Beginning in the eighth grade, I cheered for the competition team of a Pop Warner cheerleading team named the Venice Vikings. I met a life-long friend named Devon O'Brien (my bridesmaid now) during this experience. We would always hang out and have fun together. Every time I went to her house, Jesse was there with Devon's brother. It was "love at first sight" and I immediately became infatuated with this man. I would find him in the hallways at school, try everything I could to talk to him, and even slip my hand into his to grab his attention. Once I moved to North Port, my obsession with him lingered. Until my birthday in 2014, Jesse was polite enough to write on my Facebook wall wishing me a happy birthday. I commented back "Thanks babe" with a kissing face, knowing well that my crush for him had not faded. He later Facebook messaged me, asking if I could text him, and I felt that everything I had ever dreamed of was falling into place... And it sure did.

It all started when I was at my best friend's, Quinton, house and Haley was over hanging out with Quinton's sister, Devon. This is where we first met. Haley started "stalking" me from that point forward. She used to try and hold my hand, hug me everyday, follow me around school, and would comment on my photos on Facebook. After three years, her stalking finally worked. I wrote her on her birthday and she wrote back "thanks babe" and the rest is history.
