Forbidden Love (Sophie X Otto) Bonobos story

Bad News

TIME SKIP TO WHEN SOPHIE IS NOW 14. 

Sophie woke up to the sun shining on her delicate skin, so she started her day. Ever since her dad left she's woken up at 7 AM every morning to make breakfast for her mother and go on a run. This morning felt different, it was harder to get up and she didn't know what to make. Staring at the table thinking about what to make, like her life depended on it, her mom walked in.

"Mom? Why are you awake?" she questioned.

"I have lots of chores to do, and I also have to go the other near by village for... personal reasons." her mother replied.

"okaaaaaay, be safe." Sophie said cracking an egg. She'd finally decided what to eat at least.

after she ate  her breakfast she got dressed and headed out the door for a daily run. little did. her mom know the real reason she went on runs. Otto. ever since the day she met otto they were inseparable. She knew he'd always be in the same spot awaiting her arrival. She kept him a secret from the village, but she doesn't really know why, her gut just told her to. But today that would change. Once her mom got back from doing "chores" she would show her. 

She felt the wind blowing against her curls as she ran. Her hair was beautiful like her mothers.

"Otto!" she yelled once she saw him.  He'd grown up a lot since he say 5 obviously. when he stood up he was roughly 6 foot 2. she ran up and hugged him, but this time she held him a little longer than usual. he noticed and gave her a puzzled look. It was almost like they could understand each other. Sophie held out her hand and showed him the heart that was written on her hand. Otto was still very confused until Sophie explained,  "There's a boy in the village, he's 18 and my mother wants me to marry him. I've been. seeing him every day and... and..." Otto's heart sank. he didn't know why this news hurt him so much, he'd never felt like this before. Sophie continued, "Oh, Otto I hate him! he's a cruel man! I can't marry him. I hate everything about him!" she yelled as she collapsed to the ground. Otto held her in his arms. All he wanted do was at least tell her that it's gonna be okay, but he couldn't.  Bonobos can't talk to humans so he  communicates through actions. She sobbed into his muscular arms covered in fur. Otto felt weird, like he had a special attachment to this girl. then he realized. He was in love, and not just the love a little kid and preschool feels about their crush, no, it was deeper than that.

Sophie wanted to stay in his arms forever, but she knew she couldn't. They stayed there for hours just enjoying each other's company. Sophie had brought food because she always got hungry easily.

"Otto," Sophie said looking up at him. they were in the middle of the jungle, alone, and surrounded by thick leaves and bushes. "I want you to meet my mother." she stated. Otto was shocked he knew what humans thought of his kind, but Sophie had no idea. He knew. it was risky and that if he sparked anything they'd kill him on the spot. He didn't care, he knew Sophie was upset and if this was gonna make her happy my God he was gonna do it. so, he nodded in agreement. Sophie stood up and brushed the dust off of her.

Otto was nervous, but he wouldn't let Sophie see that.

short chapter but oh well. enjoy you weirdos
