Short story series:Sacrfices made for love

From the beginning I already knew one day you two would still meet. The day after she left without a trace, you were restless, you look every nook and cranny in the city just to find your love like you don't care even if you search the world as long as there is assurance that you'll find her. I only was there for you when you were in your saddest times but I know that's different from true love. You just love-- no you didn't, you just had to pay back what I did for you as thank you for staying by your side during those times. It was my fault that it got beyond that, I became ambitious, thinking that you don't need her anymore, From the start I treated you only as a brother but now, I just hate seeing you like this and like I kinda hate her for suddenly just leaving you here without telling you the reason why she would leave you and came the day you called back. You don't know how much worried he was but even beyond that I can't tell that he is overjoyed only by hearing your voice and that really shows how much he loved you. Just like that the smile on his face went away, happiness turns to sadness, tears of joy turning to years of pain. As you told him that you will never and that you were sorry, it looked though to me as if a part of his hear was taken from him by force. He didn't know what to do without you. After the call that's where I shone. I would always visit him everyday only to see him devastated and crying on his bed. From Monday to Saturday I always came by to visit you and cheer you up. It even got to the point where I would start to lose hope that you'll forget her. Then one day I visited you like always but something wasn't right, when I opened the door I saw you pointing a pistol to your head. I rushed in to you and pushed the gun away as far from you. "What were you thinking? What would your family think when they learn about this?" "I have nothing" he said in a faint voice "What?" " he holds my arms and shouts "I have nothing left!" I was shocked at him saying that, I didn't know the words to say to you. You stopped shouting when you noticed that I was disturbed. "Sorry,  I'm really sorry please forgive me, I won't do it again" he hugged me to cheer me up. After that incident he change ever so slightly every day. Day after day it seems that he already forgot you but I disagree. There are times that I will see him starring at his phone for no apparent reason it's as if you expect a call from her. You spend your weekends out on the park where the two of you first met. Even in your dreams you search for her. You made t look like you changed but you never did instead you face as with this mask of yours only to hide the pain you feel. After 6 years of waiting I couldn't keep it in me. I had to tell you that I was falling for you. When I did you looked at me as though I was making a sarcastic joke. I didn't want to make it sound cliché and pushy so I just hugged you after telling you this but you accepted me even though my weak confession. The 4 years we were together would always be a big part of my life. I learned a lot from you and really enjoyed your company and when you proposed to me it came as a shocker. I really didn't know if I could have a life where I'll see you still desperately waiting for her. I somehow thought that maybe while were together you'll forget and that I'll be enough for you but no, when the day I heard that you found her I was worried will you take him away from me, will you hurt him again. Instead I saw him so filled with joy that he hardly could contain himself but he never tried to confront you or call you because he thought you would avoid him again. So when the time of our wedding came and he sent the invitation to you. He was once again restless but in a good way now and from then on I knew I had to cancel the wedding. I knew she'll be the one to complete you and be there forever in your side so I had to make the ultimate sacrifice for you my love I love you and I know this is the only way for you to be truly free and happy. I just hope that there is a place for me in your heart.

"We force ourselves in to place we were really never meant to be in, to others it may seemed like you took advantage of his weaknesses but in true you were there when no one was there for him, You loved him even though he loved someone else, It's hard but sometimes it is true that when you really love a person, you really have to let them go"
