Short stories: Falling in love

by Melody Little

Created on: December 28, 2008

There was a young woman not to long ago who had always seemed to find the wrong men. This young woman would always pick the man who was what she thought the perfect man for her. This young woman's name is Harmony, you see Harmony grew up in a large city where it seemed nothing was ever the same. Every time she would step out of her door there was always someone new outside. Harmony had always been the quiet unmotivated woman that never stepped out of line for she was scared that if she broke her routine or she changed something it would always end worse than if she was to leave well enough alone. Harmony would always wake at 6:35 in the morning, then as clock work she would get up put her slippers on and always the right before the left. Then Harmony would stretch for 10 minutes no more no less, then she would head to the bathroom an do her normal routine. After 45 minutes of being awake she would call whomever she was dating hoping she would be the first voice that they heard that day.


Harmony is a woman that would give her heart to a man that was sick in hopes that it would give him a full life so that he could make the best of the time he has remaining on this plane. Harmony at this time was with a man named Allen he was so good to her he seemed to be the perfect man for her, as was any man that entered Harmony's life. One day before the alarm played the enchanting alarm that it had played every morning for 5 years Allen calls " Hey Harmony we need to talk, I can not do this anymore" Allen said, Harmony felt her heart drop " What about dear is everything ok what happened, what are you talking about" as she was trying to hold the tears back. See she had never had a boyfriend that stayed around for more than 6 months at a time, except her best friend of 14 years Robby. Robby has always been the admirer from afar, he has always loved Harmony but she was never single long enough for him to make his move. As she starts to tear up Allen says" This relationship is getting to serious I can not do this anymore I have to go I still have things to do". Harmony falls to the floor once again the same thing is happening how could this be why is this happening to me.
As Harmony walks out the door, tears streaming down her face, she looks up to see if anyone notices that she is crying. Robby is standing in the elevator as the doors open Harmony lifts her head , by this time all she can see is blurs of people and things. Robby runs up and swaddles her trying to calm her down. Harmony holds him like she has never held him before. Does she know it's me? This question racing threw his mind over and over again. He lifts her head tenderly as their eyes meet she leans in. What do I do? Maybe this is my chance . Robby leans to kiss her their lips touch and sparks fly. Harmony immediately stops crying and wipes away her tears, she opens her eyes to see Robby. "ROBBY" she shouts, as she thinks of all the times he has been there for her and how he is always there to catch her when she falls. "Yes it's me im here I am here for you" Robby says to Harmony. Harmony starts to cry, " Why Are you crying?" asks Robby. As Harmonys vision starts to blur again " Because the one person who truly loves me, and him I love as well has been in front of me the whole time" Robby grabs Harmony holding her tight "I have always loved you, and from this day forward will never leave your side"
