She had a boyfriend, she grew up with him. To her he was the only one, precious and important. But to him she was just another girl...
Girl: Hey, wanna go to a movie?
Boy: I can't
Girl: Why, do u need to study at home or something?
Boy: Um....no...
Girl: ....Then what are you doing?
Boy: I'm meeting up...with a friend...
It was always like that with him, he met girls in front of her, like it was nothing. The word "LOVE" never came out of his mouth, only hers. Ever since shes known him she has never heard him say, "I Love You" from him. There weren't any anniversaries at all. He didnt say anything from the 1st day & it continued until 100 days...200 days...Everyday before they said goodbye, he would just hand her a doll, everyday, without fail. She didnt know why...then one day...
Girl: Um...Jake?
Boy: What? Dont drag just say...
Girl: I Love You
Boy:Umm......you...what...? Just take this doll & go home...
Thats how he ignored her 'three words' and handed her the doll. Then he disappeared, as if he was running away. The dolls the girl recieved from him everyday, filled her room, one by one. Then her 15th year old b-day had arrived. When she got up in the morning, she pictured a party with him. She stranded herself in her room waiting for his call. But... lunch passed....dinner passed...and the sky was now dark...he still didnt call. It was already tiring to look at the phone anymore. Then around 2am in the morning, he suddenly called her and woke her from her sleep. He told her to go outside her house, she was so excited!
Girl: Jake!
Boy: Here, take this
And again he handed her a doll...
Girl: Whats this???
Boy: I didnt give it to you yesterday, so I'm gving it to you now. I'm going home now bye.
Girl: Jake, wait! Do you know what today is?!?
Boy: Today? What about it?
Her heart sank, she thought he would remember her b-day. He turned around and walked away like nothing had happened. Before he could get away...
Girl: Wait!
Boy: You have something to say?
Girl: Tell me....tell me that you love me...
Boy: What...did you say?
Girl: Tell please...its just three words.
Boy: I dont want to say...that I love someone so easily, if you are desperate to hear it...then find someone else...
That was what he said. Then he ran off. Her legs felt numb...and she collapsed to the ground...he didnt want to say it easily?!?! How could he...she felt that...maybe he is not the right guy for her... After that day she stranded herself at home crying. He didnt call her, although she was waiting. He just continued handing her a doll every morning outside her house. Thats how those dolls piled up in her room...everyday. After a month she got herself together and went to school. But what made the pain resurface was that...she saw him on a street....with another girl... He had a smile on his face, one that he never showed her...as he touched the doll... She ran back home and looked at the dolls in her room, and tears fell... Why did he give these to her??? Those dolls are probably picked by some other girls...in a fit of anger, she threw the dolls around. Then the phone rang...it was him... he told her to come out to the bus stop outside her house. She tried to calm herself down and walked to the bus stop. She kept reminding herself that she was going to forget him, that...its going to end. Then he came into her sight. He was holding the big doll.
Boy: You came...I thought you were upset...
She couldnt help hating him, acting like nothing had happened and joking around. Soon he held out a doll as usual...
Girl: I dont need it...
Boy: What?....W-why?
She grabbed the doll from his hand and threw it on the road...
Girl: I dont need this doll! I dont need it anymore! I dont want to see a person like you ever again!
She spat out the words...But unlike any other day his eyes were shaking..
Boy: I-I'm sorry...(He apologized in a tiny, shakey voice)
He then walked over to the road to pick up the doll...
Girl: You stupid! Just leave the doll, throw it away!!!
But he ignored her....then....~HONK~ ~HONK~ With the loud honks a big truck was heading toward him...
Girl: Jake! Move! Move Away! (she shouted as loud as she could)
He stood up and looked at her with sad eyes....then.....BOOM! The sound was terrifying... She screamed & she cried. But nothing could bring him back. No matter how much she wished that she could take back the words that she said to him...she just couldnt...And that was how he went away from her... After that day, she had to go through everyday with guiltiness and sadness of losing him...and after spending 2 months like a crazy person...she finally took out the dolls. Those were the only gifts he left her since they started going out. She remembered the days she spent with him. And she started counting the days, when they were in love...
Girl: one...two...three..(thats how she counted the dolls...)...484...485...
It all ended with 485 dolls. She then started to cry again, with a doll in her arms. She hugged it tightly...then suddenly....the doll said, "I Love You...I Love You" she dropped the doll shocked.
Girl: I...L-Lo-ve...You???
She picked up the dolls and pressed each stomach, "I love you...i love you" it cant be!?! Those words came out non-stop. I...love you...why didnt she realize that...? That his heart was always by her side, protecting her...Why didnt she realize he loved her this much...she took out the doll under the bed and pressed its stomach. That was the .....last doll, the one that fell on the road. It had his blood stain on it. The voice came out, the one that she was missing sooo much.
Boy's voice in doll: Hun...do u know what today is? We've been loving each other for 486 days. Do you know what 486 is? I couldnt say i love you... Um...since I was too shy...if u forgive me and take this doll, I will say I love you....everyday...till I die...Jessie...I love you...
The tears kept flowing out of her. Why? Why? She asked god, why does she all know about all of this now??? He cant be by her side, but he loved her until his last minute... For that....and for that reason...to her...it became courage...to live a beautiful life...
