Sad Love Story

The bell rings and all the students gather up all their belongings, as the classroom doors swung open, all the students run out of their classrooms. It's Friday and everyone have their weekend plans to look forward to--Everyone but Ashley. For Ashley, it means going to the doctors again to have a check up. She has been fighting her cancer for over 2 years now. As she was walking to her locker, she bumped into a gentleman named Taylor who accidentally dropped her books. He felt bad so he helped her pick it up and walked her to her locker and said goodbye.

Few weeks passed and she have been seeing him around the hallways, cafeteria, and outside of school more often. Each time they pass by each other, they would say "hi". Ashley and Taylor became closer and as they became closer, their feelings towards each other became stronger as well.

3 years have gone by and everyone is excited for prom to come. It has been 3 years that Ashley has known Taylor. It has become inevitable that they both love each other. They did not tell each other because they were both scared. Taylor was planning to ask Ashley to the prom and tell her everything. He wanted to tell her how he felt about her; he wanted to tell her how much he loves her; he wanted to tell her everything. Prom is fast approaching and Taylor still did not ask Ashley to the prom yet. A week before the prom, he finally brought himself together and asked her to go to the prom with him. She was ecstatic. After prom, Taylor and Ashley became inseparable. They have been together for 8 years and Ashley still did not tell her about her cancer. Although she has been going for her daily check ups, her condition have gotten worse, not better. One day, she had decided that she don't want to hide it from him any longer, therefore, she told him about her cancer. He was so furious with her that he broke up with her. They were supposed to get married but now that she told him, he did not know how to face it so he decided to take the easy way out and just end the 8 years of memories that they shared.

A year went by and Ashley still loves Taylor and she was still not willing to let him go. Taylor on the other hand, has had 3 girlfriends for the past 6 months. Of course, he still loves Ashley but the only reason he was doing that was because he want to try and forget about her. Unfortunately, it is not working. He wanted Ashley back in his arms; he wanted things to be the way it was before, but he doesn't know how to face her because he was the one who broke up with her first. One day, he couldn't stand it anymore, he wanted to marry her and continue their plans together but it was too late. He found out that she had died. She didn't die because of cancer, but because of drug overdose. After he left her, she felt that there was no more purpose for living anymore so she decided to suicide. She took a whole bottle of sleeping pills and she died.

He was too late because the day he wanted to go find her and tell her how sorry he was and he still wants her to become his wife was the day that she died. In her hands she had a note. The note was for him. He could not help it but regret and cry because he lost the women that he truly loves. He read the note

"Dear Taylor,

It has been 8 years and I still love you. I told you I had cancer and you decided to leave me. I know that you had other girlfriends because you wanted to forget about me. I felt very lonely ever since the day you left me so I made my decision to eat the sleeping pills that way, I would be in less pain. I hope that you will carry on your life without any regrets and I wish you best of luck. Whoever that marries you will be very lucky to have you as their husband. Take care, I love you.

Love, Ashley"
