The Hart Legacy 1.2 - I Love You

That day after work, Sparrow decided to head over to the gym to work out. Her first day of work had been fairly easy but boring. She spent most of the day thinking about Conner. She had never believed in love at first sight until now.

During her workout, she just couldn’t seem to focus. He was all she could think about and it was driving her insane.

Suddenly, Sparrow had an idea. She thought she was crazy for even considering such a thing but she had to. It just felt right. She may have known Conner for only a day but she knew deep down that she loved him. And if she knew, she decided he should know too.

Sparrow got a cab and spent the ride explaining to the taxi driver what she was about to do. She just kept talking, hoping to make the time go by faster. She couldn’t wait to see him again. When the cab pulled up to the dock, she threw $50 to the cab driver and told her to keep the change and jumped out of the cab. She took off running down the dock, each step taking her closer to Conner.

The cab driver watched as Sparrow sprinted away. Being the sap that she is, she fought back tears witnessing what she could only describe as a movie scene happening right in front of her.

Sparrow rang the doorbell and waited outside Conner’s door. Her heart was pounding and she considered running away before he ever knew she was here. Despite her fear, she decided to stay and as she saw him approach the door, she could hardly breathe.

When Conner answered the door, he looked a little surprised.

“Sparrow, what are you doing here?”

She didn’t reply, She wrapped her arms around him and just stared into his eyes trying to work up the courage to do what she came here to do.

And she kissed him. Just in case this all goes horribly wrong, she needed to have one last kiss from him.

Conner pulled back, still a little confused.

“Sparrow, what’s going on? Did something happen?”

Sparrow just stared into his eyes and tried her best to get the words to come out. She couldn’t say anything else other than three words.

“I love you.” she said with her heart nearly pounding out of her chest.

Conner pulled away shocked. The face he made told her instantly that she had made a mistake. Sparrow stared and him, unsure of what to do. This wasn’t going as she had hoped it would.

So she did the only thing she could think to do, she ran. She ran into the night fighting back tears.

She ran to the center of town. When she got there, still unsure of what to do, she ran all the way home.

Sparrow was finally home. She had ran and cried all the way there. She stripped down all of her sweaty, gross workout clothes in the livingroom and collapsed on the couch. She fell asleep, crying and wishing that she had never done what she just did.

A few hours later, she finally woke up and was okay until she remembered what had happened and that it all wasn’t a terrible nightmare.

Sparrow felt like she must be crazy being so heartbroken over a man she had only known for a few days but she loved him. She really loved him. She needed to do something, anything to distract herself. She decided to head up to her room and play some computer games. It would keep her mind busy.

When she turned on her computer, she sees that she has a message. She figured it was just an email from her mom or dad back home checking in on her. When she opened it, she saw who it was from. It was from Conner. Instantly, her blood began to boil and she was angry. Angry that he didn’t love her.

Finally, she decided to read the email. She just knew it was probably the typical breakup message. She thought he was a coward for doing it this way and not atleast doing it in person. She worked up the nerve and clicked on it. All she saw were four words. Four words that would change her whole life.

I love you too.





Sparrow was so happy she didn’t know what to do with herself. She sat there in awe of the words on her computer screen. Could this really be happening? She knew she needed to see him. She picked up her phone and worked up the courage to call Conner.

She listened as the phone rang a few times and finally he picked up.

“Hey…”

Sparrow was so excited to hear his voice. “Conner!”

“…it’s Conner, leave a message after the beep.”

Sparrow’s heart sank. Of course, it was 2:00 AM and he was probably in bed.

Sparrow was disappointed since now she would have to wait until after work the next day to see him. Despite that, Sparrow couldn’t stop smiling. She headed to bed, excited to see what the day would have in store for her.
