No Time To Waste

Chapter 4

Abigail P.O.V

Oh my gosh that boy was handsome. What if he doesn't like me back? But he was intrigued by me when we was talking. But Idk this is the first boy that stood out to me. Well I let him know how I felt already but if he didn't notice it he will never get this type of feelings from me again. What if he finds out that I don't have that much longer to live? Will he still love me or would he ever have feelings for me?

"Are you ok honey" my mom said to me before I snapped out of my thoughts

"Yes ma'am it's just......never mind I will tell you later."

"Ok just keep everything positive sweetheart we don't need nothing getting you down."

Jonathan P.O.V

After a while on the road away from the hospital we finally made it home. We walk up our steps and found a lot of gifts from our neighbors, my teammates, coaches, and teachers. They got me get well cards and sorrowful cards and balloons and footballs. My brothers gathered up the stuff and brought it to my room. I take a long good look at my self." Abigail told me to think positive." I'm just a normal Carmel colored black kid. A junior in high school. 6'0 in height. A star football player and a very intelligent person. Let's not think about it anymore I'm useless.

"Johnny sweetie we scheduled another doctors appointment for you next Thursday and she how long you got with those crutches." My mom yelled out.

"Yes ma'am." I answered. I smiled at the fact that I can go and see Abigail. Love her Hazel eyes and her soft hands. A tanned white skin matching her brownish long hair. She looks up at me because she stops at my chest so I'm guessing she is about 5'4.

I let out a sigh, Thursday is in another week.

I woke up the next morning and was startled by my teammates. They all gathered around in their jerseys. I see my coaches in the back and asked,"How ya feel champ?"

I looked at him in astonishment and look at my cast and back at him." I'm crushed coach. My dreams have ended for me and I can't get them back. If you love football as much as I did you probably will understand how I feel right now." I told him with teary-eyes. I take a look at my teammates and continued," I would kill to be back on the field with you guys. But just no one thing while yall are in a game....Play for me too. Play for two people out there. Give 200 percent for me. Make it up for one of your fallin teammates and play your heart out..." I stopped after a couple of tears rolled down.

We talked for about an hour and the pain of my leg kicked in and they had to leave. My mom gave me my pain pills and I went back to sleep.

My school days went fast and Thursday finally had came. I woke up and stretched. I didn't go to school today because I had my appointment. For some reason I was nervous but I manage to control it. We ate and we headed out back to the hospital.

My mom looked back at me and asked," What's on your mind Johnny baby?"

I smiled and said," I got to much to talk about." I actually wasn't lying, I still hide hopes about going through a lot of things to get my knee back healthy so I can play football again. But the biggest thing that was on my mind was I wanted to she Abigail.

We made it to the hospital and my heart started fluttering. We walked in and my eyes were alert, looking for that beautiful girl. My mother told me to sit and wait till I get called for my appointment. As I took out my phone to check my messages, I was in a middle of a sentence when I over heard some nurses talking. Lol yea I'm a ease dropper but the only reason why cause I heard a familiar name. "Sanders" that was Abigail last name. As I was listening one of the nurses started," So what's going on with Sanders?"

The other nurse replied," Well the doctor told me to make sure she stays happy right now."

"Why is that?", the nurse asked

"Well you see.... she doesn't have long to live and the doctor gave her about 2 months to live. She got her hopes down and all of a sudden she became happy. I have never seen her that happy before. What ever it is I just hope it keeps her happy because she is getting worse and worse."

The intercom went off for I guess both of the nurses because they scurried off in a hurry. I waited for another 10 minutes and they called me back there. I started to get emotional again and my mother told me to walk it off. So you know where I went to, that peaceful place. I sat down in the same place and started thinking. How come she didn't tell me this at first? How would she feel if I knew without her telling me? Would she be embarrassed, mad, sad. How would I...." I got interrupted by the beautiful angel.

"Jonathan oh my gosh you came back to the peace place. I missed you so much!", Abigail said happily.

"Hey Abigail how you doing...." I said nervously.

She looked at me confused." Why you asked?"

"Ummm is anything going on with you that is hurting you?"I asked

"You must know something that I don't know. But what ever it is I'm sorry if I didn't tell you. After you tell me I got something to ask you."

I mustered up some courage to ask,"Are you dying?"........
