There will ALWAYS BE YOU AND ME (A SEQUEL)

Dedicated to kakaily :D hi there :DD

There will ALWAYS BE YOU AND ME (A SEQUEL)

“Hey, congratulations! You’ve reached Jay, but he’s kinda busy right now. Here’s the beep, y’know what to do!”

*Beep*

“U-Umm…Jay? This is Aome. I just want to check if you’re doing fine there in Thailand. Can you believe it? I wasted about fifty bucks calling you. You’re right, I’m crazy.

Hey, I should hang up now… Take care, Jay.”

*Click*”

Just in time I heard a click, I reached for my phone and rested it on my waiting ears before replying a useless, “I miss you”. Too bad, isn’t it? Too bad I was a nano second late. Aome. How should I describe this unique girl? She’s melodramatic, she cried in every movie we watch. Yes, even comedy. She loves expressing thoughts to people, in other words, she’s a talker. How ironic, my whole life, I was tagged the listener cause I hardly talk. Who would think I’ll end up obsessing over a talker? Oh right, because there’s no talker or listener for us when we’re together.

There’s only you & me.

“Jay, why do ants look like they’re kissing when they meet?”

“How’d you graduate from high school? You stupid, they’re not kissing. It’s the way they communicate.” I replied nonchalantly. You always ask the most unusual questions.

“Isn’t that just weird? I wish that’s also the way we communicate. When I finally find the one I love, I vow to always be with him. As Pon and Zi said, if I can’t hear his heartbeat, he’s not close enough!”

Had you found him yet? I sure hope not, because I rather die today than see you in someone else’s arms. We were like yes and no back then. We are the complete opposite of each other. But like magnets, we attract. Is it because we need each other, or was it because I needed you and you…you’re just any other sweet, kind girl who would like to talk to a useless piece of sh1t like me? Either way is fine with me,

As long as there’s you & me.

“Jay, had you ever wished you were someone else?”

“No,” I remember scoffing, “But I’m sure someone has wished he was this cool!”

“You are so cocky. But I do wish I’m someone else. I wish I’m Juliet, you know, from Romeo and Juliet? Because Romeo would die right after I do.”

You said with your dreamy voice and glossy eyes. Why would you want a fictional character with perfect personalities and zero flaws? Shouldn’t you say, I wish you were mine, Jay? Cause hell to Romeo, the only girl I liked my whole life is in love with him- she doesn’t even need to be Alice in Wonderland or Dorothy or even Juliet- I already like her for who she is. But I couldn’t care less, cause that night- in my bed- there is no Romeo or Hamlet or that Edward fuckin’ Cullen,

There is only you & me.

“Jay, what would you do if we never met?”

“I’ll throw up an extravagant party for girls in the age of 17,” I said nonchalantly, “And then, I’ll find you in that party.”

“But, what if I don’t even exist- or we exist in different times, a thousand years apart, would you still like to be with me?”

What kind of a question is that? Are you sick of me or somethin’? The hell I care with time? If I could, I will break all theories about time and motion, then create my time machine. I’ll follow you anywhere, Aome- even time and space can’t stop me. Because if that day where I saw you unconscious were just one normal day, I would be dead by now- and so will you. And besides, nothing in this world matters when there is no,

You & Me.

“Jay, I’m sorry, but Aome passed away last night-“

“NO! YOU’RE FUCKIN’ KIDDING ME! SHE JUST CALLED ME YESTERDAY!! SHE’S ALIVE!! AOME’S ALIVE! DON’T EVEN JOKE AROUND WITH ME! SHE WAS HEALTHY WHEN I LEFT HER!! STOP LYING!”

“I’m really sorry, Jay. But, Aome’s dead. She died from Alzheimer’s disease. She wanted you stay, but she doesn’t want to hold you back as well so she never told you. But after 5 months of having it, she got worse and worse. Please understand, Jay, please...”

Why can’t I be with you when you need me the most? Why can’t I be there instead of here? I shouldn’t have left you when you told me to not leave. I should have stayed. Then, I could listen to your stories about love and all that crap, I could still see your smile, feel your bubbly presence, and smell your own fragance. But I can’t, why did you left me, Aome? Didn’t I promise to come back? Didn’t you promise to wait? Didn’t we both promise that,

You & Me is forever?

“Jay, let’s race to heaven. I want to see if there are apples there.”

“No, I got a better idea,” I insisted, leaning closer to your sleeping face. “Let’s go together.”

“But, Jay, time is ticking… the angels are waiting…”

You mumbled as you fell on the pillows. From then, I noticed the changes in you. You forget everything, even where our school is. I should’ve demanded the answer out of you- but I can’t. I’m far too chicken to know what’s wrong with you. I wanted you to stay the same- the face, the personality, the voice, the smell. So I didn’t ask. But I wish I did. If I could turn back time, I would bring it back to where the day we first met. And then, I’ll treasure every moment- every single drop of them. But I can’t, you know, cause I’m not a god nor I’m fate.

So, how would you know when you’re in love?

You’ll just know- and everyone around you could tell as well.

Aome, tell me, have you seen your apples? Are they sweet? Are they bitter? Are they red? Are they green? Tell me, Aome. Tell me something. Tell me that,

There will always be Y O U & M E.

Q&A

What the hell is this?!

This is, actually, a ‘boy version’ or what I like to call a ‘sequel’ to my other one-shot called Once There Was You & Me. The ‘girl’/Aome died from Alzheimer’s disease. She thought the moment she leave earth, ‘You & Me’ will leave as well. But ‘boy’/Jay think the other, You & Me will IS forever. Lame? Haha

What does ‘apple’ symbolizes in your story?

Hmm, apples are like a universal fruit, so I used it. To represent their love, Stories can end sweet with the rolling curtain, it may also end bitter with the screen fading black. But theirs is bitter sweet- or so I think and tried to portray.

Aome = Apple Of My Eye.

What is ‘Because if that day where I saw you unconscious were just one normal day, I would be dead by now- and so will you.’? What happened?

The day they met, Jay/boy was supposedly trying to commit suicide by lying in the middle of the road and get squished by a truck or something. While Aome/girl fainted, forgetting to take medicine as said on the first one-shot, if she stayed in the rain the whole night, she’ll die. Cause, DUH! We’re humans, people!

Why did you DARE write another such crappy scrabbles?

Sorry TT^TT can’t help it.

Remember, VOTE&COMMENTS ARE LOVED.
