JUST ONE MORE WISH - CHAPTER 21
(Last wish 💔)
Gianna 😭💔
I’ve stopped crying and praying for Wesley to call me back. It’s over two weeks since he sent me away. I’ve accepted my fate, I just wish I have the power to protect him. I have three days left, I could feel life sapping out of me.
I wish he’d admit his fears and I get to see him one more time.
Still, I can’t go without completing my last wish. I was lean now and weak. I stood up from the bed with determination and changed my clothes.
Matt has been a darling, it’s a pity I didn’t fall in love with him instead.
Matt💔💔
Gosh….. I’m so scared of her sanity. It’s over two weeks she left Wesley’s and he hasn’t even bothered to ask after her. He didn’t call me.
Her silence scares me a lot because one can never know what running through her mind. Yes she stopped crying which is a good thing but she has been deadly silent.
“Where are you going?” I asked when I saw her come out of the room all dressed.
“I’m out for my last wish”
“Where? What’s it?” I asked
“You’ll find out soon enough” she replied and closed the door.
I quickly took my jacket and went after her.
“What’s the last wish, tell me?” I insisted.
“Get hit my by a truck” she replied defiantly, eyeing me to dare stop her.m, we were walking on the road
The argument died in my mouth as I thought of ways to talk her out of it.
She stopped and looked at me “you can’t talk me out of it Matt” she gazed in to my eyes intently and loosed the last two knots on her bracelet.
“One of this knots is to get a second chance and since life isn’t ready to give one. It’s alright and the last one is for my last….” She was still saying when a truck hit her.
I stood frozen for several seconds, trying to comprehend what just happened. The truck had ran away.
As if being released from some sort of spell. I was kneeling before her , her head on my laps and calling the emergency line.
She opened her eyes slowly and smiled painfully “Last wish completed”
“Are you crazy?”
“I have nothing to lose, just want to know what it feels like. She’s going to die any way.”
“Now you are crazy” the ambulance arrived quickly.
“Promise me not to make charges against the driver. It want I wanted to do anyway.”
I ignored her and stood up as the paramedics placed her on a stretcher and wheeled her to the ambulance.
I followed them and called my friends to make a search on family as soon as possible. She has three days left and she needs to be with her family.
When we got to the hospital, I stood outside instead, making calls and preparations.
Four hours later, her family came rushing in to the hospital with fear.
I directed them to her ward and stood beside a wall, trying to give them private time.
She woke up that exact time and smiled in surprise at her family.
She searched around the room and her eyes rested on me, she motioned for me to come closer.
I got my feets walking and stood beside her, holding her right hand while her mum held the left. She looked very pale, her face white as sheet.
“Thank you” she mouthed.
“Didn’t I tell you not to die earlier?” Her sister asked through tears.
“Well I survived this long on my own” she replied.
“Where’s the last knot?” Bianca, her best friend asked.
She shrugged ” I loosened it, it wasn’t helpful”
“Where’s Wesley?” She asked
I shook my head in response, my heart breaking. She deserves to know the truth before she goes. Wesley needs to appear, she can’t keep believing it’s because of rivals. He needs to admit his fears”
The alarm suddenly went off, her heart beat increased.
The doors burst open, doctors and nurses rushed in to attend to her.
Soon her heart beat became stable and she slept but I saw the lone tear that made it’s way out of her eye.
I made myself invincible and decided to make the call I’m supposed to make since. She needs Wesley.
As I went out to make the call, a doctor stopped me ” She doesn’t have much time, anything can happen anytime.” He said with urgency and pity.
I dialled the number angrily.
📞 “Dude you’re stupid”
📞”What’s that supposed to mean”
📞”You broke her heart, she cried for days”
📞” I had to let her go because of the rivals” he replied
📞” Stop deceiving yourself idiot, you asked her to go because you were afraid besides they want me not you. It does stop you from doing anything”
📞”I..” he started to say but I cut him off
📞” You are the most stupid dude I’ve ever come across with. She loves you dude not me, she confessed to me and she’s waiting for you in the hospital to admit your fears and say you were really scared”
📞” Why’s she in the hospital and stop calling me dude! I’m throwing a punch your face when I see you.
📞” I thought she had three days left and the doctor said she doesn’t have time much longer so get your @zz here and oh, I’ll be the one throwing the first punch on your face.” I replied and hung up quickly.
He’ll be here soon. Hang on a bit Buddy, your Love is coming.
