Little Fires(Evan Buckley)

I Love You

Me and Jenna are having a girl's day today. Since we have a day off.

So we decided to go shopping and then maybe go to the pier. But first I have to take her up. I go into her bedroom. "Jenna wake up." she keeps snoring. "Jenna Margaret Summers!" I take the pillow from underneath her head and hit her with it. She wakes up. "What the hell?" she says raising up. "Get up we got plans." she grabs her other pillow and throws it at me.

I catch it. I look at her and smile. "Come on." "Okay give me a few minutes," she states.

We walk to the mall and went into a bunch of stores. We bought shoes matching clothes and got our hair did. Best day ever.

We sit in the food court eating some Chipotle. "Hey remember when we first met?" "you kept calling me Ariel," she states. "You look like her. From the hair to the eyes all of it." "ill take that as a compliment." she states. I laugh.

She looks behind me. "Hottie at 12 o'clock. He's so checking you out." I look back. I see a guy with curly hair and a nice smile looking at me. "Oh." "what do you mean 'oh'? He's cute." she states. "So this is girls' day not some random nigga with a staring problem day." "and as your best friend, I command you to go over there and talk to him." she states. "Command bitch what year is this 1776." she rolls her eyes. "Go." I sigh heavily. "Fine." I get up and walk over to him.

"Hi." "Hello," he says smiling. "Look I'm only doing this so it friend will leave it alone. Sopretend to write your number on this napkin so I can go." I state. He laughs. "I was actually looking at your friend," he states. My eyes wide. "Well then in that case give me your number and ill give you hers," I state. He smiles. "Uh okay."

He looks up and hands it to me. His eyes wide. "Hey your friend doesn't look so hot." I look back and see her eyes roll back and she falls out.

I run towards her shoving people out of the way. "MOVE MOVE." a crowd looks over.

I crouch to her body. "Jenna?" I tap her face. I call 911. I put it on speaker. "911 what's your emergency." I start the compressions. "This is Firefighter Destiny Morgan in 118. Operator Jenna Summers has just passed out. I've started compressions." "oh my god patching you over to Josh." I hear q click.

"Josh?" "I'm here."

"Jenna just passed out I don't know why. I need you to call any firehouse just not the 118." "Already on it. You're still at the mall, right?" he asks.

"Yes. EVERYBODY GET BACK!" I shout.

I call my mom. "Hey honey-" "I need you on standby something wrong with Jenna I've already dispatched a house they're on the way," "What! Okay, I'll be ready when you're here."

I looks at her. "Come on Jenna!"

I sit in the waiting room. "Destiny?" I look up and see my mom. "Is she okay?" "Baby can you come with me to her room?" I nod.

I walk to her room and see her eating Jello. I walk into her room. She looks at Mom. "Hey, doc. What was it lightheaded heat extortion?" "uh no." she takes a breath.

"Mom...what?" "Jenna you have ALS." she states. "What's that?" "Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis" I state. "Your cells are breaking down which is why you felt weak all of a sudden. It affects your functionality. We caught it too late." a tear rolls down my eye. "How long?" I ask. "5 months maybe longer." she states. "I'm sorry girls." I look at Jenna as she stares at her lap. "Jen..." "Can I be alone?" she asks. "Yes take all the time you need."

I walk out of the room with Mom.

Once were around the corner I let out a cry. She hugs me. "Shhh it's okay honey. It's okay."

I go back to the room. I see her looking at the wall. "So much for girls' day huh?" "ya..." I lay next to her and place my arm around her. "It's gonna be okay." "No it's not." she turns over. "What about Aria? I'm all she has left." "No, you are not she has me. And I will do everything in my power to help her to make sure she has a good life. Okay?" she nods. "Okay." "I love you." "I love you too." I hug her.
