Difference in thoughts 4

Anna was 15 years old when she met John in a summer camp. John was 17 years old. She was from London and he was from France. For the two weeks which they were in the camp they got to  know each other better and John became the best friend that she had never had. After the summer camp had finished Anna and John kept in touch by letters.

They sent each other letters every week for six months. In the messages they talked about things which they had done during  that week and strange things that had happened to them. Every week that passed Anna started  to fall  in love with John. She wanted him to tell her about his  feelings but she was afraid of being rejected by him. She continued as if nothing was wrong so as not to change the relationship which they had. Meanwhile John stated to fall in love with her too but he didn't want to say anything because he thought she did not feel the same.

Eventually, Anna got the courage to tell him that she was falling for him. From that moment the relationship changed because John stopped writing letters to her. A few months later, John answered one of her letters and he said that distance was their worst enemy and he realized their relationship wouldn’t work.

A broken relationship 4

In June 2013 my friends and me went to one of our friends birthday. In this party I met a girl whose name was Anna, she was so pretty, friendly, polite… She was the girl of my life or this is what I thought at that moment.

I started to go out with her and everything was perfect, we were always together. We spent the whole summer talking about ourselves. We found out that we were equal , we even had the same tastes. As summer went ahead I fell more in love with her. She completed me, with her aside I could do everything I wanted, I was unbeatable. When the summer finished, it was time for her to travel to Barcelona to start her university studies. Each day without her was too painfull for me, I couldn’t believe that my love had gone out of my life. She said that we could try a distant relationship but everybody knows how they finish.

A month later, I couldn’t continue with this horrible relationship, distance was our worst enemy and I realised our relationship wouldn’t work. “I will always remember you, you have been the person who’s made my heart have crazy thoughts.”

The return of love 4

It was 5 am and we went to the airport. I saw him and he had crying eyes and he gave me a huge hug. I started to cry and then he kissed me as if it were the last time we saw each other, then I grabbed my baggage and I started to  get on board the airplane and I could hear him crying and I turned back before I went and I said "I love you". After that I went to Barcelona to start my studies at university and I had really good times but I missed having him next to me,  and seeing him at any time, hugging him looking into his eyes and  saying that we loved each other. For a while a good solution to this problem was Skype but then I didn't have too much time to connect and when I had I felt very sad because it was always like a cold relationship without hugs and kisses.

After three months the situation was getting worse day after day, it was something that was eating my mind and I couldn't concentrate on my studies and then I decided to put an end  to this situation because I saw that distance was our worst enemy and I realised our relationship wouldn't work. I called him and told him what I was thinking and I added that I couldn't wait for him for two years. He didn't answer me and then he started to cry and me too , but he admited that we had just grown apart and maybe it could be the right solution. 
When I returned to my city we never saw each other anymore, but three years later in Barcelona, I went to the café were I used to go and drink my coffee every morning and I looked around me and I saw him, and I couldn't believe it, he just smiled at me and I gave him a huge hug. We decided to drink our coffee together and talk about our life: he met a new girl but she wasn't the love of his life and he had finished his studies, I told him that I was in my last year at university and I was planning a trip to Mexico for a few weeks in summer. When we had finished he asked me "Shall we meet tomorrow?" and he was looking at me with these big brown eyes and smiling at me that I couldn't resist it and I said "Yes".
After that we started to go out almost every day until one day during my final exams, we met in the square and he was waiting for me and the first words he said to me were "I miss you". I couldn't understand and I asked him why he said that, and he said that he missed hugging me like in the past and being more than friends. I started to cry and I hugged him, he told me "I love you and I don't want to lose you" and I just kissed him.

Today, being in Mexico, I'm enjoying the heat of the sun on my skin lying on the beach with a tequila cocktail and by my side after 4 years I have the boy with whom I fell in love the first day that I saw him.

Nothing lasts for ever 4

Last Christmas holidays I went to Andorra with my family for two weeks because we had wanted to go to skiing for many years. When we were there I met a gorgeous girl, at the skiing resort and we became friends very fast, her name was Alice. On the 5^th day I went to have lunch with her and we spent all day together and it was  fun. That night I kissed her because I thought that I had nothing to lose because I wouldn't see her anymore when I came back to Menorca. But surprisingly she liked as well, so the following days were the best of holidays because we were together all the time. But, finally, I had to return to Menorca, then I realised if she hadn't liked me.

When I arrived in Menorca it became very hard for me to think that I wasn't going to see Alice for a long time. We used talk on skype, and it made me deal with her absence more easily. She told me that she wanted to come to Menorca in Summer to know Spain and to be with me and I was very excited about that idea, but when Summer arrived her parents sent her to an english camp in the UK so she couldn't come to see me. We kept the contact as we could, but we both had to study very hard so we didn't have too much time to talk and we started to grow apart. We didn't know if we could ever see each other again and it was killing us inside, distance was our worst enemy and I realised our relationship wouldn’t work, so I decided to try to talk less with her and not to remember her pretty eyes. Alice noticed that I was becoming cold with her and I had to tell her what I thought. She took it a little bad but then she understood it. And that's how we lost contact.

Now, I have another girlfriend from Menorca, but she is at the University studying in Barcelona. Once in a while I go to visit her, and last week, when I was there in a club in a party I couldn't believe what my eyes saw. There was Alice standing in the middle of the dance floor and she was staring at me, I think she was as surprised as me, then she walked to me and we spent some time talking about ourselves. Now she has a boyfriend too and next year she is going to study biology in Oxford. We've a very good friendship now and I've promised her that me and my girlfriend are going to visit her in Oxford the next year because I've always wanted to visit UK. From that relationship I've learnt a lot of things even though it didn't end as I expected.

A broken friendship 4

I still remember two years ago when I lost one of my close friends, Clara. She was friendly, happy, funny and we used to spend a lot of time together.

One day, she was offered to study business in London and of course she accepted. But this experience meant that we couldn't see each other for a while. At this point, there was nothing that I could do, so we decided that we would speak every week through phone or skype and that we would tell each other everything just to keep our friendship on. And that was how we spent the whole year. We spoke every week and through those conversations, she used to tell me that she had made a lot of new good friends, all of them from England and other countries. At Christmas, she returned to see her family and, at that moment, I was very excited to see her again. But our reunion wasn't as I expected because we were so used to being separated from each other that, when we set a day to meet , I felt that she wasn't the same girl I used to hang out with and speak for hours. She was a different person. So finally I decided that I had to talk with her and tell her that she wasn't the same. At that moment, when I had said everything that I felt like saying , she told me that she felt humiliated and that she needed time to think about our friendship.

That night I thought about it and I came to the conclusion that distance was our worst enemy and I realised our relationship wouldn't work because distance not only can affect a couple but it can also spoil a friendship.

The most emotional decision of my life 4

A few years ago, when I went to a party, my friends introduced me to a guy, called Josh. He and I chatted during all the party and after that he took me home. We seemed to get on well and I felt really happy to meet him. He was very kind and intelligent.

Later, we arranged to meet to drink some coffee. From this day, we became very close friends and we enjoyed doing different things together. Little by little, we began to fall in love with each other. However, I knew he had  to go away to study and the relationship would be quite difficult. When he went to study, we phoned each other every day and chatted online.

But a few months later, I realised we were growing apart because he had made new friends and was busy with university. I didn't feel good. I knew that the distance was our worst enemy and I realised our relationship wouldn't work. I felt really sad but I hope we can always be good friends.

Short love story 4

I'll never forget last summer. The story takes place in Menorca and in Madrid. One day, when the summer had just started I decided to go to Madrid for a week because I had some friends there. Something that I couldn't believe happened, one of my friends became my boyfriend. I had to come back to Menorca to work.

Once in Menorca we were in touch with Skype, we talked every night and I worked hard to have enough money to go to Madrid before starting classes again. Despite the distance we were happy and we knew for sure that we'd see each other again soon. In August I had an accident with my motorbike and he was very sad because he couldn't be beside me. But soon I was more or less OK again and I continued working hard. Finally I had the money to buy the flight tickets to see my sweetheart. September began and after my retaking exams I went to my boyfriend's house and we had wonderful holidays together. We took lots of photos together, we went out with his family and lots of different things.

Then I had to come back and start school again, everything went alright, we talked every night using Skype as always but some weeks later we weren't feeling so good. He didn't have the money to come to Menorca for Christmas and my parents didn't allow me to go there to visit him. We decided to continue with our relationship but every day was more difficult to live thinking when we would see each other again. Distance was our worst enemy and I realised our relationship wouldn't work. For that reason we agreed to break up and we did it in a strange way: saying “I love you”.

The best time of a relation: the idealization 4

Major William O’Connor came back home after four years fighting in Iraq. It was the first time he was on leave and he missed his lovely girlfriend Laura  a lot , a beautiful blonde young girl. Therefore, just when he steppet off (just after stepping off ) the plane, he immediately went to Laura’s flat. He didn’t tell her anything about his permission, he wanted it to be a big surprise for her. So, as she was working, he prepared a romantic dinner, with flowers, candles and lots of romantic things.

As William finished cooking, a man came into the house. The mit worsean left his jacket in the hall closet and he waved:

-Hi sweetheart, have you arrived earlier today? What you are cooking smells great!

Then he entered the kitchen and he saw William cooking.The two men looked at each other. Nobody said anything. At the same time, Laura entered the kitchen and she found this unexpected scene.

-Oh William what are you doing here? - she asked - You were in Iraq, weren’t you?

-Yes, I was - he said vexed - but this month I was given a permission to see you. And now respond me: who is that man?- he asked - what is he doing here?

Laura was every time more agitated and worried and William was already angry. The second man understood that something was going on and that he could only make so  he decided to go out of the kitchen. Meanwhile, Laura and William kept arguing:

- Well...you know… he is a friend that I knew some weeks ago...- she was soo nervous- ...and you were not here...and…

-Are you telling me that you have a relation with this guy? - asked him - When did you expect to tell me?!

Then there was a long silence.

-When I was at war, to see you was my greatest wish, but now, I have understood something...distance has been our worst enemy and I’ve realised our relationship will not work because you can’t be loyal to me and I won’t be a cuckold .

After saying that, he took his jacket and the flowers he bought her and he left the house for ever. Laura met other men and she never got married with any of them; William realised that the best part of a relationship is the idealization of the person you love and he spent all his life looking for this perfect idealization.

The first love 4

Everybody lives an unforgettable love story once in their live. When you live a special moment with someone, you don't know it at the moment, it's after some time when you realise it has been a situation to remember. That kind of story happened to me with my first love, the one that it's said to be the only true in life.

My story began three years ago, in September. It was the typical month when summer is coming to an end and "back to school" starts. But that year was a bit different because I didn't know anybody in my new class and that worried me, I didn't want to feel alone. However, things turned out differently, I met a lot of people and I made good school friends, one in particular. A boy called James who was different from the rest; I felt that there was a special connexion between us and I was right because it was love at first sight. We started to go out and do a lot of things together. Everything was groovy, like a perfect dream. Nevertheless, things changed without any warning, James's parents lost their job and the only option they had was to move to another city. We were too young and the situation was complicated, then we understood that distance was our worst enemy and I realised our relationship wouldn't work.

I fell out of touch with him, I started a new course and I got over with help from my friends and family. Anyway, he will always be in my heart and If I see him someday, I'm sure we'll have a great time remembering our story.

Menorca, my salvation 4

I will always remember the day when she left me. It was a cold and stormy Friday afternoon and I had just finished working. I was walking through the station in order to get on the bus which would take me home, when, suddenly, my phone started ringing. It was my wife, Fiona. At first I got shocked as I didn’t expect that call; however, I answered it and listened to what she wanted to say to me. It was terrifying.

Fiona and I had been good friends since Primary School; actually, we had known each other since we were two because we had lived in the same neighbourhood. When I reached the age of eighteen, I left Suffolk –my native city- because  it was time to study a degree. After getting my university degree –five years later–, I came back to my home town, where one day I came across Fiona, who had decided not to go on studying anymore when all her classmates and I chose to do it. During all those years, she had been going to the gym, so she had lost a lot of weight; she was simply gorgeous. As a result, I immediately fell in love with her; it was love at first sight. At the beginning I didn’t tell her about my feelings; nevertheless, a few months later, I asked her out. We started a marvellous relationship which had to last forever; in fact, soon we got engaged and afterwards we got married. We were having a wonderful and enviable life until Fiona’s boss told her to leave Suffolk because his enterprise needed her in London. Therefore, she had to move to the capital, where she hired a room in a shared flat. The first days without her were hard, but I was able to overcome them because we talked on the phone every night. However, some months later, I began to feel worried: we had stopped talking every day; now we only talked when I called her. At that moment I understood distance was our worst enemy and I realised our relationship wouldn’t work. I began to suspect that things were going wrong, although I did not believe it until the fatidic day arrived: six months ago, when I was getting home, she phoned me to tell me that she had fallen for her flatmate, who was far handsome and richer than me. It was the last time we spoke.

The days that followed that sad announcement were really hard for me because I fell into depression: I stopped eating and I wasn’t almost able to get up. Due to this situation I decided to leave my job and move to a new country. My choice was Spain and concretely Menorca. Since then, my life’s improved a lot: I’ve found a job as a salesman and a new girlfriend too. Everything is perfect now, so I won’t let her go away as I did with Fiona.

Just a summer love 4

Years ago, at the end of spring, I was invited to Rachel's birthday party. I was having a good time when suddenly Rachel came to me with a cute guy called John and she introduced us. At first, I was embarrassed but then we started to talk and we spent all night together, so we realized that we had a lot in common. 

I think that it was love at first sight because after that party we used to chat every day and some months later we started going out. That summer was really good with him, we went to beaches, to parties, and we had lot of fun. I actually thought that we were doing things right and we could have a long and serious relationship. However, at the end of summer my father told me that he had some bad news; we had to move out of the country because of his job. I explained to John that I was leaving the country and we couldn’t see each other anymore so I cried a lot. Although we had said that we wouldn’t grow apart, it happened. John told me that he had known another girl so I got furious. After that we spoke about us and we arrived at the conclusion that distance was our worst enemy and I realised our relationship wouldn’t work. The next day we broke up.

Yesterday, my friend Rachel announced me that John got married five years later with another girl and now he is happy. I’m also feeling good with my husband and our two children.

A difficult relationship 4

It was a day like any other when Ana arrived home. She didn’t imagine that it would be a wonderful day. When Ana went upstairs she turned on the computer. As soon as she logged into Facebook, she saw that Miguel was connected. Miguel was the best friend she had made during summer in London. There, Ana had met a lot of people, but she had had a crush on the boy. Nevertheless there was a big problem; Miguel was from Madrid, and Ana lived in Mallorca. For this reason, they missed a lot.

After she had been thinking, the girl realized that Miguel had begun a conversation, however Ana didn’t know that he had really good news. After they had spent some time chatting, Miguel gave her an amazing idea: the boy invited her to stay some days in Madrid together. When Ana saw that they could be together again, she was extremely happy and she accepted immediately. They were planning a date for the meeting and they fixed the Christmas holidays. Suddenly, Ana accomplished that they had already been flat mates, so she knew him well. They would be together for a month! December was the best month of their lives. They didn’t have any arguments, and their relationship improved.

The day of the farewell arrived. They were really sad and heartbroken. They would never forget these holidays. At midnight, Miguel accompanied Ana to the airport. He told her they would never lose touch and they would see each other the next holidays. While Ana was in the plane, she thought that distance was their worst enemy and she realized their relationship wouldn't work. Eventually, as soon as she arrived at Mallorca, the girl phoned Miguel and they split up, but they would be close friends.

A bad enemy in a fantastic relationship 4

A year ago I had a relationship. We met on a social network, I had never seen him, but we had mutual friends. The boy was two years older than me, but the age gap doesn't matter when you are in love with someone. Day after day, we talked and one day we decided to meet.

When that day came, I was very nervous and excited , I didn't t know what our first date would be like. When we saw each other, we started to laugh. Then,we decided to go around and I was very surprised because we had lots of things in common. That day was wonderful! We fell in love at the first sight we saw each other.
Since that day, we started a relationship .We were a couple, we were in love, and we spent many moments together, which I will never forget. But one day, he told me that he was going to move to Barcelona to study a degree, I felt annoyed. Of course, we had the courage to stay together despite the distance, and in fact, we were together for two more years, but the distance made us cool off, because we didn't see each other for a long time, and I missed him a lot. However, the distance was our worst enemy and I realised our relationship wouldn’t work.

Eventually, this person is very important in my life, but distant relationship is very difficult, because you have to trust each other, improve comunication, and it's absolutely necessary to be sincere.
