A Christmas Wish Come True

Chapter Ten

Maria's POV:

I quickly put my phone away then kiss Amelia on the cheek and whisper. "Ami, i need to go grab something from my house, i'll be back in less than an hour."

She was half out of it but she nods slightly mumbling. "Mhm"

I just texted her what i was gonna do then run my fingers through her hair gently before whispering "i love you" in her ear softly, making her make a smile twitch at her lips.

I gently get out of the chair so I ain't hurting her then i make sure she stays asleep and put another text message saying that if she needs anything call me immedtly.

I finally after about five minutes of wondering if I should or not, i quickly jog out and go to my car as i call Josh.

He picks up the phone. Wow, really shocking.

"Where have you been?!" He yells, making me pull the phone away from my ear.

"None of your concern" i awnser back.

"You haven't paid the phone bill in awhile! I need the electricity!

"Get a job then." I reply getting in my car.

He grits his teeth. " What are you doing?! Cheating on me?!"

I laugh slightly. "In your mind i guess you could say that, but it doesn't help when all you care about is my money. You just wanted my money so you could get thoughs disgusting beverages in my house."

He sneers.

I just sigh. "Look, i want you out of my house and if I get home to you still there, i'll make sure you never get a cent from any job ever again."

He screams in frustration. "I'm the male here! I make the decisions!"

"Actually, I'M the one who has the skills to pay the bills, you're just lousy and don't do squat. Now get out of my house."

He grits his teeth and hangs up.

I smile as I drive home. He hasn't gotten the best of news yet.

I get home after about thirty minutes, but then when I get home, the house is a complete mess, and josh is laying on the couch drinking a beer.

I sigh. "Well, when i told you get out of my house and you hung up, i still had one more thing to tell you."

He looks at me and gives me a nasty glare. "What?"

"Is that i found someone WAY better than you and i am breaking up with you. I thought I needed someone there telling me that i look hot or pretty, but, no i don't. But the person i found actually cares about me and not just my money Mr. Cheapskate, so, i don't ever want to see you in my life ever again."

He glares at me some more then after awhile screams "Fine!" And walks out of the apartment with his bags, and instead of tears streaming down my cheeks, i just sigh of relief with a smile on my face. But my smile fades when I get a call from not Amelia, but from the hospital.

"Hello?" I pick up immedtly, already worried.

"Are you Maria?"

I nodded, starting to worry more. "Yes, yes i am, what's wrong?"

"Well, um, we have some bad news."

"Okay, what is it?" I started to freak out more, starting to pace.

"Your friend has only a weeks time to live. Usually with this type of cancer it only happens to be complete blindness, but since we caught the tumor so late, it grew to a deadly size that we can't shrink as fast as it'll grow."

I cover my mouth as I force myself not to sob.

"Okay." Is all i could muster before hanging up and tears starting to roll down my cheeks.

I quickly ran to the car with some stuff then as i was getting into the car, i see Amy, looking around for Amelia.

"Amy!" I yell as tears stung my face.

She looks over and sighs of relief not noticing the tears. "Where's Amelia?!"

I just shake my head pointing to the passengers seat. Her relived smile fades immedtly and she runs and gets into the passengers seat.

I quickly buckle as i drive the car as fast as I can (without going over the speed limit) and got to the hospital in half the time.

Me and Amy ran into the hospital and in less than a minute, we were in Amelia's room.

She looks weaker than an hour ago, and she looks really thin since she hasn't eaten in a week.

"Ami" i go over to her, tears in my eyes, and i don't care if anyone's watching, but i slowly and gently kiss her softly on the forehead making her open her eyes weakly and look at me.

"Hey Maria" she says quietly starring up at me. Her beautiful eyes have been taken to now a grayish color and there's barely any of her old color left. Telling me she's almost blind.

I bury my face in her chest and sob.

I can't lose her. I repeat in my head over and over. I need her, i love her.

Amy went besides Amelia then held her hand.

"Hi Amelia." Amy whispers.

She looks over weakly and smiles. "Hi Amy"

Amy hugs her close with tears in her eyes. "Please don't leave, i still need you."

Amelia just takes a shaky breath, not able to talk anymore.

Amy's POV:

No no no, this can't be happening.

Two weeks ago I remember dropping Amelia off and telling her I'd see her later, then comes to find out my mom is traveling the world and my dad's really depressed, so i was helping him while i dealt with stupid Britney.

I'm such a jerk for not even going to check up on Amelia. Then next thing I know, she has a girlfriend, and she only has one more week to live.

Tears are in my eyes as I hug onto her tighter.

"I can't lose you." I whisper.

She says nothing, then after about an hour of staying still, her body starts to give up, and she whispers. "I love you." And he body goes limp, her heart monitor stops, and her breathing stops.

"AMELIA!"
