(Tyson_v7) Love Charm; Part 4
So days after days have passed by. We are knowing more about each other. Meyrin and me are getting very closer to each other too. We are like the couple of the year. Woo I like that idea. In the meantime, Lina also have a new boyfriend, Ken was his name. well i guess all well and ends well. We all have been working hard to get our loved ones and we did it.

So one year have passed by. Now in secondary two. Because of my pathetic results, I'll have to seperate from Meyrin who have a way higher results. Ken is in my class too. While Lina is in the same class as Meyrin. I'm so sad..Never mind..Next year must do better to be in the same class next year. Well at least there is Lina there. She can help me observe if any guys are hitting on Meyrin. I'm so prepared to destroy the guys who lay even one finger at her. Well I'm doing the same for Lina too. I'm sure she wants me to help her watch over Ken to see whether Ken is flirting around with other girls in our new class.

At first things are still normal. You know the usual stuff. Meyrin went to recess together with me. We wnet home together. We went out together during weekends. But lately something is wrong. Meyrin keep ongiving me excuses like she is very busy. I try to undertsand her so I did not suspect much although Lina already tell me that Meyrin is close to a boy named Davis in the new class. However I choose to put my faith and trust towards Meyrin.

That is until one day...

It was recess time. Davis suddenly came to my class and asked me to follow him. He said it was something important that he wanted to discuss about.....

So I followed him. He asked me to break up with Metrin. He said that Meyrin deserved better guys then me. Well then I said that Meyrin likes me and we've been together for a year already. Why would she wants to break up now? He said let settle this in a fight. Who ever loses will have to break up with Meyrin. When i heard that it sounds like Meyrin is two-timing. However I choose not to believe that. But I also disapprove this barbaric way of settling things so I did not accept his challenge. He got angry and aimed a punch at me.

All i did was dodge that is until one of his punches hit my lips. Blood was ticking from my lips. That's when I decided to fight back. Then coincidentally Meyrin appeared. She asked the both of us to stop fighting. Then Davis asked her to break up with me at that point of time. I still put my faith at her. But reality is more cruel than i thought. Meyrin really broke up with me. She said she deserved a guy which can match in therms of smarts and abilty in academic performance. I tried to deny it. I asked why must she break up with me in this manner,

She did not listen. She ignored me. I sank to my knees. Deep in despair. Recess was over. Both of them went back to class holding hands. I don't feel like going to class. So i went up to the rooftop in a daze. Refusing to accept the truth...

(Willow) Love in the Time of AIDS; Part 2
LOVE IN THE TIME OF AIDS

"One day, i am sure you will wake up and i shall be the first person you will see." Giselle heard a mutter, a distant murmur that seemed to be echoing perpetually then slowly fading away. Giselle turned, hoping to find someone, yet all that was just another futile attempt. She was still in the same room; white, empty and hollow. No matter how hard she called for help, there was no one. She was all alone.

Her only comfort came whenever there were sounds. Faint though they were, yet they brought her solace. Voices belonging to her loved ones, she could still recognise them. Despite so, Giselle could not trace the source of the voices. She could feel them, but they always sounded so far away.

"It's time for me to go." Giselle heard faint footsteps, then finally, there was no more. "No! Please don't go! Harper! Where are you?" Giselle shouted frantically, running towards the direction where she last heard the footstep.

"Harper! Please don't leave me alone... Please don't abandon me yet again.." Giselle gasping for air, her eyes brimming with tears. She stopped running, dropping on the floor in despair.

She was all alone now.
No more faint voices, no more soft footsteps.

Nothing.
What left was a compelling silence. A menacing silence that seemed almost malicious.

The radiant white colour of the room began ebbing away, slowly being replaced by a grey tint. The grey hue intensified, turning into a full-bloom black.

Darkness reigned.
Despair abound.

She felt every fibre of her being devoured by the overwhelming despair that surrounded her. Never in her life had Giselle felt this helpless, this afraid, this lonely. Her heart ached for Harper's presence, his presence would erase the staggering tide of loneliness in her soul.

Giselle did not know how long had she sobbed, cowering at the corner of the black room. Suddenly, she heard a voice. A voice belonging to her father. The dark shade of the room was instantly lit. "No, we could no longer afford to have our hearts broken time and again. We have been waiting for her to wake up for the past five years!These years, she has not blinked nor twitched her finger. Let us not have anymore false hope." Her father's severe baritone voice sounded louder. The sounds, they were no longer muffled. They sounded much clearer now.

"No! We can't kill her!" She heard her mother sobbed. Giselle felt a compelling force in her to reach out to her mother.

Almost... almost... Giselle thought, feeling determined to overcomee immobility.

The ceilings began crumbling and the pillars slowly collapsed. Debris began teetering like drizzle. Suddenly a door appeared. She mustered every tinge of energy, determined to turn the knob. Her mother's sobs and incessant pleasings were louder. Giselle's heart pounded with the intensity of toppling stones. The door would not budge, still. Driven to the edge of desperation, she tried knocking it down.

"Almost," she thought.

Just as the door finally gave in, the doctor took away all the medical equipments attached to her.

Giselle saw the room disappearing, vanishing into the air, seemingly being devoured by darkness. The door faded away. Her heart rate slowed, her energy drained. Loneliness began flooding her, once more. Darkness, was the last thing she saw.

"Giselle!" with a cry of anguish, Giselle's mother wailed her name for the last time. She had lost her daughter forever. Not to AIDS, but to time.

A drop of tear flowed down Giselle's cheeks. Her only tear in these five years. She could no longer shed them now. Her eye lids closed forever.

(Willow) Love in the Time of AIDS; Part 1
CHAPTER 1
time. love and lost.





Dear Harper

I am sorry.
Perhaps we shouldn't see each other again.
Perhaps we shouldn't have met each other.
Perhaps we shouldn't have loved each other.

Perhaps,
we are never meant to be.

I am sorry.
I really am.

LoveYours truly,
Giselle


Giselle scribbled on a piece of paper. With tears welling up in her eyes, she left her seat and headed towards the door with one intention on her mind - disappear. To disappear before Harper returns. To disappear before her tear drop cascades. To disappear before her heart aches too much to leave him.

She has to leave. She has to leave him before any more harm befalls unto him. By disappearing, she thought, is the only way. The only way.

__________

That was 3 years ago.
3 years had came and passed us by. Too long a time had lapsed. She left, and she has returned.

3 years ago, she would have done anything for him. An impressionable girl she was, so easily moved by the arrow of some flippant love.
