She had boyfriend, she grew up with him. To her, he was the only one for her, the most important and precious person in the world. But to him, shewas just another girl.
One day, she asked, "Wanna go to a movie?" "Can't." "Why? Do you need to study or something?" "No. I'm just meeting up with a friend."
It was always like this with him. He met girls in front of her like it was nothing. The word 'love' never came out of his mouth, only hers. There weren't any anniversaries, nothing. But everyday, before they say goodbye, he would hand her a little stuff bear, without fail. She didn't know why, though. Everyday, she would tell him 'i love you', and he responded by handing her another stuffed bear. They all filled her room, one by one, there were so many.
On her 15th birthday, she got up in the morning, picturing a party with him in her head. She stranded herself in her room, waiting for his call, but lunch passed and soon it was dark. He still hasn't called. It was already tiring to look at the phone anymore. Around two in the morning, he had suddenly called her and woke her from her sleep. He told her to go outside her house. She was so excited then. She practically ran out.
"Hey," she said, walking towards him. "Here, take." And again he handed her a little stuffed bear. "What's this?" "I didn't give it to you yesterday, so I am now. Bye." He began to walk to back to his house a couple blocks away, when she stopped him. "Wait! Do you know what today is?" "I've got to go," he said, then walked away.
She began to become numb as her heart sank. She thought to herself, "Maybe he's not the right one." Then for days, she ditched school, and sat in her room, constintly crying over and over. But everyday, he came to her doorstep, giving her those stuffed bears.
One day, she pulled herself together and went to school, but her pain resurfaced when she saw him smiling, with another girl across the hallway. A smile she never saw him with. She ran straight back home, tears falling the whole way. When she got home, she looked at the bears. In a fit of anger, she threw them around. He called her and told her to come to the bus stop. She calmed herself down and walked to the the bus stop.
She kept reminding herself that she's going to forget him, then he came into her sight. He was holding a stuffed bear. "You came. I thought you were upset," he said holding out the little bear, as usual. "I don't want it." "What? Why?" "I don't wanna see a person like you again!" Unlike any other day, his eyes were shaking. "I'm sorry," he apologized in a tiny and shaking voice. He then walked over to the road and stood in the middle. "What are you doing?" He ignored her. "Honk, honk." A loud, big truck was heading towards him. "No! Move away! Move!" She shouted as loud as she could, but he didn't move. He stood there, looking at her with sad eyes.
The sound was terrifying. She screamed and cried but nothing could bring her back. She ran over to the dead body. She sat there, hopelessly crying. She picked up the bear that was about a foot away from the corpse, and ran into her house. She laided the bear onto her bed and sat next to her bed. She looked at all the bears, then gathered them all up and hugged them. Suddenly, "I love you ~ I love you."
"What?" She pressed one of their belly's. "I love you," it said in his voice. She couldn't believe it. She went around, pressing all of their belly's. Some of them were him saying how happy he was to be with her, but all of them at least said 'I love you'. Tears flowed out of her like a tsunami. She took the last one he gave her from her bed and pressed it's belly, which had a large blood stain on it.
"Hey! I just want to say sorry for how shy I am and because I don't say 'I love you' to you. But for now on, I will say it to you everyday, til death. I will always love you, no matter what, forever."
