Summer

34*

I watched my sisters keeper and nearly exploded into a puddle of tears assfghjlljfkg

.........

I had gathered everyone in the garden whilst Scar was sleeping.

Everyone was silent.

"I brought you out here because we need to talk about Scar."

Troy looks up a storm brewing in his eyes, I continue anyway.

"Scar is dying-"

"Seriously?" Troy says.

"Let me finish. Scar is dying, and yes this is the worst thing imaginable, but did you think about Scar? How scary this is for her? She is spending her time in sorrow, when she should be happy. We should be making her happy no matter how hard it is. I don't care if you guys won't help me, I want Scar to be happy and this is just wrong. You heard the doctor, she needs to have happy memories." I say. My mom starts crying, but Troy mom smiles sadly at me.

"She's right." Cam says in a deflated voice.

"She always is." Troy murmurs.

"So what should we do?" My dad says, putting an arm around my mom.

"Make her happy. Make the time she has here mean something. Live out her dreams." I say, they all nod.

"Ideas?" My mom croaks out.

"The picture house." Troy says. I look at him in shock.

"What about it?" I say.

"Scar loves constellations, she will love the picture house we have to show it to her." Troy says, I smile agreeing.

"Okay so lets show her the picture house." I say.

....

We drove Scar to Boston, she had no idea why, she seemed to be in her own quiet bubble, almost like she was there physically, but mentally she had drifted off to another planet.

I hated seeing her like this, it was like all he joy and light had been sucked out of her. This wasn't Scar. I had to bring her back.

When we got to the picture house, my parents seem confused. No one, but Troy and I had seen the magic of the picture house.

"Okay so just sit down here." I showed the Dukes and my parents the dusty old leather benches and wheeled Scar into the centre of the room. Since her collapse she was in a wheelchair. Scar looked so weak almost as if I could crush her with my hand.

"Prepared to be amazed." I tried to sound cheerful, Troy stood behind Scar.

Scar didn't react, she just seemed to be oblivious.

I shut off the lights, and then turned on the projecter. The whole room illuminated with stars, a never ending blanket of stars dazzled.

I looked at Scar, her face had changed into an expression of awe, as if she couldn't comprehend what was going on. My parents smiled and gave me a thumbs up.

I walked over to Scar and knelt down.

"I brought you the stars." I smiled.

Scar looks at me, smiles and hugs me tightly.

"You will always be special." She whispers, my throat goes dry. Then Scar starts shaking and I move back from our hug to realise she's crying.

I shiver and Troy tries to calm her down.

"W-why?" Scar croaks out, my heart breaks.

"Scar-" My mom strokes her hair.

"I have tried to be strong, but I-I don't want to die." Scar weeps, my knees give out and I fall to the floor in front of her.

Scar grabs me into an embrace, and we just cry.

Cry the pain that never leaves.

"You can let go." Scar whispers in my ear, I cry harder.

I grab her face, and through tearful eyes say, "I will never let go."

Troy had turned into a statue like he was made of stone.

Then he gets up.

"Scar, this is not the end. These moments we will make will be eternal and will make you last forever in us." Troy says and kisses her on the cheeks.

He wheels her away.

"Where are you-" I stop him.

"Follow me."
