childhood love

For newtgotmelike

"Sanne and John sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Ada laughed teasing her brother as his cheeks turned pink. Sanne giggled, "just ignore them Johnny, we are bestfriends" Sanne beamed walking around the the grass covered moss banks of the moors picking flowers as John picked up sharp stones. Everyone that came across John and Sanne would think they was a sweet little couple. But the pair fiercely stated they was just friends, but little did Sanne know that John liked her, he thought she was the prettiest girl he had ever seen. And little did John know. Sanne adored him and his bright blue eyes and freckled cheeks.

As the years dawned on the pair became irreparable. At the kind age of 17, they was both lounging under a tree in the shade hiding from the cruel heat of the August sun, both laughing and joking. Sanne braided daisy's into her gypsy friends hair making him smile, as they spoke about anything they wished. When Sanne stood up to dust the grass stains off her skirt. John nearly had a heart attack he noticed a red stain and from what his aunt Pol had told him he knew. ...his bestfriend was changing into a woman and he was scared she would go and find someone else to love. John handed her his jacket to wear which Sanne took kindly.

John escorted her home and made sure no one was to laugh at her, although he had forgotten he had daisy's in his brown messy hair. Little did the pair know there time together was limited. The whispers of war was becoming frequent and Sanne was scared. She didnt want John to fight, he could die and the idea of such a loss terrified her.

2 weeks later John knocked on Sannes door, he stood there with a new hair cut and had on a soldiers uniform. Sanne opened the door and for once, she didnt want to see John. Not like this anyway! She hugged him tightly and cried begging him not to leave. But the gypsy boy couldn't do much it was out of his hands. Sanne found out whilst having calmed down that all the shelby brothers was fighting the war. Sanne kissing John's cheek before he left begging him to come back alive.

John gulped, the reality of war was too great and he feared he might not come back alive at all. But John kept this promise too soothe Sanne.

2 years later, the shelby brothers returned from war. Never the same again all toughened up and hard. They wasn't sweet or kind any more. What man was after war?

John watched Sanne from afar, he noticed a gentleman had asked her out. His blood began to boil. He wanted Sanne, Sanne was his. Not that war shy man who did nothing. When John saw them eating at a diner he burst in, Sanne blinked in surprise.  She thought John didnt want to know her since he kept his distance from her, which hurt her deeply. John glared at the man menacingly chewing his toothpick. "Get away from my girl now, before I cut you a bloody smile!" John growled shoving the terrified man out of the diner.

Sanne blinked horrified, this wasnt her sweet Johnny boy. Sanne grew upset as the rest of the restaurant watched "WHAT THE FUCK JOHN?! Dont you think you can swan in here choosing my love life when all you do is hide!" Sanne yelled. John smirked pulling her out of the restaurant by her upper arm. He pulled her out of site before kissing her. Sanne stopped ranting and kissed him back, years of suppressed affection rushed back flooding through her veins as she kissed him forgetting her need of oxygen.

"I've always loved you Sanne" John whispered softly, Sanne hugged him tightly "I've always loved you too John" she smiled hugging his warm chest as the pair stayed like that for a while thankful for each other.
