“Hey, I know I’m gonna have to leave the world soon, so do me a favour.” She said.
“No, Daisy! You're not going to die, what about finding true love? Huh, I can’t even talk to girls without you. How am I going to do that without you?.” I said, with water springing in my eyes.
“Heh, you really can’t talk to girls, can you? I’m sure you’ll figure it out, though; you're smart, remember that math competition?” Tears were rolling down her pale face.
“Mhm yeah I do and we’ll make a bunch more memories because you're not going to die and you’ll make it through this.” I could feel my warm tears trail down my face now.
“Okay then. But just as a backup plan I want you to use this.” She reached under her pillow and pulled out a massive orange notebook.
“I got it in orange because I thought it would remind you of my hair when I’m gone. When that happens I want you to write to me every day in this. Got it? I don’t care how but I will find a way to read everything. After all, I’m going to haunt you for the rest of my life. I want to hear about everything that happens in your life. Especially graduation and all the important things. I expect one every day. No cheating. Got it?” She handed the book to me and wiped her tears off her face with her dirty sleeve.
“Oh my god, Daisy stop doing that I told you already to use a dammed tissue it’s gross when you do that. Only if you die I’m going to write in this got it?” I stuttered.I could barely form sentences now tears were rapidly falling from my face.
“Aww come here ya germaphobe .” She said as she pulled me in too hug her in her hospital bed.
“Just remember Kai, you are the best person ever and an amazing friend. I could not have asked for better from anyone. You’ve always helped me through the tough times and I’ve helped you. I hope you make it through this one. I know it’s going to be hard but I know you can do it okay. You can do it. You are the best. You Kai are all a girl could want in her best friend. I love you…platonically.” She whispered into my ear.
I chuckled at the last part. She was the only person who would tack that on in something so heartfelt.
“I platonically love you too Daisy” I replied.
“Good, you better. Can you tell everyone else I love them too just for a second time once I’m gone?” She whispered.
“Mhm,” I said tears still flowing from my eyes.
“I love you guys so much…okay…can you always remember that?” She reminded me
“Hey no, I won’t need to remember it because you promised you would fight the disease. You can say it and remind me once you're out of here. What happened to that? You can’t just break a promise and you said you were getting better. Did you lie? What happened to no lies? You can’t leave me like this you said you would fight it.”
“I’m sorry I won’t be able to tell you. I know I promised. But hey, I guess this is the one battle I lost, I mean you can’t always keep winning can you?” These were the last words she ever said to me or anyone else.
Then her hand stopped and I no longer felt the feeling of her heart beating in her chest. No, this couldn’t be happening. Why was she no longer moving? No, no, no, no. I screamed for help. I cried all I could remember was being dragged away from her body screaming and crying.
