"I promise I will grow up with you until we're older no matter what happens". - Lucas
"I will keep our promises until we're getting old and will be here waiting forever". - Olive
"Lucas!!!", she woke up from a dream she had since that incident. It's been 11 years passing by, but she still can't forget him. She missing him like every second, every time and every of her breath. She keep waiting for him and hoping he will come one day. No one ever know he's existed in her. Only she and him knows.
Many years ago, there are boys and girls who have been close friends since they were kids. Their first meet is when Lucas as 7 years old boy moved to Brussel, Belgium. He and his family lived besides Olive's house. So yeah, they're neighborhood but, as the day passing by they become closed and make a promise to grow old together forever without even realize how cruel the world is. They spent their time together like every time, they goes in the same class and everything is same, it's just Lucas and Olive. They even make a promised that they won't be friends with others, only them because they thought they're enough for eachother.
As they turned to 11 years old, they still the same and many people thought that they're couple. A sweet couple which everyone in that town wanna be. Without they realise that they both shared the same feeling of eachother. For him, Olive is more than enough and how's she's too.
One day, while on the way home from school..."Olive, I wanna say something" - Lucas. "What is it", (wondering face) - Olive. Lucas look into her eyes deeply just like it's his last time to see those brown eyes and cute cheeks. Olive waiting for him to say something but dunno why she feels so different that time. She looks into his eyes, it's just like saying something that she had no clue what is it. "Let's have a sit first there then we talk okay?" - Olive. Lucas nodded. They sat. "Olive, actually I've been keeping this for so long but I had no courage to say it because I'm afraid that you will hate me" - Lucas. Olive looked at him with a wondering face like what is it??? What is he wanna say actually??? "I LOVE YOU OLIVE" - Lucas. She was shocked with that words. She's blank but she's happy at the same time cus Lucas feel the same as her. She hugged him. Tightly. She want time to stop right now. "I LOVE YOU TOO LUCAS" - Olive. "Don't say TOO, it's feel like I forced you to love me". They both laughing together and enjoying that moment together like that day only for them.
After that day, they become more closer than before. But, they're not couple yet. They decided to be a BFF and will move forward to it when they both having a stable life they for them in that age it's too young for them in relationship. It's Sunday, they spend time together like usual. They decided to play badminton. They laughed happily but it's like there's something off and hidden in his that no one ever know what is it. "Cmon Olive, I know u can't beat me" - Lucas. They playing with so much fun and enjoying that moment together. Tingggg!! The shuttlecock fell down on the road after Lucas hit the smash hardly. "Wait Olive, lemme take it" - Lucas. They looked at eachother and smiled. He running to get shuttlecock fastly but then....
Dummmmm!!!!....She got shocked of that sounds then turned around... LUCAS!!!!!!! She ran towards him as fast as she can. Tears started to falling too. "No no no please Lucas. HELPPPPPP" She's screaming out of her lung. GRANNY, AUNTIE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!! SOMEBODY PLEASE CALL THE AMBULANCE!!!! The neighborhood come out to see what happening then they run towards them, trying to help. She's crying and keep screaming like a crazy girl. Ambulance came and took him to hospital. "LUCAS PLEASE DON'T DIE" She keep saying that words and that town full of her voice and tears on that day. Until suddenly everything seems so blur.
2022... ( Her current POV )
As the time goes by, I'm still here missing you and still here waiting for you, hoping you will come to me one day which is something impossible to hope for. I still remember how I begged everyone to make you alive again. I remember how much I blamed the doctors, the driver who hit you. I remember my words to him..."PLEASE CHANGE YOUR LIFE TO HIM...I DON'T WANNA LOSE HIM... HE'S EVERYTHING FOR ME". It's crazy whenever I remembered everything I did on that darkest days in my life. I even begged God to give him back to me. I remember my shirt was full of his blood and I can't never forget how hard these years for me to move on and be a normal girl again.
And yeah, this is me now. Staying alone and keep waiting for someone that won't never come. I feel like time is so cruel. And that's how God too. Where I am it's feels like winter and this August feel like December. I remember how he taught me the beautiful of the world. How wonderful people outside there. But, I just hate things goes between me and him cuz it never allow me to just hold his warm hand and his smile.
It's just how much longer do I wait and how many sleepless nights remain until I see himand meet him again. I feel like every snowflakes are falling, he's getting farther away from me. I feel like I lose everything on the day he gone forever. He's the missing piece that I'll never found even wherever I go. IT'S JUST I MISSING HIM EVERY MOMENT OF MY LIFE EVEN RIGHT NOW.
