Dark Times - An ALDC Story

Chapter 8: Final Wish

*OMG, so Chloe is going to die! Or is she? Yeah, she's going to die. Doctors don't lie kids. I'm hoping this is going to be an emotional chapter and I am going to try and pull off a really good tear creator! Thanks for all of the support. I'll c'ya later :p*

Chloe's POV:

My eye lids flutter open and I see all of the girls standing around me. A tear trickles down the side of my face. It's icy cold saltiness is wiped away by Paige's hand. Her hand feels so soft as it moves long my skin. Why am I suddenly aware of everything. "What happened?" I ask in a crockery voice as I try and sit up. I wince in pain as my scars dig deep into my stomach. Quickly the girls support my back. "Who should tell her?" McKenzie asked whilst she looked throughout the crowd. "Tell me what I ask," Getting worried now, am I injured? "Chloe," Brooke starts, she draws in a deep breath, "This is your last day to live." I sit in silence and stare ahead. "Oh," that was all I could say. Suddenly the clouds part and rays of golden sun shine onto me. The warmth on my body is pleasant. "We want to make it the very best, what do you want to do?" Paige asks. "I guess we shouldn't wait to lose anytime, let's go to the garden have a look at that and then let's go get some ice cream until we explode," I say while giggling.

We wonder through the garden and it's beautiful. The fresh air cools my body. We constantly stop to look at a new flower. By the time we make it to the end, we're all crying our eyes out. All of the moms take us to the beach where we go into a store with a brilliant view and get some ice cream. We talk about things. "We have a surprise for you Chlo," Maddie says. They wheeled me outside and the girls spread out on the warm white sand. "5, 6, 7, 8" Nia shouts and they start performing the group dance that we couldn't do on the night for my mom. It was beautiful, they span like gods and put some much effort in. I started weeping, I have never felt so happy. All of the girls rush over to me and give me a gigantic hug. I'm practically drowning in tears now. "I lov- love you gir- girls." I manage to make out.

We head back to the hospital and I spend some time with each girl. Alone they decided that once I did that, the girls would all come in and would stay until the end. I loved talking about memories and inside jokes with everyone, but the last person to come in was Paige. With everyone else I managed to just smile through the whole thing, but as soon as I saw her face we both started crying . She jumped into bed with me and we just cuddled up to each other. I suddenly felt a wave of guilt flow across me, how could I just leave all of my friends. "Paige, why am I so selfish?" I asked, I didn't even have the confidence to look at her when I asked. "What do you mean Chlo?" Paige replied confused on what I had just said. "Well, I never thought about you guys, you know when I.... I just left you to loose a best friend." I say weeping even more. I feel sick, really sick now.

Paige's POV:

"Chlo, what are you talking abo-" I stop, Chloe starts going flatline. I start screaming and the other girls come racing in. We all burst out into tears. The doctors came rushing in with defibrillators and quickly set them up. Thump. First charge unsuccessful, thump second charge unsuccessful. Come on Chlo. Thump. The third charge was unsuccessful. All of ththe girls started crying. The room started growing cold. I slid to my knees. Chloe was gone. My mom came and enveloped me into a hug. I unraveled myself and grabbed Chloe's body. The doctors came in to take her body away, no they couldn't she was mine! "Get away from her!" I scream, whilst practically snarling at the doctors. Honey, it's over let her go. I bury my head into her hair. I feel a tugging at my feet. "Leave me alone!" They eventually get fed up and just tore her away from me. They start writing down the time of death. "She isn't dead! I got to her and started talking, "Chloe time to wake up. Chloe talk to me. Chloe I scream." The doctors start moving the trolley again, all of the girls hold me down. "Paige its over, Chloe's dead," Brooke says. I thought she would be smarter than that. "You don't understand, she isn't dead," I say, but it's too late they have her.

*So, Paige definitely just had an episode. 😲 spoilers! The next few chapters are going to be a bit depressing just a heads up.*
