LUV Sucks
Chapter One:
Loves Fool
It was another peaceful day in the tranquil suburbia of Station Square. The Sun was shining, the birds were singing and spring was spreading love through the air. However, there was one person who was not in high spirits. This person was sitting inside, staring out his window at the happiness of those outdoors. This person sobbed to himself, an occasional tear falling from his large, emotional eyes. Who was this you may ask?
Ray the Squirrel.
Indeed, our favorite flying rodent is in the saddest of moods, watching his friends and acquaintances prance and dance in the spring sun. He longed to be out there, to feel the same warm breeze as they did, to bask in the same light as they did, and to sing in the same way as they did then. Sadly, his heart was not in the right place. It had been broken to pieces a short while ago, leaving him in the most pitiful of moods. For a long time going he had held his heart for only one woman, one woman who he planned on spending the end of existence with.
He loved this woman.
He loved her DEARLY.
But yet whenever he gave his heart to her she would spurn him away, leaving him with bruised heart and pride (and skin on the occasions he got persistent). This had never bothered him much as he always believed that in the end she would realize the deepness of his feelings and accept them. She would learn how much he felt for her and wished for nothing but the best life had to offer for her at all times.
He loved this woman.
He could never bear to be separated from this woman.
He would have given his life for this woman in an instant.
He would KILL ANYONE for this woman.
Even his own flesh and blood.
And yet she ignored these feelings as that of an insignificant infatuation; a relationship of the littlest emotion and feeling, driven only by lust; one that would disappear in a short time.
It WOUNDED him to hear her speak of it as that.
It drove a sharp knife into the very core of his soul, obliterating it into a black hole that would destroy his very being in short time.
She knew not of how greatly he cared.
She was in his thoughts at all times.
She haunted them in a beautiful spiral of terror, curiosity, love and understanding.
She COMPLETED him.
She thought of him as a fool. A fool of love maybe, but a fool surely. She believed that he only like her for her appearance, wealth or status. She believed he cared not for her desires or dreams, that none of this meant anything to him.
She could have not been more mistaken.
He loved bright fur.
He dreamed of her kind eyes.
He sweated at the thought of her beauty.
He marveled over her caring.
He admired her understanding.
He wished to know the truth of her soft words.
Everything of her brought him to absolute happiness.
But her rejections nearly threw him over the brink to insanity, from where no mortal man returns.
As much as it hurt to have her not believe the beautiful truth of his feelings he would always smile in his own goofy way and continue to interact with her and the others as he always did, with no hint of the despair in his soul showing through his humorous façade. He knew that eventually she would know him and his feelings; then he would shower her with the all the love his being could give.
Then it changed.
Then it was never the same.
Then his torment would grow tenfold.
Then was when HE appeared.
He had known the man for a time. He held no real hatred for this man. Never had bad blood existed between them. In ways he felt sympathy for this man, as he had suffered many times at the hands of fate, just as Ray himself had. In a strange cosmic way the two were brethren of a certain order, one which belonged to those that the greater pleasantries of life had long eluded.
Yet he could not forgive the man for what he did.
Nothing could repair that ties severed between them.
Hatred was all he held in his heart of hearts for this man.
Yet they had never fought. Neither had given the other so much a small foul word or a filthy look, never giving a slight hint of distaste. Though neither had any great liking for the other there were equally no harsh feelings on one side or the other. And yet the man had done something so unforgivable, so foul to him that nothing short of intense hatred could come from it.
He walked with her.
He talked with her.
He cared with her.
He kissed her.
He STOLE her.
Ray cared not whether he was aware of what he had done. Ray cared not of whether he sympathized with him in the slightest. Ray cared not of whether this man thought of what he was doing when he touches her. Ray only cared that he was with her.
Ray only cared that he had taken her.
And now there Ray was, watching as he and she laughed and played along with all of his other friends, happily unaware of the disaster their every movement together wrecked upon his soul. He wondered why he didn't go out there and stop them. He wondered why he didn't try to reach here from the beginning. He wondered why he never dared to confront them.
Though he wondered he knew the answer:
He was AFRAID.
With this in mind he continued to stare, to never dare think thoughts of him and her again, to never dream of the life they'd spend together, to never-
"Are you STILL moping?"
Ray was quickly jogged out of his trance as he turned around, looking up at his friend Mighty the Armadillo, who had a condescending look on his face. Speaking before he thought, the squirrel replied" Uh, NO I wasn't!"
"Yeah, yeah," Mighty muttered as he took a sip of his soda, blinking slowly" tell yourself whatever you need to hear."
"I don't have to tell myself whatever I need to hear because I don't need to hear it!" Ray shouted back defensively.
"Just admit that you're still bummed out over Shadow and Tikal dating."
"OH!" Ray coughed as he folded his arms, a look of anger taking over his face" How DARE you accuse me of crying over that, t-that GIRL and that stuck up jerk!"
"Don't try to cover up your feelings." Mighty quietly said in a wise manner, trying to get Ray to calm down" All you'll do is leave others unaware of the true you. Ultimately you're just hurting yourself."
"Oh yeah? Then why don't you go tell you-know-who how you feel about her, huh?"
Mighty coughed loudly at Ray's rebuttal, with soda spilling all over his chest." T-that is completely different!" Mighty yelled back at him, fear starting to come into his eyes.
"No it isn't!" Ray said as he turned his back to Mighty, trying his best to come out on top of the conversation" So if you're going to give me advice on relationships you better follow it yourself!"
"W-well……" Mighty stuttered as he shook a trembling fist at Ray" I-I'll t-teach……….. Forget it!" The armadillo then got up and left the house, blushing as he did.
"Yeah!" Ray shouted back, a sense of pride in defending himself coming over his face.
However, this sense of pride quickly left as continued to watch the two frolic outside, laughing and smiling as any happy couple would. Not matter how deeply it hurt him Ray knew he must not interfere. He could not possibly stop their relationship. Or COULD he?
"Why DON'T I try?" Ray asked himself as he got to his feet, thinking faster than he had ever thought before" Why don't I try to get Tikal to feel the same way I do?"
Jumping on top of a nearby table he continued" Why is it so impossible that she could learn to love me? Relationships like theirs end all the time. After all, the divorce rate in this country is over 50!"
Putting his fist into the air Ray continued his speech with growing confidence." What is to stop me from getting my woman? NOTHING!"
Grabbing the table cloth he draped it around his neck, making a cape.
"I now know what I must do! With God as my witness, TIKAL SHALL BECOME MINE!"
"AND I WILL KILL THAT DAMN JERK SHADOW! I HATE HIM!"
