Their story

He saw her fall into the pool, he stretched out his hand and held her he would never let her go, he had found the one. <br>She was just there never willing to take a step out of her own boundaries

Their story

 

I've been in this relationship since I was 20, I met him when I was 17 i was a fresher then, he was rude so I canceled him out of my books and I minded my business ever since then, life went great I had the people that mattered so close by that I forgot the people that barely made an impact or a dent in my life.

Then we collided again in my third year in college, I was still naive and innocent then and I thought that he was the most purest thing I've ever seen, he was really smart and handsome he was like a breath of fresh air I guess, my mind would run wild just thinking of him but at the end of the day u was me and that was only a phase in life or so I thought.

Then he started to like me and thing went on a roller coaster from there, he asked me out I rejected his offer I felt unread for any serious thing then I just wanted to study hard and be what I always wanted to be "an architect" independent and hardworking but I guessed my destiny was always in that part I didn't want to take.

But I was seduced by it enticing words and promise of a sweeter and better future that I fell. I fell too hard and there would always be consequences. 

He was different I could tell he knew me, he saw me, and he was willing to stand by and help me change and for that alone I was grateful, my friends adviced me against it but I was adamant

It started small, pure and innocent then it went wild, dirty and guilt, I wanted him all too myself and I was willing too change for it too, he was gentle, sweet and caring. He cared for my friends even if they didn't like him so much he did a lot for them hoping it would impress me, and we it did I was already a gunner for him.

After 6 month of intense wooing I accepted I was now his girlfriend, he was so happy I could see his hidden smile each time he had to tell someone that I was his girl and it mad me contented, I didn't have much but the little I had was enough I taught.

I had always been very stubborn and prideful and that was one of our major problems in our relationship, he need someone to listen, be submissive and be respectful.

I need someone to unload all my burden on and still feel safe, in fact I didn't need a boyfriend I need a someone to guide, hold and understand me as I was always down and closed off from the rest of the world.

He tried everything but my walls were always there to block all his effort. I was someone so tight (like a stick was shoved up my ass) I was trying so hard to cover up so that no one would see the cracks or see the weak little girl hiding in the cupboard away from all her problems. The insecurities behind the strong facade the many time I cried and weeded they would only kw what I wanted them to know, the rest will be my burden to bear.

They would never see me Crack talk more of break I kept saying to my self. I would stand strong and act capable even when my knees tried to buckle, I would shift fear and pain away till I conquered at all cost, losing was not an option it was either I win or I win.

But he was there all along at the side lines hoping and praying I let him in but each time he tried harder I shut him out even more and slammed the door in his face, but he wasn't giving up on me he was going to be here no matter what this was a new feeling and I was terrified by it.

Would he break her walls??

Or will she ruin him like the rest??

 

This is their story and it is just the beginning.
