Once.. [COMPLETED] ^^V

Seventh...

"MIKE? Mike?" I shouted.

*tooooooot *tooooot

As I heard from the other line. And now, my tears ran down my face.

"What happened?" Asked mom.

"Mom. *sob I need to go *sob there. Mike needs me. *sob" I said.

"Why? What happened to Mike?" Mom asked again.

"I don't know. We're just talking then suddenly I heard a sound then the line went out.." I said while crying.

My mom hugged me and said, "It's okay Michelle, tomorrow is Saturday, we can go there. We will know what really happened to Mike. Okay? So, stop crying. Just pray about it." 

"Okay mom." I said as I wipe my tears away, went upstairs and I pray..

Hmm. I hope Mike is okay. :/

Tomorrow morning, my mom and I went through Mike's house. But we only saw his brother there.

"He's at the hospital. So you're the one that he has been telling me. I'm about to go there, do you? Want to see him?" His brother said.

I looked at mom and she nodded.

"Go, Michelle. I will just wait you at our house, okay?" I nodded. I turn to Mike's brother and we ride on his car.

"You're Michelle, right?" 

"Yes I am." I said.

"I'm his brother, Mark. By the way, didn't he mentioned about his sickness to you." I was like speechless there, I don't know. I don't know what he is trying to say.

"No. He didn't." I said.

"Well, he has cancer. And they said that it's getting worse.." I was shocked. 

"He...He didn't tell me.." After that I cried. I don't know. It's just that, Mike.. I love him. He's important. I don't wanna lose him. I wanna share my lifetime with him. I still wanna play with him. I still wanna sing with him. There's many things I wanna do with him.

"We're here." Kuya Mark's said.

I wipe my tears, and Kuya Mark opened the door for me, and as we stepped through the hospital, my heart's keep on beating like there's no tomorrow. We went to 3rd floor, and we headed through a room.

"Are you ready?" He said.

"Yes, I am. I wanna see how's Mike doing.." I said. He nodded and opened the door.

And there he lies. A boy, whom I loved. Whom I liked, is there. Sleeping. Wearing a hospital dress. I only wish he was just sleeping, with a chance of waking up. But then, no. He is there. Recovering himself through his sickness. A disease that is totally complicated and getting worse..

I sat behind his bed, watching him sleeping. Suddenly, I smiled. I smiled seeing his face full of strength and hope. 

"Hi Michelle." It's Mike's mom. I saw her in the picture. 

I stood up and said, "Good morning! I'm Michelle, Mike's friend." I said.

"Yeah. Mike's been telling us about you." And she tapped my shoulder.. "I know, I know what Mike's really feel. He mentioned that he didn't tell you about his sickness. He didn't want you to worry about him, but then, here he is, suffering because of it." She removed her hand and looked at Mike. 

She held Mike's hand and said.. "Mike. She's here. She's here to see you. So, please wake up. You didn't take your lunch yet." She sobbed. Yeah. Mike's mom is crying. I know how it feels. I know it hurts to see your son lying there, and suffering from his sickness..

Out of the blue, my tears started to fall again. And later on, Mike woke up. Seeing us crying..

"Mom? Kuya? Why?" Then he turned his head on me.. "Michelle? Why are you guys crying? And Michelle? How did you know?" 

His mom wiped her tears and said. "Thank God you're awake. Let us buy your food, okay? Go talk with Michelle.." And there, his mom and kuya Mark went outside to buy him something to eat..

My tears didn't stop from falling, but then I looked at Mike and smiled.. He wipe my tears and said..

"Stop. Don't cry. I won't leave you, okay? I promise.." And we both smiled..
