Cheryl's POV

I can hear familiar voices in the room, where am I? Then I see my mam, my brother, Nic, Sarah and nadine all crowding round.. my bed? No it's not mine. It's uncomfortable with very thin sheets, I'm in a hospital. What am I doing here?

"Cheryl, cheryl?? Oh thank god you're alive!" My mam screeches

"Where k-Kimberly?" I ask noticing she's not there

"She was here with you a couple of weeks ago but she said she couldn't be here when you woke up and then she uh left Newcastle, she packed up her stuff last week and just got on a train down to London." Sarah nervously fills me in.

"Wait.. Last week? But a few minutes ago we were in history. How long have I been out for?"

"Just over 2 weeks"

"Wow.. What? She's left Newcastle?! She can't!" I begin to cry

"Shhh come on dont cry love, you've got other friends too" my mam reminds me, then I remember I didn't tell her about us being girlfriends.

"No mam, she was my girlfriend" I tell her she looks confused at first.

"You never told me!" She hisses angrily

"Then we broke up.."

"Oh.. Cheryl I'm sorry! We usually tell eachother everything though!" My mam apologises softly

"I know mam I'm sorry too"

"Kim left you a note cheryl do you want to read it?" Nadine chips in.

"Yeah of course" nadine hands over a crumpled piece of paper. It says :

'Cheryl,

Get well soon! I came to see you, but I had to leave. Don't forget this; I will always love you. I wrote a poem for you. Read this and think of me, I will miss you. I love you chez.

Kim xx'

And on the back was a verse from Kimberley's poem. It said :

'I don't know if I believe

I'm everything this woman needs

But I swear on my soul

I'd rather die than let her go

She's been searching from the start

For pieces or her tattered heart <3

***

A week later the doctor gives me the all clear and I'm now at home. I miss Kim so much. I've tried ringing and texting but no luck, she won't pick up. After a few days it goes straight to voicemail so I stop calling, shes obviously turned her phone off.. To avoid me? I just can't cope without her. I'm not at school until next week and to be honest I would rather be there than here at home, it's so boring and if I was at school it would take my mind off kimba. My kimba. So many feelings rush through me when I think of her, I need to find some way to express them, so I decide to write a song about her.

'The morning cold and rainy

Dark before the dawn could come

How long will twilight waiting

Longing for the rising sun

You came like crashing thunder

Breaking through these walls of stone

You came with wide eyed wonder

Into all this great unknown

Hush now don't you be afraid

I promise you ill always stay

Ill never be that far away

I'm right here with you

You're so amazing

You shine like the stars

You're so amazing

The beauty you are

You came blazing

right into my heart

You're so amazing

You are, you are

You came from heaven shining

Breath of god still flows from fresh on you

The beating heat inside me

Crumbled at this one so new

No matter where or how far you wander

For a thousand years or longer

I will always be there for you

Right her with you

You're so amazing

You shine like the stars

You're so amazing

The beauty you are

You came blazing

Right into my heart

You're so amazing

You are

I hope your tears are few and fast

I hope your dreams come true at last

I hope you find love that goes on and on and on and on and on.

I hope you wish on every star

I hope you never fall too far

I hope this world can see how wonderful you are

You're so amazing

You shine like the stars

You're so amazing

The beauty you are

You came blazing

Right into my heart

You're so amazing

You're so amazing

You shine like the stars

You're so amazing

The beauty you are

You came blazing

Right into my heart

You're so amazing you are

You are'

"Hey cheryl. I just came to say that Kimberley rang me yesterday to ask how you were. But she won't ring again, I'm sorry" Sarah mumbles awkwardly not wanting to be the one to tell me.

"Oh. Well I'm fine." I answer slightly angry with the fact that she won't call again. Sarah nods slowly not knowing how to respond.

"You should probably go, I'm sure you've got homework, and I'd rather be alone." I say and she nods again, smiles at me and leaves.
