Short Story

We had to write a short story with between 450-600 words. It was free style. I chose to write a romantic story.

What love can do

'She's so perfect, I can't even imagine something more perfect, she's beautiful', Jaden thought about Hayden.

It had been since second year, their love had gone on for full years. Not one fight nor argument.... Until something terrible happened. It all started in Raymond River middle school, they were in chemistry class sitting together... Just when he asked her to prom, it was romantic and all but since they were together forever.

   Five years later they went to the beach to celebrate their fifth year anniversary when a big wave appeared and took Hayden into the water. She disappeared for two minutes and Jaden jumped in and saved her. He put her on his back and swam back to shore, she was unconscious. The life guard gave her mouth to mouth breathing, but she didn't answer, he gave her mouth to mouth again, but this time she answered.

  Jaden was so happy that he hugged her and she went back home. When she got home she realized she had forgotten her towel so she went back to the beach to get it, but when she got there Jaden was kissing another girl called Jamie. She was blond with blue eyes, a typical model. Hayden was so mad she started shouting at him 'I can't believe you, we break up, forever'. After that she cried and went home. When she got home she started getting all the pictures she had with him, everything he gave her, put it in  a bag and threw it away.

  She felt like trash, used and then thrown away. After that she went back to the beach and saw nobody was there so she sat at shore and started crying. That's when Nate appeared and said: 'I know you're mad but you have to know, he never deserved you, he has been with Jamie for a month now. He said he wanted "something new", that you were getting old and he wanted a change'. He sat next to her, hugged her and said: 'I love you'.

  She looked at him and smiled and said: 'Me too'. They kissed and started a relationship, they did what any other couple wouldn't do, they had a special spark. They would spend day and night smiling.

  Four years later they graduated and moved to an apartment together but when the university applications arrived, only one of them entered.

  It was the moment when they opened the envelope. Hayden didn't make it, but Nate did. Hayden cried for days just when Nate told her 'If it makes you feel better I said no to Yale' Hayden told him 'You didn't have to do that, go to Yale' and he answered 'If you're not there, I won't either'.

  The next day they went together to have some a coffee, once they were done they went to the train station. Jaden was coming home from work and he saw them getting on a train together and that was the last time he ever saw them.
