Love In A Single Heartbeat.
Chapter 5
My head is spinning again and I began coughing. Then, little did I know that blood started coming out when I coughed and the next thing I saw was darkness again.
AT THE CLINIC …
The doctor had just check on Autumn.
“We can’t do anything here. Hurry and transfer her to a bigger hospital in town.” Said the doctor walking away.
“Autumn, I don’t think we can make it. Let’s go back.” Sky said to her.
“If I return like this, I may really die.” I said. “I really wanna see my tree. I think I could live longer if I did.”
“Autumn …” Sky was speechless. “Okay. Let’s go.”
He took her on his back again and they started on their journey.
“Hey Sky, I was wondering.” I said.
“Yea?”
“I wanna take pictures so we can always remember each other.” I said pointing to a photo booth.
“Okay. Let’s go.”
We went inside the booth and took some pictures.
“This ones really funny. I think I’ll keep it. Can I?” Sky asked.
“Yea, sure.”
“Autumn, look.” Sky pointed to the hill with a large tree at the middle. I smiled. Knowing that were getting closer.
He carried me and we both sat under the tree.
“Wow. It got really big. It’s even way taller than me.” I said looking up.
“Next year, It’ll be even bigger.” Sky said. “Let’s come back next year, alright? Promise me”
“Okay.” I said as we pinky sweared.
“Are you cold?” He hugged me.
“No, it’s warm already. Thank you.” I leaned on his shoulder.
“Autumn … Can I plant my own tree right here next to your tree?” He asked.
“Right here?”
“Yes. Trees never move and are always in the same spot. So if I want to stay here right next to you, I have to plant my tree right here. That way, I can stay by your side forever.”
I could listen to his trembling voice and I feel like his eyes are tearing up. I got weaker and weaker by the second.
Now I felt this sparkle building in my stomach. I
’ve finally realized that he really cares about me and that he loved me dearly.
My eye lids are getting heavier and heavier. I just couldn’t hold it anymore.
“Sky … I love you.” I breathed my last breath before I could even hear his reply. And in my dreams, I had a feeling that it was “I love you, too.”
