WHEN LOVE GETS TOO CLOSE
272 Words
Months passed and the tutorial program ended, leaving a void between them. No more morning greetings. No more sitting beside each other. No more stealing glances when the teacher turned around.
Samuel gathered courage and invited Alice to his home.
Their first meeting felt too natural to be real. They talked endlessly, shared secrets, fears, dreams. Time slipped by unnoticed.
Then it happened—softly, unintentionally, beautifully.
A kiss.
Then another.
And another.
It was innocent at first…
but fate is rarely kind to young lovers who think they understand the world.
On a later visit, intimacy grew deeper. Not rushed. Not planned. Just two hearts following the warmth between them.
That day changed everything—though they didn’t know it yet.
Life rarely warns before it hits.

Time moved, and both of them gained admission.
But destiny pulled them in opposite directions.
Samuel was posted to a school in the South.
Alice gained admission in the North.
Their hearts sank.
Their story was about to become a long-distance relationship—one of the hardest tests for young love.
They talked it through, promising loyalty and trust.
They believed their bond was strong enough.
Samuel resumed first.
The reality of school hit him like a truck.
Lectures. Practical sessions. Long queues. Assignments that multiplied overnight. An entirely new environment.
He barely had time to sleep.
Alice felt the difference immediately.
The calls became shorter.
The chats became fewer.
The conversations became dry.
She felt abandoned.
Invisible.
Forgotten.
But Samuel wasn’t forgetting her—he was drowning.
In responsibilities.
In pressure.
In fear.
Two hearts, one distance.
And cracks began to appear.
