I wake up to the smell of bacon, thinking… finally it’s Friday. It was the day of Nathan’s match, so I planned to spend the morning with Nathan and then go over to Carolyne’s to get ready for the match, she insisted that we get ready at her apartment.

Throwing the covers off I quickly washed up and skipped down the stairs. Walking into the kitchen Nathan is standing in front of the stove.

“Take a seat, the food is almost done…” I walked over to the table taking my seat.

“I thought you left early this morning?”

He turned around looking confused at me. “Why would I leave home without you?”

“Oh, is that so?... You do actually know this is not your home?”

He ignored me, turned around, and continued with the food.

“Do you know when Joe will be back? I tried phoning him, but his phone is off…” I asked concerned.

    “O yeah, Carolyne asked if I could get ready at her place, I hope you don’t mind. Will you be able to come pick us up there or should we take her car to the match?”“I will come to pick you up.”“Okay, thank you.”“Carolyne… don’t you think this skirt is too short?” I looked at myself in the mirror. If I may say so myself, I look hot. I’m dressed in a tight leather mini shirt, short sleeve V- neck button up white satin blouse, that’s tucked into the skirt, match with short black stiletto boots. My hair was styled into a messy bun.“Nope you look gorgeous, Nathan is going to drool all over you tonight… that man is head over heels for you!” She slapped her hand over her mouth looking at me with big eyes.I looked curiously at her. “Oh… so you knew Nathan liked me that much?”She looked shocked at me. “Well to be fair I did try to tell you, but how do you know? Did he tell you? Wait… don’t tell me you two…” She looked at me with excitement.I nodded my head while smiling at her.“AAHHHHH

    Carolyne storms into the room. “Wow, what a fight Nathan… congratulations!!” She sings the congratulations out.She frowns at our serious faces “What’s with the faces?” She asks pointing at us.James raises his eyebrow, looking at her sternly. “Carolyne, are you even human? Did your parent never teach you to knock?” He looks up at the ceiling deep in thought, then looks back at her again “Thinking about it now… did they even teach you anything?” He looks satisfied with himself while smirking at her.“YOU!!!” Carolyne screams, walking toward him while pointing her finger at him.James tilts his head while he is still smiling and holds one finger up at her… “OH… wait now I’m not finished. MY PARENTS always told me to answer a question… SO… If you have chosen to sit with us, you would have known why our FACES look like this.” He points between Nathan, him, and me. “But… NO…like always you took the cowardly way out and ran away… like ALWAYS!” “JAMES!!!” Carolyne screams “I did NOT run…”

    The next week went by fast, and before I knew it, it was my first day as a medical intern.I woke up to a knock on my door.“Come in,” I called out.“Good morning beautiful, I made you some breakfast.” Nathan walks in with a plate of fried eggs, bacon, and toast with a glass of orange juice.“WOW, Thank you. This is really sweet of you.”He places the tray on my lap, taking a seat at my feet. “I thought I should treat you on your first day. How are feeling, are you nervous?”“No, Dr. Martin already prepared me on what to expect for the first day.”I shift to the side of the bed, making room for him, tapping the open space next to me. “Come climb in next to me please, hold me for a little while.” He stands, walks over to me then climbs in next to me, wrapping his arms around my shoulders. I made myself comfortable in his arms. “I love it when you hold me like this…you know… I will be very busy from now on.” He kisses the top of my head. “Yeah I know, that is why I have been thinking

    “Watch out for his head and move him slowly.”We carefully carried him out of the car and placed him on the ground on his back.Nathan quickly went back into the car searching for the guy’s cellphone and wallet, to get some kind of identification.I kneeled next to the guy.“Sir, Sir can you hear me?” I tap him on the shoulder, seeing if I could get any response. Seeing no response, I carefully lift his jaw with both of my hands, to help clear his airway, placing two fingers at his pulse making sure of any changes, but found his pulse is still very weak. Leaning forward listening to his breathing, but I could not hear him breathing. I look down inspecting his body.

We existed moment to moment, never knowing who would be the next to leave this world.”“Will this be my moment? Will this be my time to leave this world? Will this be how my story ends? Will this be the last time I will hear Nathan’s voice?” Amore thought to herself as she looked down at the phone and ended the call with Nathan.
