Deathly Love

Iris, a simple girl who wanted to forget, but the memory that haunts her the most returns on her so called 'special' day

I though today was gonna be perfect, it was my birthday and it had been exactly three years since the...uh...accident. I woke up that morning in bed still feeling the empty space next to me. I remember his smile that use to greet me warmly. I picked myself up, finding a note on my night stand.
Happy Birthday, follow the arrows it read. I smiled a bit at my mothers handwriting. I got up and threw on my robe, opening the door and looking around. I immediately found a badly cut purple arrow hanging on the wall, pointing to the shower. I went inside and came to a calming bath smelling of Jasmine flowers, new clothes on the sink and different lotions from Bath n Body Works. I bathed happy that the amazing scents filled my nostril. I sunk into the bath feeling all troubles melt away. My fuzzy black hair in the afro it was and I began to wash it thoroughly. My black skin reminded many of chocolate my favorite candy. Once finished I rinsed off and changed into the new clothes, wearing a black shirt with a cute Godzilla on it with black parachute pants on. I let my afro out, spraying it and clipping a small blue hat on top, long ribbon going down my back. I looked at myself, thinking I looked outrageously adorable. I came out, finding another arrow pointing towards the kitchen, I follow only to be surprised by the shooting of confetti and happy faces of my family members. They hugged me, kissed my cheek and began to celebration. My face lightened at the people before me, all there for me every step of the way. We ate cake for breakfast and I was surprised when they told me the my friends and I would be staying at a hotel, eating at a fancy restaurant and shopping the next day. I clapped happily, excited for my presents to come.

I was in my car, my friends squealing in glee around me. The hotel was beautiful as we pulled in, all of us filing out and grabbing out bags as we ran inside. We'd be staying at the Compass and eating inside its rotating restaurant. Coming to our spacious room we called a bed and jumped up and down, dancing around and turning the radio on high, singing and outrageously high pitches making each other laugh. My mom left us, giving me a kiss on the forehead and leaving us to be just girls. I was so happy it was too good to be true...maybe it was too true.
That night, I was tossing and turning as images of that boy appeared in my dreams. This happened often after he left his world. I got out of bed and went to the balcony, letting the night breeze take me away down memory lane

"What's your name?"
"Iris, how bout you?"
"...Yoshi."
giggle, giggle.
"What's so funny?"
"Yoshi~giggle~like in Mario."
"Well if it comes to that then I'm leaving."~turns about to leave~
"Wait, don't go!"~clinging to his long sleeved shirt desperately.~ He spun around and planted a kiss on my lips. One hand on the back of my head and the other wrapped around my waist. He liked playing with the curls in my hair.
"Wanna date me?"
"Hmm...let me think about it." ~another kiss~ "Okay, lets give it a shot. Just think and Asian dating a Black chick now that's bound to be a love story."
The boy laughed, his Justin Beiber black hair smooth, wearing a white buttoned up shirt and black jeans, skater shoes and his some what pale arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me in.I rested my head on his shoulder, closing my eyes praying this wasn't a dream.

  The moonlight shined down on me as I gazed at the stars. Yoshi, a Japanese exchange student was my boyfriend for five years and I must say they were the happiest of my life. He had passed away...I don't like talking about it. I yawned and crawled back in the bed, careful not to wake my friend in the process. I laid my head on the comfy pillow and fell asleep.

The next day was filled with happiness and promise. I went to the mall, shopping till my arms were filled with shopping bags, my smile bigger then it ever had been in years. I dropped my bags in the hotel room, surprised to see bathing suits on the beds. The wicked grins on my friends faces made me feel quite queasy. The next thing I knew, we were at the pool, splashing each other and running around. I was having the time of my life as I ran back to the hotel lobby with a towel robe around me.
"Excuse me madame." the clerk said sweetly. "This was dropped off for you."
She handed me a little pink gift basket filled with lotions, candies, candles and perfumes. I inhaled the toxins and asked "Who's it from?"
The clerk shrugged and said "Some blond came in and said it was for you."
I sat down and saw a tiny card. I took it out and looked at it. At that moment, all the happiness vanished and was replaced with grief.
He was never meant for you... it read and I recognized the handwriting. It was from a girl named Alice...a murderer...

"Leave her alone Alice!" an infuriated Yoshi screamed at the blond. The blond was trying to strangle me, I was gasping for air. Yoshi was at my side immediately, wrenching the girl off me.
"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE MINE!" Alice screamed angrily.
"GET OUT OF HERE!" Yoshi screamed back, frightening her. I was terrified, I thought Alice was trying to be friends but ended up strangling in front of my boyfriend. He brought me home and up my room where he still hugged me tightly when we sat on my bed.
"I'm okay now." I said but he just hugged tighter. He kissed me on any exposed skin making me giggle unintentionally. He carried me off to my bed, still kissing me passionately. We fell on my large comfy bed, I could feel his hand poking and stroking every part of my body and he asked "You ready?"
I nodded, my face was red at the thought as he continued to touch and kiss me all over. I didn't realize his x was watching us from the window, a murderous look on her face.


I could feel hot tears roll down my face at the memory of us loving each other so passionately. My happy day seemed rather ruined at this one little note. My friends found me crying, seeing the note they went into panic. One of them called my mom while the rest of my friends desperately tried comforting me. The image of Yoshi still raced through my mind at the thought. As I looked up, I could've sworn I saw a skeletal me standing before me, standing there with a skinny sword in my hands. She looked at me and said Live on...Yoshi would've wanted that.
Looking beside her, I saw Yoshi, my tears stopped as I saw him. He gave me that sweet smile he only saved for me as he walked towards me. He kneeled down to me and said I've always loved you Iris....I'll wait for you...

With that he disappeared and my tears stopped. I hugged my friends and I realised he wanted me to live on, even it it meant that I wouldn't be living my dreams of living with Yoshi. My hands went to my heart and I whispered "I love you Yoshi."
