Johnny has been living with his mother all his life in a small townhouse sitting on the outskirts of London, United Kingdom.
Johnny is 19 and have been suffering from cancer for a number of years, a cancer that cannot be treated and he could die at any moment. Nearly all his life, Johnny was stuck at home and his mother had taken good care of him. He seldom went out to social with his friends but since its such a Sunny day, Johnny decided to go out for a change. So he asked his mother and she gave him permission.
After dressing himself and making sure he had pocketed his wallet, he eventually left. Johnny arrives at the shopping center which was only a 15 minute walk from where he lived. The very first store that came into Johnny's vision was the CD store, he decides to go in and see if they had anything he would like.
A young girl aged 19 working at the cashier caught Johnnys attention, and despite bumping into other people in front of him, he got closer and closer until he was finally at the front desk where she sat.
She looked up and said, "Good afternoon, how may I help you today?"
The smile Johnny received from the young girl, swept Johnnys feet right off the ground. It was the most cute and beautiful smile he had ever seen, and he even wanted to give her a kiss right on the spot.
He replied, "Oh yeah, I would like to buy a cd."
He then picks one up not even knowing who the singer was and pays for it.
The young girl asked, "Would you like me to wrap it up for you?", and again giving Johnny the same smile as before.
Johnny agrees, so there she goes to wrap up the CD.
Two mintues later she returned with the wrapped CD and gave it to him.
"Thank you very much and we shall meet again." said Johnny.
Later that day, Johnny was walking home only to think about the young girl with the most beautiful smile, and from then on, everyday he went to the same store to buy a CD.
Every day, after reaching home from the CD store, Johnny would place the CD into his closet until he realize he needs more space for storage. He buys a CD rack and so the problem was solved.
Three months has passed and Johnny is still too shy to even offer a date out with the young girl, he really wanted to ask but he has no courage. Soon, his mother found out about this and she even tried to help him.
She said, "Dear, Find yourself, for courage and confidence are as easy as breathing to the person who really knows who he is. "
The following day, with the wisdom Johnny had learned from his mother, he went back to the store. He bought a CD like he did everyday and as he was paying for his CD, he delibertly gives the young girl the cash with a note under it stating his phone number written on the front.
Back at Johnny's home, after counting how many CD's he had purchased from day one until today, totalled at exactly 100. Johnny then decides to cut down on the CD purchases and never showed up at the CD store for one whole week.
Seven days later, the young girl is wondering why in a sudden would Johnny give her his phone number and not showing up for one whole week? She decides to call him up tomorrow morning.
"Ring ring ring ring ring"
The mother picked up the phone and said "Hello?"
It was the young girl! She happily asked for Johnny. In response, Johnny's mother paused for at least thirty seconds because she had no control from stopping the tears draining her eyes.
After wiping the tears of her eyes, Johnny's mother said "He passed away two days ago."
The line was quiet except for the cries from his mother.
Later in the same day, the mother went into Johnnys room because she knew that even if Johnny isn't here, his spirit will forever remain by the side of her. She folded some clothes which belonged to Johnny and placed them back into his closet. When she opened the closet, suddenly a stack of CD's had fallen out onto the floor.
She was surprised to find a few stacks of CD's all over his bedroom, and as she picked one up, she sat down on the bed starting to open one.
Inside, there was a CD and as she took it out of the wrapper, out fell a piece of paper. The mother picked it up and started to read . . .
Hi, I think you are really cute. Do you wanna go out with me? >>>>> Love Jacelyn <<<<<
Johnny's mother opened another CD...
And again there was a piece of paper saying, " Hi, I think you are really cute. Do you wanna go out with me? " >>>>> Love Jacelyn <<<<<
~~~ Thinking time ~~~
My personal thoughts : You will never know if the person you have fallen in love with is the one who will be there when you most need them and STILL be there when you don't . Theres no other way to find out unless the both of you are willing to accept the consequences after a painful outcome.
According to how shy Johnny was, if he had known how strong confidence and courage was, than the young girl and Johnny would have got together (Disregard this was based on an Inspirational sad story).
Love is ... When you've had a huge fight but then decide to put aside your egos, hold hands and say, " I love you."
Thanks for reading everyone.
