A Letter To Elise, chapter 1
Robert and Elise, What else can I say, they were very happy when they first met. Robert fell in love with a girl that loved him from the childhood. They were best friends, and they spent all the time they could outside hanging out.
But one day...
Robert arrived to the house after work, and Elise was there, cooking the dinner, she at first felt happy to see him, and he looked at her very excited, they talked and talked of all the day, they had not a lot of time together since they had married, as a result, they didn't have any children.
Robert looked at her every moment she talked, but she rarely looked at him when he told of what he did at work. Then, they went to have dinner; they remained in silence for all the time the dinner took. Elise was looking at the floor sometime, then she looked at the ceiling. She was changing the object of her sight, but she never looked at Robert. Robert looked at her very surprised, and he asked:
"-Elise, what's the matter, you have been really weird this past days, Is something or someone bothering you?
"-No-she answered. But she didn't look at him. The answer was too rough, like trying to not enter in the conversation.
"-I think something is bothering you, cause that tone of voice explains a lot.
"-No Robert, Please, don't try, I'm just tired.
"-Tired of what?
"-Umm... I don't know I just feel tired, now, would you let me be alone for sometime, I'm tired, and I would like to rest.
"-... Ok, but if something is bothering you, I'll be near. Remember that you can always count on me. I'll be here with you to help get rid of what's bothering you.
"-Yes, I know you will be here. Thanks. But now please, leave me alone for sometime.
And Robert stood up, and he left the dinner table, he went to the living room;
Elise started to cry in silence, she didn't want to alert Robert. She wanted to be alone; Everything since they met had changed a lot, friends from childhood were far away from what they were now. It could also be said that that friendship had died and no one could reborn it. Elise felt guilty about it, but she knew that Robert was also guilty.
Robert was in the living room looking at some photo albums of childhood and the weeding. When he looked at the picture were he was 5 years old and Elise 4, he remembered that their mothers made them met. That age was too soon to think, but Robert remembered that when he saw Elise for the first time, he wanted to be with her all the time.
Then he looked at the photograph of elementary school, again, he was with Elise, but they were older and looked happier. He remembered that Elise only talked to him in elementary, and that she was always insulted by other boys in class. Robert always defended her. But what could be done now, he thought. Elise was very mysterious, she didn't want to talk as she used to. So Robert just closed the photo album, he didn't want to feel guilty, and he went upstairs to sleep.
Elise, in the meanwhile, was crying, and she had a flashback of their childhood...
