I can bother to read only so many meme arrows. Please, at least try to properly format your text.
hitshappens
I'm pretty sure this story is just a fantasy he had about his roommate's girlfriend. Things in life don't work out this way
ReallyWellFuck
Ahhhhh.... The Ballad of Ella. Worth the read.
DirkHardpec
This took me forever to read and now I am sad, that was a roller coaster of emotions.
AnElectrifyingMan
I wanted to laugh damnit. I kept thinking there would be some humorous punch line at the end until I saw the letter. Goddamnit.

I lost it when he said Nicole was walking backwards while saying goodbye, funny visual there

I'm at a loss of words about this...this has got to be one of the best texts I've ever read...stop cutting onions already!

Girl turns out to be a dude, who's dying of a rare autoimmune disease. Only the writers blood can save her, but he dies while texting/drive

Again, all credit goes to @kysthei aha never expected this to get to front page! Found this last night on his page and just wanted to share.

you know that moment when you want to comment something but you're left with no words to say because of the damn feels.
robertloblawlessthethird
Read it. Hurt my eyes. Someone started cutting onions near the end.
KirchoffsVoltageLaw
Read the whole thing and now I can't study anymore. This thing hits you hard.
fredrikfrenulum
A shitload of onions.
PaprikaSix
It might be because I'm a heartless robot, but I couldn't get sad because the story had become too unbelievable to me
ShiftedBeef
Best fucking story ever made up if it's fake. I've never felt for a character like that before.
Odinheim
I have to agree; It plays out too similarly to a movie, and the female lead is unbelievable in character depth. But I feel for the guy.
PaprikaSix
I got sad at first, thinking they had become a couple, with the accident happening years/months later, but only one night? Movie timeline.

PaprikaSix
Halfway through, can do without 70% of the description, I get it, Ella is heroin for your eyeballs, move it along!
ThatEdward
This. I got tired of it about half way through, and bailed. The fucking Atlas Shrugged of greentext, right here.

The ballad of Ella is worth the read
LETSGETIT300NIGGA
I'd recommend reading, shit gets deep

BlastFX
That's even worse. I'm not here for deep, I'm here for funny.
Handbookfortherecentlydeceased
This is twilight with reversed genders and most teenage girl drama novels. It's not deep.
Handbookfortherecentlydeceased
Not to mention the whole love triangle thing is in both twilight and hunger games, targetting teenage girls, and many young adult romances.
Godogan
Did you even read it? Like at all?
Handbookfortherecentlydeceased
Yes, it is pretty much the exact formula of multiple romance novels paired with overly physical descriptions of love interests and little
Handbookfortherecentlydeceased
Depth of character. I'd go find a list if I had more room.
PCLoadLtrWTF
So did Nicole rear end Ella in order to get him back?
IHaveAFetish
uuuuuuuuu!!!!!

BobMcBob88
My thoughts exactly. Either humor is my coping mechanism for the feels, or I think there is more to Nicole...
ffilm
Nah, if she was that kind of person, she would have fought harder to keep him.
MediaMuerte
You're an absolute savage. I present to you, the internet.
electrouser5
It does seem a bit suspicious, doesn't it?!
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
This is the eternal question asked each time this is brought up, nobody can say.
PaprikaSix
Anybody could say and it'd be just as true as the rest of the story
LoTRFanatic42
"Until such a time comes that we *both* decide... nothing will change." Nicole definitely killed her.
Mostbetadude
So Nicole gave him a pass? Sure it fucked his life up and he will never be the same, but I mean damn!
ICanHasJava
I don't know about y'all, but I like my fantasies to be at least a little realistic. This reads like it was written by a 14 year old fedora.
ClosetEconomist
Can we get a tl;dr overview?
ICanHasJava
Ordinary dude meets his fantasy woman, they fuck, then she dies. Insert love triangle drama throughout.
PaprikaSix
Holy shit this summary is perfect. Everybody's acting like this is next level stuff, but it's a boring work of fiction.
Handbookfortherecentlydeceased
Twiight, switch genders, no vampires or werewolves.
hitshappens
Guy falls in love with roommates GF. Makes up a 4chan story about how he won her over, but she died.
RepostFromLastWeek
Its a long time since i've read it, but its roughly; dude falls for a girl, girl dies, dude goes out with girls bff.
ClitKicker87
Gonna need multiple comments for this one, here we go... Dude and his friend from high school become college roommates, spot a hot slice
ClitKicker87
They can't believe how attractive this girl is, they find out her name is Ella, anon's friend decides to become a fashion expert to win her
ClitKicker87
Doesn't quite pan out, but the two start dating, anon is still in love with Ella, Ella introduces anon to her friend Nicole and they date
ClitKicker87
Things between anon and Nicole are great, during the summer anon gets a job in LA, just an internship for the summer. Ella goes to LA
ClitKicker87
To see some of her family, Ella tells anon about how his friend broke up with her, eventually they bang and anon spends the night at Ella's

This is my first time seeing it and I've been on Imgur for the last 3 years.

This story simply wrecks me every time. Worth the read, folks.
Toverslak
https://github.com/bibanon/bibanon/blob/master/Ella.md more readable version! That story messed me up real bad. Jesus christ.
TheBigRedFunkOG
Same. A classic green text. Gets me every time.

Gonna throw it in the favorites and read it later.

The Ballad of Ella

And that kids is how i met your mother
chiefrunswithscissors
Maybe if I had bat eyes
spoodermon
i tried, but its so long and blurry my eyes hurt
Felderburg
Is it though? Is it really?
PaprikaSix
It's nothing special, attractive college kids doing typical love triangle stuff, some video game references and a LOT of descriptive fluff
thesolamnus
yes
ILikeCharmanderOk
Tl;dr anyone?! F u OP
OliverWhatever
girl dead boy cry
ILikeCharmanderOk
Is it for reals or is it some faked shit?
OliverWhatever
Does it matter for the story? Plenty of books are not real, and they are still great reads.
PaprikaSix
Think of a young adult novel, remove the dystopia and gender swap the love triangle and there you go
ILikeCharmanderOk
Is it for reals or is it some faked shit?
PaprikaSix
Claims to be real but the way it all pans out is too much like a movie IMO. There might be some truth in the small details but that's it.
feckyall
I have absolutely nothing to do today, and I'm still not going to read that.
yuraf
It's a ton of feels. A beautiful love and sadtime story.

hitshappens
Good. It's all lies anyway
Satsuiki
Thankfully I've read it once before. WOrth the read.
stayawhilestayforever
Amen.
HikariShade
Saved yourself some feels then. Its an old but sad gold.
feckyall
Good- I also did not want to cry today either
fenrir18
I cried. A couple times. Such a gorgeous story.
Lastdarkninja
Tl;dr version?
HikariShade
It's so complex you cant really sum it up into a good TLDR. Read it, it is worth it the first time through :)
daddychan
Just read it. You have nothing to do anyway. Embrace the clutches of imgur.
PedanticGonkDroid
Would be a crime of the highest order against literature.
MarkelleWahlbergetta
Guy A falls in love with girl A, she dates his friend. Guy A dates girl A's friend. They break up with their SOs and get together. She dies.
MarkelleWahlbergetta
Then Guy A ends up back with the friend of the dead girl. They get married. It's a good, descriptive, heartbreaking read. :(
JonnyBasterd
Your mum must be proud
YangsRightArm
It's worth it. It truly is. The balad of ella
uauauauaua
I did read like 10% of it and now I know that Ella died and now he is with Nicole. I don't know what happened to his friend.
TacoBellBalls
Worth reading once. Great story.
feckyall
Alright, another day...perhaps
LookingCaliforniaFeelingMinnesota
Set yourself like a half hour aside, think that's how long it took me.
StarryPlough
Gave it a go but 5-6 lines repeating the same thing over and over was the final straw...
PaprikaSix
Ella was the most beautiful girl there ever was, she was in a league of her own, with her emerald eyes and diamond (?) chin, she was 11/10
PaprikaSix
Where other girls had an ass, she pristine glutes, forged by Hephaestus himself on Mount Olympus, with Zeus' personal seal of approval
PaprikaSix
She was also the most smart, witty woman ever encountered, with a playful attitude and charming sense of humour and a wall of 'vidya'
PaprikaSix
Ella was perfectly fine with being placed on a pedestal and stalked by two men who are incapable of speaking to her, but don't question it
