By Izabela PrenkovskaPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

Once upon a time, in a small town nestled deep in the heart of the countryside, lived two young girls named Ruby and Lisa. They were the best of friends and shared a bond that went beyond friendship. Both Ruby and Lisa had grown up in religious families, where their parents instilled in them a strict set of values and beliefs.

Despite their families' teachings, Ruby and Lisa found themselves drawn to one another in a way that they couldn't quite explain. They discovered that their hearts beat faster when they were together, and their minds filled with thoughts and emotions that they couldn't share with anyone else.

Knowing that their families wouldn't understand or accept their connection, Ruby and Lisa resorted to secrecy. They would often sneak away to the deep woods, a place where they could be alone and free from prying eyes. In the heart of nature, hidden beneath the canopies of ancient trees, they found solace in each other's embrace.

In those quiet moments, far from the judgment of society, Ruby and Lisa would kiss and make memories that would forever be etched in their hearts. They felt a sense of euphoria and completeness, a love that seemed to defy the rules imposed upon them.

However, their secret rendezvous couldn't remain hidden forever. One fateful day, Ruby's mother, filled with suspicion and concern, decided to follow her daughter into the woods. She had grown weary of Ruby's absences and couldn't shake the nagging feeling that something was amiss.

What she witnessed that day shattered her world. Ruby's mother watched in disbelief as her daughter and Lisa exchanged affectionate gestures, unaware of the pain that would soon follow. Consumed by anger and disappointment, Ruby's mother couldn't contain her emotions any longer. She slapped Ruby across the face, her hand leaving a painful mark on her cheek.

With tears streaming down her face, Ruby's mother grabbed her daughter by the hair and dragged her back to the town. She wasted no time in visiting Lisa's family, eager to expose the truth and protect her own daughter from what she believed was a sinful relationship.

The news of Ruby and Lisa's secret affair spread through the town like wildfire. Whispers and judgments filled the air, weighing heavily on the young girls' hearts. Both Ruby and Lisa spiraled into a deep depression, their once vibrant spirits overshadowed by guilt, shame, and the loss of their connection.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. The pain of their separation never dulled, and the void in their hearts grew with each passing day. They longed for the warmth of each other's presence, the stolen moments of happiness they had once shared.

But life moved on, as it often does. Ruby found solace in the arms of a kind and understanding man named Troy Luther. He was gentle and handsome, a stark contrast to the fire that had burned within Ruby for Lisa. They married and started a family, blessed with three beautiful children. In honor of her lost love, Ruby named their eldest daughter Lisa, a reminder of the love that had once consumed her.

Lisa, on the other hand, couldn't move forward as easily. She couldn't bear the thought of settling down with anyone but Ruby, forever haunted by the memories of their stolen kisses and secret embraces. The pain of their separation clung to her soul like a shadow, etching its mark on her every decision.

Years turned into decades, and Lisa remained trapped in a state of longing and unrequited love. She dedicated her life to various pursuits, searching for solace in creative endeavors and meaningful connections. Yet, no matter how hard she tried, her heart still yearned for the love she had lost.

In the end, Ruby and Lisa's story serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by those who love against the tide of societal expectations. It highlights the pain of unfulfilled desires, the consequences of secrets, and the lasting impact of forbidden love. As time passes and life unfolds, the question remains: will Lisa ever find the peace and love that she so desperately craves, or will her heart forever be tethered to a memory from her past? Only time will tell.
