LOST IN LOVE

"YOUR NOT PART OF THE FAMILY ANNE" Although she is simply an adopted child, the word cause her to feel extremely wounded because her so-called sister tormented her. They don't like her and always bullied her. Growing up, Anne had always felt like the black sheep of her family. She was the middle child, sandwiched in between her older sister and younger sister. Throughout her childhood, she was constantly teased and bullied by her older sister, Claire, who seemed to delight in making her miserable. Anne was a quiet and shy girl, and Claire would often make fun of her for it. He would call her names and belittle her in front of their parents. Anne became increasingly withdrawn, spending most of her time alone in her room, trying to avoid her sister's cruel taunts. Even her parents seemed to favor Claire over her. She was the star athlete of the family, and they always seemed more interested in her achievements than in hers. Anne longed for their attention, but it seemed like she could never do anything right in their eyes. Things began to change when a new family moved in next door. They had a daughter who was around Anne's age, named Lily. Like Anne, Lily was quiet and reserved, and the two girls quickly bonded over their shared experiences of being bullied and feeling invisible. As they got to know each other better, Lily started to notice just how unhappy Anne was at home. Claire's bullying had taken its toll on her, and it was clear that her parents weren't doing anything to stop it. Lily knew that she had to do something to help her friend. One day, Lily approached Anne with an idea. "Why don't you come over to my house after school and hang out with my family?" she suggested. "We always have so much fun together, and I think you'll love it." Anne was hesitant at first, but she decided to give it a try. She went over to Lily's house that afternoon and was immediately welcomed into their family. Lily's parents were warm and kind, and her two older brothers were friendly and funny. They ate dinner together and played board games, and Anne found herself laughing and enjoying herself in a way that she hadn't in a long time. For the first time, she felt like she belonged somewhere. Over the weeks and months that followed, Anne became a regular visitor at Lily's house. She and Lily spent countless hours talking and playing together. Life is so hard for Anne as she's only found beside the trash can outside their home "it was raining one night" her father started revealing her when she was at the age of seven " as I threw the rubbish outside I heard a baby crying and it really breaks my heart when I see you and I cannot imagine how your mother just leave you there in that situation" her father continued.She cannot stop crying at that very young moment and it's very clear to her what had happen. Older sister Claire, who constantly called her "stay away from me rubbish." It broke her heart that no one loved her, and the youngest child, Blaire, was also mean to her because the older sister had brainwashed her into believing that she was nothing more than a rubbish. Although she had a difficult existence, she managed to graduate from primary school with honors, but her family still Consider her as nothing. Anne was always alone because Her parents were always busy with work and rarely spent time with her. They never seemed to care about her feelings or emotions. Anne desperately craved their attention, but no matter how hard she tried, her efforts were always futile. Anne felt isolated and out of place in her own family. Her siblings would often bully her and her parents ignored it, leaving Anne feeling helpless and alone. She would often spend time in her room, trying to come up with ways to make her family take notice of her. As the years passed, Anne's family got increasingly distant and her feelings of loneliness only deepened. Her friends had noticed that she was gradually becoming more introverted and withdrawn. They tried to talk to her but Anne felt like she didn't belong in their presence. One day, Anne decided to take a long walk by herself. She felt like no one understood her and wanted to be alone in her thoughts. As she walked, tears streamed down her face as the pain of her loneliness became too much to bear. Anne soon came across a park where she saw children playing and laughing together happily with their parents. It's like a dagger hit her heart how she wish that she has also a loving family. Suddenly, a man bumped and grabbed her hand she shouted "let me go" but the man only said "RUN". She tried to pull his hands with all of her strength, but she was unable to do so because he was so strong. She could do nothing but run since the man was dragging her. It's odd to think that despite her current broken heart, running with this man helps her feel better. She kept yelling, "Let me go!" But the man remained silent, pulling her hands. They ran as fast as they could, luckily they mislead the bad guy " what happen to you why their running after you?." the man just looked down with despair "I'm sorry they snatch my wallet and I cannot fight them back because they have some guns and I choose to run" Jack started " I'm sorry that I have no choice to bring you when I accidentally dragged you" the man still looking down. "I am Jack hopefully you will forgive me". Anne feels the sincerity in his voice. " it's okay by the way I'm Anne" "I'm sorry to meet you this way Anne" Jack said to Anne " I hope we met in a better time and better place." It's ok the important thing right now is we are safe" Anne Replied with a soft voice. In a while they suddenly looked each other's eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. They had made it out alive, but they were still in danger. it seems they knew already in a long time it makes her heart beats so fast seeing the dark eyes of Jack. As jack's cannot take his eyes off to Anne's lips also like tempting him to kiss her. "what can we do now?" Anne break the silence. They had no idea where they were. They decided to keep moving, hoping to find a road or a town. They walked through the forest for hours, avoiding any signs of civilization. They did not want to risk being spotted by the bad guy. They finally found a road and followed it until they saw a beach. The sun was setting over the vast blue sea, casting a warm golden glow over the powdery white sand. The gentle breeze carried the scent of salt and sea, and seagulls circled overhead, as if bidding the day goodbye. As they walked along the shoreline, they talked more about themselves - their dreams, fears, passions, and hopes as nothing happened. The ocean was their confidant, and the beach was their sanctuary away from the world. They had been in the water for a good hour before coming back to shore. Jack and Anne were lying on the beach, gazing out at the ocean. Suddenly, Jack leaned in "I love you Anne" and kissed her deeply, He has been craving for her soft lips for some time. He can't stop staring at this woman's lips, and he is certain that she is the one he has been looking for. sending tingles down her spine. The next thing Anne knows, she is responding to Jack's lips with a forceful breath because she is powerless to stop herself. She has no notion that the great stranger she had met would change her life forever; all she can remember is that she is comfortable and secure in his grasp. She is immersed in her own thoughts. As they lay there, they noticed a group of people nearby. It was a group of teenage boys, who were also enjoying the beauty of the beach. Jack and Anne didn't pay much attention to them and continued to hold each other. Suddenly, a loud whistle startled them. Jack and Anne looked up and saw one of the boys pointing towards them, laughing. "Hey, lovebirds! Get a room!" he shouted, and the others joined in, laughing and catcalling. Anne felt her cheeks turn red with embarrassment, and Jack stood up, his face flushed with anger. "Show some respect, man!" he yelled at the boys. "We're not doing anything wrong!" The boys continued to taunt them, and Jack's temper flared up. Anne could sense that things were getting out of hand, so she stood up and held Jack back. "It's not worth it," she said, calming him down with her soothing touch. "Let's just ignore them and enjoy the beach." Jack reluctantly nodded, and they walked away from the rowdy group. Anne put her arm around Jake's waist, and they continued their walk along the shoreline, the sound of the waves and the seagulls soothing their souls. As they walked, anne noticed that Jack was still angry. She knew she had to do something to cheer him up. She started tickling him, and he burst into laughter, forgetting all his anger. "You're so crazy," he said, pulling her closer and kissing her forehead. They continued to play around on the beach, building sandcastles and having water fights. The sun had set by the time they decided to call it a day. That night, they lay on the sand, staring at the starry sky. They talked about their future together, the places they wanted to see, and the life they wanted to build. Jake pulled Anne close, and they fell asleep in each other's arms, the sound of the ocean lulling them into a peaceful slumber. The next morning, they woke up to a brand new day, full of possibilities. They felt the warm sun on their faces, and the sight of the pristine beach stretching out before them made them feel alive. They spent the day walking, swimming, and exploring the scenic nooks and crannies of the beach. The more time they spent together, the more they fell in love. The beach had brought them closer than ever, and they knew that the memories they had made here would stay with them forever. As the sun started to set at the beach, Anne and Jake sat on the sand, holding hands, watching the waves crashing on the shore. They knew that they had to go back to the real world, but the memories of this magical place would stay with them forever. Anne leaned on Jake's shoulder, and he wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close. They watched the sun dip below the horizon, and the sky turned into a beautiful shade of orange and pink. "This place will always be special to us," Anne said, looking up at Jack. Jack smiled down at her, his eyes full of love. "Yes, it will," he said, kissing her forehead. "And no matter where life takes us, we'll always have these memories to cherish." They sat there for a while, watching the sky, lost in their own thoughts. They knew that the time had come to leave their paradise and go back to reality, but they felt grateful for the moments they had shared. As they stood up and dusted the sand off their shorts, they glanced one last time at the beach, bidding farewell to the tranquil scene. They knew that they would be back someday, to revisit the place where their love story had begun. Back to reality, Anne couldn't have asked for anything more; her life is now vibrant. Every day, Jack says "Good morning, my love," which gives her the impression that she is soaring into the skies. Even the anguish her family had given her had vanished, and she was now completely focused on Jack. At this point, she could not have asked for anything more than to be with Jack, who made her feel so unique every day. Then, one day, when they were eating dinner in a restaurant, Jack pulled something out of her pocket and leaned over to Anne and asked, "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" Anne couldn't believe what she was hearing at the moment, which made her very pleased, so she responded with a wide smile "YES I DO MY LOVE". Five months later, they made the decision to get married. Her sister, who had been pressured against her happiness, had nothing to do with it, and Anne knew that she was pleased at the time. They exchanged "I DOS" and were ecstatic inside. Jack and Anne deeply in love with each other. Jack was a successful businessman, and Anne was a dedicated stay-at-home mom, taking care of their two young children. Jack and Anne had everything they could ask for in life. However, their life was about to turn upside down. Jack's business started to decline because of the changing market trends. The profits lowered, and the expenses kept increasing. Gradually they started to feel the financially choked. Anne tried to cope up with the situation by reducing their expenses, but it was not enough. One day, Jack came home and told Anne that he had lost his job. Anne was in shock and didn't know how to react. They both realized that their once comfortable life was no more. The dream life they were living had now hit the wall of reality. They knew they had to step up and face the situation. Jack started looking for new job opportunities, and Anne went out to search for work as well. They decided to make a budget plan, and they both started cutting down their expenses. It wasn't easy for them, and they had to make a lot of sacrifices. They moved to a smaller house, Life was no more about fancy dinners and expensive trips. However, they fought through the tough times together and never lost hope. In the end, Jack and Anne learned the harsh reality of life. But, they also learned that they could cope up with anything together. They developed a newfound respect for each other, and it brought them closer. With hard work, perseverance, and love, they not only overcame the financial struggle, but they also emerged as stronger individuals and a stronger couple. They realized that the material possessions were not the source of true happiness, but the well-being of their family and each other's company was what truly mattered.
