I Love You More Than I Can Ever Scream

Andy walked out of Danielle's room, his eyes red and puffy. When he saw me his face immediately lit up. He pulled me into a hug, and squeezed me so tight I could barely breathe. I sighed, and relaxed into his touch.

"I love you, you know that right?" He whispered in my ear, and I looked up at him.

Where was this coming from?

"Yes." I said.

"Okay, good." He smiled, "She wants to see you." I exhaled shakily, and nodded. I ran a hand through my hair, and walked into the room. Danielle looked so sick, and I just wanted to reach out and take her pain away.

"Hey Jay." She said giggling softly. She must be on pain medication.... "Your boyfriend, and I just had the best conversation."

I made a confused look, and sat next to her, "About what?"

"I can't tell you, it's a surprise, and a good one." I nodded, and she took my hands.

"Okay." I smiled.

"Jasey, can you promise me something?" She asked.

"I'll try." I answered.

"Please don't miss me too much. It's bad enough, I have to worry about Colin, I don't want to worry about you too." She said.

"Oh Dani, that's impossible." I said.

"No I'm serious, stop it. When I die, please keep going on like I'm still here. Please please please Jasey. I'm not going to tell you what, but Andy is going to ask you something soon, and you have to promise me you'll say yes." She said.

"I'm going to go against my better judgement, and say okay." I chuckled.

"Good, you know I love you right?" She said.

"Why is everyone saying that!? Andy just said that, what did you guys talk about!?" I said.

"You'll see, just know that I love you because..I'm going to let go soon. I feel it. I can't stay here anymore, I'm not meant too." She said, a pale streak of moonlight coming from the window was falling across her cheek.

"Dani..."

"Seriously Jasey, I'm in pain. I'm ready." She said smiling lightly.

I felt the tears flow out of my eyes like rushing rivers, " Dani please no!" I sobbed.

"Jasey, I've learned to accept it, you can too." I pulled her into a hug, and I felt her tears on my skin.

"No I can't!" I said sobbing.

"Yes you can. Will you please get everyone else?" She said, "It's time."

"No! It's not time, stop Danielle." I gasped.

"Please get them." She said simply. I let go of her, and ran out of the room. My parents looked up at me, as did Colin, but Andy was no where to be seen.

"It's happening." I said, and they all scrambled from their spots on the floor. They were already crying, as we all walked into the room.

"Hey guys." Danielle croaked out. I wanted Andy right now. I wanted him to hold me, and to feel his touch.

"Hey sweetheart." My mom said. Everyone was sitting at the side of her bed now.

"Guys I'm ready." She said, "I really am, please let me go." She said taking Colin's hand.

"Baby." He whimpered.

"Colin, you'll find somebody else." She said opening her arms for him to come into. He did so, and buried his face in her neck.

"No I won't." He said, "I don't want too."

She nodded, "Mom, dad I love you guys. Thank you for always being there. You have given me such a truly great life. And Jasey, remember how much your loved not just by me, but by mom, dad, and most importantly Andy. Colin you were my first real true love, you've given me so much in the little time we had, and I wish it didn't have to end. I love you all so much. Thank you for letting me go..." Her words faded away, the same as the beeping of the heart monitor. The single shrill note was all that was playing in our ears.

Danielle was dead.
