March Entry

The water was cold, I took a deep breath and jumped into the sea.

The dark water engulfed my body and its coldness numbed my senses.

I came out of the it and gasped for air. The whole of my body shivered and the clothes, were sticking to it as if attached by glue.

I could feel goosebumps on my skin.

I inhaled as much air as I could and dived into the water again.

My eyes searched for her, they longed to see her smile which could light up the whole world.

My nose wanted to smell her strawberry blonde her and my ears, they wanted to hear her contagious laugh that could set anyone to giggles in no time.

I could not lose her. She was the only person I had and meant the world to me.

I held in my breath when I finally saw her. Her body was as still as the scum formed on stagnant water, yet she looked as beautiful as ever.

An angel drowning in the sea.

I clapsed her hands with my one hand and carefully caressed her face with the other.

Her eyes were closed. I would have sighed in relief  on seeing tiny bubbles near her mouth, if not for the breath I was holding. She was still alive.

I pulled her up with me, out of the water, fighting for the very last of the air that my lungs could provide.

The sunlight blinded my eyes, as they came out of the deep sea. I pulled her body on top of mine and held onto her hands, desperately swimming towards the shore.

On reaching there, I laid her down on the dry sand.

I blew air into her mouth through her chapped lips and tried to push the water out by pressing her chest.

Soon she was coughing out water. I was so glad to be able to save her, the love of my life, Bianca.

Gently and slowly her eyelids separated  from the skin and her eyes flashed open. She stared at the sky through her honey-brown orbs.

I helped her sit upright.

She looked so fragile,barely escaped from narrow death.

I looked directly into her warm and luscious eyes and asked her the one word that rolled off of my tongue easily, "Why?"

"I could not live with myself, Jake. Why didn't you let me die? I don't deserve someone like you" she replied with small tears glistering down her eyes.

"You do! In your love you do. You are perfect. It is me who doesn't deserve you insted Bianca" I was steaming, angry at her twisted reply.

"That is because you don't know what I did" she said and turned her face to the other direction.

"No, look at me" I turned her face back to me and held it firmly in my palms,"Look into my eyes and tell me what happened".

She shook her head adamantly

"Tell me" I repeated.

Her body shook under my stern gaze, nevertheless she voiced the four piercing words that stabbbed my heart, "I cheated on you".

My fingers fell from her face as my mind comprehending those words.

She cheated on me? How? Why? Did she not love me as much as I love her? Did she not care for me ?

"I che-eated o-on you" she repeated with sobs and turned away again.

"Who?" I asked. Rage was boiling through my blood.

"Evan" she replied hesitantly.

My nails dug into my palm. I felt the warmth of the blood that ozzed out,but could not see it.

All my eyes saw was anger and revenge.

She held my shoulders tightly trying to calm me down but I pushed her away. I looked in horror as she fell backwards, on the ground.

Fuck! Did I push her so hard?

"Hey, its ok Jake. I am fine. I anyway deserve much worse" she said slowly getting up.

"Please Jake. Don't hurt him. It was not his fault." She pleaded.

"You hated him Bianca.What has bastard done to you?" I asked flipping her cheeks over as if checking for something.

"I was always attracted to him Jake. And at that moment everything felt right. I thought that I had fallen for him. We were perfect for each other. Everything was like a fairytale come true."

"Thought? Were? The love, your sense of right, faded? Just like ours?" I asked bitterly.

"He dumped me" she answered in an extremely low voice. Her eyes her sunk in shame looking at the ground.

"He What?" It took a whole minute to decipher her answer.

"I am the culpable one. Don't blame him. It was me who fell for his charms. Not only did I lose him but I also lost the one boy who loved me selflessly, you."

"And you still want to protect that bitch" I voiced in a way that screamed unbelievable. I laughed at the words I had just spoken.

Has she gone blind? She wants to protect the guy who in the end bloody dumped her ?!

"Jake, Listen to me. Ok! I can explain what I-" she started.

"Save it Bianca." I retroted.

"You know what? It was not you but me who was blind. You used me Bianca."

"I did not us-se you Ja-ako"

"Don't Jako me!" I was furious.

"You promised, if not to be with me forever then to atleast love and care for me forever. It was our always.

"Bianca, you know promises are worse than lies. Because you just don't make them believe, but you make them hope.
I wish I would have realised that earlier.

I wish would have not trusted the girl who flicked her hair, that always struck out, whenever she was irritated.

I wish I would not have laughed everytime the girl tried to punch me and failed miserably.

I wish I would not have liked the way her lips twitched forming an oval whenever she yawned.

I wish I would not have dreamily stared at her whenever I got the chance.

I wish I would not have climbed onto her balcony every year,on her birthday, just to be the first one to wish her.

I wish I would not have spent every night dreaming about the girl."

I laughed as I recalled each memory that we had made together.

Haha ! Silly me! There had never been any together. It was just a big fat lie.

I was alone in this fake world. Everyone was.

"I wish I would have never met you, Bianca Dorothy. However I don't regret saving you"
