"I'm sorry," she cried. "I can't do this anymore. It's me, you didn't do anything, I promise. I love you Jake."
She ran far away. And my heart broke.
What did I do wrong?
"I love you, Emily" I whispered.
I went home. Did I say something wrong? Did she lose the love she had? Was there someone else?
A Million thoughts ran through out my head.
I pick up my phone and look for 'Emily' and called.
Ring. Ring. Ring. Please left a message after the beep. Beep.
"Please Emily. I love you. I don't want to lose you. I don't know what to do without you. Come back. I miss you. I can't bare to lose you. Without you there is no more light. No more kisses. No more cuddles. No more hugs. No more laughs. I love you. Emily-"
Beep
Months went by and I called her everyday. I still have hope. I have hope of what we had. I still have hope of us.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
My phone vibrated right next to me. I picked it up to see the caller.
Emily
"Hello? Is this Jake?"
"Emily!-"
"Sorry Jake But this is Emily's mother. I wanted to inform you that Emily has passed away two hours ago. She had been diagnosed with cancer two years ago."
What? No. No not my Emily. This has to be a misunderstanding. This can't be. I loved her too much. She can't be... gone.
"No..." Tears fell.
"I'm sorry. Emily loved you very much."
"This can't be. I love her."
"She left you a message. It should be there."
I thanked her and ran to get the note.
How much have gotten through this together.
I look at the letter and take a deep breath.
Jake,
I love you very much. I didn't want to tell you this way. Without saying goodbye. I know this is hard for you, it was for me too. But I have been diagnosed with cancer. The doctors said that I won't be able to make it, that there was little chance. I couldn't bring myself to stay with you till that day. That's why I needed to let you go. Although I didn't want to. It was for the best. I couldn't see you hurt. I love you too much for that. Please Jake Promise me one thing. Move on. Go find someone that you make happy and they make you happy. Live your life. I don't want to be the one holding you back. I want the best for you. I love you Jake and always will. Bye Jake.
Love,
Emily
"I promise." Tears fall on the note.
You never know how much you loved that person till their gone.
I still miss the sound of your voice, the stories you told, the ring of your laugh and your presence that glowed. I will never forget you. You will be forever in my heart and no one will replace that.
