love that never exsisted

one day i got a myspace friend request from a boy. he was so cute. he sent me a message and we talked for days. we exchanged numbers & texted 24/7 ! i called him on his birthday, we talked every night. we drew each others pictures; but never saw each other. i found out he lived in Virginia. & i live in Connecticut / that hurt me but i knew we could still be friends. he was the most amazing boy i have ever met, i didn't know there were boys like him out there. he would always make me smile, feel good when I'm down & help me with my problems. he had brothers , i talked to them; got close to them & everything. then one day his older brother messaged me telling me khaliyl got shot. i cried for days & day, they told me he was in a coma. every night i say there & prayed he would wake up. a couple days later his older bother called me sayinq khaliyl had woke up. i was so happy; we talked on the phone & everything was back to normal. we both hated that we were far from each other. a month later he asked me out, he was so amazing that i didn't think of the distance & i said yes . we talked EVERY SINGLE day & night. we would fall asleep on the phone together & would wake up on the phone together . i was in L O V E. i never wanted to let go. 2months later i got another call from his brother. they told me he was shot to death. i cried for nights & days. i could barely make it through school. knowing that my boyfriend was gone, killed me . all his brothers were there for me & supported me. i couldn't believe this, they then told me he wasn't dead. i wus confused ; i knew something was up . i stopped talking to them because i knew that they were just telling stories & putting me through bullshit. we started talking again and like a dummy we went back out . . . . . months later . i found out khaliyl was never a real person & neither was his brothers. it was all one boy setting people up & creating characters. when i found this out i cried for many reasons, one because the love of my life didn't exist. & 2 because i wasted all that time on nothing. it killed me inside. this was a LESSON LEARNED! every now and then i think of how can any person do such a thing to someone? smh . . < / 3
