I wake up and I'm sweating . I reach over to check my phone and see that I got a missed call and a voicemail. I check my voicemail and it's from Mia .
Babe we need to meet up , I have some news to tell you , text me asap .
The phone hangs up and I sit there wondering what it could be . My gut is telling me I'm not gonna like this . I finally decide to get up and take a shower . The cold water hits me and Wakes me up . I go get dressed , I put on some black shorts with a white V neck shirt . I put on my black and white Jordans and I text Mia . "Baby , I'm just and ready I'll go pick you up in 10 " I close my phone and walk to the kitchen. " Well look who's up " My mom says . She's so amazing . She's sick , really sick but she's trying to fight and stay as long as possible. "Where's dad ?" I ask my mom , by the look on her face I already knew . My dad is the type of dad to stay out drink , and fuck other women and not care for the woman he was at home . I ignore the question I asked and grab something to eat real quick. " Going to see Mia?" She asks smiling . "I love that girl I swear " I smile and give my mom a kiss and head to the car. I have a cherry red 65' gt Mustang. Pretty bad ass car.
"I'm on my way " I texted her . The gut feeling I have won't go away and it's killing me. I hope she's okay... I arrive at her house and get off to go say hi to her mom and dad . They've been married for about 20 years now . It's a real cute story. I walk inside and there's her mom already in the kitchen . " I swear you live in this part of the house " I say teasing her . She smiles and yells for Mia. " How is everything ? How's your mom " She's asks . I stay silent for a second and finally say something "she's good , just trying to get better " I say looking at the ground . I feel hands wrap around me and I turn to see the most beautiful girl ever . " I swear your gorgeous "I tell her . " Alex you take care of her , y'all girls be careful okay ?" Her mom's says . I smile , hug her bye and we head out .
" So where are we going ?" I ask Mia. She looks down , she's just staring at the window not saying anything . " Is a park fine ?" I ask her trying to break the silence. She nods and still doesn't say anything . I see that she's wearing a Beanie which is new to me because she never does plus it's like 100 degree's outside . We pull into the parking lot of some park . "Come , let's walk around and talk " I say grabbing her hand , helping her get out the car. We start walking and I notice that she grabs my hand tighter . " What is it ?" I ask , feeling nervous for the answer that I'm gonna get back . I hear her take a deep breath and finally speak . " Look , I love you more than anything and I didn't mean for this to happen , but I'm sick" she says . I giggle and say "okay ? Then go get some medicine" she gives me this look that breaks me . " No Alex I'm sick , I have stage 4 cancer, there's not helping me " she says taking her beanie off . My heart drops and I'm speechless.... why? This can't be happening..... "since when Mia?" I say , trying to calm down . " Since the last month of school..." Rage takes over . " The last month of school!! Why the fuck are you barely telling me this !" I say raising my voice. I didn't get no answer . I'm so lost , so confused , so broken that I can't move or even think .
She grabs my hand while I'm driving and I can feel sadness . A tear falls down and I hold in all the other ones that are trying to fall. We pull up to her house and I look at her . " So what's gonna happen ? What you wanna do.." I ask her . She smiles and says ", enjoy my summer as much as I can before it's too late , I just wanna live to the fullest, help me ? " I smirk and say "I got you , go get some rest , I'll see you tomorrow or something , I love you Mia more than anything " we kiss and she gets off the car and walks inside. I stare at the house and feel nothing but emptiness. Damn I'm about to loose my mom , now I'm about to loose the girl of my dreams ...
"What the matter baby girl ?" My mom asks the moment I walk through the door . She already knew something was up . " Mia is sick , she has cancer ....stage 4 , she says there's no stopping it..." My mom starts to cry and I just look away and head to my room . I don't know how to react to this . My mind is completely blank . My heart , I can feel it breaking over and over again. I lay on the bed and stare at the ceiling. I gotta make this the best summer for her . I start to think of things I can do for her and one major thing hits me . She always wanted to get married to me . We've been dating since middle school , 6th grade I believe now we finished high school , finally graduated and I remember her telling me she always wanted to get married after high school so maybe I can make it happen. How ? I don't know but for her Im willing to find a way. It's kinds hard since we're both girls and people are soooooo against it but im gonna find a way . I've been saving up money since freshman year when I had those 2 jobs , just in case if something important were to go down . Now that I think of it I can use the money for this whole summer . I text Mia .
" Make no plans this whole summer , it's just going to be us . I want you to enjoy your last moments with me . I love you Mia so much , I'll see you soon ."
" Are you okay Mija ?" My mom asks . I nod but don't look at her . She comes to give me s tight hug and walks away . " Losing the 2 most important women in my life .... damn" I say . My mom turns and looks at me . She gives me a broken hearted look and walks out. I grab this scrap book Mia made for me . I flip through the pages and see all the memories . She looks so happy and so healthy. Tears start running down my face . I flip to one picture where it has us on graduation day . I smile and wipe the tears . I close the book and put it to the night stand . I lay back and start to doze off. Im going to miss her...
