Creative Story: A Nineties Love Story Once there were two people named Marsha and Leroy. They were madly in love with each other and their personalities were exactly alike. Marsha and Leroy were absolutely perfect for each other except for two characteristics about each of them. Marsha had a rather wealthy family and their neighborhood was on the East Side of Atlanta. Leroy had no money at all and he lived in the projects on the West Side of Atlanta. The problem wasn't that Marsha didn't want to go out with someone who wasn't as financially stable as she was, or that Leroy was ashamed of where he lived.

It was that a few years before they knew each other they both got in gangs, Leroy got in a gang from the west side and Marsha got in gang on the east side. These gangs where rival and if anyone of there gang friends found out about there friendship both of them would be shot. Neither Marsha or Leroy would ever sleep at night because they would spend their nights deriving up plans so that they could either get out of there gang without being killed or a way that they could see each other without being caught by either one of their gangs. They never got to see each other because Leroy didn't have a phone and neither one of them had cars.

Finally Leroy had to see and be with Marsha so he stuck out of his apartment, stole a car and drove it to the neighborhood where Marsha lived. He stood up by her room and threw rocks up at her bedroom window until she looked out and said 'boy how you trip pin down there trying to through rocks up at this window know in I is fast sleep' then she wiped the sleep from her eyes and saw that the person throwing rocks at her window was Leroy. When she noticed that the person she was yelling at was Leroy she yelled with excitement 'hey, what are you doing here, I'll be down in a second. ' She ran down the stairs and right as she came through the front door she got shot right in the head with a 9 mm by one of the Leroy's fellow gangsters. He didn't know that they had followed him to Marsha's house.

Leroy was filled with both anger and sadness at the same time because the only reason he had for living was gone because Marsha was dead. So the next morning he got up took one of his guns from under his bed and went around where all of the other gang members where, and as each of them would wank up he would shoot them in the head just like they did to Marsha. Soon after he was done with his killing spree he used the last bullet on himself. He kneeled down on the ground put the gun in his mouth and killed himself 'Kurt Cobain Style'.
