Them

Have you heard of them?

No? Well thats surprising.  You should have.

Are you sure you haven't heard of them?

I'm quite certain you know who they are, you just don't realize it.

Maybe if I tell you a story you'll remember.

You say you don't have time for a story?

Nonsense, it won't take but a minute.

Alright, I won't keep you long I promise.

Just for ease of telling this tale I'll refer to them as a male and a female but the gender has nothing to do with it o.k.?

Good, here we go.



He was walking down Luke street on April 15, troubling himself with the path the world was choosing.  He passed many people and knew all of them by name.  Many smiled and waved at him, calling out hello.  Many more shouted insults at him and made obscene gestures.  The largest group of all however was those who ignored them.

As he continued down the street suddenly he noticed her sitting at a coffee shop.  She was the most beautiful person he had ever seen.  She walked with the grace of a queen and acted in a like-wise fashion.  She was perfect in his eyes and he immediately knew he had to have her.  Unfortunately she was one of the ones who was ignoring him.  He bided his time and decided to wait.

The next day he noticed her again, this time as she walked by him.  He smiled and said hello but she just brushed on by.  Again he let her go, knowing his time would come.

They passed on the next day as well, but this time he bumped into her causing her to drop the stack of papers she was carrying.  Sheepishly he helped her to pick them up while apologizing profusely.  She told him to pay better attention next time, turned and walked off.

They continued to pass each other day after day and she continued to ignore him as best as she could.  Never once did he grow disheartened though.  He even began writing a book just for her so that he could give it to her.  He knew that his time would come.

One day while passing her, he noticed she was crying.  He stopped and asked her why.  She shouted at him to leave her alone.  Her grandfather had just died and she wanted nothing to do with him.  He responded that he could help her.  She got up, slapped him and left.

For a long time he let her be.  Allowed her to calm herself and deal with her grief however she felt was best.  Then he decided the time had come to make another attempt.  This time things went differently.  He found her sitting on a bench sniffling again, on the brink of tears.  He asked what was wrong and she said she was lonely and that she was glad he had come.  She began to pour out how she had been thinking about him and how she had talked to her friends who knew him and how everyone had said that they should get to know each other. He just sat there smiling knowing he had finally won.

They talked for a long time and she apologized for all that she had done to him.  She admitted that she was originally scared of him and what he might think of her.  He said it was ok, most people were.  She admitted how much she disliked herself.  He assured her she was perfect.  She said he was to good for her.  He said that was nonsense.  At the end of their talk he asked her if she would marry him.  She was surprised at how sudden it was but she agreed.

Shortly after this conversation the couple got married.  Her closest friends were there and cheered wildly for her.  The ceremony was short and simple but forever locked them together.  At the wedding he gave her the book and told that if she ever felt he was not with her she could go to the book to find him.  She placed the book in her bag promising to remember it.

After the wedding they went on a very long honey moon.  They were madly in love with each other.  Never once did they fight.  It was the most romantic of times.  They wondered how they had ever existed without each other.  As the romance continued she began to rely more and more on him filling her heart with everything that he was.  She even began to read the book he had written for her, at times pouring herself into with a vigor she didn't even replicate in her studies.  They also talked almost constantly during this honeymoon and the talks were always good.

Unfortunately this unbelievable love was not to last forever.  Shortly after their honeymoon her mother died of cancer.  She took it very hard.  He tried to comfort her but she wanted nothing to do with him.  She even stopped reading the book he had written for her, even though she loved it so much.  She began to ignore him again and he just gave her time and space.  Eventually as her wounds healed she returned to him apologizing again.

She decided to invite him to move into her house so that they could live together forever.  She lived on a unique road.  It was the first one to ever be named John street.  Their house was the fourth one down the street but was number 8 for some reason.

After buying the house they again experienced a time of great joy where they couldn't get enough of each other.  They would talk day and night and never got angry with each other.  She also resumed reading the book he had given her, digging deeper and deeper into the layers it offered.

Again this was not to last.  One day she lost her job and blamed it on him.  She shouted horrible things at him and forced him out of the house.  He was very sad and hoped dreadfully that she would allow him to return.

Three days later he returned to the house and knocked quietly.  She threw the door wide open begging him to come back and live with her again.  He smiled and stepped inside.  She said that she was horribly sorry and begged for his forgiveness.  He forgave her immediately.  She said she was worried he would never return.  He reminded her that as long as she had his book he would always be with her.


For a long time they continued to experience their ups and downs.  Whenever something happened to her she would blame it on him and kick him out for a few days but when he would come back she would allow him home.  One day he found the door locked.  He looked in the window and saw her with another man.  He banged on the door but she ignored him.  He sat on the steps and cried for a long time. Eventually the man she was with ran from the home and she stepped out and immediately began begging for forgiveness.  He forgave her immediately.

Their relationship was horribly strained.  He would catch her cheating on him many more times.  She would blame him for things many more times.  However, he always loved her and that never changed.  Whenever she allowed him to come back he was very excited.

Eventually the relationship began to even out.  When something bad happened to her she would go to him for support instead of blaming him.  He found her cheating on him less and less.  There love also became less passionate but much more mature.  In fact they loved each other more at this point than they had ever loved each other.  Durring this time she began to uncover the secrets hidden in his book both by asking him and through discovering them for herself.  This brought endless joy to the couple.

They grew old together that odd couple.  Never once did his love for her falter.  And never once did she fully kick him out of the house.  A greater love was never to be found.



So, that about wraps up my story.

Haha, thanks, I like it too.  Do you know who they are?

See I told you that you would know.

Alright, you can get going now, I hope you enjoyed my tale.
