Chapter Twenty
*Tony*
"Claire. Please, please wake up baby. I need you. So much. I can't go on without you. You're strong. I believe that you'll pull through. I know you will." I leaned down to kiss her forehead. "I never got to say this to you but I love you."
And with that I walked out of the room to let Jessica and Mike have their share of time.
"Hey." Vic said. I nodded my head, acknowledging him. "I'm sorry." "I am too, man." I answered, fist bumping him.
"Beeeeeppppppp!" A loud machine screeched. Then Jessica screamed a ear shattering scream.
Vic and I looked at each other and ran to Claire's room.
"Nooooooooo!" I yelled and dropped to my knees. "Why?!!"
*2 weeks later*
I hate funerals. But it's for Claire, so I'm putting that to the side tonight.
Mrs. Fuentes began talking and when she was done, everyone went up to her casket. I was the last one.
I grabbed a turtle necklace from my pocket and put it in there. It was matching to mine. I was planning to give I to her when she came to my house but yeah....
I clasped it on her neck and kissed her forehead. "I love you Claire." I whispered.
At that moment, Claire's eyes fluttered open. "Tony." She mumbled.
She climbed out of the coffin and engulfed me in a huge hug.
"Am I hallucinating?" I asked aloud.
"No." Jessica said, bewildered.
*3 weeks later*
*Claire*
"I missed you so much. You know that right?" Tony said. We were both laying down on his bed, watching Netflix.
I nodded my head. "You've been telling me that for three weeks now."
"Well I want you to know the truth."
He said which made me smile even more.
"Woah oh oh oh. Sweet child o mine......" my phone rang.
Phonecall
"Hello?" I answered.
"Mija, donde estas?"
"With Tony."
"Well, I wanted to see you." Mrs. Fuentes said.
"Oh. Um... okay. I'll be there in a minute."
End of phonecall
"Who was that?" Tony asked. "Mrs. Fuentes, I gotta go."
"OK. Bye." Tony said. I gave him a hug and a kiss.
"Bye."
