Time changes everybody. It’s inevitable to say the least. Whether it’s for the good, bad, or simply growing up, time always catches up to us. Just like it did for him. Twenty odd years ago he could remember that thick flowing black hair in the sunset light of the capes, the music blasting, the fun talks and jokes, and the sweet smell of salty air and sand. A beautiful and warm face that would sit across from him, be something as a companion rather than just a best friend. He told her everything. All his inner secrets and quirks growing up. They shared late nights on the phone, hiding away in the closet so as to not wake their parents from their homes. Summer days at the beaches, road trips galore and of course shared many many classes together. People thought of them as a couple when they were younger, but it was far from the case. Well, feelings could’ve been there.. But at such a young age, anxiety would get the best of either of them, only ever sharing hugs and high fives.

Times changed.

The two grew apart. She was shipped halfway across the country for school to an amazing university, while he tried his best to stay local with his education. Though, she was always the smarter of the two. He knew that. She was fun, creative, intelligent as hell. Even at some points having her tutor him on some rather easy topics but, it was just to spend more time with her and scrape by with a simple C minus. While she was the shining book, he was more so the dusty one, an uncertain future to say the least.

The two slowly fell out of touch. She was wrapped up in her degree, attending multiple clubs and award ceremonies, he was left back home trying to pick up whatever semblance he had of life in front of him. He was still young. Early twenties, more than enough time to go back to school, get a degree, meet new people.

She never came back home from school, her parents sold the house before she ever could, telling him they were moving away. Why? Who really knew. Years passed. She stopped responding to the emails. She stopped answering phone calls. Her number became inactive.

Twenty odd years later, a city trip with a few guy friends was more than a good time. Single men in their thirties and forties, forgetting about the women of their lives and taking a vacation on work. Time to go to clubs, sightseeing, hell even do some crazy things while their youth was slowly fading away. Time does catch up to us all, remember. Though, upon this trip late in the evening he was out on walk alone after a late night of drinking with the guys. Of course they went back to the hotel rooms but for him? He needed some fresh air. Life was dismal and boring still. A boring life he was living. He felt useless in a sense. Things never really recovered since *she* left. But, he couldn’t blame her. She was living her life somewhere now, he always knew she’d be successful in whatever she did.

Billboards and ads were always common in the city, lighting up the streets at night for pedestrians and cars. Though as he walked, he stopped to take a look up at the neon lights, the moving pictures. There she was.

‘*Name to be decided* for Louis Vuitton, Fall/Winter 2023.’

There she laid out on the giant ad in a beautiful black and silky dress, high A little purse bundled up next to her side with the brands infamous designs. Her head rested on one hand the other clutching the purse. Her skin was flawless. Those bangs she always hated when she was younger, cut to perfection. Her hair just like her dress. Black and Silky. Her makeup phenomenal and her body, slim and slender. The ad was huge, displaying her whole body laying across the top of a store line, giving just a little smirk in the photo.

So, this was her life? Maybe it wasn’t her he tried convincing himself but, he knew it had to be. Those eyes were the same as ever and that hair was unforgettable. She blossomed into nothing more than a beautiful woman.

So cliffhanger here! Hi! I hope you enjoyed my little read I put up, as today I’m simply looking for a little bit of a childhood love romance! I hope I did my best explaining it in the intro but, if not, let me break down again quickly! Basically two best friends in their youth were split apart but her successful start in life, as he was always lagging behind. Though she never minded that and was always by his side, the two grew apart as she went off to college, pursuing education. AS for him? That’s up to you! She goes on to be quite the famous woman, I’m thinking a model and maybe a social media icon in a way? Maybe even an artist! Haven’t figured that out yet, but I’d love to with you! Obviously there’s a lot to discuss and breakdown.

Rules:

Be yourself! Though please try to add just a bit of chunk to your intro, as I won’t reply to just hellos.

If you have any good ideas to bring to the table, please share!

18 only. No negotiations.

I do prefer longterm.

I usually am pretty active, but will let you know if I won’t be!

I like discord personally for RP.

And that’ll be it for now! Hope to see some of you soon!
