Mother and Father Creech & How We Met

Hey everyone,

Tonight’s post will be about myself, and Shyloh's daddy Trenton. This is how we came to be a couple. I am so happy that Trenton is in our lives, he truly is the love of my life. He's my best friend, the best daddy, and such a sweetie. He makes me madder than anyone else in the world, but I wouldn't have it any other way. 

I remember exactly how Trenton and I met. I was in ninth grade, my best friend at the time and I had something called Twilight Detention, basically after school detention. She pointed out that her boyfriend was in there also. He was about six desks away, wearing a bright yellow collared shirt, had super curly hair, almost afro like. He had his head down, so I couldn't see his face. She was telling me how romantic he was, playing guitar for her, writing her poems, and always making her feel overly special. 

I scoffed at her, when I was in ninth grade, I had a bit of a wild streak in me. I was always in trouble. I was never in class. I was more interested in smoking pot and being the "cool kid." I had just gotten out of a year or so long relationship, males did NOT interest me. I told her she would just end up getting hurt.

Twilight detention was over, and we waited for her boyfriend to catch up. I don't know what it was, but I suddenly turned to a babbling idiot. I just couldn't talk, I was acting like fool. I kept saying the stupidest of things as we all walked to the area where our parents would pick us up. My friend’s mom worked at the school, so she was picked up first. So there we stood in awkward silence, till I finally said something like "How are you and her?" I sure he said well. My mom pulled up and I asked if he wanted me to wait till his parents got there, so he wasn't lonely. He smiled and replied "No, I walk home."

The whole way home I couldn't stop thinking about how that boy stayed with me for no reason. I kept thinking that it was my best friend's boyfriend. What was his reasons? I was a complete stranger to him... (Or so I thought!)

They ended up breaking up after a while, one of the things my friend said was he was just too nice. She said that is probably what I needed in my life. I disagreed, I was really not in the mood to try to date. Later that evening I had a number text me.

"Hey Lindsey, this is Trent." 

What in the world?! What is with this guy? I'm not going to lie, my heart probably skipped a few beats. Like I had said earlier though, I was more interested in hanging out with the cool, older group. I gave him the cold shoulder for quite a while. I eventually messed up one to many times by missing too much school and ended up being put in a foster home. 

I will get more into that story on a different occasion.

A few month in, and I was able to sneak a cell phone in, no charger, and one of the messages I was able to read before my phone died was "Hey, I don't see you at school anymore... I hope you straighten out. We all miss you...” I didn't reply, there wasn't any reason but it did make my heart feel good.

8 month later and we (my siblings and myself) were finally home. I would be going back to school at my original school. I would be seeing all my "friends" for the first time in months. I wasn't the cool one anymore. I got ignored, laughed at, and even bullied. My world was turned upside down. I was miserable to be back in school. 

"I hope this is still your number, I saw you’re back. I'm glad. I missed your face"

The text I received after being at school for a few weeks. I knew who it was, I didn't even need to ask. For months we were constantly texting, literally non-stop. Although we never talked in person besides the first time. This kid did something too me. He made me excited every time my phone vibrated. He made me so nervous and shy. He made me happy to be back in my town. 

I can't lie, even though I knew I like him, I was talking to a few other guys at the time. They were the older, cooler crowd again. In September of 2009, Trenton finally popped the question. He confessed he had first laid eyes on me in seventh grade, and even described a beanie I wore every day. He told me, that even then I was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. He said it had been 3 years, and he wanted me to be his this time. 

I turned him down, I had too. I really was nervous to be in a relationship for one, and for two I was talking to other guys. I couldn't hurt this sweet, innocent guy. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. A few weeks later I cut it off with all other males I was talking too, except Trenton. A few more weeks past, and the question wasn't mentioned again. I felt that he lost interest. I was honestly devastated, but we never stopped talking, and that was good enough for me.

December 18th, we decided we would talk on the phone for a bit before bed. One of the only times we had ever been on the phone. We talked till 1 A.M. before realizing we needed to go to bed for school. I got off the phone after it took another 15 minutes to even say goodbye. I closed my eyes smiling like a goofball, I hear a text. 

"I loved hearing you laugh, it's my favorite sound"

Oh those sweet, sweet words. We sent a few more messages, before I got the text "So, you think you're ready to be my girlfriend?" I literally jumped for joy in bed. He hadn't lost interest in me! I of course said yes. At 1:48 A.M. December 19, 2009. On that wonderful day, we became Lindsey and Trenton. The annoyingly-over-cute couple that everyone loved. The couple that matched way too often. The couple that was forever attached at the hip. The couple that would be the parents of a perfect little lad, named Shyloh. 

I hope you guys enjoyed reading! It really brought back some good memories.

Thank you for reading,

Love, Lindsey
