MY SHORT STORY JOURNEYS (ENG)

LOVE WILL REMEMBER

***

It's such a bright morning where the birds could be heard chirping. The sun was shining through the window of my room, sending its warmth right through the pores of my skin. But the warmth seemed to be not enough for me when I remember that someone I once or in other words someone I still really love, is no longer here with me.

Alex Lynn Metcalfe, that's probably the full name of the guy in my mind. And it seemed like a year ago, I never saw his brown eyes and dark brown hair again. Meeting him is like an impossible thing for me..

Currently, I'm still focused on completing my college work, named it writing poetry. Well, I don't know though but losing Alex could really help me boost up some positive energies.

And sometimes I'm grateful for that. But on the other hand, I still have some regrets. The regret that always comes when I remember the day I broke his heart.

The jealousy and selfishness that I had in the past will always seem to be an endless regret..

This morning doesn't look so bright as the black clouds can be seen dotting the horizon just to shift the position of the sun, really in line with how dark my heart is right now.

This break of semester I could say that it's the worst one. My parents, as usual, are always busy spending time outside the house with their co-workers.

My friends also spend time with their lovers. And me? Of course, just stay at home, and lock myself up in the room by my soft mattress.

Everyone seemed to never make time for me, even if it's just a little...

Trinity Renee Kubly, for some reason, the girl with blue eyes and beautiful blonde hair is now starting to dominate my mind and heart.

I took the smartphone which I put on the table to the left of the bed. I didn't hesitate to start looking at the picture of her which I never deleted from my cellphone's gallery. Her image seemed to be captured in my memory from the past to now..

It's been about a year since she and I broke up. And the breakups weren't actually what I wanted, but Trinity was the only person who seemed to want all of that.

Losing her is painful, but sometimes I pour it all out by creating several pieces of music. Some positive things have indeed come since the day she left, but the regrets due to the stupid things I did in the past really feel like they will never end...

But no! I can't continue living this way, haunted by guilt. I have to do something to fix everything that's broken.

Maybe It's True That I Can't Live Without You

Cause Maybe Two Is Better Than One

One of her favorite songs started to stop playing. A blonde haired girl is now looking at her cell phone screen, showing the name of Alex, a guy who's been in her mind.

She was really confused about his purpose to call her. Half of her mind wanted to reject a call, but the other half wanted the opposite.

The girl whose name is Trinity now has decided what to do. She immediately wiped away the tears that were flowing freely when she played her favorite song with Alex when they were still together.

And the step she took was to answer the call from the guy she still loved.

Trinity also told herself not to be someone as selfish as before. However, she had to hear his explanation. She didn't know what Alex wanted to say, but she hoped that Alex would explain everything and then ask her to come back into his arms.

Like Alex, he was confused. Maybe it was because he didn't know what to say, but on the other hand he felt happy because Trinity was still using the same number.

Alex and Trinity are now starting to talk again like before when they were still together, or more precisely about a year ago.

Their conversation initially seemed stiff. It really takes quite a bit of time to explain the past mistakes made by both of them. And one of those who really wants to fix it is Alex. Trinity was the same, but she wasn't brave enough to start.

"Trinity, listen to me." Alex paused the conversation, just to take a deep breath, trying to get rid of the nervousness. "I don't mind if you want this or not.. But it's clear that I want us to start over again.. like a year ago."

Trinity's heart felt like it had stopped beating when she heard Alex's confession that he wanted her to come back. She couldn't believe that her wish had come true.

Tears of joy began to fall as a few sobs and laughter was heard bursting out.

"Alex.. you know, I really love you.. and this feeling has never changed until now.. but I need an explanation of what you did with Katlynn that day."

"You know, it's not what you see.. I just helped her who was about to fall and didn't kiss her like people say.."

The cry of pain was heard breaking. Trinity couldn't hold back all the sadness anymore. "Oh my God.. I'm sorry Alex.. I didn't mean to be selfish."

Alex heard her sad cries through his cell phone. Now he feels the same sadness. "No... I'm sorry for being a fool."

Not meant to be wasting the time, Trinity immediately wiped her tears. She didn't want the conversation they had to end with each other blaming themselves. "Alex.. I love you so much and I wanna be yours once again."

Alex fell silent, his heart seemed to have stopped beating, the same as what Trinity had previously felt. His smile now looks bright. "Same here.. and I Love You so much more than anything."
