“3..2..1.. YES!” I exclaimed as I watch the clock pass by 12 in the midnight. “ Finally I won!!!” I ran to my car and drove to my destination, with full of emotions, I was happy because I had finished and won the stupid bet between me and my lover. But as I reached my destination I didn’t expect the surprise that will greet me. “huh? What this?” I ask in a whisper tone. I got out of my car and walked to the door , as I opened the door I was surprise to see my lover sitting in the sofa his eyes full of tears. “ Jacob? Why are you crying?” I ask him, but it seems that he doesn’t want to answer me, I walked to the coffin that is in front of me, I move with a shaky hands an anxious heart and I couldn’t believe what I saw “ i—i—it’s me?” my eyes widen as I cover my mouth “ That can’t be, but I’m here?” I said with a lot of confusion. I ran towards my lover and shout “ What the hell is this?! This isn’t funny Jacob!” but to my surprise no one reacted to my shout not even my lover. Then suddenly a man in a black cloth walked towards me “ Hey there little one” he said “ you can see me?” I asked but instead of an answer to my question his replied made me even more confuse “ it’s time to go” where should I go? I ask in my mind but it seems that he has read my mind that he answered me “ to the other side” my legs gave out as I let out a sarcasm laugh “ haha so I really did died” I said trying to process everything in my little head. “ yes you died in the road, it was a little accident a truck has collided with your car it was a drunk driver” he said “ you’ve died before you even got to your destination” he added, I couldn’t help my tears from flowing anymore, I cried my heart out as my brain processed everything “ If only I knew this would have happen I wouldn’t said that bet to her” I stopped as I heard my lover Jacob spoke “ it was only a way to give yourself more time to prepare your surprise to her” my mother answered, Jacob pulled out a ring in his pocket and stared at it , “ he was planning on proposing to me” I said in a low tone I couldn’t help my tears to flow out, why? Why did this happen to me? I asked in my mind. “ Death is something unpredictable, which is why every moment you live is a miracle” the man said. “ I love her!, I F*CKIN* LOVE HER… with all of my heart!  She stole my heart” Jacob exclaimed “ how can I live on knowing she’s not coming back?” he asked as he whimper and weep. As I heard him say that I asked the man in black a favor “ Please… I beg you… help me to comfort him for one last time..” when he heard my plea he sigh and nodded “ a minute that’s all I can give you” he said, I nodded with a smile and thanked him. “ My love” with a whisper tone I called for my lover it seems that he knew that it was me and followed my voice to the garden. “ Jasmine?” he said with a voice full of love “ Yes, it is me my love” as I answered him he cried his heart out as he spoke “ Jasmine please I ask of you.. please don’t leave me.. stay here with me… please don’t leave me alone in this world you’re the one that gave light to my dark world you can’t go now, not now that you have my heart with you..” I couldn’t control my sadness, with his voice pleading, begging me “ I-I—I can’t , there are things that are unpredictable in this world but please always remember I’m always here above watching you” as I replied him holding back my tears from coming out “ but I don’t want to” he said with determine voice “ I rather die than live in a world without you by my side” and with that………

His P.O.V

The world has been too harsh for me to stay in, maybe in the other side I'll be able to rest now. With the blink of an eye everything will be done" ironic isn't?" I said as I laid on my bed with the pills and the knife in my hands. "Knife can stop this, so does the pills" I thought to myself, while staring at the ceiling " But I don't want a painful one I just want to go like I'm just sleeping" ...........

"I'm going to sleep now!" I say in my bed covers, when I was just a kid.." I'm going to sleep now.." I say with the pills ln my hand. With every memories I've made in my whole life all that I can remember are the painful ones. I wish I just didn't grow matured for this.....

"As a kid I've always wished to grow up fast, to grow more height and be more mature... But now I wish I've never even grow at all... I wish I've never realised how scary this world is..."

"Like how love just suddenly come to us...., Life is something I've never asked for..."

"I've tried" I said with the pills on my hand.." I've really tried so hard... But I wished I never tried at all, I wish I just enjoy every little things that happened...."

"Now all that is left for is to go in this cold, dark room with no one else with me..." I said as I let out a small chuckle...."

I looked at the window as the sun starts to set.." How can something so Freeing be so hurtful?... Goodbye everyone, may you continue your journey as mine ends here...." with that I take my last breath with a smile, as I stare at the sun

"Beautiful"......

Her P.O.V

I ran and ran and ran, I know now what he has planning "Please god… Please I ask of you ..don't take him yet... Not yet" I said in as I ran to the door of his house..

"Erick?!" I shouted "Erick?! Where are you?" as I checked every corner of his house..

"His room" I ran to his room door, with a shaky breath and a racing heart I grab the door handle and slowly twist it to open...

"Erick?" I said as I opened the door, I saw him laid in his bed, I moved closer to him, "His sleeping..." I let out a relief sigh and chuckles..... But then I saw the pills roll to my feet. Then the realization hit me" He's asleep........ No...no...NO!NO!NO!!... It can't be" I said as I let out a crying heart......

Then I slowly looked at the window and saw the sun set... "As the sun disappeared, so does he... Leaving only a memory of him being in pain in this world..." I said as I hug his body in the bed

"Rest now"...........

Life is full of unexpected things… Life is short they say, you should cherish the people around you and every little things you have, they say... Like how I said life is full of unexpected things, but I didn't know that, that unexpected thing will be bad...

Her P.O.V

"I'm here today in a car with my beloved.... We're going on a trip you see, however this might be the last... You might find yourself asking where we are going, well we're going somewhere, where we made almost everything of our memories together. This trip is so important to me that I.... I-I-......"

.........

"Let me tell you guys my secret... Well where do I start?... I'm a kind person, a child and ....... a Lover. Well what can I say I grow up in an environment where I have to be selfless... My beloved is the one that made me realize that I'm important as everyone else. The one that treated me like I'm his whole world... He was the one that helped me to overcome my depression, sadness, anxiety.... He helped me to pursue my dreams. With him by my side it feels like I can do anything, well felt... Let me tell you about my family. My parents , they've never wanted me since the day I was born, well maybe because I'm not a boy, so when my brother was born they were really happy... In a very young age I've already been matured not because I want to but because I needed to... My parents are my nightmare, ....All my life I've never known I'll be able to find someone like him, he's like a dream, a dream I never ever want to wake up from.... But like how every dream comes to an end so does mine."

"Did you know that when a person truly loves another they would be so willing to do anything for them?...

Maybe because he loved me a little too much that it pained him to see me every night being so guilty and crying for refusing my parents because of their request... It was a selfish decision I've ever made in my entire life, it was the first time I even made a decision for myself, and it will be the last..."

As I continue to our journey, I stared at the window remembering every memory we've made together... from the very first confession of our love, to every hug... To our first and last kiss.

Then I suddenly remember the reason for all of this, my family... Because of their unreasonable and impossible request that all of this happened, they've requested my.....

.... Heart ....

They said my brother needed them, but they didn't even think that I needed it too, because of that.......

That my beloved one gave his heart for my brother, because of that very reason that he is now beside me in an urn....

As an ash

Which leads me to go to our final destination.

As a kid I used to say "I'm coming," as I ran late to class, .....

"Now my love, I'm coming," I said running into the cliff....

"We can be together again but this time forever"
