"I thought we were the only ones left."
"We?" I say
He grabs my hand and takes me around the corner. I see a small baby wrapped in a towel.
"It's my sister. I found her on the floor all bloody but I couldn't find mom."
I picked up the baby and walked over to the car. I stopped at the store and grabbed baby supplies and some snacks for us.
"What's your name?"
"Felix"
"Do you have any idea what happened?"
" all I remember was hearing my mom scream leave my baby's and then nothing else"
We drove from store to store collecting things we might need. I knew sooner or later it would run out. But I tried not to think like that. Felix and I went back to the car and waited for Chris and the baby.
"Oh I forgot to tell you, I have cystic fibrosis, which means I have trouble breathing so I need to do breathing treatments."
"Are you okay right now? Can you breath?"
"I usually struggle at night"
Chris came back to the car and was doing a sweet voice to the baby.
" does she have a name?"
"Nope mom just had her. She was thinking about Carly or Keira."
"Let's call her Keira."
We drove the 20 minuets to my house and unpacked Felix and Keira's things and arranged the spare room for them.
We all sat on the couch kind of awkwardly. I finally asked Felix if he was hungry. I heated up chicken and Mac and cheese from couple nights ago. We all ate around the table. Chris fed Keira. He was starting to bond with her and it thought it was so cute. After dinner Chris went up to show Felix how to work the shower. I gave the baby a washcloth bath because she's way to little for a real bath yet.
After Felix and the baby were sleeping up in bed Chris and I went into my bed. My mom never would have allowed this. After a minute of silence Chris started talking.
" I have to tell you something..."
"Oh my god Chris what..."
" you are the most beautiful girl I have ever...."
I cut him off.
" you're only saying this because you have no one else. Don't do this to me Chris. Now is not the time. You know that I have loved you ever sense we became friends and now that we're the only people, you decide to tell me? Just stop."
I rolled over and went on my phone
" no Anya I promise it's not like that. I never had the courage to tell you because I feared you didn't feel the same, and I didn't wanna ruin our friendship.
I couldn't stop myself. I rolled over and cried into his chest. God he smelt so damn good.
"I'm sorry. I love you so much Chris and your the only person I have right now and I need you. I love you Okay? I fucking love you."
He kissed the top of my head
"Anya Gabrielle, I love you too.
I woke up to knocking at the door. It was Felix. He had his hand over his chest trying to tell me he couldn't breathe. Oh my god I forgot about his treatment. I woke up Chris. Chris scooped him up and carried him down the stairs. He set him down on the couch and I grabbed his oxygen machine. I strapped the mask over his face. His color started to come back and his breathing slowed. My heart was racing.
" are you okay on my god Felix, I am so sorry I forgot."
"It's okay I'm fine. It happens a lot, I'm just scared that one of these times I won't wake up."
I sent him up to bed. I brought the oxygen machine up just in case. I set it next to his bed, then went back to my room and crawled in bed. Chris came up a couple minutes later. Before I knew it I was asleep next to the love of my life.
