The next morning on our way to school i saw an ambulance by this house. It was a young boy on a gurney. No! That was Christopher.!
"Mom. Christopher..." I said pointing out the window. Anna looked. So did mom.
"Well he probably got into some fight. Im telling you that boy is nothing but trouble." She said.
I walked into school and everyone was clapping for me. I was confused.
Carol ran up to me.
"KARLA!! Omg you actually hurt Christopher! According to Alexia you and him got into a fight in a tree in the woods." Wait she was there?
"Uh yea....." I said.
The rest of the day was quiet. I walked with Carol to every single class, sat with her at lunch too. Yet the whole time my
Mind was on Christopher. I knew something was wrong with him. After school i called him. He answered.
"Hey." He said in a sleepy voice.
"Where are you at?" I asked
"Um... Im at the hospital."
"Oh my god that wasnyou wasnt it!!! What happened."
They dont know yet. But i wont be at school for a good while."
" a week!?" I asked
"No. Two months..."
"That serious?" I asked.
"Yea."
I hung up and went to my moms car.... The next two months are gonna suck
~ 2 months later~
I was getting up for school. After Christopher was gone, noone really said anything to me, i get a phone call at 7:45. Its Christopher.
"Hey." I said.
" hey Karla." He said.
"You okay? You sound a little sick."
I said
"Yea um. I uh. Need to tell
You something."
"Okay...." I said.
"Um. I uh. I have cancer." He said. My heart stopped.
"You what?"
"I have cancer. " he said again.
"Are friends allowed back to see you!?" I asked
"Yea but-" and then i hung up.
"Mom we need to go visit Christopher."
"The troublemaker who flirts with my daughter? I think not." I couldnt hold it back anymore.
"Mom. I love him. Please."
"Dear god Karla you dont know what love is." She said.
" i didnt until i met him." I said.
She looked at me.
"He has cancer." I told her in a low voice.
" we will go friday." She said
"I have to wait 3 whole days?" I asked
She rolled her eyes. But i stayed with it better three then never
~3 days later~
" knock knock." I knocked on the door.
"Come in."
It was Christopher. His dad wasnt in there and my Mom is in the waiting room. It was me and him. The poor guy looked like he was gonna die any minute.
"What did the doctor say?" I asked
"He cant tell how long i have left. He said it could be any day. I have it bad. My body is cancer. Its everywhere."
I started to tear up. I held his hand.
"Look. No matter what happends.. I will always love you. And no matter what you will always be my trouble maker."I smiled and he did too.
"Thats all i have been wanting to here." He said.
"I love you too. And your my troublemaker."He got quiet and fell asleep or so i thought. It was dead silent. The heart monitor went dead. So did Christopher. A bunch of doctors and nurses ran into the room. I started crying. The started CPR on him and shocked him. One nurse came over and hugged me
I told her i wanted to stay. She said okay. After about ten minutes they stopped. They looked at me with sadness in their eyes. It didnt work. He had died. Christopher is gone. And now i am running to my mom crying. I told her and she just held me close.
" i am so sorry." She said.
I was too yes. I really was.
