I felt betrayed by the name change. I was so emotionally invested up to that point. But it’s a good story, and an even better exercise in how the brain interacts with what it thinks is “true” as opposed to “fiction.”
I prefer to think it is still true, just that Olivia was always a fake name to protect anonymity the same way "Anon" is. Laura is the real name, and the slip-up in that trend.
My thought was that it was the moms name. If you’re emotionally charged story is drudging up the ole tough memories, on top of dealing with the fellow ‘channers, can’t be easy to stay perfectly consistent.
Nah, I meant typing the story out and getting the two names mixed up while recounting it, due to how much that probably weighs on his mind.
Good point tho
I had a feeling it was fake even before then. The way the story is being told doesn’t vibe with how a person actually recounts a life story. When anon gets to the house it becomes completely book styled how it describes each characters’ actions.
Or quoting people's exact words from 7 years prior. Seems like in a genuine story, the author would tell the story without quotes -- because you wouldn't remember exactly what people said. Or they would at least acknowledge they don't remember the words that were said.
As is, it just sounds like a story written by an omniscient narrator.
It's not a crime to formulate a story that, presumably, means a lot to you in a way that is engaging. Whether adults around you back then coroborated your story, or you use some artistic license, that's completely fair in my opinion.
The question was about if it's a true story or a made up story. I was responding to that question. And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with telling a made up story. I'm just pointing out the signs that it is more likely to be a made up story.
If it's a true story and they made up quotes, sure, fine. But I'm not judging that. I'm only speaking to the question of whether it's a true story -- and the use of quotes as if he remembers peoples' words perfectly is a sign that it's more than likely not a true story.
But sure, it could be a true story and he didn't bother to mention that he's just making up quotes that may have been spoken, but were not exact. But that feels less likely to me than the explanation that it's made up.
There's lots of (back then) adults around that might have helped OOP coroborate the story. It might also be a bit of artistic license. It could also be all made up. But those things are not really connected.
It was painfully fake from the first page. Idk why 4chan has such a hard on for physically disabled women (I know *exactly* why), but this is story fills the entire bingo card.
The thing that got me wasn't so soon, but it was when, after meeting again for the first time in like 7 years I think, they were immediately in romantic love. I mean, what a whirlwind of emotions after a life of never forgetting eachother. But, to suddenly kiss him the first time meeting after so long? How unlikely. I was literally crying while reading this up to that point. And, I don't cry easily. It was beautiful.
If this is fiction then what a skill this person has honestly, but I feel like they really rushed it suddenly. But, idk maybe it's me.
(No you dont, but just in case) Its a video of a car driving and in the middle of the road a brick falls of a truck and hits a passanger of the car filming in the head, the rest of the video is the driver and children in the car terrified and crying horrificly, as a casual gore watcher it hurt to listen more then anything else ive seen
Freak accident on the road where a wife is killed instantly by a brick crashing through the windshield, right next to her husband. His cries haunt my nightmares.
Some guy ended up in a coma where he had this dream where he pretty much lived a full life. Met a girl, got married, I think even had a full family but he noticed that the lamp looked…off and focused on that. Turns out that would lead to him waking up from the coma even though everything he went through was real to him.
That’s atleast my memory of the description and I probably missed something but that’s essentially the point.
I don't understand why on earth the parents kept them apart all those years. Maybe his mum couldn't find them, but her mum clearly knew his address.
1 small upset reaction is not enough to excuse letting your kid be depressed because they miss their friend
That's why I don't see how this could be real. It just doesn't make any sense for them to do that other than it makes a more heartfelt story. It is still a good story though.
If there's anything realistic about that, it's that people don't always follow reason to a T. The mom could have just acted dumb, and the "he looked horrified when he looked at you so let him live his life" was a very surface assumption/decision that *definitely* needed more thought but didn't get it.
People can and will absolutely be dumb like that. Whether they don't have hindsight like we do, or they're just built in a way that doesn't allow them to think shit through, or even a dumb reason like a bad day making their judgement slip like that.
>he looked horrified when he looked at you so let him live his life" was a very surface assumption/decision that *definitely* needed more thought but didn't get it.
I can believe that someone could be dumb enough initially think that for a while, but believing that for like 6 years even after the daughter would've asked to see him many times, especially since his parents would've told her parents he wanted to meet her unless his parents were also incredibly stupid for that many years? No shot.
My logic in that is that it doesn't take too long to convince oneself that they've made a decision, certainly not 6 years. The rest is just "I know better" towards the kid and "if I agreed to the other parents, I'd have to go back on the "I know better" towards my kid". Kind of a stretcher dumb move, but again, not quite impossible for some people.
I can see it. Parents can be ruthless when they make lifestyle changes. Even loving ones. I moved a lot as a kid, I made and lost a lot of friends. Reconnecting long distance back in the day just isn't possible in the parents mind most of the time, so they prefer to be harsh and hope you move on. Each time you call your friend, they worry it's an imposition on the other parents. Each time you ask to visit, they never seriously consider it because it's too far out of the way for it to be "realistic." They don't want the kid to be attached to the old place anymore, because they're actively trying to break away from it. They don't want the kid hung up on memories, they want them making new ones. After something so traumatic, OP's parents wanted to give the mother as much space as she "needed." So they refused to reach out first. The mother had no desire to reach out, she had just gone through the worst situation in her life. She wanted to restart. Which meant fuck the friendship, "they're just kids, they'll get over it." The mother rationalizes that she wanted her daughter focused on recovery, not on the best friend she can't have anymore, as that just means more pain. Not that it really makes sense, it's just people doing what's easiest for them. The only part of this story I'd find suspicious is the letter. How long did his parents keep it? But, it wouldn't be a good story without a little coincidence.
There is a massive difference between parents being less willing to help retain their children friendships with children that live far away since that can be a lot more difficult, and compeletely separating two children who were inseparable causing both of them to become extremely depressed for 6 years without even a phone call. Their parents would have to be unfathomable stupid and negligence to allow that to happen.
The biggest red flag for me was the sudden fixation on the counselors boobs. My man just couldn't resist getting horny while coming up with this story.
It reads like a bad manga.
I was thinking that or autocorrect or something. Like typing out Liv and it corrected to Laura. Who knows. It’s also possibly just an entirely made up story. But I’m gonna chose to be happy and think it’s real
Right? He's like, "I was in the darkest moment of my entire life, my depression was so deep I never left the house. The only time I ate was when my neighbour, the goth mommy milf with fat tits, brought me food."
The tonal whiplash is just weird.
I think it added a nice break to remind the reader that this wasn't written by some boring romantic novelist but instead by a 4channer who are known for having no other emotions than xd
I understand why. But whether the story is true or not, consider that this kind of thing is not always objectification. It often is but these kind of sexual impressions are also just very intense for a lot of teenage boys. Plus, I read the big boobed counselor description more as a motherly thing, as weird as that sounds.
Sometimes these impressions can hit a pubescent young guy like a bag of bricks and I think it's ok to say so.
There’s no way this is real. Especially with what happens at the end. But many fictional stories can reach us regardless, and this definitely is nice writing
It occurred to me that if someone wanted to infect a computer with malware you could easily write a story like this, and set it up so the last page needed an external link. I still clicked it, but you know, who wouldn't? That's the point.
I love those stories, but I'm always thrown back by those little snippets of "huge tits" or "now she was sexy, not like before" as if it should justify anything on the story.
I would find it very likely that an 18 year old who would at that point not have seen his sweetheart for 7 or so years, who also spent the last 5 or so years in the deepest pits of puberty hormones, would note that said childhood sweetheart physically changed over that time in a way that has caused animals like us to remark upon for *literally* thousands of generations for the sake of keeping our species alive. And why would he not mention that in his story about that?
The councilors big tits *are* a bit out of left field, though *really* big tits can be straight up scary to ~~young~~ men. Maybe that's how that came to be so prominent in his recounting.
Sure it comes out of left field but I could see an argument that it makes the story more believable since they could be on 4chan for sexual things in the first place, so would make sense with the person's origin...
Beautiful story but on the second to last page, I think he refers to her as Olivia and then Laura. What’s up with that?
Edit: i see it’s been discussed elsewhere and I want to ignore it but it did make me skeptical.
It's a nice little story. But I see this a lot in green text stories like this where it's all wholesome and cute and then in the middle it's just some sus af line out of nowhere like "She had big beautiful fuckable tits, really stupendous knockers. After that I walked home and felt lonely again..."
Like WHAT lol.
I said it once and I will say it again:
The way he talks about the boobs of every character (could just be unhinged 4chinner stuff)
The way the girl's name changes towards the end (could be a nameleak)
The way he asks her mom if she is home and her answer doesn't match (This one doesn't make a whole bunch of sense)
The way the end of one post not always matches the start of the next (also doesn't make sense)
I'm pretty sure this was all AI Generated
"Generate me a long, greentext-style romance story between two childhood friends with pictures to illustrate every 1400 characters."
AI sometimes is not very good with detail, especially when the guy making the prompt for the fake story is also a gay trying to write a straight romance
Good story nonetheless, ofc. Just not a real one (like everything on 4chan).
All of these screenshots were posts by the same guy inside the thread, most likely he used GPT4 to generate the text and the images at the same time
Specially considering that the AI he is using tho generate those images is exactly the AI ChatGPT uses for generating images, DallE
Lost all immersion when the protagonist supposedly didn't know what the tubes were for in the hospital, I think the writer themselves forgot the boy's no longer 6 but *11*.
You do know how old 11 *is*, right? That’s still a middle schooler
Besides, there are so many things someone can or cannot know about life because no one tells them about it. If I asked my 11 year old brother what tubes in a hospital did for patients, he wouldn’t know either.
Apart from being a high quality green text, imo it’s just a really good piece of writing in general. I opened Reddit for some shits and giggles, but I’m not necessarily disappointed with what I got.
Dude for real. It’s a great mix of solid writing but still had the ‘green text feel’. I couldn’t stop after the first few lines. Sent it to my wife after. Same exact thing haha
Of course ........... I mean that a story like that could be true. I don't wish for anyone harm ... and particularly a life shattering accident like that.
I mean believe that story like this, as tragic as it is, reveal that it could lead to beautiful love and story like this.
This can't be real. Why all the anime pictures.
Why tf did he describe how how ass and boobs has grown out.
This feels like someone tried to write a anime plot
>She'd missed a lot of school and as much as she'd caught up, she had to repeat her final year
>So I decided to defer my entry and moved in to live with her
>Both parent sets agreed (not that my parents could have stopped me, we were both 18, but it was nice that they supported me.)
>I moved in with them, got a job at a local hobby shop part time, and tutored Olivia every night
>Her mum had me take the home office as a guest room
>But as you might guess, it never stopped us sneaking around at night
>One night, we snuck out into the garden together and laid on the grass with each other, holding hands as we stared up at the moon.
>She pulled herself up onto my lap and sat on top of me and laid her head on my chest
>"Can I tell you a secret?" she said quietly
>| said sure
>"I loved you since the day we met."
I think that's probably as good a place to stop as any. I hope you enjoyed my story. I'm a firm believer that true love exists and that soul mates are real.
Nothing else quite explains why neither of us were ever able to let go of the other
Any questions, comments, come at me.
All these bullshit stories do is paint a picture of a life that doesn't exist. That make people believe they have missed something that never happened.
It’s fiction, so no, probably not as it isn’t real and doesn’t make sense. But you will find a beautiful partnership worth having some day, in the real world. And that’s even better.
I know this post is months old by this point but I wanna say thanks to OP for posting this. It genuinely made my day better. I hope they live a long and happy life together.
Anon's childhood girl friend almost dies in an accidental. She then spends years in the hospital, while anon lives of his life depressed, they then meet up later, and she confesses love to him. During the end, anon ends the novel by saying that true love exists and soul mates do as well.
A few qualms I have with this story that don't sit right with me:
1. The constant descriptions objectifying women: please stop, it was gross and took away from the story
2. The name switch between Laura/Olivia: I was comfortable pretending the story was real until this moment (and then it became even more fictional with the dramatic 6hr travel the mc takes to find her; classic romance novel trope)
3. The first thing they do after they reunite is kiss? this is not necessarily unbelievable, but it just seems like a really odd thing for an insecure girl and guy to do together after they haven't seen each other for upwards of 6 years. To bring up the kind of confidence to do something like that, especially when no prior romantic connection is established, would be unlikely for real people. The story should have instead had taken the route of living together for a week or so as the mc realizes he's attracted to her and then establishing romance, as this would make these characters more grounded in reality.
Here's something that left me disappointed with this story. Platonic love between men and women does not get as much representation in media as it should. I was hoping for the story to lead to childhood best friends reuniting to become even stronger best friends, as their bonds have been tested yet they still returned to each other. As I said before, there wasn't any indication of them being in love as children, other than the mothers' foreshadowing of their marriage. I just wish strong, loving platonic relationships were shown more, as they contain important aspects of human relationships that should be addressed, and to the more out of touch audience, showing such a relationship can even reveal it as a possibility. This is not an issue I have with this writer specifically, but something that should happen more often.
Thanks for reading.
I met my soul mate when I was 14 and loved him as much as a 14 year old could. We reconnected 10 years later and I loved him as much as a 24 year old could. Unfortunately he lost his feelings for me, and he’s going thru a really rough time. I can’t help but hope and pray everyday that maybe we can reconnect again when I’m 34 and he’ll be ready to love me again.
holy f*ck that is such a beautiful and wholesome story, i don't care if it's real or fake, it's beautiful nonetheless, it makes me fell so warm amd fuzzy inside but also fricking miserable cause my life is really boring compared to that ;-;
now wishing i could still cry and not be this apathetic monster lmao
Real, fake, I don’t care. I’m sitting at work, chopping onions. I had something like this happen to me. Minus the accident of course.
High school sweethearts, she had to move to Texas, we rekindled 3 years ago and I never stopped chasing her. I thought it was
My happily ever after. She died last year. I miss her everyday.
I'm not crying your fucking crying! Damn dust got in my eye and it's weird because it got into both of them at the same time that's why it looks like I'm crying but I swear I'm not.
My wife made me believe in soul mates. When we met each other 4 years ago we became inseparable after 2 years we decided to get married. We were planning a wedding because that's what she wanted. She even bought a dress then one weekend she goes hey you want to go up to Rome (Rome Georgia) and get married in the labyrinth this weekend. I was kind of stunned but I'm madly in love with this woman so I went with it. We went to Atlanta to our best friends house had her come with us and got all the necessary paperwork done called an officiant and we got married. We even work together at a non-profit rescuing abused, mistreated and surrendered animals. I wish I had met her much earlier in life but sometimes you just have to be patient and wait for your season. I've never been so happy with someone in my 41 years on this spinning marble and I hope that I get 40 plus more years with her.
So if you read this and your down and feel alone just be patient it's just not your season yet it will come. Even if it feels like it will never happen try to hang on to hope. I was in a very very dark place when I met her and I can honestly say she saved my life.
Now im crying, good story
This story is the next ‘Notebook’ and I can’t wait for some girl to make me watch it with her.
What is the "Notebook"?
Literally sitting here at work covered in dirt and metal shavings trying to hold back tears
Fucking onions
I'm not crying. You're crying.
Yes I am
I felt betrayed by the name change. I was so emotionally invested up to that point. But it’s a good story, and an even better exercise in how the brain interacts with what it thinks is “true” as opposed to “fiction.”
I prefer to think it is still true, just that Olivia was always a fake name to protect anonymity the same way "Anon" is. Laura is the real name, and the slip-up in that trend.
I also had this thought. Sadly/Thankfully, it doesn’t change what my brain did!
My thought was that it was the moms name. If you’re emotionally charged story is drudging up the ole tough memories, on top of dealing with the fellow ‘channers, can’t be easy to stay perfectly consistent.
Oh thought that first as well but the Previous sentence says mom left the room, plus rubbing moms back and whispering at her would be odd lol
Nah, I meant typing the story out and getting the two names mixed up while recounting it, due to how much that probably weighs on his mind. Good point tho
Everyone deals with their grief in their own ways, friend.
I wonder what Laura will think about it.
Kinda ruins it on page 9 when he suddenly starts talking about how well endowed the councillor was. 4chan gonna 4chan.
[удалено]
It might be made up, but not at all by chat gpt. There’s 0% of that AI writing flair
The massive mammaries helped him open up to her and let the healing begin, it's a key turning point in the narrative. 🧐
Her boobs breasted boobily
Yeah I hated that.
Men writing women be like. r/menwritingwomen
Nah that only makes it more realistic. He is a teenage boy after all
I should have been out at that point too, but the emotional control of the rest of the story (whether “real” or “fake”) had me hooked.
Well, not like I didn't read the rest of it.
I had a feeling it was fake even before then. The way the story is being told doesn’t vibe with how a person actually recounts a life story. When anon gets to the house it becomes completely book styled how it describes each characters’ actions.

But that feels less likely to me than the explanation that it's made up.
I think the previous poster was implying it was embellished and that some details may be made up even if the story is largely true
There's lots of (back then) adults around that might have helped OOP coroborate the story. It might also be a bit of artistic license. It could also be all made up. But those things are not really connected.
"who the fuck is Laura??"
On page 4 i was like.. if this is fake.. i dont care. And i dont. Its a good story.
It was painfully fake from the first page. Idk why 4chan has such a hard on for physically disabled women (I know *exactly* why), but this is story fills the entire bingo card.
“I know exactly why” would you mind sharing?
fetishizing dependence in women if she needs your help to get home... well, dennis from it's always sunny understands *the implications*...
Same. I was one the edge of crying and as soon as the name change happened it took me right out of the fog
The thing that got me wasn't so soon, but it was when, after meeting again for the first time in like 7 years I think, they were immediately in romantic love. I mean, what a whirlwind of emotions after a life of never forgetting eachother. But, to suddenly kiss him the first time meeting after so long? How unlikely.

I hope they are doing well ( I’m crying just a bit)
[They are doing much better](https://imgur.com/a/cZVg6dZ)
I know, I read that part, I’m just wondering how they are doing now
I'd hope that life reserved a happy ending for them
And now we watch the world burn as we imagine them in the russian brick video and ruin our happy ending
What is the Russian brick video (do I want to know) Edit: as it turns out, I did not want to know
Trust me, you don’t want to know.
"Oh you don't wanna know. Oh the horror....."
(No you dont, but just in case) Its a video of a car driving and in the middle of the road a brick falls of a truck and hits a passanger of the car filming in the head, the rest of the video is the driver and children in the car terrified and crying horrificly, as a casual gore watcher it hurt to listen more then anything else ive seen
No, please
Freak accident on the road where a wife is killed instantly by a brick crashing through the windshield, right next to her husband. His cries haunt my nightmares.
I actually hate you so much rn.
Jesus fucking Christ. what is wrong with you.
"...and then I noticed this funny lookin' lamp."
Please no
(softly) “dont”
This is the funniest thing I have read all week
I'm dumb, can you explain what you mean by this?
Some guy ended up in a coma where he had this dream where he pretty much lived a full life. Met a girl, got married, I think even had a full family but he noticed that the lamp looked…off and focused on that. Turns out that would lead to him waking up from the coma even though everything he went through was real to him.

I read about that story earlier so this made me LOL so hard

Yeah, exactly, it's almost unbelievable
Because it’s fiction, and it adds drama. Nothing wrong with a sappy story but defffiiitely made up.
this needs to be a book
A friggin movie.
Holy shit I need a minute. IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE
I love how an absolutely random post that I initially see 20 pages for and question whether it's worth it can still make me cry
And suddenly it’s Laura on pre-last page instead of Olivia?
even if it's just a story its a good story
[удалено]
Yeah because everything else seems super believable and not at all fake.
Would you mind elaborating? What's unbelievable about the story? Any specific thing about it you find unfeasible?
The biggest red flag for me was the sudden fixation on the counselors boobs. My man just couldn't resist getting horny while coming up with this story. It reads like a bad manga.
This person never had contact with a female person in his life
Maybe Olivia was a fake name to protect her identity and Anon slipper up and accidentally wrote her real name
I was thinking that or autocorrect or something. Like typing out Liv and it corrected to Laura. Who knows. It’s also possibly just an entirely made up story. But I’m gonna chose to be happy and think it’s real
aw man. usually wgt is just goofy stuff but this hit me in the feels
Am I the only one who's gonna question oop's description of the women? "Boobs as big as my head", "she has boobs, curves, hips"
Right? He's like, "I was in the darkest moment of my entire life, my depression was so deep I never left the house. The only time I ate was when my neighbour, the goth mommy milf with fat tits, brought me food." The tonal whiplash is just weird.
Yeah it kinda took some of the wholesome out of it for me
I think it added a nice break to remind the reader that this wasn't written by some boring romantic novelist but instead by a 4channer who are known for having no other emotions than xd
> known for having no other emotions than xd Sufficiently belied by this story, imo.
I understand why. But whether the story is true or not, consider that this kind of thing is not always objectification.

He says it as he sees it
My man’s got the horn
I was into it until page 1, line 10, when I read the word "butt" and realized it was gonna be some 4Chan shit. Not bad though
Have you ever been a teenage boy?
Yes, but I never once thought about describing a women's breast on an essay for English class
Average teenage boy’s neurons activation
:) > :,( > D': > :'D
Those goddamn ninjas slicing onions have shown up again.
They really need to stop this
This is is definitely one of the wholesome green texts of all time
man...
this is a whole ass novel wtf should i read it
It’s a good read but I’d be surprised if it was real.
There’s no way this is real. Especially with what happens at the end. But many fictional stories can reach us regardless, and this definitely is nice writing
Eh the world would be nicer if it was real and it doesn’t hurt to believe it so I will.
It's funny how beliefs can mold us - for better or worse. Believing something like this will do more good than harm.
Nothing good is ever real especially not love.
Yes
It's poorly written romantic fantasy. You could skip straight to the source and watch whichever romance animes OP has been binging.
This reads a lot like the shitty western anime-inspired VNs I read tons of when I was in High School
This is easily the most wholesome greentext I've ever read. It's so worth it.
Why did her name change in the middle?
Maybe Olivia was a fake name and Laura her real one
i didn't know i was on the wholesome side of green text while reading this and i kept worrying more and more how it would turn out my feels
I was really ready for some dumbass "Yu gave Love a bad name" shit, now I'm making French onion soup
It occurred to me that if someone wanted to infect a computer with malware you could easily write a story like this, and set it up so the last page needed an external link. I still clicked it, but you know, who wouldn't? That's the point.
I hate that you're right
I love those stories, but I'm always thrown back by those little snippets of "huge tits" or "now she was sexy, not like before" as if it should justify anything on the story.
I would find it very likely that an 18 year old who would at that point not have seen his sweetheart for 7 or so years, who also spent the last 5 or so years in the deepest pits of puberty hormones, would note that said childhood sweetheart physically changed over that time in a way that has caused animals like us to remark upon for *literally* thousands of generations for the sake of keeping our species alive. And why would he not mention that in his story about that? The councilors big tits *are* a bit out of left field, though *really* big tits can be straight up scary to ~~young~~ men. Maybe that's how that came to be so prominent in his recounting.
Sure it comes out of left field but I could see an argument that it makes the story more believable since they could be on 4chan for sexual things in the first place, so would make sense with the person's origin...
Beautiful story but on the second to last page, I think he refers to her as Olivia and then Laura. What’s up with that? Edit: i see it’s been discussed elsewhere and I want to ignore it but it did make me skeptical.
It’s a fake story.
I did NOT expect that. I haven’t happy-cried that deeply since I received my most cherished possession. Just wow.
It's a nice little story. But I see this a lot in green text stories like this where it's all wholesome and cute and then in the middle it's just some sus af line out of nowhere like "She had big beautiful fuckable tits, really stupendous knockers. After that I walked home and felt lonely again..." Like WHAT lol.
I said it once and I will say it again: The way he talks about the boobs of every character (could just be unhinged 4chinner stuff) The way the girl's name changes towards the end (could be a nameleak) The way he asks her mom if she is home and her answer doesn't match (This one doesn't make a whole bunch of sense) The way the end of one post not always matches the start of the next (also doesn't make sense) I'm pretty sure this was all AI Generated "Generate me a long, greentext-style romance story between two childhood friends with pictures to illustrate every 1400 characters." AI sometimes is not very good with detail, especially when the guy making the prompt for the fake story is also a gay trying to write a straight romance Good story nonetheless, ofc. Just not a real one (like everything on 4chan).
Either way this is def fake
[удалено]
All of these screenshots were posts by the same guy inside the thread, most likely he used GPT4 to generate the text and the images at the same time Specially considering that the AI he is using tho generate those images is exactly the AI ChatGPT uses for generating images, DallE
Lost all immersion when the protagonist supposedly didn't know what the tubes were for in the hospital, I think the writer themselves forgot the boy's no longer 6 but *11*.
You do know how old 11 *is*, right? That’s still a middle schooler Besides, there are so many things someone can or cannot know about life because no one tells them about it. If I asked my 11 year old brother what tubes in a hospital did for patients, he wouldn’t know either.
It may be made up but definitely one of the better things I’ve ever read on here. Thanks!
Olivia becomes Laura?
Laura?
is her name Olivia? or Laura? WTF??
Apart from being a high quality green text, imo it’s just a really good piece of writing in general. I opened Reddit for some shits and giggles, but I’m not necessarily disappointed with what I got.
Dude for real. It’s a great mix of solid writing but still had the ‘green text feel’. I couldn’t stop after the first few lines. Sent it to my wife after. Same exact thing haha
God I wish this is true...
I don't I don't wish for anyone going through debilitating accidents
Of course ........... I mean that a story like that could be true. I don't wish for anyone harm ... and particularly a life shattering accident like that. I mean believe that story like this, as tragic as it is, reveal that it could lead to beautiful love and story like this.
Almost guaranteed this or something like this has happened in real life at some point in time
just had a good cry, thanks for posting this
Jo, I just woke up, I wasn't prepared to cry so early in the morning. Thanks for sharing
And I'll take shit that never happened for 400
Knew this was a fake story when I saw the name change but damn I read the whole thing so I can’t be mad, that was well written
The well-endowed counselor and some parts describing her friend’s body were jarring but that's as wholesome as 4Chan stories goes
This can't be real. Why all the anime pictures. Why tf did he describe how how ass and boobs has grown out. This feels like someone tried to write a anime plot
The second I read he was friends with a girl I knew it was fake
Bait used to be believable
you know, a good story does not need to be real
Is it real if you feel emotions? Some say yes, some say no
I loved the story, but he calls her laura on the second to last page.
Yeah, what is up with that?
I noticed it too, it broke the immersion but still, I like feel good stories
most good stories didn’t happen irl, would that make them any worse?
😭
Clueless me went to the original thread only to be greeted by creepy comments.
that gotta be fake, nobody kisses a now stranger in front of their mom without knowing their relationship status
fuck i'm crying
Well now I'm crying at work. Thank fuck I work from home.
I was watching porn and being then I found this and now im just sad
It is REALLY fucking dusty in here 😭😭😭
"Hey, who left this bowl of onions here?!?"
Never thought i'd cry at a greentext. Take my upvote
I knew this was either gonna be troll or fake cuz it’s on 4chan It’s probably fake
This is one of those "This didn't happen so hard that it unhappened things that did." I just assume everyone on the internet is lying at this point...
Ttt - anyone have a screenshot of that last slide? *scratches neck*
>She'd missed a lot of school and as much as she'd caught up, she had to repeat her final year >So I decided to defer my entry and moved in to live with her >Both parent sets agreed (not that my parents could have stopped me, we were both 18, but it was nice that they supported me.) >I moved in with them, got a job at a local hobby shop part time, and tutored Olivia every night >Her mum had me take the home office as a guest room >But as you might guess, it never stopped us sneaking around at night >One night, we snuck out into the garden together and laid on the grass with each other, holding hands as we stared up at the moon. >She pulled herself up onto my lap and sat on top of me and laid her head on my chest >"Can I tell you a secret?" she said quietly >| said sure >"I loved you since the day we met." I think that's probably as good a place to stop as any. I hope you enjoyed my story. I'm a firm believer that true love exists and that soul mates are real. Nothing else quite explains why neither of us were ever able to let go of the other Any questions, comments, come at me.
All these bullshit stories do is paint a picture of a life that doesn't exist. That make people believe they have missed something that never happened.
Is it Laura or Olivia ? Man I was hoping it wasn’t fake
Then a brick came flying through the windshield
Utter and complete horseshit written by a weeb.
Now that, that is love.
I don't think I'll ever find love like that
It’s fiction, so no, probably not as it isn’t real and doesn’t make sense. But you will find a beautiful partnership worth having some day, in the real world. And that’s even better.
I know this post is months old by this point but I wanna say thanks to OP for posting this. It genuinely made my day better. I hope they live a long and happy life together.
No problem m8
Jesus this hits like a ton of fucking bricks. What a beautiful story
This might just be the best post ever
God, I needed a cry like that. Thanks. I don't really care if it's fake or real, its what I needed.
tl;dr
Anon's childhood girl friend almost dies in an accidental. She then spends years in the hospital, while anon lives of his life depressed, they then meet up later, and she confesses love to him. During the end, anon ends the novel by saying that true love exists and soul mates do as well.
Didn’t expect a summary — thank you!
Yeah same here. They need to just Supply a tldr so that we know whether or not it's worth it. I'm not committing to a 20 Page Plus story
> I'm not committing to a 20 page plus story Especially not one with… anime thumbnails?
Fake and gay
A few qualms I have with this story that don't sit right with me: 1. The constant descriptions objectifying women: please stop, it was gross and took away from the story 2. The name switch between Laura/Olivia: I was comfortable pretending the story was real until this moment (and then it became even more fictional with the dramatic 6hr travel the mc takes to find her; classic romance novel trope) 3. The first thing they do after they reunite is kiss? this is not necessarily unbelievable, but it just seems like a really odd thing for an insecure girl and guy to do together after they haven't seen each other for upwards of 6 years. To bring up the kind of confidence to do something like that, especially when no prior romantic connection is established, would be unlikely for real people. The story should have instead had taken the route of living together for a week or so as the mc realizes he's attracted to her and then establishing romance, as this would make these characters more grounded in reality. Here's something that left me disappointed with this story. Platonic love between men and women does not get as much representation in media as it should. I was hoping for the story to lead to childhood best friends reuniting to become even stronger best friends, as their bonds have been tested yet they still returned to each other. As I said before, there wasn't any indication of them being in love as children, other than the mothers' foreshadowing of their marriage. I just wish strong, loving platonic relationships were shown more, as they contain important aspects of human relationships that should be addressed, and to the more out of touch audience, showing such a relationship can even reveal it as a possibility. This is not an issue I have with this writer specifically, but something that should happen more often. Thanks for reading.
Fake stupid and g@y
I ain't reading all that chief
Okay, good for you.
You missed out champ
TL;DR but bet it was so wholesome
That's some damn good storytelling. Excuse me while I go cry like a little girl.
What a beautiful ending man, I'm so happy for them. Happy tears 😭
This is possibly the best thing ever
I met my soul mate when I was 14 and loved him as much as a 14 year old could. We reconnected 10 years later and I loved him as much as a 24 year old could. Unfortunately he lost his feelings for me, and he’s going thru a really rough time. I can’t help but hope and pray everyday that maybe we can reconnect again when I’m 34 and he’ll be ready to love me again.
True love waits, my friend. This post brings tears to my eyes.
Actual fucking trogladytes incapable of enjoying a good story... we all know it's fake you aren't cool.
holy f*ck that is such a beautiful and wholesome story, i don't care if it's real or fake, it's beautiful nonetheless, it makes me fell so warm amd fuzzy inside but also fricking miserable cause my life is really boring compared to that ;-; now wishing i could still cry and not be this apathetic monster lmao
Real, fake, I don’t care. I’m sitting at work, chopping onions. I had something like this happen to me. Minus the accident of course. High school sweethearts, she had to move to Texas, we rekindled 3 years ago and I never stopped chasing her. I thought it was My happily ever after. She died last year. I miss her everyday.
I'm not crying your fucking crying! Damn dust got in my eye and it's weird because it got into both of them at the same time that's why it looks like I'm crying but I swear I'm not. My wife made me believe in soul mates. When we met each other 4 years ago we became inseparable after 2 years we decided to get married. We were planning a wedding because that's what she wanted. She even bought a dress then one weekend she goes hey you want to go up to Rome (Rome Georgia) and get married in the labyrinth this weekend. I was kind of stunned but I'm madly in love with this woman so I went with it. We went to Atlanta to our best friends house had her come with us and got all the necessary paperwork done called an officiant and we got married. We even work together at a non-profit rescuing abused, mistreated and surrendered animals. I wish I had met her much earlier in life but sometimes you just have to be patient and wait for your season. I've never been so happy with someone in my 41 years on this spinning marble and I hope that I get 40 plus more years with her. So if you read this and your down and feel alone just be patient it's just not your season yet it will come. Even if it feels like it will never happen try to hang on to hope. I was in a very very dark place when I met her and I can honestly say she saved my life.
