A Story to Tell

By Lisa R Howeler

There aren't any good stories left to tell. They've all been told. So this is just a story that maybe you've heard before - the story of a girl who loved a boy, who thought the boy loved her. The story of a girl who thought life needed to be constantly exciting and full of adventure for it to be real. The story of a girl who learned that what she thought she needed to be happy wasn't what she needed after all.I was the good girl, Daddy's girl, but I was tired of living adventures inside my own head. I wanted to experience life outside the small farming town I grew up in. I met Hank Hakes at the dance Daddy and Mama almost didn't let me go to. I didn't know why he was interested in me since I was nothing but plain. "Run away with me and we'll make a life of our own," he told me one night under the maple tree in my parents back yard."I can't .." I told him. "My daddy doesn't like you."I was 17 and he was 21. We thought we knew what life was all about. Was seeking a life beyond the one I had always known worth sacrificing the respect of my parents and maybe even the love of God? Would I find romance or heartache if I left the world I had always known behind? I had to decide: Did I want my parents to write my story for me or did I want to create my own story to tell?
