How He Changed Me

-5-

Dianna's POV

I woke up a few hours later with my head throbbing as if it could explode. The sadness i felt earlier was still there but i couldn't react to it.

"Chris.." i whispered. I didn't notice aunt amie was there all the time until she stroke the back of my palm slowly.

I turned to her and a pang of guilt came to me. Aunt amie looked horrible. She looked tired and her eyes were red. She must have been crying.

"Aunt amie.." i spoke softly.

"It's okay dear.. everything's gonna be okay" she reassured me. I knew nothing is gonna be okay but i just let it slide.

We kept silent for a few minutes. My mind was filled of chris. I just want to visit him at his tomb. I knew for sure that could help me calm down.

I start questioning why i agreed to move here. I could have been back from where i'm from and live my life like i always do. Somehow, in the middle of those depressing thoughts, the guy from earlier invaded my thoughts. I couldn't help but smile.

"Aunt amie.. i have to tell you something.. it's kind of... about today.." i began to speak. She was understanding enough to not cut me off.

I told her everything that happened including his personality resemblance to chris. Little did i know that i was smiling the whole time. Aunt amie's expression also changed. She went from this truly concerned look to a loving smile. It kind of felt good.

After i finished, we just sat there in silence. This time, it was no longer any depressing or even an awkward silence. It was a comfortable one.

I stared at the glowing glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling and slowly drifted back into deep sleep.

Xavier's POV

"Geez.. mom really needs to cool down a little"

"Can't help it.. she's just worried.. you went through tough situations and she just thinks you'd be needing her most"

As annoying it was, what Zedd said was true. I kind of need her most right now with mia being gone.

I remembered how i used to hold mia. God knows how much i loved her. That wit of hers really was something else. All the memories of her came flashing in.

how we met. How we began to date. How we used to have dates. everything. Even the ones that are most bitter.

How she told me she had an illness.

How she had cancer.

Despite all that.. we were together until her last breath. It was hard.

At least i did her one last favour. I finally proposed. We were supposed to make our vows the day after but she left me. She left the whole world. The night of our big day, She passed on.

Suddenly my thoughts drifted towards Di. I never thought someone could ever understand me. Guess i was wrong. She did. I just had the urge to meet her again. Maybe tomorrow we will.

Maybe tomorrow..
