It's Christmas day and I'm waiting for my girlfriend, Taylor Richardson. She was joining us for Christmas and was going to be introduced to my parents as my girlfriend. 

Taylor is a freshman at Rye High School and is 15. I'm a freshman at Rye High School and I'm 14. Taylor's birthday is December 5th, 2002. My birthday is February 5th, 2003. Taylor is exactly two months older than me. Taylor and I have been dating for two months now and every day it just gets better.

I'm sitting next to my twin sister Hayden and my younger two sisters, Christina and Olivia. We were opening our Christmas presents. My phone started ringing and Baby, which was Taylor, came across the screen. My family looked at me and stopped what they were doing. I answered my phone.

"Hey Tay. What's up?" I said.

"Are you Taylor's girlfriend?" A random voice asked.

"Yes. Is everything ok?" I asked.

"Taylor was hit by a drunk driver and is at Parkview right now. She was asking for you before she went into surgery," The man told me.

"Ok. Thank you for telling me," I said before I hung up the phone.

"Mom, Dad we need to go it is Taylor. She is in the hospital." I said as tears started to pour down my face.

Mom takes me to Parkview and I immediately asked for Taylor Richardson.

"Only family and her partner are allowed to see her," The nurse told us.

"I'm her girlfriend now let me see her. She was asking for me woman!" I said as I started to get angry. 

"Ok. She is in room 225 on the second floor," The nurse said before I ran to an elevator.

"Eva wait," Mom said.

"Mom please I love her and I feel like I'm going to lose her,"

"I know sweetheart but you have to stay strong. Taylor would want you too. Tell her I said Hi," 

"I will love you Mom," 

"Love you too,"


By the time I was in Taylor's room nobody was in there. She was awake and hooked up to a whole bunch of machines. I sit down next to her and grab her hand.

"Hey baby," Taylor whispered as she squeezed my hand.

"Mom says hi. How are you feeling, Babe?" I asked as I tried blinking the tears out of my eyes.

"Good I guess. I can't feel anything. The doctors say that I'm barely hanging on. They don't think I will make it to tomorrow." Taylor said as she motioned me to lay down next to her.

"I hope you do. I can't imagine life without you," I said as I laid down next to her.

"Eva you have to promise me that if I die today that you won't stay in your room every single Christmas day. The only day I would allow you to be alone in your room is my birthday. Eva I know it would be hard for you but please try to be yourself like you were around me. Try to find someone you can trust and will help you get over me," Taylor said as I heard the heart monitor machine slow down dangerously.

"Doctors ran into the room and pulled me away from Taylor as the heart machine stopped completely. I ran out of the room and ran straight to Mom.

"She is dead. Taylor died in my arms," I said as I started crying again.

"Shhh. She loved you and won't want you to think of the bad things that happened," Mom said as she hugged me and tried to comfort me.

"She made me promise that I wouldn't stay in my room alone on Christmas. But she said I could stay in my room alone on her birthday and our anniversary," I said as Mom put me into the car.

"If she made you promise that she must have made you promise something else," Mom said as she started to drive home.

"To be myself like I was around her and to try to find someone I can trust, that will help e get over her," I said as Mom pulled into he interstate.

"I won't make you come out of your room on Christmas because I know that you would rather be alone," Mom said as she pulled into our driveway.

That was how I spent the next two Christmas.
