Here is the start of a story I have just begun to read, I have always enjoyed writing and recently it has just came to me, I am not the most grammatical of people but hopefully its readable. this is the opening for it, its not complete as yet I would like to see the response to it.

The Case of the Ex’s

Kelly was in a relationship she had been for 8 years and was relatively happy, yes her and Paul had there ups and downs but they were still together.
Things were going great for them they had just got there first flat and generally things were on the up.

So what did she have to complain about you may ask? Nothing really have you ever heard the expression they come along like buses, well that seemed to be the case for Kelly and her ex’s.

It started two years ago when she heard her first love Alex had gone into prison due to some severe drug problems and a marriage break up he went off the rails a bit and done a few things he shouldn't’t have. Now Kelly and Alex were close friends at school and college, and they always maintained they were better off as friends rather than as lovers, it was such a complicated friendship as they were both very jealous of each others love interests, why they never really got together other than the odd few months one will never know.

Anyway Kelly and Alex lost touch for about seven years when he got married, but she never forgot about him, I guess you never do forget your first love.

So how did they get in touch then, well it was Kellys fault really, she always cared about Alex and she had heard on the grapevine that he had gone into prison and that his marriage had broken down, so she found out where he was and she set about writing to him. I suppose she just wanted to see that he was ok as she knew how he felt she had been there but that is a whole another story. I don’t think she really thought she would get a reply from him.

It was two weeks later when she received a letter from Alex and true to rumour he was in a bad way , he had come come off of heroin and crack cocaine he was in wormwood scrubs prison for attacking and mugging a lady at knife point and had received a four year sentence. Of course this upset Kelly as this was not the Alex she knew and loved, in the past he had been totally against drugs and that kind of behaviour god he didn’t even smoke, just shows how people change in time.
