Months , days , hours , minutes , and seconds had passed by , our communication got stronger and deeper each day without knowing. I became so attached to her that I could sense if anything is wrong with her without her telling me. Valentine's day was few days behind , I wanted to make a move that would bring our relationship to another level. Well pretty much both of us knew we loved each other but the situation wasn't right for either of us to confess. Whenever I would try to confess my love to her something would be in the way. My mind was playing games with me since I'm not sure where would this end if I would confess even knowing that we love each other. So I made a firm decision of confessing my love on Valentine's day , I just didn't want to lose her and those insecurities started plaguing in my mind. Exactly two days before Valentine's day, I started preparing my long lengthy speech because this type of an event only comes once in a year , I wanted to make sure every line would melt her like an ice cream on the hot weather. So I prepared the speech and I was practicing the talk in front of my mirror , the pressure was higher than me sitting for my major exams. I had called her in the phone asking if she was free during Valentine's day , well luck sprung on me since she was free on the day I was looking forward. I had told her to meet somewhere near her school since she was having extra class .
One day before Valentine's day, I had invited some of my friends to follow me along to the complex to get Jessica a gift. We had walked around the entire complex and had not find a perfect gift for her. Well I had gave up on finding a gift for her since there was nothing that was promising. So we headed to the exit of the complex and I saw an accessories shop right beside of the complex exit. Well I had to try my luck, so I went to the shop hoping to find a right gift. I was about to enter the shop but I paused the second I saw Jessica in the shop. My friend Zolan gave me a nudge at the back "hey dude why you aren't you moving forward" and I said " shhhh look who is there in the shop?". "What is that Jessica?and what is she doing here?" said Zolan. "Maybe to get Jack a girl like necklace" said Paul with a giggle. I stared at Paul ,"hey man I was just mocking around" said Paul. I saw Jessica admiring an angel heart like shaped necklace by the time she could have bought it her mum yelled "Jessica its late you gotta go for class now". She left the necklace hanging and rushed into her mum's car swiftly. As soon she was gone , I went into the shop and took a look of that angel heart like shaped necklace. I knew what made that necklace attracted her, she once told me that she loves angel sculptures because it shows peace and I had forgotten about it but luckily she had not bought the necklace yet and it was the last piece.It was like luck was on my favor. So I bought the necklace and thanked my friends for escorting me all the way. I went back home and asked my sister Monica to help me wrap up the necklace since I'm not good in hand skills. So I went to bed early with my heart beating faster than usual and I prayed everything would be perfect tomorrow.
It was Valentine's day , the sun shone its light ray passing through my windows and hitting on my face. The glare of the sun had woke me up , I was very much excited and the same time fear roll down my spine too with the fact I don't know whats her reaction to my confession of my love. So I went to the mirror gave myself a big wide smile and headed to the bathroom to get myself freshen up for the big day. I had wore white plain shirt and black slacks to look all classic. I comb my hair like Austin Mahone and gave myself a wink at the mirror. So I asked mum "mum could you lend me the car a little while?". "You looking all great , anything special today? yea sure the keys are over the dining table" mum replied. "Ha ha ha yea its kinda of a special day for me by the way thanks mum"I replied as I gave mum a kiss on the cheek before leaving. So I sat myself comfortably in the car and drove to Jessica's school. I reached there around fifteen minutes early, look at myself at the side mirror of the car for the last time to make sure I look all neat. The bell rang and students who had attend the extra classes came out. So I took the gift out of my car and waited for Jessica to approach me. I stood nearby a shady tree to make sure none would suspect us dating or anything that would pop up from the modern community. I saw Jessica walking towards me with a smile , as she gets closer my heart beats faster and faster. " Hey Jack "she said and gave me a warm hug. "...Hey " I stammered as I was being really nervous. "So I see you holding a gift and a letter, anything you wanna say?" she said. "..... Yeah its for you " I stammered again. As before I could continue my speech , " Jackkkk move !!!!! she screamed. Before I could had move myself I felt a huge impulsive force acting on my body , I flew straight with a high speed with my body smashing into the roads lamp pose. As I stood up with my body rejecting myself to stand up I felt a fluid was oozing to my eyes as I touched my head I saw fresh blood on my palms with fear I collapsed down on the floor , "Jackkkkkk" she screamed and rushed towards me as fast as the lightning. She grabbed my head and kept on her lap and screamed " somebody called the ambulance" with tears rolling down her eyes like rain. My vision was blurring out slowly and the sounds around me was getting softer each second. I finally fainted due to my body had lost very much blood. I woke up with my head was fully bandaged and my right arm was given a broken arm casing and my family members had circled around me. I rolled my eyes around me and saw mum crying at the corner. The doctor told "he is now awake don't worry is nothing serious ,he is perfectly alright just dont make noise or cry in front of him as he as just got back his conscious". My dad held my hand firmly and laid is head right beside my left shoulder and my siblings smiled widely. " Are you alright Jack?" mum said with the stain of tears on her face. I took out my oxygen mask with the help of my brother Jake as I was very weak. "I'm ...... alright.......mum" I replied with each word once. They were with me for two hours because the visiting hours had ended. " We will meet you tomorrow in the afternoon Jack" said mum while kissing me on the cheeks and droplets of her tears landed on my cheek. I couldn't calm mum down, I was too weak to even speak and I felt so hopeless in the situation. After everyone had gave me hugs and kisses , they waved me goodbye and goodnight and went back home. I was too tired so I had slept early.
The next morning I woke up with droplets of water splashing on my hand, as I open my eyes I saw Jessica crying as she was sitting beside me. She was wearing her school uniform and it was 9 a.m. in the morning I knew she had bunked school because she was already two hours late for school. As I open my oxygen mask to speak to her, she held my hand and pulled back the oxygen mask back to where its original place. She rubbed her tears and took out the letter that was given by me but it was blood stained and she took out the gift from her bag. " I don't want you to speak a word , let me do the talking" she said as tears dropped from her eyes. "I'm gonna read this letter in front of you because if you hadn't meet into an accident you would be reading it to me"she said. She read every word that I had written in the letter, every sentence she would pause a minute to rub her eyes that was continuously tearing. She read out this sentence crystal clear " Jessica I had been loving you since the day I met, I wanted to make this move because it would hurt me more looking at you on some other guys than you rejecting my love. I don't if this is the right time but Jessica will you be my valentine miracle ?". She nodded her head and with a crying voice she told " yes Jack I will be your valentine ". She unwrapped my gift and told " this was the necklace that I wanted to buy for months, how you know that I loved this necklace? ". I took off my mask and told " I saw you admiring this necklace the other day so I thought this would be a great gift" with a smile. Without warning she kissed me right in the lips, it was short but meaningful to both of us. " I promise to be with you no matter how the situation is, we will walk through the pain together" she said. " I'm really happy that you had accepted my love without hesitating " I said as I hold up my tears. " You will always be my Prince Charming" she said as she hugged me tight. " I better get going before I get caught for bunking school" she said with a giggle after long minutes of crying. " But.... aren't you already late" I said. " Don't worry about me I'm your princess I have my ways" with a laughter. She packed her bag and kissed me right in the forehead."Get well soon my prince I'm not done with kissing you yet and so does cuddling. So don't keep me waiting I need my daily dose of love from you and mostly I need you" she giggled while try to hold back her tears and exit the door.
