They were living in the 21st century, a century filled with opportunities, and with people that are living their best existence since humanity started.
Out 2 characters "met" online as in this century of speed this is how things work. No need to say about their on-line story as what was more important for them was just waiting to happen.
It was one of those autumn days in which the sun is burning like in the mid of the summer but the trees are showing their yellow-brown colors and are reminding you that summer is over. All thru that summer maybe they had so many opportunities to accidentally see each other or maybe they did but never paid to much attention. One of those autumn Saturdays when the sun is calling you outside to walk around, to enjoy his last strong rays till next year. He was allowing this day to pass as he was no longer in a mood to make plans or to have expectations. She already had in her mind that her day will be awesome that her evening will be great but little did she know at that time.
That evening had nothing special in-store at a first glance. The warmth of an evening that was announcing a cosie night was the perfect reason for anybody to go out. Not for him as he was roaming around social media without a purpose or he was just searching for the purpose. She was in a different mood, in a mood to go out with her friends and really take advantage of that night. It took just a insta story from her and a crazy moment from him in which he thought that this was the moment to see her eye to eye. He took some friends with him as courage was never his strong point when it comes to girls. He really wanted to see her and off he was at the same party. They never talked before, they just exchanged some likes but the energy of those yellow-brown trees somehow emboldened him that night to do more. He searched for her around an hour without any luck till the point he was about to give up when out of a sudden she appeared next to him. Maybe she was searching for him also or maybe it was that night that made them do it.
They met and he was simply absorbed by her, the party ended and it was like none of them wanted the night to end so they decided to walk around in search of another place. He was blocked he was not able to speak too much, he was so eager to tell her a lot but the words simply didn't want to get out. She was more of the quiet type but somehow with all their small talk and weird silence moments jut like teenagers they managed to create a connection. Although they didn't want that night was coming to an end so they decided to see each other the next day. The next day came and maybe his flower that he brought for her, maybe her smile, maybe what she said, maybe what he said made them finish the evening in a long kiss. A shy kiss, just like two kids that were having their first kiss ever.
Days passed and weeks passed and moths passed and the night between the years found them under the fireworks telling the other one "I love you" like it was a promise. It came as a surprise for both of them and it seemed as if they were so lucky to fall in at the same time.
Day by day they became closer closer, sometimes having the courage to tell the other important things and most of the time too scared to say what was bothering them as their past individual scars were still deciding their future. Their attitude towards each other slowly changed and by the end of the summer, they were splitting. How was this possible? where did they go wrong?
That magic from that autumn night was still there and they found it inside themselves to get back each other but without discussing their scars their small problems that brought them to that point. Their focus was only on the big points as somehow they were sure that's where they were on the same page. You might say that they were stupid to think this but sometimes fear controls everybody.
Shortly they decided to move in together, to create their world, to start building their own little habits that were making them both happy without realizing that those small things are still there.
The end of that year found the frustrated with so many things but their were playing their roles as if nothing was hidden in the background, without any of them having the courage to talk about the elephant in the room. Little did she know that he was thinking about making things more serious but how can you even dream about something like this when their were both ignoring the elephant.
A few months later it all ended out of a sudden and somehow taking them by surprise they found themselves this time in the position to show their scars. They tried talking only after they broke up, they started displaying their scars only at that point but without realizing that maybe it was too late.
It seemed that all the magic from those autumn yellow-brown trees shook off and they were not able to find their way back to each other.
He continued to try and day by day hee grew more tired and disappointed that nothing worked and he was not managing to get to her. With every try from him, she became more and more distant and the insta stories that once brought them together and he was thinking that they were a message for him now he was thinking that this is how he appeared and that's how somebody new will appear. Sometimes she was showing interest in him maybe for the sake of that magic or maybe because she wasn't sure that the magic fell off from that yellow-brown autumn tree.
That summer found them apart and more distant day by day.
Maybe this is how a love story ends or becomes something much stronger.
Maybe this is how the magic happens and the tree leaves turn from green to yellow-brown and fall off just to be green again and to prepare themselves for another magic.
Nobody knows.
