IMPOSSIBLE TO RELY ON SOMEONE

This story of love, or not of love, started three years ago in a disco. There were a lot of people. It was love at first sight for us. Susan was a nice and funny girl, she had long brown hair and dark eyes. Also, she looked quite pretty. I was tall with short blond hair and blue eyes. I think I looked attractive and strong. She was dancing with her friends when I began to chat her up. As a result, we clicked as soon as we met.

A few months later, we started going out together and it was a true love story. However, it all changed when I met Kate’s mother. She was a young mother, she was only 30, her daughter 18. She was gorgeous and really appealing but she wasn't very nice with me beacause she didn’t agree with the age difference between us… I was 24 and she thought that 6 years were too many. She even was upset and threw me out. I didn't understand it. Nevertheless, the next day, despite the last night, I received an SMS which said “We will meet at 10am at home. My daughter will be at school”. I was astounded… Kathy was my mother-in-law! In spite of this, I went to Kathy’s home. When I arrived, Kathy said that she was really smitten for me and her daughter wouldn’t know anything about our relationship. I realised that I didn’t really love Kate, so I started to cheat on her. One day, we met at home and the worst thing that could happen, happened. Kate finished classes earlier, so she went to visit me. She didn’t tell me to give a surprise. But the surprised was her… When she opened the door she found me having an affair with a woman, and that woman was her mother!

Kate was really amazed, she couldn’t say anything, she went out as fast as she could. She was heartbroken and devastated. Hours later, I worked up the courage and I tried to call her but it was useless. Suddenly, every time I called her, she didn't answer the phone, so I decided go to her house and speak. When I arrived, the door was opened and the silence reigned. It was unbelievable what I was seeing there. She was lying down on her bed and it was full of blood. She was dead, she had committed suicide... I couldn't say a word... I was absolutely astounded... I had really, really screwed her up. She was betrayed and she couldn't get over it.

A scare at the party

NARRATIVE

My friends and I were having a party in my house, in La Argentina, because we were celebrating one of our friend’s birthday, Carlos. We were twenty people, although we were many people, the party was going well.

We ate, drank, spoke and played. We were having a good time until, suddenly, the lights went out and we were very frightened. In addition, the weather was bad, there was a big storm and it rained all night. In fact, the situation looked like a horror film. Moreover, while we were in the living room we saw a strange shadow across the window and then, we noticed that one of the axes that my father uses to work wasn’t in its place.

Then we took some pans and the mobile phones to go carefully around the house. When we were in the kitchen, we saw one of our friends lying with blood!!

Fortunately everything had a reason: the shadow was my cat, the axe was behind a tin and we didn’t see it, and also the blood wasn’t really blood it was ketchup, my friend was joking. Luckily everything was a scare but we spent a really good night. 

Alfonsito my imaginary friend.

Come here my little granddaughter, I am going to tell you a tale, which is a real tale.

When I was 8 I met Alfonsito, my imaginary friend, he was a little boy, who I saw him all nights, when he came my room, then he told me stories of his life, However, he never told me how he died.
One day, he told me, he died in a car accident when he was 7.
Every year he turnd more trasparent, finally he disappeared on my 18 birthday. Although I knew that would happen, I wasn't prepared.
But, even though  I haven’t seen him for ages, I know he will always be my friend, and although I don't see him, I know he is with me.

I am 88 years old, I know when I die, I will see him, also the day before of his disappearence, he said to me where I could find him.

Long-distance relationships don't work

Five years ago I used to be  an astronaut. I used to have an extreme life, always on the move, never settled down anywhere. My life was about studying astronomy, investigating anything to do with space, and at the same time I was quite a succesful musician. During my music career, I formed a music band and I met a girl who turned out to be a very  important person in my life.

Everything was going perfectly, I couldn't possibly complain in any way at all.One day, I was asigned a very important mission, which involved going to the moon. Of course this mission was planned to last a year, and communication with Earth was a complicated task. At first, I was enjoying myself and I learned so many things. I couldn't play any music, and that was very frustrating, but I met new people working on the same project. I kept thinking about what my girlfriend was up to, I never stopped thinking about her, even though I didn't know if she would be  thinking the same thing.

After so many months up in space, I realised that things weren't gonna work out. She probably would have forgotten about me, It was a mistake to have that kind of job and be in a relationship.At that moment I realized long-distance relationships don't work.

My friend Carla has had a very difficult couple of months, it all started since her boyfriend Pupo left the island to go back to his own country Cuba. They had been together for almost a year and they were madly in love with each other, they did everything together and you could never see one without the other, they were the perfect couple.

I remember that day like it was yesterday, that day when Pupo told her he had to leave the island for being an illegal immigrant and was being sent back to Cuba. As soon as he told her, she called me and urged me to come see her, I could sense that there was something wrong with her just by hearing the tone of her voice. When I got to Carla's house, I found her crying in the bedroom, she was the saddest that I've ever seen her be. I felt so sorry for her and so angry with myself for not being able to do anything for her, they were so perfect for each other and now he had to leave. A couple of days went by and Pupo was leaving for Cuba, before leaving he promised Carla that he would come back and till then they could do a long-distance relationship, she agreed and promised to never forget him. I knew it would be tough on them both but I though that if anybody can make a long-distance relationship work it would be them two.

As time gone by Carla still felt like there was something missing, I tried to cheer her up by organizing a surprise party, it was a big mistake. The party was going great until Carla drank too much and started being angry with everyone and left, I was worried sick trying to find her, God knows what she could do. The next day police called me, Carla committed suicide, at that moment I realized that long-distance relationships don’t work,they could not work because the relationship is just not strong enough and people start to cheat or you miss your partner just too much.

He was 50 years old and his name was Bernart. He told us many stories of when he was young. When we had warmed up he approaching at the village and our mothers quarreled us, but we only remember the stories we had told Bernart.

MY FRIEND KIDNAPPED

For the last few years, Fran has been missing and no one knows where he is. The police of the city think that he was raptured. The first two years, the people of the town had a little hope that Fran returned, but it was not. Gradually, this hope vanished.

Fran and I were good friends and we always passed our free time together. I met him when I was five years old. When I was younger I live in another city and when we moved to Mahón, we started to live next to Fran’s house, since there we became friends, because he helped me to feel better when I had no friends, and we began to do everything together, when I was with him I felt happier than ever, because he always made ​​me laugh and made me forget about everything.

During the last years, I have not lost hope of seeing him again, because I know that he is a person with a strong personality and he would get back. Although he has been missing for ten years and I haven’t seen him for ages, I know he will always be my friend, and he always be in my heart.

Under the bed and goodbye.

One day I went to a party to a friend’s house. We were playing hide and seek, I hid under a bed and there was a boy too. We were scared when we saw each other, and ended up laughing. Due to this, we became friends, and finally, we started dating. I was very happy! He was funny, loving and very understandable.


One day, he invited me to dinner in his house. That day, I was at home very bored and I fell asleep. When I woke up, I realized that I would be late, and I decided not to go. I was very worried and sad. Suddenly, every time I called him, he didn’t answer the phone. He stopped coming to school, nobody knew anything about him, and I was destroyed.


After a week, I received a call from him! I was very happy to listen to his voice! He explained to me that his mother had told him that they had to move to Germany, because his father had found a job there, and he couldn’t say goodbye to anyone. We decided to call each other every day, and for the moment the relationship goes well, although I miss him a lot.

That lovely boy

Yesterday I met John for the second time. We have been dating for a week, so now he's my boyfriend. I first saw him two weeks ago, at my best friend’s party. She invited him even though I didn't know him. She introduced him to me and talked for an hour. It was love at first sight, he was gorgeous and I really liked his personality even if I had only known him for an hour. I knew we would end up together, and after two days he asked me out.
Everything was perfect with him, he took me to lovely places, and he was very intentional. But a few days later he was acting strange and suddenly, every time i called him, he didn't answer the phone. I started to worry, but his close friends said to me that this behaviour was normal, that he has moments like this when he wants to be alone. I thought that wasn't normal, because I was his girlfriend I had to know if he had problems, to maybe try to help him.The following day I went to his house and he explained to me that his grandmother had died and that was the reason for his sadness. He said to me that he was sorry, and after that we have always said everything to each other, because that helpes our relation ship to get stronger.

A friendship that will last forever

I'll always remember my best friend, he's a short, smart and kind boy, named Nicolas, from Argentina. The first time we met was when we were four years old in kindergarten, but the unusual about that was that we were neighbours and we'd never met before!

Afer two years of friendship, my parents decided to move to Spain in order to find a better job. I was very sad and I barely remember our childhood together because of the ages, but two years ago we started ti chat by Facebook and e-mail. At first, it was very strange for me and I couldn't get used to getting in touch with him by Internet, but I realised it was more practical tahn phoning each other because of the time difference. After that, I went to Argentina for two weeks and we met a few times. When I had to come back, we agreed to get in touch.

I haven't seen him for ages, but I know he'll always be my friend and we can count on each other. I hope one day we have the chance to meet again and have a great time together.

The power of friendship

When I was a child I met a girl who lived one street down from mine. Our parents were friends and we saw each other very often so we soon became friends. We always spent good times together. We gradually grew and became best friends. We shared secrets, confessions, adventures and many experiences.

One day she called me and told me that she had something very important to tell me. I realised that she was very sad so I went quickly to her house. When I arrived I saw a lot of boxes and she told me that her father had a new job and they had to move immediately to another city. We were both very sad but we promised that we would call each other very often. We did but as we grew up it was difficult to keep the same contact as before.

Now, many years later, we call each other twice a year to see how we are. Although I haven’t seen her for ages I know she will always be my friend for all the moments we lived together.
