Narative 1

I was standing there in my old worn down neighborhood. The tall brown trees were all dead, it’s like we had never lived there. The houses are all close together and falling apart. It’s been years since I have been here. At night the street lights would light up the road and the walk way would shine from the lights. The best time to go out was at night with the dark blue sky with the moon shinning in the night. There was a clear blue pond near my house. At night the little green frogs would speak to each other. It was almost like magic.
Everything was so simple back then. I didn’t have to worry about anything. Life was almost perfect but there was something missing. I just couldn’t figure out what. I used to sit for hours around a hot fire with hot chocolate and try and think what could possibly be missing in my life. I had good grades, a wonderful supportive family, amazing friends, sports, but what could be missing? That’s what I asked myself every night.
After about a year went by I walked into my school on my first day of my senior year in high school. I had on a little jean skirt and a colorful shirt on. My shinny brown hair all curly and nice was so tan from the beach all summer. I didn’t want to be in school anymore couldn’t wait to graduate. I was putting my bag in my locker when he walked by. I didn’t know who he was or how old or anything about him. But instantly I knew I needed to meet him. He was tall, tan, and handsome. I had been in that school for three years and never saw anyone like him. He walked to fast and I didn’t want to seem like a stalker and chase after him so I slowly made my way to first period. When I got there he was the first person to catch my eye in that room, and then I was hooked. Don’t ask me about the feeling I had but somehow I knew that he was what I was missing.
I saw that old wooden desk next to him was open. So I sat down. I was trying to get the confidence to say hi but I just couldn’t I was frozen. I never had a problem talking to guys before but this time was different it’s like he took my breath away and didn’t even know it. The class was almost ending and I still couldn’t say hi. When the bell rang I was so disappointed in myself I knew I had to talk to him.
I finally got the nerve to walk over and say hi. We began talking but I don’t remember what he told me because I was mesmerized in his heavenly blue eyes. He walked me to my next class and told me his name was Matt. Before he walked away he told me to meet him in the courtyard which was filled with beautiful flowers.
As soon as the bell rang I ran as fast as I could to the bench in the courtyard because I wanted to be there before him. I was shaking because I was so nervous. I didn’t know what to expect. Then he came walking around the corner and my heart melted. It wasn’t a bad thing I had the biggest butterflies ever. We sat there for hours and talked about nothing. All we did was look into two each other’s eyes and I was amazed I never wanted that day to end. Then we walked down that very same street where we are standing. We walked up and down this street for hours and hours. It was raining then though so we walked under an old tan umbrella.
We talked for a couple weeks, hung out a few times. Then one day he asked me out I was so happy I couldn’t say anything. We dated the rest of the year and I knew I was in love. Two years later we got married. That was the happiest day of my life. We got married in the beautiful garden where we had met. It was so romantic. I knew from the moment I met Matt that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. I never thought that by not trying to meet someone can actually have your true love just show up without warning. From that moment on I knew that he was what I was missing all along and then I had him. I will never let him go.
“Grandma?” said Sophia “Yes Hun” I said. “Do you think you will be with grandpa for the rest of your life?” she asked. “There is no doubt in my mind. We have been together for fifty years and we are still madly in love. He is my best friend and I can’t picture my life without him. I love him so much” I said. “He will always have my heart no matter what happens.” Sophia said “Do you think I will be in love someday?” “ I don’t know but if you do then you will know from the moment you lay your eyes on him” I said “ And make sure you talk to him because just as easily as he walked into your life he could walk out. Don’t let that chance of a lifetime go by” Sophia said “Thanks grandma I love you” I said “I love you to. Let’s go home”.
