The Last Letter

You know how people always talk about love letters? And how they live happily ever after? Well, mine is the last letter, and trust me, I'll never live happily ever after again. Why? Well, all stories have a beginning, and this is mine...

Alright, I wasn't born miserable. I had a perfectly happily life until like 5 months ago. I dated a boy which all the girls would wish they had, a happy family, no annoying siblings and perfect grades. But the thing is, all good stuff have to come to an end.

It was this really stormy night, and I was in my bedroom, right after dinner( mashed potato, grilled beef and brussel sprouts- blegh!) chatting with Tanya, my best friend. When this e-mail notification popped up, I opened it, thinking it would be yet another lovey-dovey love letter, or should I say e-mail, written by Samuel, my boyfriend. But when I opened it, my mind went blank.

Dear Renee,
I'm sorry but... I think we should have some time off. We've been dating for 1 and a half years already but nothing's come out of  it. I think I need some time to think. Let's break up.
Samuel

Tears dripped down my cheeks like a waterfall( alright, I may be exaggerating a little). My heart was shattered into smithereens. Nothing wrong had happened between us! Why would he suddenly want to break up? Was there a third party? I started instant messaging Tanya, telling her about the big news

Tanya134: What?! oh no he did not! Don't waste your time and tears on him. He's not worth it. There are other fishes in the sea

I knew she was right, but something just stopped me from finding another person.

Renee_lovessamuel: I know you're right, but I really can't! Even though I wan't to so badly!

Three months passed, and Samuel and I had not contacted each other. Then, I decided to give in and swallow my pride. I went up to his house( he lives alone, rented the house), and knocked on the door. A beautiful lady answered it.

"yes? how may I help you?" she asked.
"May I speak to samuel?"
When I heard what she said, I just fell apart. It could not be! I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT!

renee_lovessamuel: Tanya, I went to look for Samuel today
Tanya134: really? What'd he say?
renee_lovessamuel: I didn't see him. A lady answered the door
Tanya134: what? a third party?
renee_lovessamuel: No... he's... he's... dead

So that's it. The break up was just to stop me from feeling too sad. He knew he was going to die soon, he wanted to ease my pain. If only I had swallowed my pride earlier. Now, it's too late...
