With Alvin and Brittany

"Alvin, I don't think we can continue anymore." Brittany said.

Alvin's eyes widened. He was so shocked to hear this. He asked, "What? Why?"

Brittany shrugged and said carelessly, "I don't know, maybe it's because I don't think I have feelings to you anymore."

Alvin's heart dropped to the floor. He could barely speak as he felt the urge to cry. He started to sob and managed to use his remaining strength to whisper, "But I really love you, Britt..."

Brittany cut him off, "Stop, Alvin. I know that, but I'm sorry. I don't love you anymore. I really did love you before, but as time went by, My love towards you declined. It wasn't as strong as it had been from the beginning. Maybe we can still be friends, but we won't be together anymore." With that, she walked past him without looking back.

Alvin dropped to his knees. It looks like she is certain about what she said. The tears that were hiding just now fell like a waterfall. He sobbed and sobbed, but no one came. So, he decided to go into his bedroom.

He ran straight to his bed and slumped down into it. He looked up at the ceiling. He was completely clueless about why Brittany, his girlfriend, would break up with him all of a sudden, at the same time he felt hopeless as if he had lost his life. In the past, Brittany used to be his light of hope. With her, he felt so lively and cheerful; but now, the light has dimmed and finally died out. He felt completely helpless as he knew that it would only be the past. There will be no turning back, nor there will be any bit of hope. He closed his eyes and tried to capture the happy moments he had with Brittany.

Flashback~~~

One day, back when they were still a couple, just a year before, they were seating on the grass, enjoying the feeling of silence and freedom. They were cuddled up closely, watching the magnificent view of the sea waves.

"Alvin, do you love me?" Brittany tilted up from Alvin's chest, asking him in her soothing, angelic voice.

Alvin looked down and flashed his signature bad-boy grin, " Of course, baby. I love you only. "

Brittany smiled in satisfaction and said, "Good. I love you too. Will you promise me not to leave me?"

Alvin buried his head into her neck and said, "I won't ever, ever leave you, I promise. I will love you until the end of the world."

Then, they kissed passionately as the sun began to sink back into the horizon.

Endless memories of their sweet time suddenly flooded into Alvin's mind at the same time. He savoured every bit of the joy brought by these memories. He just wished that he would fall into slumber forever and that he won't ever wake up. He just wished that he could live happily ever after, not suffering every now and then. The reality is so cruel and heartless.

Flashback ended~~~

Alvin opened his eyes again. He smiled in tears as he felt those memories gradually fade away. 6.30pm, almost dinner, Alvin thought. He sat up in the bed and stretched, then jumped down to the floor and walked downstairs to get himself ready for dinner.

With Simon and Jeanette

"Hey Jeanette," Simon suddenly said, breaking the silence and scaring her to death.

"Simon, don't be so sudden and I nearly jumped out of my skin." Jeanette panted.

"Jean, there's something I wanted to say but I just don't have the courage to say it to you..."

"Never mind Simon, just spill it out. You can tell me anything you know. Speaking it out is always better than keeping it in your heart."

"Are you sure? But I don't want to hurt your feelings..."

Jeanette being the genius gulped and prayed that what Simon is going to say will not be what she assumed.

Simon took a deep breath and blurted out, "I'm sorry, but I love someone now. I know, it might be very hard for you to accept it, but I'm sorry. I don't have feelings to you anymore."

Jeanette stayed quiet and her face went palmed. She went completely speechless. What she thought would have been really happened.

She whispered, "It's ok. I'll move on."

After that, she turned away from him and started to walk away. She was about to leave the room when Simon placed a paw onto her right shoulder and said, "I'm sorry."

She did not reply and shook off his hand. She banged the door room shut and walked down slowly down the hall.

She went outside of the house and climbed up to the roof. She sat down and sighed.

Why this has to happen to me? Why doesn't he love me? What did I do wrong?

She looked up at the orange sky and gazed at the clouds. She realized one of them as a heart-shaped one. She stared at it and went deep into her thoughts. Love might be something which everyone desires, but it might also be something which hurts everyone's feelings. It requires hard work and determination, or else it would be nothing special, nor it will have any expected outcomes. Fairy tales won't happen in reality. We may only yearn for it, but in the end we won't be able to own it or get it.

This is the cruel reality, a truth that everyone has to believe and that they have no choice but to accept it.
