Samatha's Story| Jan Wilbur

I am as lucky as any girl could be. I met Jerod my sophomore year in high school, we started dating immediately and have been together ever since. He is so much fun to be with, he really cares about me and we belong to the same church. He was called to go on his mission when he was nineteen and was being sent to Argentina. I did not know how I was going to manage without him. I know I am going to be so lonely.
I decided I would go back to school and keep busy to keep my mind off of being by myself. I met some really nice people and made some good friends, one that maybe I shouldn"t have met. His name is Michael and I met him at a church dance. He is eight years older than me, more like a man than a boy and I have never known anyone like him. He treats me like no one ever has and makes me feel like a queen.
Now I am going to have to break it off with Jerod and I know it will be a lot easier if I send him a letter instead of having to look him in the eyes. It may not be fair, but I won't be seeing him for another year and that leaves open the possibility that one of his friends might tell him what I am up to and I think that would even be worse than getting a letter from me.
