• there was a young man named Matt and a Young girl named Melanie. they were about 15 or 16 when they met. there was something about them that as soon as they first saw each other they fell in love. but their relationship had many problems. for one thing both of their families were pretty messed up. Matts sister was a cutter and threatened to kill herself. Melanies father was a drunk and lives in arizona while melanie and her mother who is also a drunk live in maryland. Melanie is french and always wanted to go to france. anyways, they were dating for about 6 monthes with a bunch of bumps along the way. one extreme problem was that matts parents didnt want him dating yet. melanie WAS alowed to date. also while these two were dating... her mom didnt believe that they were really in love. even through all the fights and all the times they got in trouble they never stoped doig what they were doing. until one horrible night. Matt was meeting melanie at her house and they were planning on doing some sexual things. it was about 1:04am and Matt had just arrived. he saw melanie sitting down under blankets. matt walked up to her and she jumped into his arms. "whats wrong? why are you all teary eyed?" matt asked. " i heard 2 gunshots and was thinking you got shot" melanie responded. they lied down on her front porch. then after about 23 minutes they stared doing some sexual things. there was so much passion and love that night. then thats when something nobody expected to happen... happened. at exacally 5:23am.... Melanies mother had came to the front. she saw us under the blankets and she yelled out "MELANIE WHAT ARE YOU DOING". my heart stoped for a second and i knew we were screwed. i look into melanies eyes and say... what now? she tells me to go home and i start to walk but turn around. "we were not doing anything... i wanted to see her.... im in alot of stress with my sister and all" i said to her mother. she just looks at me and sais.... " go back the way you came". i walk with the saddest look in my face... depressed, devistated, frightened, angered, and scared for me AND melanie. i fall to the ground and start to cry. once i get home i cry myself to sleep. i didn't here from melanie for about 3 weeks. thats when i decided to walk over to her house.... and guess what i found. nothing..... nothing at all.... the house was empty. her mom was so frustrated that she actually moved away...without any last words or anything like that.i walk inside and run to melanies room. all i see is a tiny picture. it was a picture of the IFIL TOWER in PARIS. i took this as a sign. i get about 5 of my closest friends and within 6 weeks we come up with enough money to get to paris.i tell my parents that im sleeping over a friends house but instead i rush to the airport. i land in paris and i see a man holding up a sign that says... "the reanaud family". i knew that melanie and her mother were here. i told the driver guy that i was the son of melanies mom. i waited in the limo thing and after about 6 minutes the door opens.i look and see Melanie coming in the door. i jump up and hold melanie in my arms. then i give her the longest kiss i ever gave her. i tell her mom that melanie is coming back home with me. her mother just stands in shock. after about 3 minutes of silence her mother says... "you have my blessing". that night melanie and i fly back to maryland hand in hand. we never let go of each other until we got to maryland. we end up at her old house and i look into her eyes and say "melanie... i love you... nothing will ever keep us apart ever again." from that day forth we have been inseperable. i am planning on marrying her as soon as i get about..21 or so. im 18 now so i can wait. welll thats my love story. i know i lived a messed up love life but hey... it's worth it.
