Ivory & Ebony

Prologue

Prologue

"Sometime memories sneak out of my eyes
and roll down my cheeks."

What are stories?

Well, stories as per me are an account of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment which usually tend to have a happy ending or as you call it, 'Happily Ever After', but not every story is told for entertainment or are just imaginations, and not every story has a happy ending.

Stories are memories, memories which one doesn't wish to forget, ever. They have their own world, own path which you get lost on and cherish, and a place where you relive a moment which you may never be able to do again.

Today you are going to be listening to a story. This story isn't a piece of imagination or an event, but a memory the people who are attached to this story don't want to forget or want the world to forget, cause it's a memory they want to stay locked in, and spend their life in that very moment over and over again.

This story doesn't have happy ending but that doesn't mean that it is not happy. It is one of best stories you could ever listen to.

You may think that a story can be written the way you want it, and yes it can be, but all this story, this memory wants is to convey reality. And show what death and memories feel like.

Cause what does it feel like when you are alive, but you aren't actually living and you are dead from inside; when a part of you has been taken, snatched away from you, in front of your eyes and couldn't do anything to stop that from happening, to stop the time and turn everything around.

That feeling, its' 'horrible' and the worst thing to have to experience in this world, cause it feels like you are dead and your life has ended, come to a stop like a dead end where you have nowhere turns to turns and no way to go back , it feels like you wish not to live anymore, to experience the idea of a meaning less life, and just sit in a corner and live in a world of memories that are a never going to take place again, cause they are cold .

But eventually this feeling goes away and get locked in a part of your mind which you never go to, never use only it isn't that easy and your always haunted in your sleep every day, every night by those beautiful special moments you had once lived in.

But nevertheless, you slowly start to adapt, adjust, and except to your life the way it is.

Even though that pain, those memories never go away but only settle in the back of your mind, a place where you block it all out, and learn to except that everything happens for a reason.

This how I describe Love today, after three year of being consumed in guilt of something that was already set to happen today or tomorrow in the future, but choosing to ignore it and living in the moment, like it is the last of my life with someone who locked away in my heart, mind, soul and body and was never afraid what will happen or what will tomorrow be like.  And that place can be taken no one else, 'Ever'.

I describe love as 'Ivory and Ebony', cause not every love story is always happy and colorful. It's black and white with tints of colors, with an unexpected turn every day, every hour, every minute, every second.

And today I am going to tell you just a tale, a trail of beautiful, happy and sad memories, and show you the world not as colors but as 'Ivory and Ebony'.

This tale had begun 5 years ago on an unexpected night in a hospital between a girl named Alexis Reyes, who had most unusual red iris's and who was Alex. Then there was boy or should we say an idiot known by the name of Nathanial Black or as he was called Nate.

They both wished only one thing, and that was to get away of their suffocating lives, and travel the world; live their life like there is no tomorrow.

And that's how their journey began, from a crazy meeting of fates in a hospital room and the start of a new friendship.
