Say something

Based on a true story.

January 12, 2000

The day you were born, Andrew Carlito Lopez ll (The second), from Bronx New York, you came out 8 lbs. and 21 inches. You had Blue sea eyes and the darkest brown hair color ever. You looked like your dad, who died in the military when you were only 4 weeks old. Your dad was there for your birth, he held you in his very arms and named you after him. He was called back in the 2nd week you were born. He went to go fight in Iraq. They blew your father into pieces. After that, you and your mom moved to Cleveland Ohio.

The first time I met you. I believe it was in 1st grade. You pushed a boy into the wall after he put gum in my hair. After that we became really close. Our moms became very good friends too. Our moms would always make play dates for us and let us do stuff together all the time. My mom treated you like our own family. You always came to play and we always partnered up together. We just clicked quickly and I would've never believe what you did.

You wanted to surprise me because it was our 3rd anniversary of being best friends. A Teddy Bear, a best friend necklace (Girl and Guy), a note, and a promise ring. You told me to open the note first. I open it and that was the worst anniversary of my life. It said the following:

I AM DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER.

My heart sank and I bursted into tears. You gave me the promise ring putting it on my right ring finger telling me "This promise ring is for you.. This represents that I promise you that I won't die. That I'm staying right here.." You hugged me and let me cry on your chest for a while.

You just went into therapy. You shaved your head, you didn't want it to fall out on its own. I watched as they helped you and put you in a wheelchair rolling you out. Just before you left you held my hand giving me your perfect pearly white smile. "I'll be back" you say and I nod with tears welling up in my eyes. I waited for you for a good few hours and went to sleep in the hospital bed. I woke up with your arms wrapped around me. Crying.

"I love you"

you whispered into my ear and I feel hundreds of tears fall down my face.

I watched as you laid down asleep. You lost a lot of weight and your attached to all these tubes. You haven't been eating and doing the stuff you could of used to. I held your hand sitting there watching you sleep. You opened your eyes slowly and you smiled weakly "Is that you?" You asked softly looking up. I looked a bit confused "You can't see me Andrew?" I ask waving my hands in front of your face. You shake your head no and start to go into panic. I ran out and calling the doctors in and they sent me out into the waiting room making me wait 16 hours.

My day of birthday. Everyone wanted me to go out and have fun on my birthday since all year I had been in the hospital with you. I nodded "no" telling them I can't leave you. If anything at all you were getting worse and this could of been the last birthday I could of had with you. I looked at you and you smiled

"Today's your birthday.."

You said blankly, staring at the ceiling. I smiled "Yeah.." You moved your hands around the nightstand next to you and to find the place you were looking for. "What are you looking for?" I asked standing up to look over. You squeezed my hand signaling to not move. I say back down and looked at you. You pulled out a little box and handed it to me. I looked down at it and back at you.
