Those Three Dreaded Words (o2l fanfic)

Chapter 20

Ella's p.o.v

We put out our bonfire and went to my house. I went to my room to put away my filming stuff, When I smelled smoke. I grab a bag and rapidly begin to pack important stuff. The smoke becomes thicker as I finish. I run out the door and see everyone. Except Nayeli.

"Nayeli!" I scream running towards the small house engulfed in flames.

I feel JC and Connor pull me back.

"Stop!" I scream at the top of my lungs.

They don't let me go. Finally, after 20 minutes of screaming I go to the O2L house and run to a bathroom.

"Ella, it's Kayla." I hear her voice say.

I unlock the door and she walks in.

"Hey, she's in the ambulance." Kayla says, frowning.

"Do you want to go?" she asks.

I nod and get up. We go in her car and drive away.

After we get there I go to her room. She is awake, but hooked up to many monitors.

"Hey, I wanted to talk to you." She says.

"I might not make it. But I love you. You are my best friend and I love you. Stay strong. Okay?" she says.

I nod my head and hug her tightly. we sit like that for a while when finally Connor comes in. I walk out but stay by the door.

I hear them talking, Connor apologizing. I sigh and sit down.

Connor comes out and sits in the waiting chair next to me. He hugs me tightly and I fall asleep in his arms. I wake up and look at the time. 2:30am. I nuzzle up closer to Connor and fall back asleep. I dream about Nayeli. It wasn't really a dream, but more of a flashback. Of everything that had happened. I jolt awake from my dream and see Connor already up, smiling down at me.

"What time is it?" I ask.

"12:00." He replies.

The days pass by, everyday the same.

"I love you." Nayeli tells me.

"You too." I say, fake smiling.

She drifts off to sleep slowly. I get up from the uncomfortable waiting chair and sit on the edge of her bed.

"I love you." I say.

After listening to her heartbeat for about 20 minutes I hear the beat change. A long, steady beep arrives instead of the changing beats. The beat signaling her heart had stopped beating.

"No!" I scream.

"No, this cant be right! She's just sleeping. There has to be something wrong!" I holler as doctors rush in. No. I can't lose another person I love. Not again.

I feel Ricky and Kian pull me back and I see Nayeli's mom holding Skyler, Nayeli's little 5 year old sister that had always loved me.

I see Connor come up to me and he hugs me tightly.

A moment later Skyler comes up to me and taps my shoulder.

"I'm sad too." she says tilting her head slightly. "That I won't see sissy again."

I frown and pick Skyler up. "Sky, you will see her again." I say walking to the window.

"Do you see that REALLY bright star?" I say

She nods her head.

"That's Nayeli." I say and smile.

"Hi Nayeli!" she says brightening up a bit. I put her down and leave her at the window. I walk back over to Connor and smooth out my sweater with a pink heart over the center if it.

I ask him to drive me home and he nods.

The next day I don't get dressed and sit in my hotel room, thinking about, her.

Connor walks in my room and sits next to me.

I wish u could say sincerely say Nayeli believed she would get better, that she was positive until the end. But that just wouldn't be the truth. The truth is that this world doesn't always give you what you want. The truth is that it always rains the hardest on the people who need more sunshine. The truth is that people in this world lie, and say that things will work out when they don't.Thats the truth.

"Ella," Connor says, waking me from my daydream.

"I love you." he says.

"I love you too." I smile.

The words I have been dreading, those three words. I finally said them

I love you.
