Chapter Twelve

Warning!⚠️: This will have sensitive topics!

Maria's POV

"AMELIA!" I scream along with Amy and Amelia's parents.

"No no no please don't go!" I cry as I cradle her head and kiss her on her cheek.

Her parents stare at me with tears in their eyes.

"What?" They both look at me.

I whisper while cradling her head in my lap,  trying not to sob.  "Amelia and I are dating."  I refuse to say the word were,  it's not WERE,  it's ARE. She's still alive. 

They nod while starring at their lost daughter,  the family devastated.

•••

I was so distraught, I barely remember much after that.

After about an hour they took my beautiful Amelia away from me, they took out her tubes. Beforehand, they tried getting a pulse for I don't know how long, until one just shook their head sadly as I fell on my knees letting out another ugly sob.

•••

I miss you. The words rang in my head as I drove home.

I was able to have Amy go with Amelia's parents, which left me alone.  again.

I get home and I clean up all the mess from Josh as tears stung my face.

The apartment felt so...sad, alone, and dark.

I finish cleaning the house and go to the dining room.  There was only a couple dim lights on, and I sit down at the table, not even wanting any food since i've lost my appetite.

I take out my phone,  starting to go through all the photos of me and Amelia.  You all might be calling me pathetic right now, since I only knew Amelia for only a couple weeks, but she was the best thing that happened to me.

I stare at one photo that is very special to me; Amelia and i  went out on our date--our last one, but also our first-- and we were walking torwards the woods, but as we were walking, there was this big tree in the middle of town.  I grabbed Amelia's face gently then kissed her.   She didn't see that I had my phone out,  and so she kissed me back while we both smiled. We were both happy, we thought we'd be together, forever.   But, like that old saying, good things always come to an end.  But this end,  came way too early.

I bury my face in my hands and keep sobbing.

I stand and walk to my room after grabbing a big size knife.

I can't deal with this. I say in my head, tears rolling down my face. I can't live without you Ami, I need you.

I get to my room,  shutting and locking the door.

My parents are gone. My inner voice says. Your girlfriend is gone too. So why are you still living?

Good point.

I grab the knife then point it at my chest. I close my eyes and stab.

Amy's POV:

I can't believe what happened.

I come to a hospital when I found out best friend has a girlfriend, then finding out my best friend has cancer, then dying in front of my eyes.

I watch as Maria walks to her car trying to hide the tears.  I was with Amelia's parents Henry and Arielle. I was in the backseat saying nothing.  The car ride was silent other than hearing the tears roll down our faces.

They dropped me off at my house where my dad was at the table looking depressed.  Of course he was.

I grit my teeth as he starts complaining.

Tears start rolling down my cheeks hard and I glare at him.  "Dad knock it off! You're pathetic! You can still call mom anytime you want! But all you do is come complaining to your daughter! I could've been helping my sick friend! But because of you I lost out on that valuable time and now she's gone! She died in front of my eyes! Because of you I didn't know that she had cancer and was laying on her deathbed! So thank you father for ruining my chances of ever seeing my friend again!" I've never said anything that bad to my dad before, which stunned me and him.  But before he can call my name, or I can apologize, I run upstairs crying.

Oh Amelia. I cry in my head as I slam my door. why did you leave us? I need you! I fall on my bed crying.

I need you. I say in my head again. you shouldn't have left.

I stay in my room until it's around midnight, knowing i'll have a few days off to grieve.  But I'll never stop grieving about my best friend.  I decided to see if Maria was okay, since I don't know if she has anyone with her or not.

When I got there, I knock on the door to her apartment.

No answer.

I knock again, still no answer.

I notice that that the door was open, so I decide to walk inside, seeing that the apartment looks empty.

"Hello?" My voice echos through the apartment as I slowly take out my phone  and dial 911.   Just in case something happens, I can easily press the button then call them.

I slowly walk torwards the bedrooms and look around for Maria, but I see a door that is locked, and has a dim light in it  I quietly grab my bobby pin, unlocking the door and opening it slowly.

I see Maria on the floor in a pool of blood with a knife in her hand, and I scream.
