I remember. I remember seeing the pain in her parents' eyes. I choked on my own words as I tried to stay strong. This couldn't be happening. Not to my precious Amelia.
I stood there looking down at the white floors of the hospital as her mother sobbed into her father's arms. "We can't tell her" I heard her mother speak. I looked up as their eyes traveled to me.
"Joel please don't tell her." Her mother begged as tears ran down her face. "I don't want her to live knowing about this. I want her to enjoy her life."
The lump in my throat made it impossible for me to speak. I nodded my head assuring her parents. "You can trust me." I managed to say. Her mother came over to me and hugged me tight.
"Thank you for always being there for her." She whispered. "She's important to me, I'll always be here for her. I'll make sure she enjoys these two last years."
Regret soon took over me as I mention 'two years'. Her mother tried to cover up the pain by smiling at me softly.
In two years it'll be it. In two years my best friend will be gone. By that time, I'll be 10 years of friendship. 10 years of me being in love with her and being afraid to admit.
I took my phone out and opened up my notes app.
"It's 2014, Joel and you got the worst news anyone can receive. You better make a move. Let her know how much you love her...
...before it's too late."
