Author's notes: hey y'all! Just wanna warn you that this is a tragic love story, if you dont wanna cry or be sad then please read another one. To all that wants to continue please enjoy♡
I have a bestfriend, her name's April and we've been together since we were kids. We'd do everything together, from getting in trouble to skipping classes.
"C'mon Jax! You're always taking so long to wake up! Get uupppp!!!"
She then pushed me to the ground.
"Ouch! Fine im awake!"
"get ready or I'll leave you"
She's been very bossy to me ever since we were young, even in highschool she still like to boss me around.
[After they arrived at school]
"hey April look! Its Leah, you should be more like her. She's really kind and-"
Before i could speak another word she pushed me and then walked away.
"okay April, im sorryyy!!"
We are always like this, sometimes were friends but a few seconds later were back to being enemies again.
"hey Jax, tell me.. What are your preference for girls?"
I choked my food and laughed.
"why would you say that April.. Could it be.. You're interested in me?"
"hey! What the heck! Thats gross!!"
I then laughed.
"hmmm, someone who's probably like Leah?"
She suddenly slamed her utensils on the table and murmured to herself.
"Leah.. Its always her that comes out of your mouth..."
"hm? What did you say?"
She then looked at me and said before walking away.
"humph! Its nothing! If you like her so much then why dont you just date her?!"
I said to myself "whats wrong with her? Always getting mad whenever i talk about Leah infront of her"
[Days passed]
"hey Jax, prom's coming up. Who are you going with?"
"hmmm, i never really thought about it yet..."
"yeah yeah, mr. Popular"
She blushed and said.
"i-if you dont have a partner to go with then just know that i could g-"
Leah interrupted her and said.
"hey Jax! Do you wanna go to prom with me?"
"sure!"
"cool, I'll text you my address. Pick me up okay?"
"yeah sure"
I then looked to April and said.
"sooo, what were you about to say?"
With a disappointed and sad look she said.
"nevermind."
"April, why are you so down? You were just so excited a moment ago"
I pulled her hand... And i.. Probably shouldn't have done that.. As i pulled her hand i saw her face, it was red and her she was trembling.
Infront of me wasnt an angry April.. But rather, she was crying..
"L-let go..."
I freezed for a second and let go of her hand quickly after i got back to my senses.
As she ran. I was wondering to myself "why..why was she crying? Was it because of me..?"
That night i couldnt sleep at all, not because Leah asked me to dance but because my whole life I've never seen April cry so hard.
As days passed she started to ignore me, i tried to talk to her multiple times but she doesnt let me. She either makes an excuse or pretends to do something.
I made up my mind, I'll talk to her at prom. I'll make a chance where there is only two of us together, where we can talk one on one.
[The day of the prom]
I wore a black suit and went to Leah's place. She was waiting for me outside of her house. After we went to the destination i told Leah i have something to go to real quick and went out to look for April.
I couldnt find her no matter where i go. It falt as if she was hiding from me.
After i went back Leah was waiting for me.
"Jax, will you dance with me?"
I couldn't find April anywhere so i just decided to have fun and find her later.
"sure"
While we were dancing, my eyes immediatly looked somewhere, its as if it already found what its looking for.
The person i first looked at was April who's about to cry at any moment.
She then goes out.
I immediately told Leah.
"Leah im sorry i-"
She immeditaly said.
"chase after her, i know that you were looking for her.. Right? Go and make up.. I'll be waiting"
I nodded and went outside.
Leah murmured to herself
"haa~... If only i was closer to you.. I could've been your number one... But your heart... It doesnt belong to me in the first place.. I know that you've only been looking at her all this years.."
[outside at the balcony]
"April i..."
"..." she didn't said a word.
"April im sorry.. If i hurted you..."
" dont say sorry... Because.. none of this was your fault in the first place.. This was all my fault.."
She then smiled.
"April i-"
Before i could speak another word, she started breathing heavily, she then fell and looks like have a hard time breathing, she then started to look pale.
"A-April! S-someone help!"
A teacher came and called for an ambulance immediately after seeing what happened.
We then went to the hospital.
The atmosphere seems lifeless and cold. Everything looks dark and sad.
Suddenly, her parents came.
"Jax, Jax how's my daughter?!"
She was panicking and is being comforted by her husband.
"the doctor hasnt come out yet aunty.."
Suddenly the doctor went out of the room.
Her mom yelled "Doc, doc how's my daughter doing?! Is she alright?"
The doctor turned his head down and said.
"you may come inside, but one by one only"
Her parents went in first, after a few minutes they went out of the room.
Her mother was crying, her father then patted me on the back and said.
"you may come in now."
When i came inside i saw a pale April, she looks lime she couldn't even move anymore.. This wasnt the April i saw just a moment ago.. Where did that April go?? She looks so healthy back then so why...
Countless questions began to pop out of my mind but for sone reason i couldnt say anything to her, not even a single word.
She held my hand and said.
"im sorry.. Im really sorry Jax...I-"
Her grip started to loosen bit by bit.
"April.. April stay strong.. I beg you please sytay strong!"
She shaked her head and tears began to come out of her eyes.
The hand she used to held me has an envelpoe in it.
I grabbed it.
Before i could say another word, her heartbeat was starting to weaken and the doctor and nurses start to come in to immediately treat her.
While i was outside of her room, i read her letter.
" Dear Jax.
This is April from 6 months ago writing this letter for the future, i want to give this to you when i feek like its the right time.. I want to tell you that ove been diagnosed with heart failure, they say that it was severe and may not be able to be treated. I just wanna say that i.. I have always and will always will love you. I couldnt say it because im too shy but I've always liked you ever since we were young, you were always kind to me and would be there for me whenever i have problems and thats probably the reason why i slowly started to fall for you.. But us being together forever.. Will never happen.. The doctor said that i might not be able to live for long so please.. If i go please forget about me.. I dont want you to be hurt.. But always remember that I'll always be with you no matter what pain your in, I'll always be by your side whenever you're crying. I wish i could be wish you longer but.. Im sorry.. I will say it once more.. I love you with all my heart, Jax
-sincerely, Your dear friend April"
All of a sudden tears began to fell, my heart hurts and i couldnt stop the pain im feeling... April, April I've always loved you too.. Eversince i met you.. i was just ignorant of my feelings.. Im sorry..
The doctor then went out of her room.
He shaked his head and didnt say another word.
I immediately went to go to April's room. But what was infront of me wasnt her but.. A lifeless body.
I held her cold lifeless hand which grabbed onto me just a few minutes ago and cried with all my heart.
"April.. April I've always loved you also.. Im sorry" i said while sobbing.
A few years has passed since then and im already in college, April do you know? Its as your name iplies.. Its also April today. I still hope that one day, we'll meet again.. On the other side.
As i was walking i could feel a warm thing hugging me.. If that is you April.. Thank you for everything..
"I love you."
[the end.]
Moral of the story: never be afraid to say anything to the person you like or love because you'll never know when that person will go and you'll never see them anymore.
