Is It Meant To Be (Under major editing again)

Chapter 20 (Final Edit)

I looked at Nicole's pale body on the hospital bed. I can't let her die like this. Like the way her mom did.

I felt a tug on my jacket. I turned around and saw a little girl with light green watery eyes. "Do you know if my big cousin will be alright?" She asked while looking at the bed, making me look too, me trying to hold back the tears.

"I don't know sweetie, okay? All we can do now is just hope. What's your name?" I asked while wiping away tears that got loose out of my eyes. "My name's Jessica Sofee Ryans." She replied in a whisper while looking at the floor and shaking.

"Sofee are you crying?" I asked while more tears were getting loose from my eyes making my breathing catch in my throat. She nodded her head, taking two steps and hugging my leg while silently crying.

"Sofee please hope with me...please don't give up on hope, we have to hope strong for this to work. Can you do that Sofee? Can you p-please hope?" I asked while side glancing towards her. She looked up at me and nodded yes, her face red, and her brunette hair strands caught on my trail of tears. I used my hand to wipe the hair strands away from her face, which also wiped the tears away.

Once I wiped them completely new ones replaced the old tears. "I'm sorry Ms. I tried so hard to stop crying, but I just can't." Sofee sniffed while covering her face. I can only imagine the way that she reacted when she found out that her aunt died from the same situation. I picked her up, while holding her to my shoulder.

She instantly hugged my neck and started to cry on my shoulder, but I didn't want to cry infront of her anymore. I have to try my best to be strong infront of Nicole's little cousin.

She pulled back and asked me, "What's...What's your name M-ms?" I smiled on top of my puff eyes and answered with a sniff, "Chelsey Nalftalia Rae." She smiled and commented, "Your name's pretty." Then hugged my neck again, but this time I didn't feel her shaking from tears. She was just hugging me.

A few minutes passed, Sofee taking a slumber on my shoulder, and me sitting on a chair that was next to Nicole. The other students that didn't even know Nicole still showed up and prayed for her and sent her some nice stuff. William even had the decency to show up, but left just seconds after. And Christopher...Christopher is still unheard from every since I left him. I still wonder if the last flower he plucked was she loves me or she loves me not.

The doctor came inside the room and held my shoulder, telling me that I should step outside so that they can take tests and other medical stuff. "No, I just can't leave her here alone! I want to stay here with her, just a little longer." I explained, while my eyes started to fill with tears again.

"Just a little longer is too long itself. Please let the doctors do all they can to keep her alive." The doctor commented while writing something in their clipboard. I looked at Sofee who was awake with her knees on my jeans and her arms still wrapped around my neck, with her face off my shoulder.

"Okay, just p-please do what you c-can." I concluded, while getting up with Sofee in my arms, her head now resting on my shoulder even though she's awake.

"I promise that we will try all we can." The doctor told me with a hand on my shoulder, the one that didn't have a resting child. I nodded my head and opened the door, looking at Nicole's pale face. As I was walking I felt something hold me back. Sofee was holding an arm out trying to reach to Nicole, making me whisper, "Hope Sofee, just hope."
