The Last Piece of a Broken Heart (ONE SHOT)

The last Piece of a Broken Heart

I SAT BESIDE YOU as I saw you sitting on a bench, facing the sea on the seaside. The view was good, because the sunset was always beautiful. But, right now, I couldn't appreciate how beautiful the view was. Because I feel like something is gonna go down just like as the sun goes down. I could not put my attention somewhere else, because this might be the last time I could look in your eyes. I looked at you sitting beside me, your head was so low and I get it why. I wanted you to look at me and say something. But a part of me does not want to hear those words that will come out from your mouth. I know you too well that even if you're not saying a word, I know how you feel, I know what you were thinking. I tried catching your eyes. And the moment our eyes met, a teardrop fall from my eye and all those memories we built flashed back in my mind:

Fifteen months ago, It was almost 12 midnight. I am sitting on the park's swing. I've been exhausted because everything that is happening is a failure. I've been hurted by everything that's happening to me. I kicked all the rocks and screamed so loud to ease this pain. Nobody will think that I am crazy because there is no more people around. Sure, I can cry, because no one will saw me. Well, that's what I thought.

"Why are you crying?"

I turned around to see who spoke at my back. There, I saw you. You were the boy from the other class section. Of course I know you. We both belong to the musical-arts club. But, we never talked. I don't even know if you know my name. We were never friends, nor stranger. I never expected that you are the person I will see in this kind of situation.

Somehow, I felt that I am not alone. Yes, you aren't doing anything that could comfort me. But, your presence is enough to think that I got somebody's shoulder right now. It sounds desperate but, I badly need somebody right now. And I didn't expect it to be you.

"Try me. I'm a good listener." You said and smiled.

It's funny when you cry more when someone's comforting you. But because of the overflowing feelings, I hugged you. You were shocked when I did it. But I am more shocked. I didn't expect myself to do things like that. Maybe because i'm so carried by my emotions.

'Sorry' is all I can say. 'It was fine' is what you replied. And I thank you for staying by myside that time. I'm really depressed that's why I told every single complain I have to a stranger. Well, not completely a stranger.

"I like your smile. Those smile I saw at school whenever I look at you. Please show it again to me. Now, stop crying." Those words that you said has powers that melted the madness in my heart. I feel like I wanted to smile for the rest of my life because I knew, there is someone who appreciates my smiles. Something popped up in my mind, were you always looking at me in school?

After that night, we started talking to each other. We've been friends and I am too comfortable beside you. You've been the full moon in my dark nights. You we're the only light and the only reason why I should keep on smiling. I keep on thinking, if I didn't met you that time, how does the rest of my days go on? 'Cause honestly, everything will never be fine without you. You tought me how to be brave, to keep my head held up high, to never give up and to be a better person. Now, I'm still thinking, How does my day go on without you?

"Jade, I think i'm already falling for you. I don't know when and why. It's just this one time when I looked at you, Everybody except you disappear in my sight, and every movements around, turned into a slow-mo. I don't know if you'll accept my heart, but Jade, I swear I already loved you."

That's what you told me exactly One year ago. It sends shiver all over my body. Thousands of butterflies started dancing in my tummy. It feels like i've been touched by hundred bolts of electricity that sends current in me. I don't know what to say. I'm not familiar in this kind of feeling.
