You

Ueda Tatsuya is his name. He’s my closest friend in the whole wide world. We’ve been best friends since we were one year old. We went to the same school and were in the same class. We’d never fight. I love Tatsuya the most.

Tatsuya has a very delicate feature. I think he’s the most beautiful kid in our class. Even the teachers said so. But Tatsuya never like to be called beautiful. He said it sound girly. And he said he’s not girly. While I agree that Tatsuya is not girly but I still think he’s beautiful. Not that I’m going to tell him that, Tatsuya will be very mad, I know.

Tatsuya and I live next to each other. We’re neighbor. My room is actually facing his room. We always talk to each other before we went to sleep. Tatsuya is so fun to be with. I love talking to him. Did I mention that I love Tatsuya the most?

Me

Well, who am I? My name is Nishikido Ryo. I’m going to be eight years old soon. Tatsuya always call me Ryo-chan. I think it’s kinda cute and special. But don’t tell anyone I said that. If you tell, I’ll deny it. And then I’m going to beat you up.

The old ladies always say that I’m adorable and cute. Well, I agree of course. And because of that I always get what I want. After all, who can resist the most adorable kid in the neighborhood?

Actually I want to tell you a story about me and Tatsuya.  You see, Tatsuya and I have never fight with each other until one day, it happens.

I was walking home from school that day. As I walk past the park where I used to play with Tatsuya when we were little, I saw Tatsuya. At first I wanted to call him until I saw he’s with one of the bully in school. I’ve already warned him about the bully, but what is Tatsuya doing with him. And didn’t I also tell him not to fight with the bully.

Then I saw them walking toward the bridge that we had to cross to get home. Somehow I get this funny feeling that something was about to happen. And I was right, as I follow them, I saw them arguing. And then, the bully starts to push Tatsuya and Tatsuya push him back. After the pull and push and a bit of a fight, somehow the bully manage to push Tatsuya making him falls into the river. I’ve become panic because Tatsuya can’t swim. I don’t even remember when exactly I jumped into the river because in my mind, I just wanted to save Tatsuya.

Us

“Ryo-chan….Ryo-chan, come on, don’t be like this. I said I’m sorry.” I heard Tatsuya calling me outside my window. I refused to take a look. I know I can’t resist it went Tatsuya pouts and before you know it, I will gave in to him and forgive him. No, I refused. I won’t let Tatsuya win. This time I will show Tatsuya that I’m really, really mad at him.

“Ryo-chaaan…” Was that a sad tone I heard in your voice, Tatsuya? No, Ryo, you promise yourself not to give in, remember. Then I went to my bed, pretending to sleep, wondering what I should do tomorrow when I faced Tatsuya.

Hah, finally I manage to ignore you the whole day, Tatsuya. Not that it was an easy thing to do since we’re in the same class. I am so close to give in and forgive you when I take a look at your sad face. But I say to myself, this is for your own good, Tatsuya. If not you’re going to do it again and maybe the next time it happens I could really die from the heart attack. You don’t know how much you scared me when you fell down like that. I never been that scared in my life, well maybe that’s a little lie, I still scare of the monster under my bed but what scared me the most is when I thought you won’t be there for me anymore. I don’t want to lose you, Tatsuya.

So now here I am, on my bed, thinking what are you doing now since I’m no longer talking to you, Tatsuya. Usually at this time we were talking endlessly about everything either in my room or yours. But today is different, ne. I miss talking to you, Tatsuya.

“Ryo-chan, I know you’re still mad at me. So, I want to sing this song especially for you.” Then, I heard the music. Tatsuya, you seriously going to sing for me? I went to the window instantly. There I saw you standing in the backyard with a radio by your side with a large lollipop in his hand. My mouth watered when I looked at the candy because you seem purposely chooses my favorite flavor. It was then I heard your sweet voice.

“You know I can’t smile without you.

I can’t smile without you

I can’t laugh and I can’t sing

I find it hard to do anything

You see I feel sad when you’re sad

I feel glad when you’re glad

If you only knew what I’m going through

I just can’t smile without you

You came along just like a song

And brightened my day

Who would’ve believed that you were part of a dream

Now it all seem like years away

And now you know I can’t smile without you

I can’t smile without you

I can’t laugh and I can’t sing

I find it hard to do anything

You see I feel sad when you’re sad

I feel glad when you’re glad

If you only knew what I’m going through

I just can’t smile without you”

I don’t remember how or when I went out but as the song end, I already in front of you. I just can’t believe that you really sing for me. My heart feel like it’s going to burst anytime now.

“Ryo-chan, you came down. Ryo-chan, I’m sorry. I’m sorry I ignored you. I’m sorry for not listening to you. Please Ryo-chan, forgive me. I don’t want Ryo-chan to ignore me anymore. I miss Ryo-chan so much.” Your eyes have already filled with tears. Oh, Tatsuya, no, don’t cry. You know I can’t bear to see you cry.

“Tatsuya, don’t cry please. I forgive you, just don’t cry, ok.” I said to you. And I can see hope fill your eyes. “Really, Ryo-chan? You promise not to ignore me anymore, okay.” Ah, there’s the pout that I can’t resist. Why do you have to be so cute, Tatsuya.

“I promise but you also must promise me something.” You nodded eagerly. I smirk inwardly. “Never ever do that dangerous thing again, ok. I don’t want you to be hurt.” I said. Then you gave me that oh so brilliant smile of yours, the smile that I always love. “I promise, Ryo-chan.” And you hug me. I love your hug; make me feel like the most important person to you. “Here, this lollipop is for you.” I take the large lollipop from you, but I’m already planning to share it with you.

“Come, let’s go to my room. Then we can eat this lollipop together.” I said leading you to my room, upstairs. I’m glad we didn’t fight anymore because I miss you too much when you’re not with me.

Author’s Note: In case some of you didn’t know about the song, it is call Can’t smile without You by Barry Manilow. I was going to put the link here but it seems like the internet didn’t agree with me.*sigh*
