CONNOR’S P.O.V

We arrived at home in any 15 minutes and I was frantically running to my room, that’s the only thing I was thinking about.  I didn’t know why.  Soon as I came into the room and closed the door, a white tee on the bed attracted my eyes.

Connor,

Thank you for the lifetime friendship you share with me, I couldn’t ask for any better.  You seriously are the best friend of mine.  I can easily share my problems with you.  But not this one, at least until I decided to write this letter.  I love you with all my heart, from the very first day and I never regret any single minute I’ve spent with you. 

About Rob...there’s something that forced me to date him.  My Mom is dying; she’s in Hawaii right now.  My Mom’s doctor is Rob’s father.  One day Rob said to me that he loved me and asking me out.  But when I said no because no way I could leave you like that, he asked his father to stop my Mom’s treatment.  And he seriously did.  That’s not good for Mom, Con.  She could be dead by cancer anytime soon.  I have no money on that time to transfer my Mom back to Orlando or anywhere else.  So that was the only way to keep my Mom’s alive.  I have no proof to tell the cops about this, neither can’t argue any further.

Things became so complicated by the time you told me you love me, but I was denying my feeling for that reason.  And it’s killing me, you have no idea.  Maybe I love you more than you could offer me.  I love you that much.  I know I’ve lied to you and that’s not cool, I understand if you're mad at me.  I won’t be with Rob anymore but I have to make sure Mom’s okay.  So I’m leaving. 

Don’t ever doubt my feeling for you Con, you know I love you.  That’s not even a joke.  By the time I told you maybe I don’t match your life, I just want you to stay away from this problem.  I know there will always something to be confronted between you and Rob, you both weren’t best friends back in high school right, so…  But yesterday I received a call from Hawaii and they said my Mom is literally dying.  This is already complicated so I wrote the letter.

I don’t know when will you read this one but I hope you live your life.  Maybe this is the way I tell you that I apparently don’t match your  life.  You have great futures ahead, baby.  Chase after it.  Send my loves to Riley, Toby, Thomas, Chris, Mom Joan, and Dad Mark.  I apologize to leave inappropriately.  I love you baby, so much.  Wish we could have time to discuss everything properly.  I really wish.  I’m sorry.

Best wishes,

Miriam.

“Oh my God…”  I was pulling my knees against my chest at the corner of the bed.  She’s been through a lot this time and how couldn’t I know it.

“Con, are you alright?”  Toby stood in front of my room and suddenly screamed when he was seeing me.  “CONNOR WHAT HAPPENED?”

“She’s seriously leaving for Hawaii…”

“But we can’t go after her, I mean the schedule…”

“What time is it?”

“It’s 3.45, why?”

I opened the envelope at my desk and there was a copy of flight ticket with Mimi’s name on it.  This was her ticket.  There’s still a chance.

“Tobs, I’m going to the airport.  I’ll be back before 7.  That’s a promise.  But I have to go.”

“Connor wait; what are you talking about?!”

“I have no time to explain.  The thing is I know Mimi’s at the airport and I’m picking her up.”

“I’m going with you.”  Toby followed my way downstairs.

“Con we’re going with you.”  Riley stood up, followed by Chris and Thomas. 

I just couldn’t talk any further to them.  I concernedly drove the car to the airport.  Mimi should be still there and I really should make it.
