I didn't hope that someday you'll love me back… rather I only wish for your happiness

I would always see you running towards your Imai-san hoping for a hug, but you'd always be flung to the wall. I would secretly wince wanting to help you but I couldn't. You'd always stand back up and that's what I admire about you….

But in the end is that the only thing that I feel about you… seeing you with Hyuuga-kun hurt me more than I would let on.

But what is this unfamiliar feeling growing in my chest?

It beats wildly when your smile is directed at me. It flutters when I hear your voice. It softens when I see you with Imai-san. And it clenches tightly when I see you with other guys and even when you are sad.

Please don't make a face like that.

As time passes by, I see you with Hyuuga-kun more and more. Everyone could feel the changes that happened to him. He is more open, charitable, and care-free; He is also less violent, stoic, cold, and was not easily angered. I could see both in your eyes, the adoration and love for each other, but both are oblivious to each other's feelings. I am happy for the changes that you made for the whole academy, but my feelings didn't change, it only intensified with each passing day.

I didn't know what I should do.

I realized what these feelings were. I first thought that it was normal since we're friends but it wasn't. I couldn't sleep that one snowy night, so I decided to walk around. It must've been because of some twisted fate that I happened to pass by the Sakura tree, because I saw you under it arguing with him. I was about to step in but before I could do so, he quickly embraced you and kissed you in the lips. I froze and clenched my hands.

I didn't know what came inside but I was suddenly filled with anger, that ugly unfamiliar feeling, and that feeling I hadn't felt for someone in a long time, Hate.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at me, as if looking at my very soul. I quickly fled and came upon my room. I locked the door and leaned against it, my head bowed down, and my hair covering my eyes.

I realize it now. The beautiful feeling when I see you smile, every time you speak, and talk to every person. That ugly feeling when I see you with guys, especially Hyuuga-kun. It was, is LOVE AND JEALOUSY.

How could I have been so blind as to see that I have loved you from the very start?

I had an urge, wanting to be with you, hold you in my arms, laugh with you, protect you from anything that harms you; but I remembered the events earlier and realized the bitter truth, that I couldn't possibly win against Hyuuga-kun. You already love him and I couldn't possibly steal you away from him even if I wanted to.

Because… even if I love you, I know that it would only cause so much grief not only to you but also to Hyuuga-kun.

It was ironic; the day I found out that I love you and got my heart broken was snowing. My love for you is like snow, gently falling, piling up even higher. I only hope that one day, when the time comes, it would melt like the snow and that I could look at you not feeling the love I had for you and jealousy for Hyuuga-kun. And so tonight I cried for everything. After tonight, I would fake my feelings and look at you both, wishing for you to be happy.

Please be happy Mikan because if you grow to be lonely, then all my sacrifice would be for nothing.

We all sacrifice things for the people we care for, whether small or big. We choose to do this not for the glory or fame, but because we love them.

A/N: Good Luck on finding out who the person is and what sacrifice he/she(?) made. Open to all criticisms especially since I am an amateur and this is my first uploaded fanfic. You don't have to review, favorite, or follow even and I'm serious about this. I only uploaded this because of some weird compelling force. Make fun of me for all I care. Ja. And thank you TheInvertedOne for being my friend and inspiration on uploading this fanfic.
