#TheUnrequitedLove

What's the true meaning of love? When you can't give but just receive and l ask why do you enter in a relationship if you know you don't feel the same for the other person. You watch them invest , they love , time , emotions , everything and you just take it all like it doesn't matter. What is love without truthfulness to self . Love is the two sides of a coin , we meet halfway.

(in Ella's apartment )

kept it all hidden, locked inside ,yet deep within she was silently screaming . Only if her words found there way through her pen Ella could have let it all out. The pain of a broken heart, teared and shattered .She couldn't hold herself anymore , tears flowing down like a river "why did he do this to me" she thought as she cried her heart out , suffocated she reached a dead end , taken down to her knee's. How can this anguish never known be blown to her by the wind carelessly. Who could have thought a perfect relationship like Ella's and Johnny can turn to a nightmare.

The year 2001 August 19 the girl Ella and boy Johnny meet for the first time in the history of their lives. Both studying Medicine though Johnny was on his final year and our darling Ella on her first year.
She was so different in so many ways , she knew what she wanted and she goes for it .On her first day she found a friend Rachel who was also her home mate. Since Rachel has been on the school for a year , she knew almost everything about everyone .

One faithful morning walking without looking where she was going ,Ella hit in to Johnny who was standing by the school corridor. " l'm so sorry" Johnny said but Ella was too busy admiring this gorgeous looking guy , as she bite her lips , to top it all when they picked the same books at the same time and hands meet hands , Ella felt electricity all over her body then eyes meet eyes , butterflies in her tummy . She was in love. " hello are you okay " Johnny said worried as she snaps out of it " oh l'm alright " Ella couldn't look in his eyes she became so shy .She picked her things and went more like running away.
But one thing for sure , she wanted him and she was going to get him one way or the other, she was that kind of a girl that goes for what she want and she doesn't take no for an answer.

The whole day , she was just thinking about him ' at list l should have asked his name' she thought ' but that was so embarrassing l behaved like a fool but you can't blame a girl ' she laughered , having conversations with herself was one of her habit."Hey girl what's so fun"Rachel was curious to know what was making her friend smile alone. Ella: Guess what l meet a guy today , tall , dark skinned , gorgeous pretty handsome my type , girl l want him
Rachel could not help herself but laugh The way Ella described him , Rachel already knew who she was talking about it can only be Johnny , the guy after every girls heart .
What's on your mind just say it Rachel l know you want to say something Ella was waiting to hear what her friend has to say .
Rachel: l know the guy his name is Johnny but he is not into girls
Ella : What ? is he a gay
Rachel: No he is just so forced
Ella: it's a good thing he is single watch and see how he is going to be mine just like that .
Ella was serious, she made sure , to get close to Johnny no matter how much he tried to push her away and eventually he begins to enjoy her company even though he was not in love with her.

The sky was sun , the perfect weather , the birds singing Melody . This is the day Ella's first thought as she wake up .
With all the excitement she was going to tell Johnny how she feels about him. She took her bath and dressed to kill after that in to the kitchen making her breakfast singing her favorite song by Alicia Keys

Ella singing

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
she's walking on fire
oh oh oh

she kept on repeating the lyrics until she was done cooking her meal.
she dishes up for herself since she was alone Rachel had traveled back home to see her family.

in Johnny's apartment

Johnny and Ray who sounded like they were arguing about something ,this two have been friends for only God knows how long .
"You know very well that l don't love Ella she's always on my space , l can't breath anymore plus l'm on my final year l can't be in a relationship with a first year student , very soon l will go back home and l can't do long distance relationship " this was Johnny talking to Ray who keep on insisting that Johnny should give Ella a chance since he was single , he had nothing to lose. ln between their conversations a knock form the door disturbed them and Johnny walked to the door to see who it was , " oh no this girl again" As soon as he opened the door Ella did the unthinkable . Johnny never saw this coming , as he was still in shock' Ella had kissed him' before he could even say a word "l love you" Ella said " l know this sounds weird but from the first day l saw you my heart skip , you don't have to say anything think about it just wanted to let you know how I feel just like that Ella left after trolling a bum at Johnny.


On the other hand Ray was laughing " this girl has some guts ,what was l telling you now " you should have just said yes
Johnny was pissed like hell ' l don't love her' l haven't meet the woman of my dreams yet , she is too forward for my liking.
Ray was busy texting Ella with Johnny's phone while he was busy ranting

( a text from Johnny)
Hey l think l'm in love with you too
l was just surprised about the whole thing but you did well to say it first ,l don't know how long it was going to take me to say it to you.

Ella typing

Johnny
yes my sweetheart

Ella
l'm so happy right now , l can't believe it

Johnny
Believe it .Let have our first date tomorrow l will come and pick you up 7:00pm shup

Wow that's so soon then l expected . Ella couldn't believe it but she was so excited about everything and couldn't wait for Tomorrow.


"Ray , Ray , Ray What have you done "
Johnny was streaming so loud , He had just saw the message between Ella and Ray ."Chill men you need a girl" at list you won't be calling me every two minutes. Ray had to convince his friend to just date Ella. This was the beginning of perfect relationship which Johnny never had to do anything . After Johnny graduated he went back home while he waits to find a joy and Ella always visit not even once did Johnny visit her or call but she never saw anything wrong with that she always justifies his actions.
blinded by Love even when her friend told her the truth " this guy doesn't love you Ella can't you not see , it's like you are in this relationship alone" those where her Friends word and she replied " my love is enough for the two of us" you are just jealous just like lot of girls here , they can't believe l got the men all of them failed to get.

Ella and Rachel's friendship was never the some again .
Until the until the incident when she found out that Johnny was cheating on her .
That's when she thought of Rachel there was now Fire in paradise.

Remembering how perfect their relationship was like there was never tomorrow , in a moment of love that was beyond perfect , Where the air was polluted with their love . Yes to Ella she never saw anything wrong with them , to her she was in love and Johnny loved her but Was it the some for Johnny .

in Johnny's apartment

Sitting with his legs up not even thinking about Ella who is probably crying her eyes out . All you could hear was laughter these two men were busy enjoying their conversations .

Ray: my guy , you are so love in with this new chick of yours

This was Ray , Johnny's best friend from high school , this two were inseparable and partners in crime.
their personalities where the same , the reason they got along so well .

Johnny: you know it all began with a glance and l felt butterflies in my tummy .l have never felt like that before . it just hit me so hard and l know she was the one.

Ray could see that his friends was taken by who so ever the name of the girl was
Johnny was speaking with his eyes closed , imagining the world of his own and the love of his life.

Ray :so you are trying to talk me that you never felt like that even with Ella ,that girl is over the moon for you .

Johnny: that's her problem, she was the one all over me , she could text , call , visit, you name it . It was too much , she never allowed me to chess her instead she was chasing me. And you know how us guys behave we don't like it when a girl chess us but if they do we give them what they want. At the end of day we have nothing to lose.

Ray : you are right men , you there's something about a girl who allows a men to chess her , it makes the game of love more interesting and the curious to know what's so special about her.

Johnny: you do understand what l mean. Ella never allowed me to do anything , she was the one in a relationship with me .

Ray: But on a serious note how did you end things with her because l know that girl she is madly in love with you.

Johnny: That was so easy you know how she is , l know if she calls , text and l ignore she will be at my door step in seconds and l just had to make sure that Liliana was here with me and she found us in an compromising position .
That's what's just happened.

Ray : you are so evil and Liliana is her name

They both just bust out in laughter to think what was fan , l guess that why they were friends , birds of the same feather flocking together.
