I ran to her and saw someone outside. He looked just like Cloud with short hair.
"Excuse me?" I tapped his shoulder.
"Is this the room of Denise Cloud?"
He turned around and he has the same eyes as Cloud's.
"Yes and who might you be?"
"I'm Chace Carter." I said hurriedly.
"Chace! I'm Mark. Denise's brother. We talked on the phone yesterday, remember?"
"Yeah, I do. How is Clou- Denise? Is she doing fine?"
"Oh, she's..." He looked around for a second.
"I'll just let you in. My parents are out buying some groceries."
*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Even if she's on the sad grey hospital bed, she still has that sparkle when I first met her. I sat beside her and observed her face. She was sleeping like an angel. Peacefully, not wanting to interrupt her. She was smiling, maybe having a really good dream.
Since it's been three days since I haven't met her, I really wanna talk to her so I just leaned in to her and whispered.
"Cloud, it's me, Chace." saying it slowly. She opened her eyes. It was shining. Her big black beautiful eyes were open. She's awake and smiling back at me. I always love it when she's smiling at me. And I miss her smiles, her laughter and giggles. Seconds later her smile faded away.
She tilted her head to see me and said,
"Chace? Hey."
She's forcing her smile now. Her black eyes became clearer up close. Maybe she's tired. But I really wanna talk to her, so badly.
"I bought us some ice cream, but it probably melted in my mouth when I took the elevator." I sighed and put a small smirk around my face.
"I should have walked through the stairs..." She care freely at my simple and quite stupid joke.
"Oh, Chace! I wish you had more common sense, but thanks for bringing ice cream. Even if it melted in your mouth."
She smiled and said,
"I was wishing something sweet, the nurse's only bring me healthy foods." She sighed then smiled again.
I smiled with her and felt guilty for eating the two ice creams.
"I'm sorry..." I looked at her and she looked at me like *what are you sorry for?*
"I'm sorry for letting the ice cream melt in my mouth.."
When I look at her she had the prettiest and priceless smile I ever saw. I was pleased with the view of her being happy.
"It's ok, I was just craving for sweetness."
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Later that night, it was almost 6:00 p.m., the curfew for visits. This was my last chance to tell her how I really feel about her.
I saw her eyeing on the door and said to me,
"Chace, have you ever wondered what heaven looks like?"
"I'm an atheist, I had no idea." I replied looking at her with pleasure.
"Oh," She sounded croaky.
"But I do know that heaven is everywhere or anyone like our family."
"Wow, I never thought of that."
"You know what else is heaven?" I took a really big breath.
This was it.
My final chance to confess it.
I let out my breath and...
"Freinds like me, Chace?" I couldn't believe what I just heard.
How'd she know?
Has she read my mind?
Did she hear me sing the Backstreet Boys' song?
Did she saw me look at the perfectly heart shaped cloud?
"Uhm, yeah... Friend." What was WRONG with me?
Why didn't I just say YES and tell her how I really feel?
I heard her sigh.
"Oh... Okay." she forced her smile while looking at me.
Me looking at her *guiltily*.
"Uhm, okay, no. Not as a friend."
"Huh?"
"Remember the first time we met, Denise?" I held her hand tightly.
Denise, I called her by her first name for the second time in a long time.
"And the first we looked into each other's eyes?"
She just simply nodded.
This is going awkward, really.
"Well, that was the first time I- I-" I took one big breath, let it out and said,
"I have fallen for you, Cloud."
She didn't say any word and it's getting more awkward than a while ago. I squeezed her hand tightly to make her answer.
"Cloud," I then took another bog breath again.
"I love-"
"You too." She had cut me off.
"What?!"
"I said *I love you too*." She smiled at me.
"I love you too, Chace." Her eyes focusing on mine.
I smiled back to her and focused my eyes on her, too. A smile that meant I'll do anything for her, I'll never give up on her and I'll be by her side forever.
My warm hands held her cold face and slowly went near her lips.
FOREVER.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
From the night I kissed her, the doctor announced that she was dead when the clock stroke twelve.
I can't tell you how she looked, but I can tell you this, to me, she'll always look stunning. Her family said that her face looked solemn, peaceful.
I touched my lips for knowing that even if i'm the so called king of the school, she was my first kiss. And I know i'm her first kiss.
That kiss meant to last forever.
