Remember Me, Mi Amore

28

"Anne! Wait! Gusto ata kita!"

The words that he said made me stopped from the tracks that I was taking. My foot froze in the middle of the house and was the place where that man was standing. My mouth dropped a long way to the floor, still not believing the words he said.

My mind cracked or broke or was gone. My heart went down, it cracked, broke or wasn't there at all. The butterflies on my stomach were cracked or broken or just a piece of illusion that was suddenly in there every time that man is there.

My fingers curled up to my palm that was crying. My chest goes up and down and my breathing suddenly became something hard to do.

The leaves that were supposed to be on the bushes in front of my house stopped swaying. They disappeared from my sight. The flowers that are beautiful in my sight stopped swaying or maybe just not in my sight anymore.

"Anne, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say that! Just please—"

He suddenly shouted across me. My foot that was frozen in one spot melted by his suddenly shouting. My neck was begging for me to look back but I fought what it was saying and ran towards my bedroom.

I closed the door to my room. I think I did that too hard because the banging that it did echo so loudly on the four corners of the room. When I was finally inside and twisted my doorknob onto lock mode, I rested my head and back there.

I bit the two sides of my cheek as my hand flew there. I could feel the burning of it! It was so hot! I could feel the redness that was creeping inside of it. What the heck? What the heck! I can't believe that he just confessed to me! It was out of nowhere!

He said he likes me! He said that he may like me! Even if it's just a maybe! I don't care! He still confessed to me! I got out from where I was seated and stood from my bed. There, I jumped and jumped while occasionally shouting that was muffled. I still can't believe it!

I know that that came out of nowhere. I know that he said he may be like me. But still though. There was the word like which still means there's a percentage that his statement was true. I jumped even higher because of that.

My reaction was very weird though. But what reaction could I have given him? I'm pretty sure that what I gave him was the only thing that was on the table. Well, that's what I think. People are different.

I stopped jumping because it was getting harder for me to breathe. I laid my back against the soft bed that was in my room. I stared at the ceiling and my hands touched where my heart was beating so fast.

When I was standing there, I thought my heart was gone. But here it is. Beating so fast than a cat running away from an enemy. I thought that my mind flew away or had gone into broken pieces because of the sudden information that it got fed on. But here it is. Thinking of Forsythe's sudden confession to me. I thought that the butterflies on my stomach disappeared out of nowhere or just maybe an illusion of my mind. But here it is. Flying freely into my heart as I lay in my bed with a very big smile painted all over my face.

I thought that all the leaves in our bushes disappeared. But it was there the whole time. The moment just stopped in my eyes but it didn't stop dancing with the wind. I thought that they disappeared out of nowhere, just gone into thin air. But it was just there. My eyes are just focused on something that has a more significant effect on my life. I thought that the beautiful flowers weren't there anymore. Turns out, they are here in my room. Showering me with the scene of what was the scene a few minutes back. They were here in my room where it smelled love. That's because love is in the air!
