Amnesia

Chapter 8- Will You Be My Forever?

The time has come, I still remember the day I Asked her if she wanted to be my "forever"

A week before her birthday I really wanted to ask her if she would be my girlfriend and it went a little something like this.

"Umm, Jewel, I know its been a while now and we've become so much closer and I wanted to ask you one question, just one?" I asked.

"What is it Mike?"

"I know its almost your birthday but I cant stand to wait, I really need to ask you already, Jewel, you've been my princess ever since the day we became close and I too were your prince but can we turn that into reality? Can we make it real this time? Jewel, ever since I laid my eyes on you I kept in mind, what if you were the one? What if you were the one to complete me? To complete the puzzle in my heart. Jewel, will you be my forever? My princess? My girlfriend?" I explained my point really clearly.

"Mike, I-Im so sorry." And she looked down

"Why are you sorry, Jewel? I just need your answer."

"I-I rather treat you as my big brother, you protect me just like a brother, you're always there for me in certain times I hope you can understand."

"Thats fine, but I just wanna would there be any chance that I would be y-your?"

"I don't think so, Im sorry, I hope this doesn't affect our friendship." She answered.

"I see at least I got to tell you how I feel about you Jewel, i might as well just move on."

She just left after then.

And it ends, my dream was crushed after hearing what she had told me, and that was worse than the false news that happened before, it felt like 10 times more painful than that day.

Its been 2 months after I asked her and we haven't talked at all. Nope. Every time our eyes meet, she would break the moment and look away.

I guess she had moved on after what happened, what I told her.

Everything. Even when Christmas came, I didn't receive any "Merry Christmas" or a "Happy New Year" or even a "Hello" from her!!

She was happy with her friends, she didn't need me after all. She could actually stand alone without my help or and support. Like I was just food that expired after days without being eaten. I'm nothing to her. And it was clear.

I too found a new friend around the school her name was Isabel, she was beautiful as the sky at sunset.

She was the perfect one.

We were okay with each other but to be honest she reminds me of, its hard to say her name when I haven't seen her in so long, but she was much more better t-than, Jewel.

I even gave her my favorite nickname. I called her "Pookie", it rhymes with cookie and I like cookies, thats why.

I bet you know where this is going, but, no, Pookie has her boyfriend! And Id rather be her best friend and I sometimes comfort her whenever they have arguments.

For short, Im always there for her too.

"Hey Mike?" Isabel asked

"What is it, Pookie?" I answered

"If Pete and I ever broke up what would you do?

"Id be right there to support you no matter how painful it is, besides your my Pookie, I cant stand to see my Pookie crying"

"Awww thanks Mike" Isabel said.
