Forget Me

"I need you to forget me," those are the last words you told me, two years ago.

I need you to forget me; those were the words that constantly ran through my mind because I didn't know how to take it. It's been 2 years and I still couldn't forget you. I always wondered why you would leave with no explanation—at all.

"Shun?"

I turned to the image I wish to see so many times before. I close my eyes to get a better image. Your red orange curly hair, your reddish brown eyes, your pale white skin and your beautiful smile…your smile was the best memory I'd ever had of you.

"Is anybody sitting here?"

I looked up at the girl for the first time—actually, examined her true beauty. I was embarrassed by my staring and quickly turned back to my book.

"It is if you sit there," I didn't want it too sound that harsh and hoped she wasn't hurt by my tone. I looked up from my book and noticed a slight blush on her face. I could feel a blush creep on my face. She was adorable.

I hadn't noticed that she only sat there because the cafeteria was crowded.

"Y-Your name is S-Shun right?"

"Right," I said plainly. I slapped myself mentally; I surely was making a good impression on my part.

When the others arrived at our table with their trays in hand I ignored their approach.

"Look, Shun's got a new girlfriend," Dan said playfully. I only blushed at the thought and I could see she did too. Dan always found a way to embarrass me or annoy me.

"So who's your new friend, Shun?" Dan said with a grin. When Dan asked I was surprised because I didn't know her name.

I looked up at the girl.

"I'm Alice," she said sweetly.

"Alice, a beautiful name for a beautiful girl," I whispered. Her head shifted towards me in surprise. She heard me.

When I went home, I couldn't get her off my mind. The only thing I knew about her was her name.

And I wanted to know more.

I couldn't stay away, eventually, I was walking her home and to school. We were going everywhere together. I had fallen for her…hard, and when I got the courage to tell her she dropped a bomb.

We went on a boat ride around the city with a candle light dinner. When it was over we took a walk around the park. When she started to cry; I didn't understand.

"What's wrong? Is it too much? I'm—"

"No, it's not you, it's me." I always hated that cliché saying. That's always what someone said before they broke up with you. I could feel my heart pace, and my palms sweat.

"What are y-you s-saying?" I choked out. "I-If it's w-what I-I… it is…"

She looked at me tears in her eyes.

"No, Shun, it has nothing to do with you,"

That surprised and confused me because I thought it was about us and nobody else.

"Shun, I've never felt anything for anyone the way I do about you. Shun, I-I-I l-love y-you."

I couldn't speak. I was brought a back by her statement.

"Shun? Could you do me a favor?"

I looked up at her. Why couldn't I say it?

"I need you to forget me," and she walked away.

I love you, too…

I called.

I wrote.

She never responded.

I couldn't stop thinking about her.

I inhaled the air and remember the memories we once shared.

I could never forget you, Alice.

Two months later…

I sat in my same spot I did two months ago. I always sat here because this is where I'd always go to think about someone important in my life. Recently my mom died and I needed Alice the most now, but I knew that wasn't going to happen.

I closed my eyes imagining once more. For some reason, I could feel her presence. I could feel her arms wrap around my neck and smell her scent and hear her calling my name.

My phone interrupted my thoughts. I looked at the unknown number in aggravation. I hated prank calls. I didn't answer.

I took my annual stroll in the park. My life was so empty without Alice. I think I would have felt better if she told me the reason. If she had given me an explanation I might have been able to cope, but I couldn't figure out why she would do this to me…to us.

When I got home Dan was there with Runo, Julie, Marucho, Klaus, and Joe. I looked at them in disgust.

"Get out," I said plainly.

"It's about Alice,"

I quickly turned towards them.

"Read this,"

He gave me a letter.

It was her handwriting.

Shun,

I never thought I could love someone the way I love you. I love you so much I couldn't bare with the fact that if I told you it would be your burden, but it's mine and you shouldn't have to deal with it.

My eyes couldn't help but water. I didn't want them to see me vulnerable but I couldn't control it.

Shun, I don't know how to say this but I've been diagnosed with cancer.

I gasped from the shock. Why didn't she tell me? I fell to my knees; my arms shaking uncontrollably.

"Alice," I couldn't read anymore.

"Where is she?"

"Her grandfather called and said she's been in a coma for about five months and they plan on taking her off life support. Alice, didn't want you to see her because she said you should forget her…or something like that."

"Dan, that's not answering the question," I was angry and worried. I had to see her. I knew if she…

I wish you never did this because I could never forget you…
