I Love You (Short Story)

Xx I Love You xX

She put her head in her hands and tried to block out the memories spilling from her mind. The kisses, the hugs, the way he held her hand and the sweet words he whispered in her ear...

(I love you)

The tears welled in her eyes and she pressed her fists to her face to quell the unstoppable flow. But the damn had finally burst and there was no preventing it...

(I love you)

Those words taunted her. She had had songs stuck in her head from time to time, she had sometimes been annoyed when she couldn't shift it but she would gladly welcome them now, anything to keep those words from swirling in her mind...

(I love you)

It wasn't supposed to end like this. It wasn't supposed to end. They were in love, they were supposed to last. Everyone said so. Didn't those words mean anything...

(I love you)

Why couldn't she keep her temper in check? Why did she have to say things without thinking? Why did he have to be so infuriating? Why did she have to love him so much...?

(I love you)

She would do anything to see him again. To say she was sorry. To say it was such a stupid argument. To touch him. To hug him. To kiss him... The longing overwhelmed her, she had to see him...

(I love you)

She wiped away the streams of mascara and smoothed her hair back. She straightened her dress and stood up. She had to find him. She had to work this out. They were to in love to spilt up over something so stupid...

(I love you)

She heard someone clearing their throat behind her. She didn't have to turn around to know who it was. She felt a hand on her shoulder. She felt his lips on her cheek. She felt his love mingling with hers. And then she felt his words...

"I love you."
