Compilation of Short Love stories

A girl who felt Ignored

This story is about a girl who felt ignored.
I have a boyfriend who grew up with me. His name is Jake.
I always thought of him as a friend until last year, when we
went for a trip from a club, I found out that I fell in love with
him.
Before the trip was over, I took a step and confessed my love
for him. He smiled and pull me in a hug and said," Loving me
is hard", he smirked.
And soon, we became a pair of lovers, but we loved each
other in different ways. I always concentrated on him only, but
by his side, there were so many other girls whom he used to
flirt and they did the same. To me, he was the only one, but
to him, maybe I was just an another girl. But I always had
stuck to his sayings, "Loving me is hard". So I tried my best.
" Jake, do you want to go watch a movie?" I asked.
"I can't"
" Why? Do you need to study at home?" I felt disappointment
grabbing me.
"No... I am going to meet a friend.."
He was always like that.
He met girls in front of me, like it was nothing.
To him, I was just a girl friend.
The word 'Love' only came out of my mouth.
Since I knew him, I had never heard him say 'I love you'
before.
To us, there weren't any anniversaries at all.
He didn't say anything from the first day except that sentence
and it continued till 100 days...200days...
Everyday, before we say goodbye, he would just hand me a
doll, without fail. I don't know why.
Then one day,
Me: Um, Jake, I...
Jake: what..?! Don't drag, just say...
Me: I love you.
Jake: ..........you....um, just take this doll and go home.
That was how he ignored my three words and handed me a
doll.
Then he disappeared , like he was running away.
The dolls I received from him everyday filled my room one by
one.
There were many.
Then one day came, my 15th birthday.
When I got up in morning, I pictured a party with him, and
stranded myself in my room, waiting for his call.
But lunched passed, dinner passed and soon the sky was
dark. He still didn't call.
It was already tiring to look at the phone anymore.
2am in the morning, he suddenly called me and woke me
from my sleep.
He told me to come out of my house.
Still. I felt joy and I ran out happily.
Me: Jake...
Jake: Here...take this..
Again, he handed me a little doll.
Me: What's this?
Jake: I didn't give it to you yesterday, so I am giving you
now. I'm going now..bye.
Me: Wait, wait! Do you know what today is ?
Jake: Today? Huh?
I felt so sad, I thought he would remember my birthday and
he's just messing around.
He turned around and walked away like nothing had
happened.
Then I shouted.
"wait..."
"you have something to say? "
"Tell me, tell me you love me..."
"What?!"
" Tell me" I put a pathetic self behind and clung onto him.
But he just said simple cold words and left.
"I don't want to say...that I love someone so easily, if you are
desperate to here it, then find someone else."
That was what he said. Then ran off.
My legs felt numb, and I collapsed to the ground. He didn't
want to say easily, how could he.
I felt that maybe he is not the right guy for me.
After that day, I stranded myself at home crying, just crying.
He didn't call me, although I was waiting. He just continued
handing me a little doll every morning outside my house.
That's how those dolls piled up in my room everyday.
After a month, I got myself together and went to school. But
what made the pain resurface was that, I saw him on a street
with another girl.
He had a smile on his face, one that he never showed me as
he touched the doll.
I ran straight back home and looked at the dolls in my room,
and tears fell.
Why did he gave these to me. Those dolls are probably
picked out by some other girls.
In a fit of anger, I threw the dolls around. Then suddenly, the
phone rang. It was him. He told me to come out to the bus
stop outside my house. I tried to calm myself down and
walked to the bus stop. I kept reminding myself that I am
going to forget him, that it's going to end.
Then he came into my sight, holding a big doll.
Jake: Jo, I thought you were pissed, you really came?
I couldn't help hating him, acting like nothing had happened
and joking around.
Soon, he held out the doll as usual.
Me: What...!why...?
I grabbed the doll from his hands and threw it on the road.
Me: I don't need this doll, I don't need it anymore!! I don't
want to see a person like you again!
I spotted out all the words that were inside me. But unlike
other days, his eyes were very shaky, more like teary.
" I'm sorry" he apologised is a tiny voice. He then walked over
to the road to pick up the doll.
" You stupid ! Why are you picking up the doll?! Just throw it
away!!!"
But he ignored me and just went to pick the doll.
Then...
Honk~honk~
With a loud honk, a big truck was heading towards him.
" Jake move! move away" I shouted to the extent that my
voice almost cracked up.
But he didn't hear me, he squatted down and picked up the
doll.
"Jake, move!"
HONK~!!!
"Boom" that sound was so terrifying and it was the only
sound I heard before everything went out silent.
That's how he went away from me. That's how he went
away without even opening his eyes to say that one word to
me. My tear never stop.
After that day, I had to go through everyday with guiltiness
and the sadness of losing him.
And after spending two months like a crazy person, I took out
the dolls.
Those were the only gifts he left me since the we started
going out.
I remembered the days I spent with him and started to count
the days when we were in love or I guess it was just me who
loved him.
"One.. Two.. Three.."
That was how I started to count the dolls.
"484... 485."
It all ended with four eighty five dolls.
I then started to cry again, with a doll in my arms. I never
wanted him to leave me like this. The words echoed all over
my mind that I said to him, "I don't need this doll. I don't
need it anymore!! I don't want to see a person like you Again"
I hugged the doll tightly with tears rolling down my cheeks,
when suddenly...
"I love you, I love you"
I dropped the doll in shock. "I.. lo..ve... you??"
I picked the doll and pressed it's stomach, "I love you I love
you.."
It can't be!! I then started to press the other dolls stomach too
as it piled on the side.
"I love you "
"I love you"
"I love you"
Those words came out non-stop.
I.. love you...
Why didn't I realise that his heart was always by my side,
protecting me.
Why didn't I realise that he loved me with all his heart...
I took out the dolls under the bed and pressed its stomach.
That was the last doll, the one that I threw on the road. It has
it's blood stain on it.
The voice came out, the one that I was missing so much.
"Jo.. Do you know what today is? We have been loving each
other for 486 days. Do you know what 486 is? I couldn't say I
love you.... Umm.. Since I was too shy to tell you this and
you may remember I told you once thatit's hard loving
me..but if you forgive me and take this doll I will say that I
love you.. everyday.. till I die.. Jo, I love you.."
The tears came flowing out of me.
'Why?' I asked God. Why do I only know about this now?
He cant be my side but he loved me until his last minute.
Ignorance hurt and it hurt me too. But the fact that he never
did that to me.
Shaky with all the tears that I shed, I finally went into a
slumber where Jake was saying to me," I love you... Jo"
where I did nothing but smile.
