My Little Creations//Short Stories

Melanie

I miss her smile, I miss her laugh, I miss her stories, ..miss her... I can never get her back anymore that smile was taken away from me...she was taken away from everyone. She brought to much light into everyones lives with her cheerful personality.

She had a dream. A dream to finish school and become a journalist, travel around the world documenting every event that occurs showing the world what she sees through her beautiful eyes, she was always so good at telling the world what she saw. She saw the good in almost everything, I remember when she was diagnosed with cancer she was still able to see the world as a positive happy place despite her situation, I always envied that. But because of that her dream was ripped away from her grasp.

As the cancer got worse and spread through her system she got worse. The doctors tried everything but nothing was working... everyday that went by she was still smiling and laughing lighting up our lives but we all know deep inside she was hurting no matter how hard she tried to hide it. But as the months went by she started to come to school less, it was getting worse she was admitted to hospital. Everyday I visited her she looked worse and worse, her smile didn't exist she wasn't the happy girl I knew anymore the cancer has ruined her... It ruined everything.

One day I went to visit her, I walked into her room and there were many people surrounding her bed, I pushed past them all to see her but she was just lying there on her bed still...

"She can't last one more day" Her mum said to me bringing me into her embrace.

This is it, my best friend is dying.

"Alicia?"

I look up at her bed, she's awake and looking at me

"Melanie!"I smile, seeing her awake

I walk over beside her to take her hand in mine "I've visited you everyday" I cry

"I know, you always seem so sad though why?" Melanie asks, pulling my hair behind my ear

"Be-cause I don't want to see you go..." I continue crying, I never want her to leave.

I look up and see her smile, Melanie is smiling, her beautiful smile lights up the room and even makes me smile, "I have to go Alicia I'm sorry but just continue to think about me okay?" She asks

I nod my head, wrapping my arms around her holding her tight never wanting to let go.

"Goodbye Alicia look after everyone for me, tell everyone what is happening just like I did"

Her arms fell off around me, the room was silent only filled with the sound of the long beep signalling her departure from this world. Just like that she was gone, her dreams, her smile, her laughter was taken from everyonearound her from everyone who she ever loved to never return...

Welp, I started crying writing the last part.
