~Skylar's P.O.V~
One choice and that choice had to be made by me.
No one else could decide, but me.
It wasn't hard to choose. It was a life or death situation, and I wanted to live, but I knew it wouldn't last long.
After testing me, the doctors told me something that they didn't tell my family, and nor did I want them too.
I didn't have a month, I had only days. One day to be precise. I told the doctors not to tell them though.
I didn't want to worry them.
They didn't need to worry, so the nurses did what said, and didn't tell them.
It was my choice, and now that I noticed, everything seemed to be my choice lately.
My choice to tell my parents.
My choice to live or die, but the only thing I didn't choose was to be sick.
But really, it wasn't my choice at all. I was still going to die, and there was nothing I could do. Nothing the doctors could do either.
I had one day, and I wanted to spend it with the person I care for most.
Cerise.
~Cerise's P.O.V~
I was glad once Skylar decided to stay.
Actually, I was more than glad, I was ecstatic.
Today she said she wanted to spend the day with me, and I was more than glad. We had our whole day planned.
First, we would go to the movies.
Second, out to eat at Macaroni Grill.
Third, to the mall.
Fourth, Barnes and Nobles.
And last but not least, Fifth, to the park.
It was going to be a long day, but it was worth it because I would be spending time with my sister, and I would cherish whatever time we had left together.
"Hey, Skylar, are you almost ready?" I ask, making my way to the front door.
As I wait, I hear faint footsteps coming towards my direction.
"Ready." She says, and we grab our bags before walking out the front door.
We had the whole day together, so I decided to take the subway so we can enjoy the scenery as we drove past it. Also, since we are heading into the city, I don't want to be spending hours in traffic.
Once we reach our platform, we get our transportation cards out and ready so we can get on the train.
"Hello girls, I see you're going into the city today." Says the bus driver, that happens to be someone we knew.
"Hello, Miss Granger. How have you been? Long time now see." I say and she gives us a wide smile.
"I've been great, what about you two lovelies?" She asks, and we take a seat in the seats by hers.
"Well, I've been okay, besides going to the hospital every day this week," Skylar says, and from my angle, I see the worried expression on her face.
"But you're doing okay now right?" She asks and I look back at Skylar to hear her answer, but before she answers, her face makes up an emotion, but I can't make out what.
"Yeah, I'm doing okay." She says and begins to twiddle her thumbs, and that's when I notice. She's either nervous, or she's lying.
I'll ask her when we get off the bus, or later on today. I don't want to ruin our day.
I think as Miss Granger begins to drive.
Since we didn't want to distract her while driving, we finish the conversation, and I pull out my phone, only to be greeted with a load of texts.
Maddie~ Hey, how's Skylar doing? I saw you guys leave school yesterday. Is everything okay?
I read her text, and go to answer when I get another. Except it wasn't Maddie this time.
Nolan~ Hey C, we haven't talked in a while, and I wanted to check to see if you're holding up. Is Skylar doing okay as well? Any news?
I read his text, soon realizing how much I missed then. I missed spending time with them, and I missed how close we all used to be. Even though we're only one week into school, I haven't really had time to hang out with them.
Me~ Yeah, everything's going well. Skylar and I are currently spending the day together. It was her idea, but I'll talk to you guys when I get back home.
I reply, but before I exit out if the group chat, I check to see if Addy and Blake have replied, which I soon realize they did.
Addy~ Kk, ttyl, but be sure not to leave out any details from the story later on.
Blake~ Okay, well have fun, and make good choices. We'll talk to you later.
They say, and with that, I exit out of the group chat, grab my ear buds from my bag, and put on my music. Drowning out the rest of the world.
It wasn't long until we came to a stop, but before we get off, I listen to the rest of the song that was currently playing. I never really paid attention to the lyrics until now.
Baby, you were my picket fence, I miss missing you now and then. ~Fall Out Boy, Miss Missing You
Could this song not be truer? I mean, yes, I listen to music all the time, but I never really paid attention to the message behind each song.
Maybe there is a reason it came on? Maybe there is a reason I actually started listening to the words?
I ask myself these questions as we walk to our first stop on the list. The movies.
