If they made a movie out of our story then it would have everything. Romance, travel, secrets, the most amazing sex scenes(;… I don’t even know what genre it would be, but it would be awesome.
I met Peter on a writing site for teenagers in August of 2010. He was the suave older member, and I was flattered that he would waste his time on a new kid like me. We’d talked a little before then, but not properly until August. It turns out for a while he’d actually thought I was a guy, because I didn’t put any pictures of myself up, and I guess I must have had a manly way of typing or something. Haha. The weirdest thing got us talking: it was when I posted a video of me singing a song I wrote about how much I hate one of my teachers. Oh, how romantic. It did the trick though.

We talked almost every night for several hours in writing for about a month and a half. I didn’t know it at the time, but when I was staying up ‘til midnight to talk to him, he was staying up ‘till 5am his time… Whoops. Eventually I worked up the courage to send him a video that basically just said hello, and gave him a chance to hear how I talked. He sent me a voice message that almost made me pass out from hyperventilating. I didn’t know how much I loved Californian accents until we started talking(;
I was the most cynical person you could ever meet a year ago. Not only did I think internet relationships were impossible, I was also dead convinced that love didn’t even exist. Oh ho ho, was I wrong.
Peter and I are both musicians, so over the next few months we wrote several songs about each other.
One of mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Padw7Edpn5s
One of his: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MvUBb04eZs
Eventually one night, after a hugely emotional battle with my sister that also happened to unfortunately coincide with “that time of the month,” I came to him in tears and said “I think I love you.” It didn’t matter that he lived all the way in California, and I was stuck in tiny old New Zealand, we would find a way to make it work. (That’s the little country that’s NOT a part of Australia, in case you didn’t know. Haha.)
We finally met in April 2011. I told my parents I was going to stay with a friend for nine days, and because I’ve always been the quiet slightly nerdy type they believed me. Poor parents.
Those nine days were the most amazing days I’d had so far; topped only by the twelve days we had when he returned in July. I couldn’t believe how comfortable I was around him, even from the second we met in the airport.
We got to kiss in the snow(: Hehehe.
I finally told my parents after the second trip. That was the most terrifying thing I’ve ever had to do. I was shaking so much, it was unbelievable. Obviously they didn’t like the idea, and I had to battle through a bunch of uncomfortable “why didn’t you trust us enough to tell us?” and “did you have sex?” questions, but over all they took it pretty well, all things considering. They’ve been pretty supportive, even though I’m sure they hate how often I’m on skype. Heh.
So that brings us to now! Well done for sticking through this saga. All going well, Peter will be moving here in January to go to university. Sadly I won’t see him until then, but I try to stay positive. At least I get to talk to him every day
We’ll be coming up to our one year anniversary in about two weeks, and we’re still as happy as ever. Aww. Thanks for reading!
