WHEN BREATH BECOMES AIR

CAN WE PRETEND THAT AIRPLANES IN THE NIGHT SKY LIKE SHOOTING STARS

CHAPTER 40 : CAN WE PRETEND THAT AIRPLANES IN THE NIGHT SKY LIKE SHOOTING STARS

" While it's the thought of my time wasted that leaves me restless,

That there is my risk: The potential of my time wasted that is now I show you that you are worth me"

"Ms. Wolf, wake up" a voice similar to Lewis echoed inside my head.

"Lemme sleep" I groaned and tossed myself to the left side of my bed, sandwiching my head in between the pillows and brought my blanked near my face.

"Wake up, you dunno" cried th Devil aka Theo. I groaned and looked at the clock kept beside my bed. What the hell was he doing at 7 am in my house. Ain't he got anywhere else to go?

"What if i say.... No" i said gibberishly, half asleep.

Theo let out a frustrated sigh and ran his hand into his bronde hair. I grinned from inside my cover.

"Look Wolfie, I am telling you for the last time to get out of your bed or else..." he dropped unable to finish his sentence.

"Or what?" I asked.

"Or this" he said grabbing my ankle with his strong hands and pulling me out of the sheets, causing me to drop on the floor. If it wasn't for that fluffy and cushiony mat that rested on the cold marble floor, my butt would had been a pancake.

"uhhh... Why would you do this to me?" I groaned.

"I warned you" he said standing there grinning stupidly, if only i could break his perfect set of teeth, to build a window for ventilation. Or maybe a door would be fine. What about both of them? I thought.

He popped out his hand to help me stand but instead of taking it, I swatted it away. I, then with the help of the bed I sat on it.

"I am not handicapped" I said seriously.

"Lilli, you cannot walk, you can't even take a bath properly yourself, medically you are handicapped, stop hoping that one day a miracle would happen and you could walk again. Thinking this would only make it hard to face reality." Lewis said.

"Then why do you hope that someday you could meet your family? Don't it make hard for you to face reality?" I asked bluntly, realising how rude I sounded.

"Lewis, i am sorry, I didn't meant it" i said but only i knew that it could change the fact i hurted him, it couldn't rewind the wheel of time, because its not a TV serial that you could rewind your favourite part again and again, thinking it would last a bit longer.

"i know, you didn't meant to hurt me, you didn't meant what the rest would have think what you said, you didn't meant to say what you realised you said, i don't live in a fantasy, I realised it a long time ago that my family cannot come back but i can meet them, they always stay here, inside my hear" he said pointing to his heart."they were always there, they were always inside here, They are always with me, and i am always with them, the way you are with your parents" He completed and tears formed in my eyes.

Stupid Tear ducts.

stupid brain.

stupid me.

" Lewis can you call Anna so that she could give m a bath" I asked and he nodded leaving me and Theo alone.

the soft clicking and clocking of the wall filled my ears.

"I think I must go" Theo says and i nod, and he leaves leaving me alone in this room with Garfield.

A soft sob escaped my mouth and so did a hot tear.

I looked at the ceiling and then stroked the cat for a minute or two and then took out my diary out from under my pillow, and began to write not only my heart out but also my soul.

"As the time will elapse

My pain will become my happiness

My scars my wisdom

My passion will become incorrigible

And my faith would burn for something greater then me

For something so much more to merely subsist."

Soon there was a knock on the door.

Must be Anna, I thought.

"come in" I said and in came Theo.

"I thought you left" I asked.

"I did, but only to get this" he said streching his hands out to show a box wrapped with a brown paper.

"I am sorry, I didn't had the time to decorate" he said rubbing the back of his head with his hand.

"It's okay, but what's inside it?" I asked.

"Open up, to see" he said grinning stupidly and i still wished to built a ventilation in his mouth.

"If it's some kind of prank then believe me even your soul would be unable to find your dead body" I said.

"I know, and it is no prank, believe me" he said ringing his hand to his heart and giving me a reassuring look.

i took a deep breath and opened it up and inside i found a pendant with an infinity hanging out of it, with small words embedded on it that said ' thank you for the infinite love you gave me'.

i hugged him tightly giving him a slight shock and he hugged me back after his reflexes started to work.

"Thank you very much Theo, thank you very much for everything you did" I said digging deep inside his chest and he patted my head.

"Anything for you Wolfie, anything." He said.

"oh! And I forgot to tell you we had to go for shopping to buy some stuff for our trip and he grabbed my phone playing the song 'Airplanes' and gave me a small peck on my cheek, wetting it.

"Toothless, you know that it don't washes away" I say quoting this line from "How to train your dragon 2"

Theo laughs and his laughter fills my ear like music to my ears.

"please get ready till 4 pm, I will come to take you.

I nodded and wore the pendent round my neck. It looked perfect, not because I felt it, but because I was made of love, it was made of faith and hope.

And he leaves as the music plays on.

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky like shooting stars, shooting stars I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now...
