I Love You Not

 

Part 1

Boy: Baby, we need to talk.
Girl: Ricardo, what do u mean?
Boy: Something crop up...
Girl: What? What's wrong? Is it bad?
Boy: I don't want to hurt you, baby.
Girl: *Thinks* Oh my God, I hope he doesn’t break up with me... I love him so much.
Boy: Baby, are you there?
Girl: Yeah, I'm here. What is so important?
Boy: I'm not sure if I should say it...
Girl: Well, you already brought it up, so please just tell me.
Boy: I'm leaving...
Girl: Baby, what are u talking about? I don't want you to leave me, I love you.
Boy: Not like that, I mean I'm moving far away.
Girl: Why? Your whole family lives over here.
Boy: Well, my father is sending me away to a boarding school far away.
Girl: I can't believe this.

Father: (Picks up the other phone, interrupts and yells furiously) Erica! What did I tell you about talking to boys?! Get off the damn phone!! (And he hangs up).

Boy: Wow, your father sounds really mad.
Girl: You know how he gets mad. Anyway, I don’t want you to go.
Boy: Would you run away with me?
Girl: Baby, you know I would, I would do anything for you, but I can't... You don't know what would happen if I did. My dad would kill me!
Boy: *Sad* Its okay... I guess I understand...
Girl: *Thinking* I can't believe what's going on.
Boy: I need to give you something tonight because I am leaving on Flight 1-80 in the morning so I need to see you now.
Girl: Okay, I will sneak out and meet you at the park.
Boy: Okay, I'll meet you there in twenty minutes.

[They meet at a nearby park and gave each other a tight hug. He gives her a note.]
Boy: Here you go. This is for you. I got to go.

Girl: *Tearing* (Begins to cry.)
Boy: Baby, don’t cry, you know I love you... But I have to go.
Girl: Okay (Begins to walk away.)

[They both go home. Erica reads the letter he gave her]

It says...

"Erica,

You probably already know that I'm leaving. I knew this would be better if I wrote you a letter explaining the truth about how much I care about you. The truth is, is that I never loved you, I hated you so much, you are my bitch and don’t you ever forget that. I never cared about you, and never wanted to talk to you, and be around you. You really have no clue about how much I hate you. Now that I'm leaving I thought you should know that I hate you, bitch. You never did the right thing, and you were never there. I didn’t think I could hate someone as much as I hate you. And I never want to see you, for the rest of my life, I will never miss kissing you like before, I never want to cuddle up like how we used to. I will not miss you and that's a promise. You never had my love, and I want you to remember that. Bitch, you keep this letter because this may be the last thing you have from me. Fuck, I hate you so much. I will not talk to you soon bitch... Goodbye.

- Ricardo"

[Erica throws the paper into the garbage bag and cries for hours.]

A day passes. She is sad, depressed and she feels so lonely. She gets a phone call....

Friend: How are you feeling?
Girl: I just can’t believe this happened… I thought he loved me.
Friend: Oh, with regards to that letter. Ricardo left me a message a few days ago. He told me to tell you to look in your jacket pocket or something...
Girl: Umm... Okay.

[She finds a piece of paper in the jacket.]

It says…

"Baby I hope you find this before you read my letter. I knew your dad might read it so I switched a few words...
Hate = Love
Never = Always
Bitch = Baby
Will not = Will

.... I hope you didn't take that seriously because I love you with all my heart and it was so hard to let you go. That’s why I wanted you to run away with me...

-Ricardo"

Girl: Oh my God! It's a love letter! Ricardo does love me! He must have slipped the note into my pocket when he hugged me. I can't believe how stupid I am!
Friend: Lol! Okay, but I got to go. Call me later.
Girl: *Happy* Okay, bye. I'll be at home waiting for my baby to call me!

[Erica turns the T.V. on]

[Breaking news]

"An airplane has crashed. Over 47 young boys died and we are still searching for survivors... This is a tragedy we will never forget. The plane that crashed is Flight 1-80. It was on its way to an all boys boarding school..." the Reporter says.

[She turns off the T.V. ... Three days later, she kills herself because Ricardo is dead and she has nothing to live for...]

One day after, her phone rang. Nobody answers. It was Ricardo. He left a message after being connected to the answering machine.

"Its Ricardo, I guess you're not home. I called to let you know that I'm alive. I missed my flight because I had to see you one last time. I hope you are not worried. I am staying for good."
