Y.O.L.O. (One Shot)

You Only Live Once

May's POV

What happens when different and diverse hearts meet?

And when that particular meeting would turn two hearts into one?

Anyways, my name is May Salvador. A happy-go-lucky girl and the heiress of a mafia organization.

I did not believe in those things called Love, until I met this one person at the Mafia Assembly 10 years ago when I was still 8.

He was Jake Samuel. He works under our mafia organization despite that he is still young. He aims to be one of the strongest in the organization.

From just one glimpse of him, I had that eerie feeling that he was the one.

Well, kids back then always makes mistakes. When I went to him to talk, he treated me like garbage.

It looked like he was really annoyed at me. But I really get that always. People get annoyed at me because of my weird behaviour.

However, I still forced him to talk to me. So he got really annoyed that time and then he decided to talk to me.

We talked about alot of things. And we found out that both of us had alot in common, except our personalities.

He was hot headed, serious, and gets annoyed easily. While I was always happy, cheerful, and doesn't care about the world when I'm happy.

He even showed me inside the infamous giant clock-building in the Mafia's yards.

It was all beautiful, but I realized its full beauty when I discerned that the mechanic of these clock where made of glass.

From my surprise, Jake turned on a giant spotlight on the right-corner of the room. And in an instant, the glass components came shining like brilliant diamonds.

Those where one of the most awesome days of my life. Me and Jake became friends. And we occasionally meet inside the giant clock tower to hang out.

But little did we know, when time passed by, our hearts were falling for each other.

When we both realized this, the world got too cruel.

After Jake proposed to me to become my wife in the near future..

"May, you must never talk with Jake. Because as a heiress of an organization, you must marry another heir of a stronger organization." My father said.

I was in my father's office at that time. Thinking why fate has led me into this.

After that I told Jake one last time. But he said it was okay that we should still meet even though it was dangerous for him. Both of us would still meet inside the clock.

9:58pm

So me and Jake still continued our relationship. Until one day, a worker in the organization called me..

Saying that the love of my life ;Jake, was killed by my father. And all that is left from him was a heart pendant with an engraved YOLO letters on it. And inside that pendant has two pictures on it; mine and Jake's. They put it inside the Clock-tower in the organization.

After the worker said those things, tears fell into my eyes..

I immediately went to the clock-tower to see everything for myself.

Because I keep telling myself that all of these are not true. Forcing myself to believe those words.

As I went inside the top-most floor in the tower, I felt guilt.

When guilt rushed unto me, I realized everything..

It was all my fault. My father had already warned me but I kept being selfish.

The clock was releasing an ominous ticking sound while I was finding the pendant.

Then I saw a faint golden light beside the giant spotlight. It was beautiful, I can still feel Jake's presence whilst holding the pendant.

Tears rolled my face, thinking of him. I don't know what to do with my life anymore.

It's like this world that I am standing on lost its meaning. Toughts of plans on what to do next raced on my mind.

Until I ran passed this brilliant idea; 'What if I just kill myself?'.

For now, it is the best thing to do..

Jake's POV

11:56pm

I was doing my daily routine here in the mafia, I went from building to building, checking the weapons and ammos that are stored. When I noticed that the clock tower stopped working.

'Maybe it had a power outage?' I tought.

So I went to check it myself. I took minutes for me to reach the top-most floor in the tower because my body was still tired from work.

As I reached the floor, I saw the clock's components shining along the moonlight. But something was wrong.

The brilliant glass components were blaring the color red.

And a shadowy figure of a person that looked like it got crushed by the clock's components stood nearby.

The moment I saw the figure, I already knew who it was.

I trembled as my tears started rolling.

"Th-this c-can't be happening.."

Blood was still oozing from the figure as the moonlight shone upon it.

"MAY!" I shouted at her even though I knew that she won't even reply.

I ran towards May and tried to pull her from the clock. But it was too late.

I can already feel her crushed body turning cold..

So I kissed her cheeks and said,

"Goodbye May, don't worry, I will see you soon in the afterlife"

I cried hopelessly and jumped outside the clock tower..

I felt the wind caressing me to comfort, the moon and stars watching over me as I fell.

It was all calm, but I can still feel sadness.

Then pain slapped me and it lasted for minutes until everything went black..
