Just forget me. It's for the best....
Those words...those simple words caught me and I couldn't help but let the tears fall. Forget her? How? She had been there with me since childhood, since the first day we went to school together. We've done everything together, everything, and now she's asking me to forget her? It's....it's just impossible. I...I love her.
I feel the cold rain on my skin, causing goosebumps to form. I only ignore it as I stare down at the rushing waters beneath me. The current's strong, the winds pushing it. The waves splash upwards, as if reaching for me, luring me in. I want to jump, I want to, but....her face appears in my head and I can't will my legs to move.
She's gone. She has already moved to Los Angeles and left me here, alone. I will never see her again. She doesn't want to see me. So what else do I have left? If I do not have love, then what? I have no family. They don't care. I have no friends. Nothing. She was the only thing in my life that kept me alive, and now that she isn't here.....I can't go on.
I take a breath and step forward, her face reappearing before my eyes once again. Her soft brown hair flowing in the wind, her pale flawless skin shining with the sun, her deep blue eyes sparkling. A sweet smile is on her face, her arms outstretched to me. I reach for her, taking another step. I feel warm as she's so close.
"I love you...." I go to jump, but something calls to my name. It's faint, but I still hear it and it makes my legs stop.
"Jacob!" It's there again, but louder. She disappears from my sight and the river below reappears, teh crashing waves seem closer. I step back and the voice is finally clear. "Jacob!" I turn, not believing it's her, but as I look up, she is there. I nearly break down at the mere sight, wondering if God's playing a cruel joke on me or if she's actually really there. The tears on her face prove that and she comes running towards me. Though the pain reawakens, I reach out. She stops confused.
"Jacob..."
"No." I can't do it. The pain's too much. "You want me to forget you. So I am." I look back down to the water and gulp.
"Jacob, please don't!" she begs. I look up and she's on her knees. My heart pains to see her like this, but....
"Why did you leave? Why did you tell me to forget you? Why?"
"I thought it would be for the best. I knew that I wouldn't be able to stay and I knew that we couldn't have been together while being apart."
"You couldn't resisted. You could've left and came to live with me." Her tears fall faster and I can feel my own gliding down. "Brittany, I love you." She looks up, eyes wide. I take a deep breath and repeat, "I love you. I would do anything for you, but since you've requested that I forget you....then I must obey." I turn around and take a step forward, feeling my body being pushed down towards the waves, but then something catches me and pulls me back.
"No! I can't let you! I won't! I love you too much, Jacob Buller, and I won't let you die!" My tears quickly turn from sadness to pure joy. I turn to her, her eyes red from the tears. She's holding on to me tightly as if holding on for dear life. I quickly wrap my arms around her, returning the hug.
"I have waited so long to hear you say those words," I whisper, a smile forming. I pull back and cup her chin, lifting her up to me. I then place my lips against hers, kissing her gently, my smile widening as I feel her returning the kiss.
We stand there, in the rain, embraced in each other's arms, and I finally feel whole again. She had said to forget her, but
