Hold Me Darling (Adam Young / Owl City Fan Fiction)

Chapter 21

Andy focuses his eyes on me, I could melt in a minute. "Are you okay, Adam?"

I shift myself into a comfortable position, delve myself in the couch and feel my throbbing heart, "Yep,"

"C'mon, Young. I've known you since you were 12. And now you're like what, 38?"

I cough. "Don't you mean 22? We're only 2 years apart."

"Yeah whatever, but can you tell me?"

"I swear to God, Andy. I'm fine."

"I know every inch of you."

"Really?"

"You have a mole beside your left eye,"

"Umm,"

"A little birthmark on your arm,"

"Uhuh,"

"And another one on your right butt cheek."

"Yeah- WAIT WHAT?! ANDY, how do you know those?!"

He clears his throat, "Soooo, It's about your girlfriend, isn't it?"

"Actually Andy, yes."

"What about it?"

"She has Leukemia,"

Andy gazes at me with his eyes wide open.

"And her heart started to fail due to severe ane-"

"Anemia?" He continues me.

"Yeah." I swallow hard, "and I'm donating mine.."

"WHAT?! Are you serious!?"

"Andy can you let me fini-"

"Adam, this is the first time you've gone crazy for a girl!" He gulps, "Oh, wait no, Annma-"

"Shut up, I'm being serious right now. I owe her my life."

"Really?! How?"

Flashbacks slurred in and out of my mind. I gaze deeply at the water bottle until the background blurs and I start to remember.

Flashback

My doorbell rang and I opened it. My eyes glistened with pure bliss, it was Annmarie.

"Welcome back!" I hug and kiss her excitedly, but she pushes me back and groans.

"I'm not here to get back with you, Adam."

My whole world turned upside down and I could've sworn that the stars slowly dimmed, "No, Annmarie. I've waited a year and a half for you. Didn't you say you'll come back just after 6 months?"

"Adam, you see, I can't explain." She rubs her nape nervously and look behind her, there was a guy riding the red convertible I once used to drive for her. The guy waited for us impatiently, pressing on the horn every 5 minutes and so.

I, struck speechless, struck in the heart, and struck in the mind, tried to let it all sink in.

Only if it was that easy.

"I gotta go now, Adam. Wish to see you there." She hands me a shiny invitation colored silver.

I didn't hold it tight, so it slipped and she picks it up, puts in in my hands again, and closes my hands using hers.

I slowly gaze at the invitation, You're cordially invited to Annmarie Monson and Harry Benson's Wedding!

She gets back in her convertible and drive away, while I leave my house and walk slowly out of the house, trying to take everything in. 

I spot a car and try to walk slowly as it comes nearer and nearer, about to end my life.

Just when I was an inch close to getting hit by a car,Bam. A girl pushed me. "Dude, are you trying to kill yourself?" She says out of complete worry and dusts herself off.

She had dirty blonde hair and her ocean stricken eyes. I gazed at her deeply, and that's when I knew.

My life was gonna change forever.

End of flashback

Andy waves at me, to see if I'm listening to him. "What was that?" I ask.

"I said, how do you owe her your life?!"

I told him the whole story and he tried to understand me. "I'm with you, Adam. Whatever your decision will be." 

I nod instead of replying, wishing nothing goes wrong with my decision. Both of us embrace the silence. After a while, he takes out a fresh set of comforters and pillow cases. It was getting darker, and he suggested that I go to sleep since it was a long flight. 

He went to his room and I get out a pen and paper, and start writing.

To Brielle's future man,

Brielle was- and certainly is, the most wonderful and beautiful person I have ever come across in my 22 years of living. Please take care of her really well, and value her like you would for a diamond- except she's worth actually more than just that.

I figured out that I should make a note for you, because you play a big role in her life, and soon, even marry each other, and as always, I want her to be happy, so here are the things you should get to know about her. I don't want her to get hurt bad again, and I want you to know these things. 

Brielle is that type of person who hates being shouted on, because it gives her anxiety when people do that. Please always try to be calm when speaking to her.

She gets random asthma attacks whenever she feels something intense. Her nebulizer is always on the right side of the bag, it's color purple to be exact. Stroke her hair and kiss her forehead, it'll calm her down.

She also loves playing Halo, but hates losing. If you both play together, let her win. That feel of loss you'll be feeling will be replaced by her grin so warm it could melt an icy heart.

Also, she loves dogs- she has a dog named Riley, which you've probably already figured it out already. Riley doesn't eat anything other than PEDIGREE beef.

She has a sister. Her name is Miranda. She's is one of the cutest little girls I've ever known. She loves Forever 21 and Hot Topic. Her waist line is 26 and mostly fits in the medium size.

I wrote this for you as Brielle could be really hard to figure out sometimes. Don't let it be the reason for you to quit on her. 

A lot of tears were shed while I wrote this, and as much as I wanted the both of us to work so bad, I had to do this in order to save her life. Without Brielle, I'd be dead anwyays. She saved me from getting hit by a car. Right now, I can finally say I'm ready to let go of us.

Please take care of her, bro. She's a million dollar charm & beauty.

Good luck to the both of you.

-Adam
