Once Upon a time..........


There was a  boy and a girl leaving on 2 completely different worlds…they’re both graduating in college

The boy was popular,handsome he had everything that a girl could ask for.

The girl on the other hand was a wall flower,she’s quiet, and she’s not that pretty either..she lacks the qualities that every men would want physically but she has what few men want and that’s personality.

But despite their differences they still loved and cared for each other, they’re already on their 3rd Anniversary.

Everything was perfect there relationship was perfect………everything was really well……

Until one day…………..

The boy started distancing himself from the girl he would make up excuses for not attending there date, he would say he has a lot of things to do so he couldn’t call or even reply to her texts, the girl didn’t pay much attention though.

She thought that the boy was just really busy. But then she started hearing rumors that her boyfriend was hanging out with one of her girl classmates. Her boyfriend didn’t show up for weeks and even though they were in the same school, they don’t see each other.

One day she decided to watch her boyfriend’s basketball practice, when she got their his friends said that he went somewhere and they don’t know where he is  and so she just left, she decided to go the library like she used to whenever she has free time

She went in and as expected there are only 5 of them inside she got the book she liked to read and since she still have 2 hours of free time she decided to go to the end of the library where no students go to, well except for her of course.

She was about to sit down when she saw a familiar face, she got closer and saw her boyfriend and one of her girl classmate kissing.

She dropped her books,it made a slight sound enough to make the 2 people notice her, when the boy saw her she didn’t see any emotion, his face was blank, back then whenever she saw him she could see happiness, and love in his eyes, but now there are no traces of that emotion.

The boy just grabbed her hand, dragged her out of the library they went to the rooftop.

I want to break up the boy said…

But why? the girl said and tears started to fall from her eyes

I just……………..i just don’t love you anymore -boy

But the boy was looking at a different direction..

Look into my eyes when you say you don’t love me anymoregirl

The boy turned to her and look deeply into her eyes..

I..don’t love you anymore, and you know what? I never did! It was all just a bet actually, i mean who would want to date a girl like you anyway huh? Tell me who would like and love a girl like you? Look at you, you’re not even pretty !? You’re disgusting, and you know what? I’m breaking up wih you, because you see this?

The boy brought out a huge amount of money…

This is the payment for winning the bet because we lasted for 3 years and you know the best part today is our 3rd anniversary, which means today’s the deadline baby!? So….

He turned around and started walking to the door

Goodbye……..

After that the boy and the girl never saw each other again

2 years have passed and now they have their own jobs. The girl changed a lot now she learned how to socialize, she learned how to carry herself, all i can say is she’s really far from the girl back in college she now has attitude she never allowed anyone to hurt or say something bad about her.

 …but until now the pain is still their, she was still hurting, she’s angry but not with him but with herself because up until now, her heart was still his, she still loved him even though she learned that he just toyed with her feelings. She hate herself for still loving him. She was about to go to work when someone stood in front of her, when she look up she saw her girl classmate, the one whom his boyfriend is with in the library.

She smiled and the girl asked her how she was, she just

replied oh i’m fine..

The girl brought out a letter and handed it over to her, and before the girl left she said:

Please read the letter, he put a lot of effort into writing it…i’m sorry by the way

and the girl left…

The girl put the letter inside her pocket„ and went to work as soon as she got home she opened and read the letter…

After reading it she bursted into tears…inside the letter:

Dear Girl,

First of all i’m really sorry for what i did to you in the past but believe me i have my reasons sweetheart, if you’re reading this maybe i’m not in this world anymore, i’m sorry if i didn’t tell you this but i have cancer that time,i never had the courage to tell you because i don’t want you to feel sorry for me. I tried chemotherapy, but then it didn’t work, on our 3rd anniversary i learned that i will only live for 1 year. I was really devasted that time i didn’t know what to do! I’m sorry if said those things to you, i didn’t mean it, if you only knew how much pain and suffering i felt when i was saying those things to you. It hurts me to see you cry so as much as possible i don’t want to see not even a single tear. And so i decided to break up with you to lessen the pain that you will feel…i’m sorry if i have been a jerk! I’m really sorry! I love you! And i’ll always will! Remember that! I will love you! Forever and ever! 

- Love Boy
