Until later that day....
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
'Hey your cell phone...'
'Yeah! Thanks!'
'...many things have changed... I think it's better to lie low for a while...'
'so? Who texted?' 's best friend, , demanded.
'.... he told me... he said...' stammered and finally broke in tears. And it was known that the relationship had been broken. She didn't know what to do. had been her whole world and with him gone, she thought that her whole world would end.
She attended all her classes barely hearing the lessons. Classes were already over yet 's friends were hesitant to leave her alone.
'Want to come to our house and play?' asked.
'How about if you and I shop 'til we drop?' suggested.
's other friends, all gave some ideas on how to spend the rest of the day but...
'Guys! Just leave me alone ok? I'll be alright!' assured them as she climbed on to the front seat of their car, which had pulled up. On the way home, was silent. Her mom kept making worried glances at her slumped figure.
'She and broke up!' her sister, shouted.
'Honey! I'm sorry.'
'Mom! Stop it! I'm ok,' said.
All kept quiet. After a few minutes, Mrs. said, 'I'll be picking you up at school early at about 4:00 for your check up. I've been worried about those bruises in your body. Be sure to be ready by then.'
'Fine!' replied.
The 21st of April
was already waiting for her mom when their car pulled up in front of the school. It was obvious that she had been crying again.
'.... if you want to talk...'
'I don't want to! Let's just go to the hospital and get this over with!' snapped.
Nobody said another word again. They were listening to the radio when... 'Our next song is All my Life by America, the band who gave us hits like Inspector mills and a whole lot more. Here, listen to this and I hope you guys out there like it!'
"All my life, without a doubt
I give you, all my life.
Nowand forever till the day I die..."
Click! turned off the radio. 'That was our song,' explained. Silence reigned once more. They pulled into the parking lot and went into the hospital. was given a lot of tests and after all that, they finally went home. On the other hand... had been missing a lot and was tormenting himself of thoughts and memories they had together as a couple. 'How could I be so stupid?' he asked himself. 'I just got to win her back... but how?'
The 22nd of April
woke up, still undecided on how to win his true love back. He berated himself for letting slip out of his hands.
Meanwhile...
It was lunchtime at school and was in the queue at the cafeteria. She suddenly felt faint and grasped the rail for support. The last thing she remembered was the voices of her friends shouting, before she finally sank into a dark and seemingly deep black pit.
"Hello!"
"Yes, this is 's mom speaking."
"What?!"
"I'll be there as soon as I can!"
That evening...
"I'm sorry Mrs. , there's nothing more we could do," the doctor said. "Oh, please do something!" 's mom implored as the doctor started to leave the room silently.
The 23rd of May
Rrrring! Rrrring!
woke up at the sound of the phone ringing.
"hello?"
", pls. come here. is confined here at the St. Luke's Hospital. She has advanced leukemia. My baby's going to die! The doctor said that she only has a few more days to live," 's mom cried.
"I'm on my way there!" said.
Later at the Hospital.....
"How is she doing?" asked Mrs. .
"She's been in a coma since she fainted that day at the cafeteria," came the answer.
approached the bedside and 's mom left the room.
looked at 's pale form and tears started streaming down his face.
"I'm so sorry! If you'd give me another chance, I'll never let you go again!" was heard saying.
"I do love you! pls. believe me!"
never left 's side the whole. He prayed and prayed then the 28th of April cam, opened her eyes and saw by her said. "...." She said weakly.
was surprised and look at her and he immediately said, "! Can you forgive me? Pls. give me another chance. I promise i'll never let you go this time...."
"sshhh.... i forgive you..... but you can have me again but as your angel..... and since you are already here i may as well say goodbye..... Goodbye and remember I will always be at your side and i will always love you.... just promise me you'll move on with your life now that i will be gone......!" this was her last words.
Cries were heard inside the room. Mrs. , and 's friends were all there. And as they sobbed the room was filled with the song....
"All my Life,
without a doubt i give you,
all my life.
Now and forever til the day i die......"
And all present could've sworn that they saw 's spirit smiling at them telling them, esp. , that everything will be okay.
The End!
