Lovers to Best Friends
Love; a connection between two souls who were destined to meet. This is the short story about two certain souls who met at dark times in their life but slowly transitioned from lovers to best friends. Brittney a newly 18 year old girl had just left an abusive relationship. She was constantly in fear and her mental health had gone down the drain. She decided to download a dating app just to try her luck not realizing she would make the connection of a lifetime. Brandon a young adult of just 20 years old had too also come out of an abusive relationship but had it slightly worse. He was mislabeled as an abuser by his ex and was wrongfully accused. He was living in fear of what this girl would do. So he too used this dating app not realizing he would also make the connection of a lifetime. Brittney and Brandon both connected with each other and soon met up in person and the connection between them was as powerful as the magic that spewed out of Harry Potter's wand in the battle between Harry and Voldemort. Brittney and Brandon talked and talk and they kept gaining new knowledge of the other person to the point where Brandon finally gained the courage to ask Brittney to be his girlfriend. Their love story blossomed and they slowly became each other's best friend. They laughed together and cried together. They pranked each other and tickled each other. They had good days and bad days but in the end they knew it was them against the problems that arrived and not them against each other. Love works in mysterious ways, there was no way that Brittney nor Brandon would have known they were going to find their soulmate but they did. They found light in each other in their darkest times. In the famous words of our favourite HeadMaster Albus Dumbledore; “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, only if one remembers to turn on the light.” Love; the strong connection between two souls destined to meet.
