A Christmas Wish Come True

Chapter Eight

Maria's POV

Unlike what I feared, she kissed me back.

She was shocked for a moment, but then after collecting her thoughts, she kissed me back. 

A speak flew between us.  The love I had had for her a minute ago just became at least ten times stronger.  All I wanted to do was stay somewhere, with her--but her, only her---forever.

I loved it.

she pulls away slowly then tucks some hair behind her ear blushing slightly. She blinks slowly, looking up at me.

I blush slightly,  sitting back down.  I never had this feeling with Josh.  I think it's time to turn my life into my real fantasy.

We look into each other's eyes for a long time, me starting to gaze at her while she gazes back at me.

After a very long time I stand up, then hold out my hand for her.

She takes my hand, standing up.  I lead her to my car, and get her cane since she decided to not bring it in the Cafe. 

She unfolds her cane till it hits the ground making a sound like a rock  hitting the tile floor.

I smile weakly at her as she wraps her left arm around my right.  Probably just to make sure to know where she's going....right?

I just smile since I love this because i'm actually getting treated right.  Or is this just me reacting to the kiss?

I just shrug slightly to myself then start walking with Amelia, her tapping her cane in a certain way.  When her left foot was stepping in front of her, the cane was to the right.  When her right foot was in the front, her tip of her cane was on her left.

I watch in amazment as we keep walking.  I've never actually seen someone use a cane in front of me.  It's actually quite cool.  I just smile as we keep walking, then after a minute, I see an old couple see me and Amelia walking together then scowl at us.  Clearly they both thought we were together.  That'd be silly, right?

I just ignore them along with Amelia, but Amelia just goes closer to me.

"Shhh" I whisper in her ear.  Clearly she calms down after that, and keeps walking.

We walk for a very long time then I get breaking news.

We walked for awhile until we got into the forest, Amelia stopped and grabbed her phone and awnsered a call.

She talked to someone for awhile then looked at me and whispered. "Maria, I have something to tell you."

I look at her worried, holding her hand tightly. "What is it?"

"They found something in my MRI I had awhile ago.  They found out I have a tumor that is stage four and I need to start chemotherapy immediately."

A/N: sorry it's so short, i'll be updating this really soon, and i'll be updating the next chapter a little bit longer.  I'm sorry it was so short, stay safe and have a great morning/day/night!

Bye! :)
