Forever, Paradise

PROLOGUE

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO RISK FOR LOVE?

For my Paradise,

thank you for the joy because it inspired me and thank you for the pain because it made me stronger.

Wazzup guys, join me as I venture my first journey here in Wattpad showcasing my first ever work. I'm more of a ghost writer actually. But I just woke up one day, deciding to show my passion to everyone. So please people, be good to me.

Still on process. No hate just love <3

Enjoy!!!

Fun fact: Some of the events in the story were based on real encounters.

********************************************************************

He was standing right next to me and I could see a clear view of his eyes. They were half-closed. He was on the verge of crying. He was wearing an unfathomable emotion. An emotion that I have never seen before.

"You deserve someone better."

Those were the exact words that came out from his mouth, hitting straight to my face. If it was a battle of weapons, I'd probably die carrying nothing but the questions that have stunned me up until this time. I was gobsmaked and didn't know what to respond.

"We tried. I'm sorry, but this isn't working out anymore. You shouldn't be with me. We shouldnt be togeth- "

"Why? No. We can have this figured out. Whatever it is, it's never too late."

He was carrying a black handbag and a Herschel backpack. He was even wearing the shirt I gave him last Valentines. I waited for a more reasonable response, but silence then came tangling across the atmosphere. He was still standing on the same spot, head down, and still contemplating on what to say. I breathe heavily as I took a seat, but he suddenly turned his back on me. I approached him, grabbed his arms abruptly, and hugged him tightly at his back but in a split second, a thought came crashing my mind that everything was just all in my head. My feet were glued to the floor and my heart was racing with my mind. It was beating so fast. I wish I had done anything rather than watch him walk away while tears are raining down my cheeks unconsciously leaving nothing but the memories we have shared and a scar in my heart.

I headed my way back to my room as I calmed myself down, thinking the slightest possibility that he still might come back. He had left some of his belongings including some of his papers from work, some clothes, and even the notepad, where we both write down and share our writings together in it. I took the oakwood covered notepad from the table and opened it.

To Our Spectacular Now..., it says, I don't want it to stop.

And as I continued to scan the pages, a folded uncoated letter fell. I reached down to grab the letter and it was already half-open. And as I took it, Paradises handwriting enthralled me.

Dearest Alex,

The shittiest guy is about to do the shittiest thing and he knows that he'll have to regret it for the rest of his life. This may sound unforgivable, but I want you to know that whatever his reasons are, it's for the most valuable person in his life - you. I may not have warned you about this but if you're reading this now, I'm assuming that I have done it already. I have left you. Not my proudest moment, I know. I'm not a huge fan of fairytales and happy endings, you know that, but the very first time I saw you, my whole world stopped. It was like as if we were stuck in this upturned hourglass where time moves gradually. And in every drip of sand it makes, all else in my life gets blurry. A big surreal blur. And you became the only focal point in it. I'll never forget that. I'll never forget you, Alex. You have the smelliest flatulence whenever you fart, but I guess I'll start practicing myself not to miss it. You deserve not just a constellation of stars, but the whole cosmos. I have had the best days of my life when I was with you. And even if it hurts, I'll spend the rest of it being here for you for someone else. I love you and I always will.

Forever, Paradise
