Years passed by, They became soo good friends. They walked home together everyday. And all this time, again, Ethan tried to make her laugh, but as usual, she didn't! They were mature now.

They both starting having a crush on each other. They both were very attractive. Ethan had light brown messy hair with little shade of blonde. His eyes were grey and he had the cutest face and smile in the world. Skye had brown  layered medium hair with beautiful brown eyes. She was very beautiful.

Ethan was falling in love with Skye. Ethan thought to confess his feelings to her, but seeing her emotionless face, always. He thought that maybe she didn't like him that way, and it's best to not say anything otherwise he will lose his only friend! Which he lived the most. He didn't want to lose Skye that's why he couldn't bring himself to confess her. But he was wrong about one thing. He didn't knew that Skye liked her back.

It was Skye's 17th Birthday, March 24th! They were having holidays at that time. They both were missing each other. They often talked through phones and sometimes go to grab a burger or something...
Ethan decided to visit Skye on her birthday. He brought a white flower from his garden for Skye as a little present. When he reached her home, her parents opened the door. Ethan said, "Hi I'm Ethan! Nice to meet you, I'm Skye's friend from school. I wanted to wish her"...
They replied "Oh yeah, Skye has mentioned you many times, Come inside dear!"...

At that time Ethan asked Skye's parents about her.
Ethan said "I'm sorry, but if you don't mind could you please tell me what happened to Skye? I mean with her best friend and all that? Why is she like that?"...
Her parents replied "So you know?...
Ethan replied "Yeah some students told me long ago, but thay weren't clear, so i wanted to ask you"
"It's true, When she was a litte girl she had a best friend that she met in the hospital. They both shared the same room for some time there, eventually they became best friend. Skye finally felt so happy to find a friend just like her who understands her pain. But when they were 6 she lost her, as you know they both have the same disease CANCER! After that she was lost she didn't have any other friends, soon after her best friends death her grandparents died as well, who were very close to her. She was completely lost, she always found herself lonely since then. Till she met you! She daid ti us that she finally have a friend once again and a very good one." Ethan blushed "We are always worried about our girl Skye, we give her everything! We just want to see her happy! We don't know someday maybe we can lose her. I just.. As long as she is with us i want her to live happily"....her mother replied while crying.

Skye's mother, while wiping her tears"Anyway you wanted to meet her dear"....
She called out "Skye come down a friend of yours is here to meet you". Skye quickly rushed down she saw Ethan stating in the living room and smiling at her.
"Oh it's you Ethan!" she said.

Ethan replied giving her the white flower "Yeah i just wanted to wish you happy birthday! Here this is a little gift for you, it's not soo much! But i'll be glad if you accept it!".... He was smiling at her. She took the flower and suddenly she had an flashback of her hospital room she shared with her best friend and which they used to play in, they had the same flower there on the table near the window.
She said," Thank you so much Ethan!"..... Before she could say anything her mother said "Why don't you both go for a walk! You always go walking at this time right? Skye." It was evening near 8 o'clock.
Ethan said "Umm.. Skye what do you think? I mean i can go if you want!... Skye replied "No, stay i don't mind at all, why should i? We should go for a walk"....
Ethan said "Ok then"
They both went for a walk, after that...
