So-Called Destiny

Chapter 24: I Never Thought

Izzy’s POV:

I can’t believe I didn’t forgive Michelle yesterday. She can’t blame me; she has no valid reason why she’s doing this to us. Tyler is more important for her and I know her life would be the same without us.

Suddenly my phone rang; it’s Kimberly’s Mom.

“Sweetie, Kimberly’s condition is getting worse.” She said, crying.

“OMG what happened?” I asked, sobbing.

“The doctor said that the cancer is ruling her body. She’s now losing her hair and she’s getting weaker. I can’t stand to see her like this.” She said, crying even more.

“WHAT! This can’t be. Don’t worry mom, everything will be alright. I’m sure of that. We just need to pray even more. Let’s be strong for her.” I said. (I call Kimberly’s mom and as well as my other girls’ mothers “Mom” and they call my mom the same way. We’re that close.)

She accidentally dropped the phone and left me here hanging with unfixed emotions.

I am literally crying right now, I don’t know what to do. Everything is getting even worse. I called Nathalie for like 10 times and she still didn’t pick up my call. After a few minutes, she texted me saying; “Sorry, I’m with my volleyball friends right now, don’t call me.”

Woah! So I think this is even worse. My best friend right now is myself, great!

I was walking alone at the park when somebody called my name.

“Izzy!!!” shouted Geny and ran towards me.

“Oh hey!” I said in a sad tone.

“You look so sad. What happened?” She asked me, rubbing my back and we sat on a bench.

“Kimberly has a cancer that’s why she moved to France and her condition is getting worse. Plus, my best friends are like suddenly changing and I’m left by myself.”  I said crying.

“I’m sorry to hear that but don’t worry. I know God is in control of her, everything will be alright. Let’s just pray for her. And I noticed that you and your girls seem to be not hanging out that much. What’s happening to your friendship? I never thought that this will end up like this because you and your girls have this strong kind of friendship.” She said and sighed.

“Well Elizabeth left our group and went to Stefanie’s with no valid reason, Juliette was not allowed to hang out with us because of her Dad, Michelle chose Tyler over us, and Nathalie is slowly fading away because of her volleyball team friends. I know that I still have a lot of friends but they’re my main best friends and life would be so different without them.” I said still crying.

Geny hugged me so tight and said;

“Listen to this, I know that I’m not your main best friend but I’ll always be here for you no matter what. I already treated you as one of my best friends because you’re really a great friend to me; whenever and wherever, you can always count on me. I promise you that no matter happens, I will never change and I hope you know that in the difficulties in your life, you’re not alone… I’ll be with you, Izzy.” She said.

I was crying so much. It feels great to have someone who is practically been there since then but I didn’t notice.

“Thank you so much Geny, thank you for all the things that you’ve done in my life; for being there with me and helping me through it all. I’ll try to be at least half a friend you are to me. And thank you that you still didn’t give up on me even you know that I’m a mess and I have other best friends. But to be honest, you’re now practically one of my closest friends and sooner maybe best friend. Don’t ever change. I love you so much.” I said while crying so much.

“Don’t cry now, okay. Don’t ruin your beautiful face, loser. Let’s go shopping instead!” She pulled me back and wiped away my tears.

“I won’t and let’s go now freak!” We both laughed and walked away.
