Nothing Stops The Love
by: butterflie
The wind whips my hair around my face as I walk. Absently, I tuck a few stray strands back behind my ear.
It's late, and very dark outside.
I don't care.
All I can think about is him.
'I love you..'
No!
Stop that! I don't want you to love me!
Don't you realize it's wrong? You can't love me...
'I love you Yamato, more than you ever realized'
Why? Why did you have to love me?
I never asked for your love. I didn't want it..
Why?
I guess I should have known.
But I was to caught up in my own feelings to notice anything.
I never even realized it at first.
I should have been more careful.
I didn't even suspect.
Not until it was too late.
I'm sorry.
I walk on, not paying attention to where I am going, not caring.
The darkness inside me rules me, consumes me.
I don't care.
How can I, after what he did to me?
I mean, what reason do I have to care about anything anymore?
Somehow, without really knowing, my feet arrive at the bridge.
I climb up, then stare down at the dark water beneath me.
One step, and I could be there.
'I love you'
Stop it! Stop saying that! I don't want you to love me, I don't! I don't love you!
Not ever! I never have, not the tiniest bit!
'I love you..'
NO! Stop!
I told you not to say that.
Why do you persist?
Can't you understand I love someone else?
Someone that's not you?
Just leave me alone.
Taichi, I need you.
Why did you have to leave me when I needed you the most?
I continue to study the churning seas below me.
It would be so easy.
One little step, and all my pain and suffering would end.
I could even be with you Taichi.
'Yamato, please, I need this. I love you Yamato. Don't worry, it won't hurt, I promise.'
You lying son of a bitch.
You lied.
You said it wouldn't hurt.
It did.
I didn't even want it.
Couldn't you have left me alone?
I never should have told you about Taichi.
It was a mistake.
Especially since he left me.
I should have realized... I'm so stupid.
'Yamato...'
No! Stop! Iwon't let you hurt me anymore!
Don't hurt me...
I trusted you...
I called you 'dad'...
How could you repay me like that?
This pain is tearing away at my insides.
My heart is nothing but a constant ache deep inside me.
I want to end this right now.
Something inside is pulling, dragging me down.
Almost like it's begging me.
My emotions are overwhelming.
I need to end this.
'I love you Yamato'
NO! I don't want you to love me.
I'm crying.
I'm such a baby...
If only Taichi was here.
He wouldn't call me a baby.
He'd call me an angel, his beautiful Angel.
Taichi, I miss you so much.
You're the one person that can stop this awful feeling, this damnable pain.
Taichi.
I want to be with you so bad.
I have no self control.
The darkness is controlling.
Hold on, Taichi.
One step.
It was so easy.
I should have done it sooner.
Everything's rushing by in a blur.
It's so fast.
The wind is whipping by me.
Suddenly there is excruciating pain.
Then nothing.
