A Christmas Wish Come True (part ll)

Chapter Four

Maria's POV:

I quickly grab joey's right arm while his girlfriend grabs his other.

"Kennedy!" I yelp. 

She walks in with her arms crossed.  "What--- oh my God!"

I look at her as i grab joey then drape his arm over my shoulder.  "Call 9-1-1!"

She immedtly pulls out her phone, calling 9-1-1.

We get to the hospital.  They put joey with Amy, so they're close to each other.  Kennedy was not happy about that.

"My daughter is in the hospital!" She yelps.  "How come I wasn't informed?!"

I look at her as i sit down at Amy's bed after grabbing a chair.  "I was going to tell you both, but i didn't have the time and I wanted to make sure you weren't mad at me for thinking i was other one of your husband's girlfriend's."

She nods, sitting on the other side of me, facing both joey and Amy.  She grabs Amy's and joey's hands, then holds them tightly.  I can see the tears forming in her eyes as i shake my head.  I stand, grabbing both joey's and Amy's papers on what's wrong with them.

"Overdose." I read outloud on joey's paper.

"What?" Kennedy sniffles, joey's girlfriend-- staying close to joey but far away from Kennedy.

"That's what it says." I say.  "An overdose, but i don't get it.  He takes the same amount as me.  Plus, you're here Kennedy, he's missed you so.  So why is he overdosing?" I thought for a moment as she looks down.  In the corner of my eyes i see Kennedy kiss her husband on the cheek.

"He'll be alright, right?" Kennedy asks, looking up at me hopefully.

I start pacing the room while looking at Amy's. "Overdose, but the thing is, is she only has a sip.  Josh i swear when i find you you'll be dead."

"Who's Josh?" Kennedy asks.

"An old fool." I respond with my teeth gritted.

She nods as she squeezes both Amy's and joey's hands tightly.

Okay, I'll be back, call or text me if anything happens." I say through gritted teeth and run out of the hospital with their folders.

They have extra folders so it's fine. 

I get to my car and just as i was about to get in, the car locks on me.  I start patting my pockets trying to find my keys.  They're gone.

I quickly turn around only to see my ex-boyfriend; Josh.

He grins at me as he puts my keys in-between his fingers. "You dropped something honey."

I grit my teeth, glaring at him.  "Why are you doing this? Why did you start killing many innocent people?!"

He laughs, but gives me a cold stare.  "I'm just giving everyone what it feels like to be in pain, just like what you did to me."

I glare at him.  ,"I'm glad I left your lousy butt! You never treated me right! I was with my beautiful Amelia for what? Not even three weeks and she treated me better than you ever had! You just wanted me for my money! That's the only reason you wanted me! And because I looked 'hot'!"

He just laughs.  A cold, evil laugh.  "Well, I'm glad i don't need you anymore. Because now, I'm going to kill you as you watch the whole world suffer because of you!"

"What did you put in joey's antidepressants?!" I yell.

He smiles coldly. "A few different things,  all of them deadly for the brain.  Kill most blood cells slowly making your heart stop, along with your memory first, so you'll suffer more before dying."

"You're evil!" I cry.

He just laughs. "Oh really sweetheart? You didn't think that already? Well i am!" He went and tried stabbing me, and missed.

"Stay still!" He yells as i yelp.

I quickly keep squirming outta the way so he can't catch me.  Finally, after what seemed like hours, i heard someone call some cops, but as i hear the sirens, i got side tracked, not noticing Josh behind me, and stabbing me in the back...litterally.

I gasp as i fall on my knees, clutching the knife that is still in between two of my ribs on my right side.

"Amelia." I whisper, after a moment i see her beautiful face starring at me.

Maria. She whispers. Come to me.

You don't know how much I wanted to stay with Amelia.  You guys don't know how much I missed her sweet smile.   You guys don't know how much I miss her calming voice to reasurre  me.  I wanted myself to bleed out and die.  So i could be with Amelia.

Tears fill my eyes así stare at the blurry vision of Amelia.  Her vision dissapeared as I hear the faint noise of sirens in the background, i hear Josh yell; "till next time sweetheart...unless you die!"  He ran off laughing as i slowly go on my hands and knees, one hand placed where the tip of the knife is.  I try to breathe but all i feel is pain.  I silently cry for help.  Feeling like this is the end, this'll be my last word; help.

But i couldn't let anymore people die or suffer because of me.  I had to keep going.  I needed to keep going for Amy.  I needed to keep going for Joey.  I needed to keep going to keep hope for Kennedy. And most of all, i needed to do this for Amelia.  I need to make her life count.  Even though she didn't do anything wrong, her short fight against cancer shouldn't go out in vein.  I have to make her proud.  I must make my parents proud.

So the best i could do, is listen.  Take a breath. I told myself.  I inhaled, i started crying as i did.  I felt like the wound was burning and the pain was unbearable.  My vision turned cloudy as i hear people running torwards me.  Then, i blacked out.
