“I Love You” by Madison B



     I was walking home from work one night on the phone with my boyfriend when out of the blue he asked me if I loved him. I honestly didn’t know if I did I mean we had only been dating for a few months. Every time I asked why he was asking he would talk over me and ask me over and over if I loved him. I told him that I didn’t love him because it was too soon and suddenly the line went dead. I was so confused why he had asked after only a couple of months… did he love me? When I got home I was so tired I just went to bed without any thoughts of the crazy phone call I just had. When I woke up the next morning I was startled to see the long message I had from my boyfriend. It said “Hey baby I’m sorry for acting so strange on the phone I just had to know if you felt the same way… I’ve loved you since the day I laid my eyes on you. You’re my life, my world, my everything. I understand that it’s soon but I love you and if people ask about us I’ll tell them were fine. See you soon love.” After reading his message I realized how blind I was and knew that I had to tell him soon that I loved him back, so I threw on clothes as fast as I could and drove to his house. When I got there I was instantly worried when I saw an ambulance and a few cop cars outside. When I knocked on the door I was surprised to see his mom crying. I asked her what was wrong but she didn’t answer she only hugged me and cried harder while muttering incoherent words. My heart stopped when I saw her move away for the paramedics to pull my boyfriend out of the house strapped to a gurney. When I turned back to ask her what happened I saw her and her husband busy with the cops so I followed the ambulance to the hospital and waited and waited and waited until finally the doctor call me and his parents over. I asked him if he was okay and all he said was that they tried as hard as they could to save him. That’s when I tuned everything out and fell to the floor screaming and crying asking the doctor for it not to be true. I jolted awake when I heard someone yell, “ANNIE WAKE UP! WAKE UP LOVE!!” when I opened my eyes I saw my boyfriend and I started crying happy tears knowing that I was only dreaming. I hugged him as tight as I could and looked up at him and said “I love you, I love you so much.” He looked at me like I was crazy but smiled, kissed my forehead, and said “I love you too, now let’s get back to sleep.” Before I fell asleep I whispered “never let me go babe I love you to the moon and back, forever and always.”

  2. Omg that is just so cute, I can't even. Love the plot twist I was like oh no he died this cannot be happening but you almost got me. I was so relieved it was just a dream. And I found it so cute when this whole time they just went to sleep with each other and she woke up from her bad dream with her in his arms. I love it's so different you don't find short stories like this. Great job.

  4. I like this piece based on the fact the ideal message was that you don't know what you have until it's gone. Having a nightmare about your loved one is common and this can relate to me personally. It was cute and short to the point :)

  6. This piece was very cute and interesting. It caused me to shed a tear cause I thought he really did die because of how descriptive you made the story. Honestly, I could say I've sent a message like the one the boyfriend sent and it made my girlfriend's day just like in the story. This piece is very relatable because of how the boyfriend acts and cares for the girlfriend because I see a parallel with my own relationship because I care about my girlfriend like the guy in the story. Great job and I liked how concise your piece was.

  7. This story was very well written, so much so that I would rate very highly if I was a critic. Anyway, this story teaches us that we don't really know what we have until it is gone. Again, very good story. Keep writing!

  8. I loved how short and sweet this was. You wrote just enough to get your point across. I was thankful for it to only be a dream because that would have been very sad. There was a lot of detail used, which made it very easy to visualize the story.

  10. Madison,
    I enjoy the clear moral of the story that highlights the importance of expressing your feelings before it is too late. The little twists and turns you add into the story adds to its intrigue as your readers are brought to new and different destinations. The main character's insight within your piece embodies real human emotion of confusion, extreme despair, relief, and most importantly, love. Overall you did a wonderful job, keep it up!

  20. This piece honestly stuck some nerves. It makes you appreciate the time you have with someone because they could be gone the next moment. I think you did a very good job of capturing that theme.
