JUST ONE MORE WISH - CHAPTER 22
(Last minutes 💔)
Wesley 💔
I drove very fast to the hospital, I’ve never been so scared in my life.
I’m a coward, I know that.
This past days my life has been hell, I needed that call. Thank God for Matt, he has always been the most sensible one among us.
Matt💔
I walked back to the ward few hours later and found her awake. Wesley hasn’t visited too.
“Hey” I smiled at her
“Hey” she replied weakly.
I scooted a chair to her bed and help her hand in mine. “I have a confession and hope you don’t h@?? me when you hear”
“Even if you told me you ki||ed Wesley or you have always been against our love, I won’t h@?? you” she said.
I took a deep breath and looked in to her eyes “My name is Wesley Steves”
Her eyes widened in shock
“Yeah” I nodded “The Wesley you know is Matt. We switched identities so I can find the culprits and avenge my cousin’s death”
“Matt has been my best friend since childhood even though we are from different backgrounds. He offered to help me, Dad doesn’t know about this too that’s why Matt is always wearing mask.”
“Soo….” She tried saying
“Yeah, he knew they weren’t after him. He was really scared.”
“Soo….” She tried saying again but I cut her off
“Yeah I’m the real president’s son. I’m so sorry. I should have gone back to office but I knew it wouldn’t have changed a thing”
“Soo..”she tried saying
“I’m…” I wanted to cut her off but she beats me to it.
“Listen to me Cute stranger” she smiled broadly “technically, I haven’t kissed the president’s son.’
“Omg Gianna, how can you think of this?”
“I think you should give me my kiss”
I shook my head and placed a kiss on her forehead “a kiss is a kiss dear”
The door opened and the real Matt came in.
He looked leaner and rough. I stood up and punched him in the face.
“I told you I’ll be the first sending the punch in your face” I gave him a parting glance and left them.
Real Matt💔
I didn’t bother returning the punch Wesley gave apart from the fact that I am no match for him, I deserved the punch.
I looked at Gianna on the bed, she looked very weak and pale.
“I’m sorry, I was scared”
“I h@?? you for that” she said softly.
I went over and grabbed her hands. The sight of her broke me a lot.
“I fell in love with you when I saw you in my office. I didn’t want to believe that you would die soon. Had it been I’ve accepted the fact, we’d have more happy memories. I wish I could turn back the hands of time.” Tears were streaming down my face heavily. I made no effort to stop it.
Gianna 💖
“That’s what I’ve been waiting to hear. Guess I can go happily now” I smiled
“I’m so sorry” he kissed my hands.
I could feel life slowly seeping out of my body.
“I love you Big daddy” I tried giving him a lopsided grin “do well to take care of yourself too”
“Thank you for coming into my life and loving me, I could never ask for more” I told him.
I was trying hard to keep my eyes open but it get heavier by seconds. I distinctly heard the alarm go off.
“Please stay me with me” Matt held my hands tightly.
My family trooped in along with Cute stranger.
“Thanks for raising me up” I turned to my family “I love you guys a lot and Bianca?”
“Yes?” She sniffed.
“You’re the best.” I tried smiling
“Cute stranger?” I turned to him “you were right. I thank life for giving me the opportunity to meet two amazing people and fall in love.”
I addressed them in general now “please don’t cry on my grave, I’ll haunt you down” I took a deep breath and slept peacefully.
Cute stranger 🌺
“No she can’t die!” Matt cried “we didn’t spend much time together”
I couldn’t control my tears anylonger.
“Rest on my dear” I smiled painfully while her family mourned
