"We loved with a love that was more than love." - Edgar Allan Poe
It was definitely not out of the ordinary for you to see two teenagers running down the corridors of their American high school. To be more precise, it was not out of the ordinary for you to see a towheaded boy madly running away from an incredibly mad dark haired girl. For you see that towheaded young man had normally put a toe out of line, well actually it was probably more like he had completely disregarded that line all together, and that sepia haired girl was most likely to be running after him, every step getting increasingly angrier for when he crossed that line she was on the other side.
Monday was no different.
"FREDRICK JONATHON JONES" was heard all over the school on that quite spring morning.
"Yes?" was the timid reply from the 16yr old Freddy Jones. Now Freddy was your classic teenager, not quite the most popular student in the school but definitely wasn't the least. But when it came to the ladies, now that was a different story. The 80's rock band t-shirt wearing teen was NOT a wimp but when it came to Katie, well everyone was a wimp when she was angry and boy she was angry today.
"WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPLAIN THIS?" She threw at him what looked to be the charred remains of a history book.
Freddy caught the crumbling ashes in his fingertips. He looked down at the history book he had burned earlier this morning then back up to Katie.
"I was bored?"
"UGH! Freddy this is a relationship! Relationships are a two way street but right now I am walking down it by myself! Oh and you have to get over your addiction to fire!" As she said the last sentence, Katie walked over to Freddy, reached into his front pocket and pulled out a red lighter. She dropped it on the floor, stepped on it once or twice until it was clearly broken then walked off, presumably to find Summer.
Freddy just stood there looking mournfully at the busted lighter until he heard a snicker behind him. Looking over his shoulder he saw friend, band mate and in times like these the person who was always there to lend him a match, Zach.
He raised a blonde eyebrow at his laughing onyx haired friend.
"Sorry man but I find it hard to believe that you're here crying over your broken toy when Katie, KATIE just had her hand down your pants!" Now it was common knowledge to all the guys that Zack liked Katie but then again Zack liked anything with boobs and two legs.
"It's not a toy" Freddy replied dismissingly and then added "And its not quite the same when that hand is attached to an arm and that arm just happens to belong to your step-sister" Freddy said that last part almost wistfully for Katie Brown was now Katie Brown-Jones.
Two years ago at a parent attended assembly the recently divorced Jonathon Jones and the Thirty-Two year old single mum, Charlize Brown met. There they had found a medium, a paradise, their purpose in life…dating each other.
The wedding was two months ago and Katie and Freddy had both been involved in the celebrations, Katie being Maid of Honor and Freddy being Best Man and both had been generally happy for their respective parent.
The only part of the bargain they were not happy about (at the time) was that they would be related to each other, and realities of this kind normally live with each other. Now many may think that they were upset about this because they hated each other but no they didn't hate one another, virtually the opposite. Katie Brown-Jones harbored feelings for her step-brother and one could say the same about Freddy.
Now many may think that it's wrong and if anything did happen that it would be incest but it's not wrong, at least not for Katie and Freddy. They had often thought about it and had both come to the conclusion that they were not related by blood but by a paper certificate signed by a priest.
That is why they finally decided to do something about their feelings for each other, but it is also the reason that they decided to keep their relationship a secret, for there are those odd people out there that will never agree. They will never see it. And therefore they will never probably find love themselves because our lives are filled with Karma. And karma is like killing a cricket; you kill it and you're killing a part of yourself.
(Karma is referred to as that by the ancient Chinese)
