HAPPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE! =))
Wishing all LOVERS out there a very wonderful time!
And since I have no valentine to write about, I shall write a ficitional story.
"
Falling in love was easy.
Being loved was the hard part.
This, Stefie knew. She was happy to settle with the whole "Love-from-afar" kinda thing. It just took one look at those gorgeous grey eyes before she whole heartedly gave her heart to Josh.
No matter the harsh looks those grey eyes directed her own black ones nor the cold shoulders that brushed past her every break, she couldn't bring her heart back to where it belonged. Giving up was one of the very top options in her list. It was easy to brush it off as a "crush" when it didn't happen to you.
Every night as she looked up to the moon, she wondered if he was looking at it too. It was a flimsy connection, but it is a connection no less. She preferred to hope.
Hope was a hard thing to have when yours was crushed so many times before. But Stefie had a tough life, and she always will.
"He touched your hand while handing you your paper. And that explains a growing interest, how?" Stacy cocked an eyebrow.
"It's a women's intuition." Stefie stared at Stacy's sky-blue eyes.
One thing she'll never tell Stacy was that she was jealous of her best friend.
"Intuition comes to those with experience. You've never even touched the males before." Stacy turned her attention back to the steak. And the canteen noise disappeared in Stefie's mind.
It was true.
Stefie fell in love alot. And they all left wounds. There was a day when her mom took her by the hand to her room and gently spoke to her. "Your dad thinks it's high time for you to have a boyfriend."
That was the day she decided to lose weight. And landed herself in ICU.
She just wasn't cut out for love. Love was for the pretty and the confident. There was nobody out there to love her. She heard from her grandmother before that humans were born with half a soul and they were supposed to search for the other half in your lifetime, that's the purpose humans were born.
Was there another half left for her? Or was she born with no soul?
Looking at herself in the mirror now, it was obvious to say the least, that she was alone at home on a Valentine's Day. 14th February was circled with a red marker on her calender just across her bedroom door. There was no unread messages in her inbox, there were no missed calls on her phone and there was no knocking on her door. She persuaded Stacy not to put off her boyfriend.
She pushed open her windows. The air was certainly fresh outside. The view from her window was overlooking a cosy spot in the garden. It was filled with couples.
Was it even possible for a girl to feel so lonely? It wasn't hard not feeling jealous. No, it was impossible.
Water should help. She shut the window and went downstairs.
"Mom! Josh's fetching me to a concert! It should end around 9pm so don't bother cooking for me!" Triss's voice was as sharp as ever.
Wait. Josh? Stefie's feet stopped on the staircase.
"Ok, honey! Bring a nice gift back for your elder sister! She's been feeling so down." The mother came out of the kitchen. "Why don't you give her the number of the slimming centre? That should help." Triss cocked her head back to face her mom. The said mom just shook her head. "I know, but that will hurt your sister's heart!"
Triss's phone rang. "Oh, Josh's calling me." A knocking sound came from the door. "You go ahead, I'll go get the door." Josh was standing there. Looking more handsome than ever. "Stefie? I didn't know you live here." Stefie's mom turned around to see her own daughter standing on the staircase like a statue. "Oh, Stefie? You know Josh right? He's from your class."
"I certainly do." Her mom's look changed. "What's wrong dear?"
Never in her life could Stefie imagine her voice sounding this weak and small. "Nothing, Mom. The water just couldn't help."
