Debra (LOML) ✨😚: Edwin. Are you there?
My heart could not help but skip a beat. Debra never called my full name.
Me : Of course I am. You okay? You gone to the hospital yet?
Debra (LOML) ✨😚: Yes.
I'm sick.
Sick? Okay. That can't be so bad.
Me: How are you feeling?
Debra (LOML) ✨😚:
Edwin, I have cancer.
Me: Stop. Stop playing.
A part of me knew she wasn't playing. I wanted it to be a dream. A lie. Fake.
But I knew it wasn't.
Her hair was falling out. She was coughing up blood.
Debra (LOML) ✨😚: I wish I was joking. I wish it was a lie.
I didn't travel to Abuja, like I said. I'm in the US. I'm going in for surgery in some minutes. Edwin, I love you.
Me : Debra. How? Why did you not tell me?
Debra (LOML) ✨😚: My parents hid it all from me.
I only just found out two days ago. But, it's stage one.
In case I don't make it, know that I love you. So so much, that if I was a boy I'd marry you.
Me : I don't want to believe it.
It's not true.
Debra (LOML) ✨😚: It is.
Me : That was not the plan, Deb. High school isn't over.
I'd die without you.
Debra, please be fine.
You know I don't have anyone else. No one gets me. Nobody understands me.
I'm all alone in this house, I'm odd!
Debra (LOML) ✨😚: I'm sorry. I love you, and I'll fight it if I can. If there's anything I could do, just to survive, I will.
Me : Don't leave me. I'll commit suicide.
Debra (LOML) ✨😚: Stop saying that to me. You'll be fine, Edwin. I know you will.
But I'm not sure if I'll make it out of this hospital alive.
Me : So this is how it all ends? This is it?
Debra (LOML) ✨😚: I'm sorry, I love you. I wish I didn't let you down.
Me : Gosh this is so hard.
Why does this have to happen to us?
Debra (LOML) ✨😚: God knows best Mi Vida.
Just tell me you love me and everything will be alright.
Me : I love you. Forever and two days more.
Debra (LOML) ✨😚: Me too, Mi vida. Now promise me I'll always be your LOML.
Me : 😂. You'll always be the Love Of My Life. The range to my rover.
Debra (LOML) ✨😚:
The cockroach in your cupboard?
