| Chapter 10 �AJ�s P.o.v.� I wiped away the tears that streamed down my face. I stared blankly at the head stone just feet away from me. � Shelly Langs � August 10th 1983-March 5th 2001 � Fought a hard battle and lost. � But fought hard to try to win. The headstone read.� I had only known her about 3-4 weeks.� She was supposedly getting better. She looked better, sounded better, and so on.� When I last saw her we were laughing hysterically about some lame joke that Nick had told.� In fact, she was still laughing about it when I left her them that night.� Then when I came to see them the next day.....� Well, you know the rest.�� I stood here at her grave for at least an hour, when a realization hit me strong and hard.� I could lose Nick just at easily. come back to him dead. I ran as fast as I could to my car before breaking every traffic law to get to the clinic.� It took me 5 minutes from a 20 minute drive to get there, and I ran straight to his room, and stopped outside it.� My hear was racing in my chest as I slumped against the wall next to the door to catch my breath. Everything was moving in slow motion, as I turned to open the door.� Nick was dressed down, with just his boxers and staring t himself in the full length mirror.� A sing tear fell slowly down his bony cheek. �N-Nick.�� I chocked out softly.� I saw him turn to look at me threw the mirror, as more tears fell down his cheek. I rushed to him and caught him in my arms as he fell to the floor sobbing.�� I sat there.� I sat there on the floor with Nick in my arms as he cried, so violently, he was shaking. �I'm so scared.. I don�t want to die.�� He chocked out in a soft whisper between sobs. �It�s ok..we�ll get threw this.� I promise you that.�� I told him as I held him close and tight to my body, afraid to let to ever let go.� As our tears mixed Deep in my heart, I knew that things will only get better from here ************************** Chapter 11 Chapter 9 Table Home |
