On that peaceful starry night, the eerie darkness of the sky begins to surround me. I was alone in my room, reading a romance novel "Le Grand Meaulnes". As I was immersed in the heart-touching story, a strange sound can be heard. BANG. Surprised, I quickly went down the stairs and checked the front door of my house.
I hesitated for a bit, and opened the door handle. A tall and hansome-looking man with broad shoulders stared at me with a bright smile, and his eyes were sparkling under the starry night sky. He was wearing an all-black suit, and his hair all tidy, just like how men will dress for a special occasion. "Hi, avy" he said with a deep and sexy voice, making my heart skip a beat. "I could listen to it all day", that thought came to my mind.
Yes, it was Vincent. He had been my childhood sweetheart since we were 3 years old. And until now, we have been dating for 5 years. He was the only person who would call me Avy, others will just call me Ave. I actually liked the way he called me Avy, it just makes me feel special to him.
"Vin, it's almost 12 o'clock midnight, what are you doing here this late?", I asked, worried.
He stayed silence for a while...
"Aren't you happy to see me?" He asked me with a smirk on his face.
"Hahahahaa" I just replied with a laugh, meaning, of course I am glad to see him.
We went inside the house and went up the rooftop. As always, the rooftop has always been our special place, just for the two of us. We held hands together and gazed at the stars glimmering in the night sky. They lighten up the dark night, just like how Vin had lighten up my life. He was one of the people I am grateful for.
"Love you"
A whisper can he heard from my right ear, coming from Vin.
"Huh?" I asked him with confusion. People might have think that it was normal for couples to say "I love you" everytime. But no, for the past 5 years, we have never said those 3 words to each other. Maybe it was because we wanted to say that phrase for a further serious moment.
"I love you, Avy."
He said that again, with a much clearer voice and his look full of sincerity.
"I love you too, Vin, forever, and after" I said that with a smile back at him, feeling both shy and happy.
.......
Vincent didn't say anything. He just smiled. However, I couldn't understand the meaning of that smile. It can have many meanings, worry, happiness, fear, anger, excite, but I couldn't understand what it means.
"I have to go." He said in a hurry.
"But you just came." I told him
"I don't have much time, Avy" He said that with anxiety and I could feel that he was nervous.
"Fine..." I said, with a sigh. Maybe he needs to go to a meeting with the board of directors, as he is the CEO of the company, with much responsibility to have.
After Vin had gone from my house, my phone ringed. "Vin's mom". I picked the phone and asked politely, "Yes, aunt?"
......
A sobbing woman can be heard.
"Ave.. Vin....is..."
"Vin? He just came a while ago. What's wrong?"
"An hour ago, Vincent was involved in a car accident, and now he... his body was found."
Dub.
My heart stopped beating for a second. I couldn't believe what I just heard. I quickly rushed and get my coat, running to the hospital with my bare feet.
Bare footed, my feet was bleeding, injuries all over.
I arrived at the hospital, and saw, a body, covered in white cloth, laying down. I opened the cloth with my hands trembling, and feet shaking. I opened it, and there, was Vincent.
Shocked, I fall to the ground and tears start falling down from my eyes. Painful. Not because of the injuries on my foot, my heart was painful. It felt like thousands of knife had stabbed my heart, breaking it to pieces.
I just understand what his sudden visit means, it was his last goodbye. It was his soul, meeting me for the last time, just to say those 3 words, "I love you".
I would never forget him, my first love, my first friend, my everything.
