<img src="https://nbenevid.neocities.org/artistic-blossom-bright-207962.jpg" alt="Love Tree" style="width:504px;height:408px;"/>\n\nThis game is about love. Love is a game at times. Love can be the same or different to all of us. Can you differentiate between which girl you would become for love? Could you be both? If you were the man, what would you do for love? Will you start out on one side and end up in the other? Love is a tricky thing when it comes to the heart of all involved. \n\nChoose your side by clicking on the word that appeals to you the most as you move through the story, though in some passages you may not have a choice but to follow your destiny. \n\nThroughout the years, love remains love. When more hearts are involved, love becomes chaotic. A love triangle can be confusing and daunting. Love consumes us all in some way, shape, or form. Yet, love...has never changed. People change because of love. Can you see yourself as one of the characters? What is [[love|A Calling]] for you?

Betrayal\n\nKassie\n\nI saw her. \nKissing him...\nand knew- \n\nI wanted to be her kissing him.I never felt such an emotion, such love. I knew I had to have him by my side. Once I thought, no man can be between us. I was wrong. Does he know he should be with me? I love him so, I know he loves me so, I see it in his eyes. \n\nHow could they be kissing in front of me? Never had I felt such sadness to see his lips on another. Never had I felt such sadness that I will have to betray her. \n\nI love her so but...\nI love him \nmore.\n\nKris\n\nHis lips...\nHis hands...\nLove found\na way to me.\n\nHe is all I ever wanted. All I ever needed. The love I have felt with him, I have never wanted more. How could love be so wonderful. This feeling, I never want it to end. I beg for more, does he know? When he whispers "I love you," the sound reverbrates my ears, such a wonderful sound to hear.\n\nI told her she can never know love as I have with this man. I told her that one day, she may find this in another man. She smiled at me and said she was happy for me. Though her eyes, did not seem happy. She seemed sad and withdrawn. I must find out why.\n\nBrad\n\nSuch lovely lips, her beauty... I do love her, but something in me feels something missing. When I kiss her, I see another. But I do love her. I do.\n\nSo confused. Love has come to me.

Kassie\n\nI see a storm in the horizon. A thought creeps into my head...but it cannot be. Maybe a shadow...of what is yet to come? I look behind me and there I saw. Her standing on the pier, looking down on me. How is she here? My heart stops, my breath quickens. My fingers tighten on as I feel his loosen. The rage I feel in her... There in her eyes-\n\nI look at him, I look at her.

<img src="https://nbenevid.neocities.org/beach-beautiful-clouds-248775.jpg" alt="Lightening" style="width:504px;height:408px;"/>\n\nStorm\n\nThe storm rolls in, ocean waves high and angry. Lightening crackles, thunder rumbles. The three look out towards the\nblack filled cloudy air. \n\nLightening strikes the ocean...the sand, faster and closer. Rain falling all around them. Without warning, wave upon wave strikes the land. The gush of water so strong. \n\nKris holds onto the rails, Kassie and Brad hold onto to [[each|The Calm]] other.

I do love her, but something in me yearns for another. I feel as if I am missing something. When I kiss her, I see another. But I do love her. I do.\n\nI have never been so confused. I thought finally, love has come to me...and it came in two.

We fell in love. It was a love story. At first, there was nothing, no limits on when and where we saw each other. It soon became three. \n\nI thought it was I, but it wasn't. I thought it was her, but it wasn't. It was him. His ever moving heart, flickers back and forth, back and forth. I loved him so. He said he loved me so. She said she loved him so. Did he say he loved her so? I don't remember. He was my first. He was her first. Our first.\n\nWhy must this be? Oh the [[rage|Scene]] in me builds ever so more. \n\nThe storm in the horizon feels so much like me.

Brad\n\nRaging waves come higher and higher. I look at her, "Come away from the edge, my love." I look above, the guilt is overpowering me but the love, the love I want to hold. I cannot see her eyes though I know, I know... What she once saw as indifferent... now. If only I knew of what to do. I look up...the storm is coming.
