One Last Thing before i die

All Alone

 
             There's nothing like having cancer since you were 6, then having surgery that covered up the hole forming in your heart. I almost died.. My mom left and dad left. They had another child, they were perfectly fine without me in their lives... I just couldn't believe for the first time in my life I was alone, I've felt alone before but this time I was really alone. No one to talk too, no one to keep me company.. Not a soul.
             I decided that I should go out and have a drink, just over all hang a good time, after all I have survived a life time of cancer, plus a hole in my heart. It was almost 6 o'clock that means if I hurried I would make it just in time to buy a few drinks during happy hour. I got to the bar called "Tony's" right before 6.  When I walked in I froze at what I saw.. A Tall handsome man about 6'2" very handsome, he had wavy hair.. He reminded me of my 9th grade crush.. Toby. But it couldn't be.... Could it? I had spent so much time with the cancer treatment I had forgotten all about the guy of my dreams. He was the only one that actually cared enough about me to help me with my school. He was a Junior while I was a freshman.  One day he saw me walking around with my oxygen tank and I was having the hardest time, he came over to me. Picked it up and just started talking to me. His beautiful blue eyes and his wavy black hair was perfect.
           "Ashley is that you?" Huh? I thought to myself it couldn't be the handsome guy across the room... could it? *He walked up to me* "Ashley it's me Toby!" When he said those words my heart just melted, he remembers me from years ago. I started to blush.. Toby that's really you. You havent changed a bit. "Maybe I haven't but you have! That is all in a good way of course how are you?"

Toby's POV:
    I was just standing there talking to my college roommates about the football game when all of a sudden, I see her. The girl in freshman year that I adored. She was so strong and brave but I barely got to see her. She has cancer several kinds too. She was beautiful then, and she's even more than beautiful now. When I saw her I stopped talking to my guys and immediately went over to talk to her... Wow she is so beautiful when she blushes...

Ashley's POV:
He's walking up to me oh no! I look so ugly right now. He is gonna think I'm still that little freshman girl. When he said my name all I could think about was wanting to hug him and just be in his arms like I was in highschool..

You look amazing Ashley. How have you been?
I've been better. You've missed alot since you have been in highschool anymore. I'm glad I'm not either. (His smile just lit up the whole room.) I started to blush as we talked. Toby bought me several drinks and we talked all night. I was about to go back home when it all of a sudden I hear my name again.
"Wait Wait Ashely, here is my number text me anytime and I will be there for you when I can! Always. I've missed you." On a bawled up napkin read "Ashely, you've gotten more beautiful each time I see you, give me a call some time. (553)-229-0001."
I went to bed that not smiling until it hurt and even then I couldn't stop smiling. I put the bawled up napkin in my hand and ended falling asleep with it, in my arms.
Maybe I'm not so alone after all....
