would go to each other's meets to cheer one another on. He would always try to make me laugh at school and practice. He would crack jokes and we would talk about our how well practice and meets would go. Eventually we would start doing everything together; studying, shopping, running. We were practically inseparable. We became a support system for each other, especially after high school. Life changed a lot for the both of us; going away to college for me, and Cole joining the military. But, that or the distance didn't stop us; it brought us closer together. Although our life has been a roller coaster, our love for one another has never wavered.
