Still, I Love You

Chapter 1

I never expected to fall in love with you.

It just kind of … happened.

I thought my future in love would be ideal.

I’d fall in love with the perfect guy, and get married and have 2.4 children and live life as a housewife. Every day, you’d come home and we would be perfect and loving. Every day would be perfect.

That was a young girl’s naiveté. Life isn’t a shoujou manga, I suppose.

After that happened, I realized …

Nothing in this world is ideal.

Nothing in this world is perfect.

Even so … I still love you.

“Tokyo’s skyline is always so pretty, isn’t it?” The words rang out in my empty apartment.

I was talking to myself again…

I should call you and ask you what you are doing. I always like to hear your voice, its cheer never failing to lift my spirits and make me feel on top of the world.

Snatching up my cell phone from the kitchen counter, my fingers quickly traced their route over the well-worn keypad. As I grasped the rhinestone encrusted plastic, I wondered how you would respond.

“Hello?”

“Hi!” You sounded a little out of breath, but I thought nothing of it. I was glad to hear your voice, speaking to me and only me. Or so I had thought.

I laugh at how foolish I was that day.

“What are you doing?”

“Wait one second…” You put the phone down, although I could still make out what you were saying. ‘Not now … I’m on the phone! Wait!’ You mumbled to the person beside you in a hushed tone.

“Are you busy? I could call back later …” I heard laughter in the background. Had I called at a bad time, intruding on your time? Would you tell me to hang up, choosing your unknown visitor over me? My chest tightened as the thought ran through my mind. You were supposed to be my best friend …

“No, its fine.” You sound distant, like I don’t have all of your attention.

“If you say so … I’m really bored. Did you want to go for ice cream or something like that?” I hoped you would accept my request, you seemed a little distant from me recently.

“Ah…” You let out a soft moan and I almost dropped the phone on the kitchen floor, in my surprise. “I think … now’s not a good time. I’m a little pre…occupied.”

“Oh …” I bit my lip to keep a possessive statement behind my lips. “That’s okay then, another time?”

“Yeah … sorry.” You didn’t sound sorry at all. Did you just want me off of the phone?

“It’s alright.” I should let you be happy, I suppose …

Before you could reply, a deeper and rougher voice sounded from the speaker. “Sorry, she’s a little busy right now. Maybe you could call back later? Thanks.” The phone beeped to signal the end of the call.

The plastic mobile device clattered to the floor. You had never done something like that to me before … It hurt.

Am I just an annoyance to you? Someone that’s always just … conveniently there?

You broke my heart, that day. Even so … I still love you.

Still, I Love You

Chapter 2

I should have seen this coming. Then, maybe, I wouldn’t have been hurt so much.

But I loved you, so much. I still do …

I don’t think I can ever stop.

***

I stared into the mirror of the bathroom, eyes scrutinizing my visage. Heavy bags hung under my eyes, my skin pale. I wasn’t sleeping properly … that phone conversation we had a few days ago is constantly replaying itself in my head.

You were always on my mind … did you ever realize how much I really loved you?

I sighed to myself. I missed you, but I was too scared to tell you. I wished you would call me, but I was sure you didn’t want me anymore. You had your new friend now, didn’t you?

Suddenly, my cell phone rang.

I stared at it dumbly, for a few seconds. Would my wish, just made moments ago, be suddenly answered?

Without even checking the display screen at the front, my trembling fingers flipped open my phone, skidding slightly on the plastic stones that littered the front cover.

“Hello?” My voice trembled slightly, and my stomach fluttered. Would it be you?

There was a slight pause, and I felt the blood rush pound, in my ear. The person on the other side started speaking …

“Look … I’m sorry about that phone conversation …” Your apologetic tone was so clear to me, and I was so happy that you still saw me as a friend, as someone worth talking to.

“It’s alright, really!” I was smiling so broadly, that I was afraid my face was going to break. But, you apologized! You still wanted me!

You played around with my emotions, putting them up and down as you pleased.

“I can feel your smile through the phone.” Your laughter is one of the most beautiful sounds in my day. I want to hear you laugh everyday …

“Because you make me happy!” I answered you honestly, baring my heart out to you.

“You’re so cute! I want to make it up to you, though, what happened that day.” You really are sincere. Your eagerness to make up with me … you really did want me as your friend. I’m … I can’t describe this feeling.

“It’s alright, you don’t have to.” But … are you just saying that? Would you rather spend time with your friend from that day …?

“I want to. C’mon, you said you were bored that day.” You remembered! You remember …

“Okay!” A weight felt like it had dropped off of my shoulders. Everything could be okay between the two of us again.

“I’ll come over in about an hour?” No matter what time you said, I will meet the deadline. Because, you’re the one I love…

“Sounds good.” I’m a hundred percent sure my face is going to break from smiling so much. But, you make me so happy …

“I’ll see you in an hour!” You hung up the phone, and I felt like the top of the world. You and me, going to hang out, as best friends.

Although I can’t tell you how I feel … But right now, I think, this is enough. I don’t want to impose anything on you…

I’m such a lovesick fool, aren’t I?

[Director_Maiha]
