March 21

Write the first page of a short story which centers on a conflict between two romantic partners





            The relationship is perfect.  We are perfect together.  There is just one thing that is ruining the perfection…his ex-girlfriend.  We never had a fight until she started contacting him.  First it was just a drunk dial.  But of course that one call that meant nothing bothered me.  It started to escalade into random texts throughout the week.  My boyfriend didn’t know what to do; he didn’t want me to be mad and to fight with me but he didn’t know how to stop it.  We eventually got her number blocked and we went back to our perfect little relationship.  After a month, my boyfriend started getting calls from random numbers.  No one would be on the other line because they hung up after one of us answered.  We knew exactly who it was and started arguing about my boyfriend’s new stalker.  After a couple weeks of the random calls we started noticing weird prints on our windows.  I became scared wondering who was spying on us.  We went away for a long weekend and we came home and realized someone had broken in.  Our pictures were ripped into pieces but nothing was stolen.  We called the police and told them we knew who did it.  There was nothing they could do because they had no solid evidence that it was her, this psycho woman that was out to destroy us.  While we were sleeping later that night, I woke up to glass shattering.  Our dog started going crazy and we were scared for our lives.  The police were called but no one was downstairs.  The next couple of nights were long and we knew this was only the beginning of what was to come.
