Meant to be

" How could you have been so blind? You know that I loved you. And I still love you. But I've always thought that you had someone you like. I was just to afraid. Afraid to be rejected and alone. I love you Mei.! I always have. Please ... Please give me a chance. Give US a chance." tears were coming out of Jei's eyes and so I embraced him.
" Me too Jei. Me too. Let's try. I don't wanna be bestfriends forever. Thank you Jei. Thank you so much for loving me. I.... " i stopped and looked at him in the eye. " I love you too. "

A few months have past and were now in fourth year highschool. Jei and I have been together ever since then. But not the "together together." No no, we never got that down. So we decided that we shouldn't be "together together."
We became closer than before. Kaito and Haruka are together and Shine transferred schools. Her mother said that she should be move to a more difficult school. I miss her.

" Mei.. " I turned around to see who it was. " Mei I uh... I have to go." It was Jei.
"Go where Jei? I'll go with you. " I said. He looked away placing one hand on his arm rubbing it up and down. When he does that, it's always something serious.
"I .. I'm leaving Mei. My family... and I.. were migrating to France. I'm really sorry Mei." He said and then I heard a cry. Jei was crying, the strong little boy was crying. I came closer to Jei and embraced him. He accepted it and also hugged me back." Were leaving tomorrow. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you Last weak. I mean.. you were having such a hard time. And I didn't want to make this miserable for you."
" I understand Jei..." I said then looked away," I really do, but tomorrow? Seriously? Your leaving tomorrow? How.. Why... "
Jei gently put his index finger in front of my mouth and , " Shh.. Mei. Stop., don't you dare cry on me. I know your stronger than that."
My eyes started to hurt and started to burn. I started feeling liquids in my eyes. Then it fell to my cheeks. Later, I found out that I was crying. I turned around and ran as fast as I could. I had to be strong. For Jei, but I left him there. In the garden but why now? Why tomorrow?!
The day had past so quickly and I hadn't noticed that this was the day that Jei and I would last see each-other.I went to Jei's house and gently knocked on the door. I was waiting long until I had lost hope. He probably left already. They probably left already. As I started to walk away, I heard the door open. I stopped and turned around.
"J-Jei?" It was Jei at the door. I ran up to him and started to hit him. " How could you... I thought you left me! without saying goodbye.! I thought... I .." Jei grabbed my shoulders and started to shake me.
" Mei!! I would NEVER leave you. You know that. Don't you?" I looked up at him and asked,
"Why.. are you still here??" he wipe my extra tears and told me .
" They let me live here. Instead of moving with them. Isn't it great?! I get to stay here! We can be together forever!!" Jei lifted me up and twirled me around. " Why are you crying Mei?"
" I .. It's nothing. I'm just really happy. " I lied to him. There were tears in my eyes because of ....

Few days later ....
Jei's Pov~
"That day... "
~~* Flashback*~~
" They let me live here. Instead of moving with them. Isn't it great?! I get to stay here! We can be together forever!!" I lifted Mei up and twirled her around. " Why are you crying Mei?"
" I .. It's nothing. I'm just really happy. " I was happy she was okay. But I knew that something was off. ..
~~* Flashback Ends *~~
It was really because...
" Because I'm dying Jei. I never wanted to tell you. " She was crying... " B-be-because... I didn't wanna leave you. And.. and I didn't want CHU to worry. I love you Jei! and I always will... "
I hugged her and told her," I'm never going to leave you! You can get through this. Together with me. I know you can... " I wiped her tears away and hugged her tighter. Her doctor came in and and told me that she'll have to go through surgery. But he said that the surgery might fail. Which will bring her sudden death. I was afraid,but ... she had to. Mei HAD to do the surgery ... or ... she'll die without trying.
The next day arrived and she went through the surgery. The doctor told me that the surgery would last for 3 hours. The hours ticked by and by. Its been more than three hours. I keep walking back and fourth. Getting coffee and energy drinks. None of them helped. Its now ten at night and the surgery started at nine in the morning. What could've gone wrong?
After hours of waiting, the doctors finally came out. They had a sad and depressed look.
" Whe-where's... Mei?" I asked them. The doctor of Mei and for some privacy and they left. He looked at me seriously.
" She's okay. The surgery was a success, but there was a side affect... She ..." My eyes widened and face dropped. The doctor started to laugh and told me it was a joke.
"What ! So your saying that she's really okay???! "
"Yeah yeah. She is. She'll be discharged by the end of May. So it's okay . But she'll stay here for a month for treatments. So yeah. I guess it's all good. Oh. and your free to visit her anytime." The doctor smiled and walked away . I'm glad she's okay.

A month has passed and Mei will finally be discharged today. I brought a stuff animal with me and I entered her room.
"Mei? It's me, Jei. " I said sitting down beside her.
"Hi Jei. I missed you. Even though you visit every day. " She giggled at her own silly joke. It made me smile and I hugged her. I didn't know why I did, I just did. " Jei? Are.. you okay?"
"No Mei. I'm not okay. I thought I was going to lose you. I thought... " Mei stopped me.
"Shhh... Jei. I would NEVER leave you. No matter what. " she said the same words that I had said to her. On the day I was suppose to leave. But I didn't leave her. Because I couldn't leave her.
" Forever Mei? Please... stay by my side forever. " I put my warm lips on hers and I could feel our connection. We were forever...
"Of course Jei.. I will." We put our heads together and smiled at each other. We finally got through our biggest challenge. That was getting out of the "zone".
We knew, that from the very start... it would be us. We started together and we would end together. Even through the hardest time.
