I Love You

Here goes another story...not so much of good writing but this story was written when I was bored, staring blankly at my comp's screen and I started typing...suddenly the word 'love' just came to mind...broken hearts n love...hmm

David sat down on the couch in the hall. He had been talking to Sally on the phone a few minutes ago.And they’ve just call it off. Somehow,he was quite relieved because he felt like he had no more feelings for her. Breaking up was the best thing he could’ve done.He knew he was wrong but there’s really nothing else between them anymore. David hoped that Sally would be all right with that decision.She seemed so.
Then, Simon came knocking on his bedroom’s door.Simon was his best friend and that’s why they were living together in an rented apartment.
“So,Dave,have you talked to her?,”Simon asked.”Yea,I did.We’ve broken up,” Simon was a little shocked. While taking a beer from the refrigerator,he handed Dave one and said “That’s it?Just that?” Dave nodded. He explained that he himself never thought things would cleared up so fast.”Well,it is better for me to tell now rather than I hurt her more in the future”
They watched a game of football on the television and Simon went to sleep at 12.30 in the morning. David went out to the nearby café and had a cup of coffee. While he was sitting there,wondering to himself,he saw Sally opposite the road. He wanted to call her but later decided not to.What if she’s upset or angry with him? However,much to his surprise,Sally walked towards him,said hello and asked if she could sit down.”Yea,sure.”he replied.
“I’ve counted,”said Sally,trying to open up a conversation. David wasn’t really listening “What?” Sally repeated “I’ve counted…..how many hours since we broke up. David felt a little uncomfortable,wanting to get what Sally really meant. She still liked him?Oh no…He leaned forward,not knowing what to think or say. After a while of silence,Sally spoke again “You didn’t quite explained.Did you?Just a plain break up.Why?Tell me,Dave”
David’s heart was racing fast. Now he need to tell the whole truth,completely.Why did she asked?!David calmed down and tried to relax. ”Ummm,just that it’s gone”She looked at him “What’s gone?” She wanted a clearer explanation. He sighed and replied “What’s in the heart,Sally.Gone” He assumed that she understood as she didn’t say a word after that. It was almost 2.00 a.m. ”It’s rather late.See ya” He stood up and left. Sally stared at him as he walked to his house.
Sally was really hurt,she knew David did not like her anymore. She thought maybe their relationship could be saved if only she cling on to him. But,she actually realised that there’s not a chance. David was serious when he said “What’s in the heart,Gone” She cried the whole night, life seemed meaningless without him. She loved him more than herselft. But David might not know that. What more could she do?She knew David,he wouldn’t say something that he’s unsure of. Which means this time,he’s really dumping her.
For the next few months,David never contacted her,but did met her at some places.He smiled to him and she smiled back. That’s all they did. David went on working as usual.He was a profesion in computer programming. One day,his colleague,Jones invited him to a barbecue party at the beach. ”Come on Dave,you need to chill a little,don’t get stuck to your work all the time!”David laughed,Jones was one of his good friends and he’s always cheering people up.”Alright,dude”
At the party,there was really a lot of people. David got down from his car and walked towards the beach. Jones came running to him and dragged him to the barbecue place. David saw a girl and she’s quite pretty. Her dressing was simple,a blue top,a pair of jeans and a cap.She looked really sweet.”Dave,this is Andrea,she’s my sister’s friend,”Jones introduced her.David was a socialise person and he had no problems at all to be friendly.So he spoke up”Hi Andrea,I’m David.”She smiled and shook hands with him.She had a very beautiful smile.
Soon after,they began keeping in touch with each other and David was simply amazed at her talents in skateboarding and riding the DMX bike. She’s actually a skateboarding instructor.On Sunday morning,David would go to the basketball court for a game with his friends. He was resting on the bench when somebody tapped him on the shoulder.”Hi,Dave” He turned around and saw it’s Andrea! “Andrea?What are you doing here?” “Watching a game of basketball” She told him that she’s interested to watch only,not playing. David smiled broadly and said “All right,you can watch me play then!” Andrea gave a little laugh “I’m pleased”
After the game, Andrea praised his good skills in playing the basketball. “I’ve practised for a long time,since I was a child.I love basketball,it’s like part of me. ”She then invited him to watch a skateboard competition tommorow night at 8.00 p.m. “Will you be able to come?,”she asked.”Of course I will,I’ll watch you skate!” Andrea was really excited because she’s looking forward to that. David offered to take Andrea home. ”Thanks for the lift,”she said.
It was 7.30 p.m.David said he would arrive at the competition at 7.00p.m But,he’s still not here yet. Andrea was anxious and worried at the same time. She kept thinking of all the possibilities that he would be late. Still,she waited on until 8.25p.m. Then she saw David’s car.Her heart was filled with joy and relieve. David quickly got down and rushed to her.”I’m so sorry I’m late!I’ve got a puntured tyre just now”
“It’s okay,as long as you come. I’m just getting started,but do hurry now,it’s going to be my turn”So they went together to the skating ring.
Andrea performed well and got first place. She was thrilled and so was him.”Congratulations,dear!You were awesome.”Andrea hugged him “Thank you,Dave.” Soon after,they started going out on dates very often and grew very fond of each other. They were already close friends then. On one particular date,David confessed to Andrea that he had fallen in love with her.”Andrea,I really like you,I hope we can be more than just friends.I’ve never had this feeling before.Only to you”
Of course Andrea agreed because she also liked him a lot and was always hoping that she could be with him. Time passed,and they became even closer and loved each other very much. ”I love you,Andrea.I really do. You were the first girl that had made such a great impact in my life.”David said to her one night.She smiled and replied back “I love you too,Dave,promise me that we won’t be separated” He promised. And at the same time,Dave was thinking of a happy marriage with her.But,he kept it as a secret and planned to surprise her with a wedding ring tommorow night.
One fine morning,Andrea wanted to take David to a place. David was curious because she didn’t say where they were going. Finally,they reached the place,it was a christian cemetery. The place was up the hill and the scenery there was breathtaking. ”Andrea,who are we going visit?” “My sister,my beloved sister” They went to her sister’s burial and when David saw the picture of her sister,he got the shock of his life!He was so surprised!
Why!That was Sally!Sally was Andrea’s sister and she was dead?David went pale and his knees went weak.”What’s wrong Dave?You suddenly looked so sick.” David put down his head and pretented nothing was happening.”Nothing,nothing…urm..that’s your sister?May I know how she died?” Andrea told him all about it.”She commited suicide because a guy dumped her,my sister loved that guy a lot but he never knew. He left her all alone” Andrea wept a little while she put the flowers on the grave. David’s heart was racing fast. Was that guy him?
“Have you ever seen that guy before?,”David asked.Andrea said no because Sally had burned all the photos of them together before she killed herself. ”I don’t know who is that guy,but I knew his name. What a coincidence. His name was David too.” David felt like he could have just fainted there and then!Sally commited suicide because of him and he fell in love with Andrea,her sister!Andrea continued “I hate that guy. He’s the one who had ruined all my sister’s happiness”
David felt as if a thunder had just striked him in the heart. What on earth would happen if Andrea found out that he’s the guy who caused her sister to die? He was about to propose to Andrea!But now?It will be ruined….He took Sally’s happiness and now his happiness was about to be taken away?”Dave,come on,we can go now,” David was stunned and still wondering to himself.”Dave?Dave!” He looked up.”Are you okay,Dave?,”David nodded hesitantly.
After fetching her home, he couldn’t stop thinking. He had just told Andrea that he won’t be able to go out with her tonight. And tonight was supposed to be a propose to Andrea. He was disappointed,hurt and guilty all at the same time. Whatever should he do? He drove his car as fast as he could.While he was speeding, a motorcycle was in front of him.When he tried to escape, he lost control of the car and went sideways. His car crashed into a lorry. Before he could do anything,his sight went completely dark.
David was hurt badly and was admitted to the emergency wad. He had to undergo an operation. Andrea rushed to the hospital as fast as she could after the doctor phoned her. She was waiting outside the emergency room and was really nervous. She kept praying that God would spared his life. Minutes later,David was taken to the room. The doctor said “Miss,we don’t know whether he will survive tonight. But if he do,he should be alright tommorow.We've done all we could. It depends on him now.” She sat beside David’s bed and tears began flowing on her cheeks. He was still in coma. She cried “Don’t leave me Dave,I love you too much to let you go.”
He opened his eyes.”Andrea?It’s okay,I’m here.Listen,I need to tell you something.”Andrea wiped her tears a little but couldn’t stop crying.”What is it,Dave?”
“I’m sorry Andrea…I dumped your sister,I was the guy…..i was the guy……”Andrea stared at him in disbelief. ”But trust me,Andrea.I only got to know yesterday when I saw your sister’s burial. I really love you and believe it,I never meant to hurt you” Forgive me please….i love you….i love you.”Andrea was still there, didn’t know what to say.But suddenly,all that didn’t matter to her anymore. She knew she loved this guy no matter what he had done.
“I forgive you!I forgive!Don’t leave me Dave!I love you!” Andrea pleaded to him.David smiled “Thanks Andrea….now..i..go…do take care…I LOVE YOU ANDREA”
David breathed his last and his last words remained still in Andrea’s heart “I LOVE YOU ANDREA” She then found the wedding ring….she cried and cried.She broke down and could only closed her eyes,knelt down and …….”I LOVE YOU DAVE”
