"Toximemory's one-shot contest entry: Best Tragedy"- Amuto

"I'll love you forever, Amu," he told me, his voice velvet brushing against my ears, "Until the end of time."

I wanted it to last forever, rather than the fleeting moments of happiness I felt when I was near him. I wished and hoped that the sweet nothings could come true, that we could be together forever.

We all have our wishes. That doesn't mean that they come true.

I was an idiot to believe that he might stay with me. I was blinded by my one-sided love and my belief that we were a perfect couple. I was utterly foolish and for that foolishness I was punished.

My idiocy extended further when we drifted apart. I saw him with other girls and denied the very possibility of him cheating on me; I mean we were the perfect couple, right? I was high on unrequited love and thought myself invincible. I don't think that he never loved me; he did at first. But then he stopped.

By now it's obvious what happened, right? He cheated on me. With the school slut. The tumbleweed girl who flirted with anything male.

My life isn't happy anymore, everything is gray and dull. I have no friends anymore, either. They couldn't handle seeing me broken like this. All I am is a piece of broken, discarded trash that no one wants.

I have no reason to live, now.

But, before I rid the world of the rubbish that is now me, I have something to say and know that these are my last words:

"I still love you, Ikuto"
