Until We Meet Again

Chapter 19 - Promise me?

"Is this Akabane Yua?"

"Yes who may this be?"

"This is the doctor, it's an emergency. Please come into our office as soon as possible. There was a mistake. Your lifespan was cut shorter. Please come before Wednesday, and you might be able to live more than a week."

"Am I going to die soon?"

"Sadly, yes. But we'll figure it out. You have one more week to live, you are expected to die next Sunday."

"Please don't tell my mom about this... promise me?"

My hear dropped, I was really going to die sooner than I thought. That explains my heart pain and the blood coughing lately. Today is Valentine's day.

"Are you okay in there? Almost everybody is here?" Chizu alsed through the door.

"Yes, I'll be out in a bit," I replied with a cheerful tone. I wiped my tears in front of the mirror and put on a smile.

I quickly logged in to my blog and typed:

[ What would you do if you had one more week to live? Who would you spend it with? Where would you go?]

I posted it and quickly ran out to greet the visitors. I wore a navy blue off-shoulder dress that showed my curves. Chizu and Akane gave me a thumbs up. I went up front, my breathing rough.

"Good evening! Happy Valentine's day! As you may know, my birthday was two days ago, February 12. A girl named Yua Akabane has the same. It's not a coincidence. My real name is Yua Akabane. I survived the crash with my mom, Hi mom! She decided to spend the last years of my life here, back home. I'm expected to die in a... when I'm 21. The crash gave me health problems and so I wasn't even supposed to be alive right now, but the doctors made a miracle happen," I said, and turning to Akahiro, "Akahiro-kun, promise me that you'll keep those necklaces safe. I loved you from the beginning." Tears were streaming down now, I couldn't tell him I only had a week to live. I couldn't tell any of them.

I walked down towards Akahiro and kissed his cheek before blushing madly. The visitors cheered. Akahiro stood frozen before he caught me in his arms and kissed me.

Soft lips I yearn to kiss when I say "I do"

I sobbed and hugged him. We caught up the whole night, treasuring moments as much as I could.

Kamisama, give me more time please...
