• The last time I ever saw her was the day I told her that I loved her. I'll never forget it. That look in her eyes when the words left my lips. I wonder if she still remembers. God I miss her...

    It started on that one fateful Winter morning. The snow was gently falling, covering the many houses and trees which lined the streets. School had just gotten out, and everyone was rushing home to get to their warm fireplaces and hot chocolates.

    As I made my way home that day, I saw her. She was beautiful. That girl from 2-A. Her long black hair gently bounced as she walked, slightly covering the pink backpack she had worn since I first saw her in elementary school. I couldn't keep my eyes off of her. The snow falling around her only strengthened the beauty which just radiated off of her. Oh how I wanted to call out to her. For her to turn around so that I could see her perfect face. The cute dimples on her cheeks as she smiled...

    But before I could, one of the boys in my class, one of the troublemakers walked up next to her. 'What's he doing?' I thought. 'Is he going to harass her?' And before I knew it, they were holding hands.

    I almost died that day...

    To see her with such a jerk...


    I watched them everyday at school, sitting together at lunch, laughing and kissing. I could only watch in horror as the only girl I'd ever had feelings get taken away by that jerk in my class.

    Every night I cried myself to sleep...

    It was as if someone had ripped apart my heart. I prayed to god to kill me, instead of having me suffer through the pain of watching them together... But he just wouldn't...

    Now I know why...


    The months went by, and soon enough, Summer had come, and school had let out. Most people went to the beach or out camping with their families. But not me. No... Not while she was still with him...

    I saw them everywhere I went. The mall. The park.... even the movie theater...

    The pain almost grew to a point where I didn't want to live anymore.

    I started to abuse myself... Cuts to the wrist, and writing suicide notes...

    One night I finally told myself I was going to do it... I was going to commit suicide...

    I left a note on my bedroom door, and grabbed my jacket to go out in the cold... I decided to go to the park and see if I couldn't hang myself near the river where no one would find me...

    On my way there, I thought to myself the whole way of what it would feel like... I wondered if I would die instantly, or go through a painful struggle...

    Suddenly, I heard a muffled scream. At first I paid no attention, but after a while, I decided to look...

    And then I saw them...

    That girl, and the boy...

    He had his hands around her throat... I didn't know what to do. I stood there in shock, my mouth wide open when suddenly he looked up at me. The boy saw me, and pulled a knife...

    He lunged at me, and I blacked out for a second. Next thing I remember was the sharp pain in my stomach. I looked at the boy, and his eyes were wide with shock. His mouth hung open... he was scared...

    At first I didn't know why, but when I finally felt something warm run down my stomach, and saw the red stain in the moonlight, I knew what had happened...

    The boy quickly fled, but the girl rushed to catch me as I fell. I saw her face...

    I reached up to touch her soft cheek. As I did, I could feel tears build up in my eyes. This was the girl I wanted to spend my life with... The girl I was going to kill myself over... and she was right there. Holding me in her gentle arms...

    Tears ran down my cheeks, and my vision blurred...

    "I love you..." I whispered softly as I could feel the pain in my stomach grow more, and I began to feel faint.

    I saw her mouth open as if she was about to say something, but before I knew it, I was blinded by a light.



    Do you remember...?


    Because I do...


    ... And as long as you remember, I'll keep you safe...


    And watch over you...


    ...Because I love you...
