A Christmas Wish Come True (part ll)

Chapter Five

Amy's POV:

I saw myself standing on clouds.  What i hallucinating?

I saw myself in a room.  There were blinding white pillars that went up at least forty feet, while the ceiling was a domed shape. You could barely see the top as a giant gold and silver chandelier hung from the ceiling.  There were potted flowers and trees all across the room.  I look down and notice I'm standing on soft grass.  The trees and flowers are actually growing in the ground.  Not just in the pots.

I wonder how someone could make such a place.  The place was so huge and so much going on.  But it was all so peaceful, so calm, so relaxing.

"Amy?" I hear a soft voice from behind me.  I turn seeing Amelia in a beautiful white gown.

          (The dress⬆️)

"Amelia." I half whisper.

She just stares at me as i stare back.  Tears immedtly fell as i run to her, wrapping her into a hug. She wraps her arms around my neck gently, pulling me close as i cry. 

"I missed you!" I say in between sobs.

"It's alright." She says softly, rubbing my back  trying to comfort me.  All i do is bury my face in her neck, sobbing.  I missed her so much.  How is she here? Am I dreaming? What's going on? Is Amelia okay?

She slowly pulls away after awhile but I try to grab onto her, but she just grabs my hands. 

"Amelia, are you okay?"

She looks at me.  She seems so calm, so peaceful.  My heart shatters knowing i might never see her face again after this.

"Amy, please listen."  Her voice somehow stayed steady, even though her expression was a little worried and her voice was laced with fear.

"What's the matter?" I ask, not wanting Amelia to be worried or feel anything but safe, leave, and free.

"You gotta stay strong for me." She awnsers pleadingly.  "Please, just that small sip of that drink you had wasn't a normal drink.   He's been putting certain drugs in other drugs causing it to become this whole thing of killing many innocent people."

"What kind of drugs?" I ask.

She shrugs slightly.  "I---i don't know, but I'm able to see them from from here.  When you wake up, go to Maria immedtly."

"What happened?" I ask, now really worried

She just turns and walks out of the place.  I follow. 

"Amelia?"

She just keeps walking while shaking.  I go over to her and look at her worried after stopping her.  "Amelia, what else?"

She looks up at me with tears in her eyes.  "Make her happy for me."

"What?" I wonder outloud.

"She's not happy.  She needs someone, someone to love.  I can't give her that anymore.  I've seen the way you gaze at her.  Prom for you is coming up right?"

I think for a moment then nod.  "She's also twenty, turning twenty one.  I think."

"Take her out to prom." Amelia finishes.  Looking down. 

I can't do that to her. I say in my head. She deserves Maria, not me.  I don't know if I even like girls.  Plus i can't cheat like that.  I defintly can't take away the girl of my best friends' dreams.

I look at her, shaking my head. "Amelia..." I grab her hand and hold it. "I can't do that to you.  She's your girl."

She shakes her head slightly, pulling her hand away.  As soon as she did, i felt so cold, and like i lost something, like i lost a missing piece to a puzzle again.  It wouldn't have been the first time I've lost that piece, but now the second, maybe the third.

But i do gotta admit, i do kinda have feelings---

No.  I scold myself. Amelia deserves Maria, not me.

I didn't know how to help Amelia.  For the first time in my life, i didn't know how to help Amelia.  I couldn't believe how she was asking me to date her girlfriend.  I understand Maria's lonely, but isn't Amelia too?

I look at Amelia again.  "Amelia, please, i can't take Maria from you."

She looks up at me.  "Maria's almost dead because of me Amy!" A tear slid down her cheek making my heart sink seeing Amelia in pain.  "I---i can't help her Amy! I'm a horrible girlfriend! I don't need to break her heart again!" She just shook her head, her voice going softer.  "I--i'm sorry, just, when you wake up, check on her, please." With that, she turns, and walks away. Her beautiful white dress and her body with her beautiful blondish curls turning into a blurry vision then dissapearing.

I woke up, feeling a slight headache, but it's not terrible.

"Amy!" I hear my mom cry as she wraps me in a big hug, holding me as she starts sobbing.

I slowly hug her back, but after awhile I just sit back, thinking about what me and Amelia were talking about. I couldn't do that to Amelia.  That's her girlfriend, not mine.  But i will do this; I'll do my best by making Maria happy as her friend.

I look at my mom.  "Mom." Wow, my voice was hoarse.

She shushes me while she hands me a water bottle.  I drink it all in less than a few minutes.  Man i was thirsty.

She sets the cup down after I'm done with it.  "So what was it you needed dear?"

"Maria, where's Maria?"

She looks at me for a moment and shuffles uncomfortably.  "She's um, she's in--"

Before my mom could finish, a nurse came in.

The nurse looks at me and smiles weakly, but their was worry in her eyes.  "Hello, Amy."

"Hi." I say, but stare at her waiting for an answer.  "Where's Maria?"

*Maria.... Maria, Maria Carson right?"

I have never heard her last name.  I wonder how i haven't heard her last name before.  I just nod hoping it's her.  "Where is she? Is she okay?"

She stares at me for a moment, looking at her papers. "She's actually in emergency care at the moment, she got stabbed in the chest."

"WHAT?!" Me, my mom, and my dad's girlfriend all yelp.
