"What..." My heart aches at the words written on the note. I grab my heart, trying to stop the pain but the more time my eyes spent on it, I grew more sadder by the second. I fall to my knees and start crying out of control. "Why... Why would say something like that after my heart has been set for you? Why would you say that after you've kissed me to see me happy? Why... Why.... Out of all times, you have to say something so disheartening. I was so worried about you and this is what you say to me after caring for you so much..." I got up, shut the curtains, walk back to my bed, lay down, and curl up into a ball, crying my heart out.

"Celestia?" My mom calls to me. I didn't answer. I hear her walking up the stairs to my room. I hear a knock on the door and then her voice," Celestia, you're going to be late for school. How long are you going to keep sleeping? Celestia..." My mother opens the door and walks in. "What are you doing? You're going to be late." She walks to the window and spread the curtain. She sees the note on the window. She reads it and now knows why I'm like this.

I hear her open the window, take the note off the window, and tear the note up. She closes the curtains and tells me,"I'm going to call the school saying you're not going to school today, okay?" I didn't respond back but she knows the answer to that anyway. She throws the remains of the note in my trashcan and closes the door behind her. In my mind at the moment, was a series of questions of 'what ifs'. Each 'what if' question became sadder and darker. I don't know what to do at the moment. I'm lost and hurt. Judging from the note, he manage to get release from the hospital last night. Now he's somewhere either hiding from me or killing demons.

I got up again but more depressed this time. I painstakingly grab some house clothes and walk out my room to go take a really long bath. I sit in my bathtub for a long time just being sad and thinking of really negative thoughts. I get out of the tub, dry myself, get dress, and walk out the bathroom. I head downstairs and it seems like my mom went to work. There was nothing to do but mope around and think, why would he say something like that after getting so close to him.

Hours later, I decided to go to the supermarket to go buy snacks. I walk to the front door of my house, put on some shoes and head on to the market. I walk to the market with my head looking down at the sidewalk with my hands in my pocket, still thinking. When I got to the market's parking lot, I stop right in the middle and decided that the next time I see him, I will tell him that I love him and why did he say such sad words. I look up with my determination and realizes that I'm in front of his work. "Doesn't he work here... then..." I walk up to the windows and look through. I see him working with bunch of customers. He looks fine like nothing has ever happened to him.

I walk inside the store and get what I wanted. I bring up my stuff to his cashier. He sees me and turns away for a few seconds and looks back at me and smiles. "Skylar... can I talk to you later like... after work perhaps?" He writes to me,"Sorry, I'm busy."

"What about tonight then?"

"Busy."

"I know... I just want an honest talk with you, that's all."

"Is it because of 'that'..."

"Yes." He was hesitant to write any further. "Hey Skylar, thanks for covering for me. You may go now." It was the same lady from last time. "Oh! it's you how's things been?"

"Well..."

"Hm? Skylar what did you do to her?" She snarls at him. "No no. He didn't do anything wrong."

"O-okay. Well, Skylar you can head on home now."

"Huh? I thought he's working today?"

"No, it's still his day off. Tomorrow is when he goes back to work. He's been filling me in for me because it takes some time for me to get here."

"Oh, I see." We look back at Skylar and he had his head down in a depressing manner.

"What's wrong with you?" He waves her off tell in her it's nothing and raises his head up. He finishes up my scanning my stuff and let his coworker work. "Come by again." She saids as she waves to us goodbye. Skylar and I now stand in the parking lot not knowing what to do. "Want to come over and talk..." He didn't reply back so I grab his hand and lead him back to my house.

We walk up the steps to my house. Just as I was going to open the door, he pushes me inside and shuts the door. I scramble to my feet and open the door. I try to open the door but he was holding it from the other side. "Why Skylar! Why! Why did you leave that note on my window last night? I thought we had something going on. Was that smile three days ago mean anything or was it a fake smile like all your other ones? I was so worried about you when you got badly injured. My mother and I took care of you when you got poison. Did that kiss, on that day, mean anything to you... I was so happy when you kissed me... I truly was.... If you didn't save me on that day, I wouldn't be here today. You protected a complete stranger at that time but now, we are friends. I want to be more than friends though. I want to be with you for the rest of my life. I love you, Skylar. I truly do."

I sink to my knees and lean against the door with my back facing it. "I love you... Does those words mean anything to you..." I bring my knees close to my chest and hug them. Tears are falling down my cheeks like rain. On the other side of the door, I hear him tearing a piece of paper. He slid the piece of paper underneath the door to me. I pick it up and it says,"I know that you love me. I love you too, but..." Those three words didn't me anything to me unless I knew why he was pushing me away. "But what..." I said to him. He slides in another piece of paper and it reads,"If we were together, I would always have you on my mind. How to keep you happy, how to care for you, I would do anything to see you happy even if it means hurting both of us."

Another paper comes through."How can I demon hunt properly if I had you on my mind? What would happen if I died because I saw your smiling face appears right before my eyes after a crucial moment? As much as I want to be with you too, I can't risk seeing you get hurt. You're a very important person to me but in order to protect you, I have to keep you out of my mind when I'm demon hunting."

I grip the papers and cry more. "Is this what it means to have a forbidden love... Should we not see each other anymore..." A piece of paper comes through,"I think we should..." I cried at his reply but I think it's true. If he died, then it would've been my fault. I hear the door open and when I turn around, I saw him crying too. He kneels down to me and holds my face with both of his hands. I touch his hands and try to remember the warmth it gives off. I look back to him and the last thing I shouldn't expect, happens. He leans towards me and kisses me. His lips were so warm and sweet. He holds on to me and I hold on to him. I push him closer to me so that I can remember our supposedly last moment together.

He pulls back at me so that he can see my face. He wipes the tears away from my eyes and I did the same for him. "I-I'm going to miss you..." He writes to me and the note says,"Me two. Will you always remember me?"

"In my dreams, in my fantasies, in my memories, anywhere. You will always be my first love and nothing can take your spot. Will you remember me as well?" He kisses me again for a long time. I think this was his way of telling me that he will remember me. He picks me up and brings me to the couch. He sets me down on the couch and I was wondering what was he going to do. "Skylar..." He sits next me and writes,"Can I hold you one last time before we leave each other?" I nod my head and get closer to him. As I get closer to him, he begins to lay down and allows me to get on top of him. I lay down on top of him and I feel him wrap his arms around me. He's so warm. I'm going to miss this and him altogether but, it's for the best...

He continues to hold me in this sad but romantic way. My heart was still aching and I'm pretty sure it's the same for him too. I snuggle up closer to him where can lean my head near his. He moves sideways and I fall to his side. Now I was laying beside him. We stare into each other's eyes and I said,"Why can't we just be together? I don't want to let you go. I want you to be my side, forever! I just can't bear to see you walk away. Please! Skylar, can we just run away together?"

He shakes his head and hugs me. "Please... My heart needs you... I need you..." I beg him to stay. I get on top of him again and hold his hands down. He tries to get free but I kept my grip tight. I lean in close to him but I didn't kiss him. I was deeply sad and I was staring into his eyes. He sees my eyes and stops trying to get it free. "Please, Skylar..." tears came out and landed on his glass white skin. He turns his head away from me. I let go of his hands and cup his face with my hands. This time I lean in towards him and kiss him. My hands leave his face and start to thread my fingers with his together. I pull back from him and said,"I love you." He sits up and writes,"I love you, too, Celestia." He gets up and walks to the door. He turns to me and smiles. He shows me a pre-written which only says,"Goodbye."
