The weekend rolled around so Jobe and I went to the amusement park.
"Which rides do you wanna go on?" he asked once we were inside.
"All of them"
"Even the rollercoaster?"
"Of course, you know that's one thing I could never leave the amusement park without riding "
"You know I'm scared of heights right?", he said with a petrified expression on his face
"I'll hold your hand, you big baby", I laughed
And I did exactly that. Jobe's screams were so loud, I was sure that my eardrum would break.
"No more", he said once we got off the rollercoaster
"Yeah, I agree. I don't wanna end up losing my hearing due to your earsplitting screams."
"Hey!", he playfully pushed me
"Remember the time you got lost here and I went to find you, but I got lost too" I said as the memory popped up in my head
"How could I forget? You were crying so hard by the time they found you because you thought Bubba the bear was going to eat you. That was the last time our mums took us to the amusement park", he laughed
"I was nine, cut me some slack" I laughed with him
The last ride left to ride was the ferris wheel. I purposely made sure that it would be our last ride at the amusement park.
"The view from up here is beautiful", I said looking at the midnight blue sky
"Not as beautiful as you", he said
I turned to look at him and we both leaned in for a sweet kiss. Fireworks erupted in my mind and my heart did somersaults.
"Just like in the movies", I said
"Just like in the movies", he repeated
We left the amusement park and went to grab some food at McDonald.
"I want you to serve chicken nuggets at my funeral", I said popping a chicken nugget into my mouth
"Oh yeah? You really think that your parents will allow that?"
"Yeah, whatever princess wants, princess gets, I winked
"So do you have anything you wanna do before you..." he trailed off
"Before I die.", I competed the sentence for him
"Yeah"
"You don't have to be so sensitive around the word die, you know. To answer your question, yes, I do have some things I want to do before I kick the bucket", I made a kicking motion with my foot
"How many things do you wanna do?"
"I have twelve things, well eleven now because we completed one today"
"What did we cross off your bucket list?"
"I kissed the love of my life on a ferris wheel"
"I should have known that you had a hidden motive today" he smiled
I gave him my phone to see the rest of my bucket list. It was written in my notes app.

"You are definitely not getting a tattoo"
"Oh yes I am"
"Your mum is gonna lose
her mind if you do"
"Stop being such a killjoy"
"So you are gonna read 100 books within five months?"
"I've already read seventy, so only thirty left. When we had our little "break", I had a lot of free time so I used it to read"
Jobe shifted uncomfortably and looked down.
"I'm sorry"
"Stop saying sorry, I forgave you a long time ago", I smiled
"You did?"
"Yeah, forgiveness is the final act of love", I gave him a kiss on the cheek
"Why is number twelve empty?", he asked
"Because only I can know what it is", I playfully winked
"I'm gonna find out what it is"
"I'd like to see you try"
Jobe dropped me off and it was already 11 p.m and to say that my mum was angry would be a understatement.
"Do you kind telling me why you are only arriving at this hour?"
"I was out with Jobe. Sorry"
Her face seemed to relax at the mention of Jobe.
"What's going on between you two?"
"Nothing"
"Well what Mark told me doesn't seem like nothing"
"What did he tell you?"
"That he caught you and Jobe kissing"
"What? He didn't catch us kissing, we were about to kiss -" I slapped my hand over my mouth
"So there is something going on" she cocked a brow
"Okay fine, Jobe and I are dating"
"I knew it! You and Jobe are finally dating. I'm going to tell Denise right away.", she took her cellphone and dialed Denise's number
I took this as an opportunity to go to my room to avoid any further questions.
I sat in my bed replaying the events of the day. I couldn't help but feel a slight pain in my heart. Today was the last day that I'd ever be able to go to the amusement park because my lungs can't take anymore breath increasing rides. I shouldn't have went there but I can't die without going to the place that held so many memories for me.
Jobe Pov
Every day I spend with Isie is a day that my heart seems to grow even more fond of her and it's killing me. Her showing me her bucket list just sealed the deal that she's actually going to die and she has already accepted her fate. Why can't I do the same? Why do I still have hope that she's going to live? Why do I keep on doing this to myself?
She can't leave yet, I'm not done loving her. I don't think that I'll ever be done loving her.
