The Cherry Blossom Tree

Another love gone wrong another heart to shatter welcome to reality where feelings don't matter

"I'm leaving… Tonight… I can't stay here anymore… Goodbye … Cross."

"So she's gone just like all the others… I guess I do what I always do… Move on." He said. "In this world there is no love for we understand it not." He got up and dressed for the day. "Another day another hart to brake." As I went to work I see couples walking. 'Heh. They won't last a month' I thought with the way he was looking at the other girls and she was looking at other guys. He knew those looks all to well. Well when you have a new girl every couple days you get used to the looks. Lucky are those that keep those they love how he despised that word.

I pulled into work The Black Order Academy. I'm a teacher at a fancy school teaching spoiled rich kids. I teach second and third years in high school. "Cross!" Komui the principle yelled.

"What?"

"You'll be getting a new student his name is Allen Walker."

"Fine." Hmm Allen Walker.

"He's in the office why don't you come meet him and his mother?"

"Fine." I have no idea what possessed me to say yes but I did usually I'd just 'che' and walk away I wonder what's different?

"Allen I'm Komui and this is you math teacher Cross."

"It's nice to meet you my mother will be right back; she just went to the ladies room." White hair that's some how familiar to me I wonder why? A few seconds later. "Oh there she is right now." The boy no more then 15 pointed to the door.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same.

White hair popped around the corner of the door. "Maria." Said lady looked up.

"Marian?"

"You know each other?" Komui said.

"Yeah Maria and I here grew up to gather but lost contact after high school. I see you have a son. Did you get married?"

"Yes…" It pained my hart to hear that." But he died last year." She looked sad. Then I don't know what came over me but I hugged her. Silence came over the room.

"Ah… Look at the time I better get to class." The kid broke the silence.

Weeks passed since then and Maria and I started dating in a real relationship not just a 'I used you now leave'. A real relationship. Then a year later I asked her to marry me. I had cleaned up my act I didn't drink or woo ladies and more. Well just one lady. I still smoked but that was ok. My life was turned around by her and her son.

Then a week later there was an accident. Maria and Allen was at the bank and the bank got robbed the robbers left no one alive. I was devastated my life after that went down the drain in stead of my old life I did drugs and drank 10 times more. I couldn't for get about them. No one could help me you know what they say can't beat them join them. When they found my body with my face down in the pillow holding their picture and a note that said I couldn't forget. Buried me right be side them under a cherry blossom tree. I was finally happy and learned to love. I love the word Love.
