He walks by her everyday ignoring memories. But his attempts do not succeed. Memories stalk through the hallways like shadows upon a wall during sunset.
No longer will he be able to start the day with a smile on his face. No, he will face the day with a heavy heart.
He holds back tears throught the day, because it is tourture to see her move on.
But what he dosent know is every thing she is going through.
She is tired of hospatle visits. She wakes up every morning and takes lots of medication to get her through the pain.
She goes to school and hangs with people that can make her laugh and forget about her problems. Temporarily.
When she sees him walk by her memories rush at her like freezing cold air. Memories of simple times. Times that she didnt have to keep secrets from her own freinds and him. Memories that made her want to laugh and cry at the same time.
One morning he noticed that she wasnt at school he thought that she was sick and would be back tommorow or the next day.
But when friday came around and she wasnt there he began to get concerned.
That night as soon as he got hone he picked up the phone and called her
She picked up on the first ring.
"Hello?" She said sounding more tired than usual.
"Hi" He said surprised that she picked up the phone.
"Do you stil love me?" She asked sounding gravley serious. "Honestly yes why?" He asked counting his blessings that she asked.
"I still love you too" she paused and sighed "Would you take a bullet for me?" "Yes, anyday" he answerd he could hear the question so thick in his voice. She sighed and was silent for a moment. "Ive got to go i will see you monday" She hung up.
The following monday she wasnt at school. Her best friend pulled him aside, gave him a number and told him to call it.
He called the number and a nurse answerd "This must be a mistake i am looking for my freind Danielle" he said panacing "Shes in room 409" the nurse answerd sweetly.
He skipped the rest of school to see her. When he got to the hospatle the nurse led him to where Danielle was. When he enterd the room Danielles face lit up. He sat down at the end of her bed and asked her why she asked if he still loved her. Her answer was "I wanted to you say it one last time"
"One last time?"he asked
"Sir, viviting hours are over"The nurse inturupted.
He leaned towards her and kissed her for the last time.
That night danielle died in her sleep.
The next day Darwin didnt go to school. His mother found him with his head face down in a pillow and a gun in his hand. Next to him was a note that read "I told her i would take a bullet for her. I love you Danielle.
