What If?

Part One
The Loss Of Those We Love

Chapter One

Jessica Harris lay in her bed. She didn't have the energy to move. It was 3 o'clock in the after noon, but she still hadn't eaten. She didn't have the energy to eat. She didn't have the energy to do anything. Why was she feeling this way? She felt worse by the day. Mabey she should go to the doctor. No, she couldn't. She wouldn't. She was too scared of what the doctor would tell her. Mabey it wasn't what she thought. but she was too scared that it would be. She had watched Kelly go through all the same simptoms. Tiredness, nousia, weakness. She had watched her life slip away. They couldn't save Kelly, so how would they be able to save her? Kelly was her best friend. She lost her all those years ago, yet she could still picture her face. Kelly was supposed to moving to Hollyoaks with her. They were going to start a brand new chapter, but then... A tear slowly trickled down Jess' cheek. What if the same thing happened to her? She wasn't strong enough to survive that. Kelly was, she fought to the bitter end. She always said the same thing. It made her lagh even thinking about it. "Regret nothing, deny everything." She wished she could do that. Kelly never looked back. But Jess was diffrent. She always looked back. It came as a great suprise that they became best friends. They were choc and cheese. The one thing they had in common was the fact that they both came top of the class. At everything. Well, except from PE. They both were rubbish at that. They were the smartest kids in school. All the teachers said that they would go very far. Little did they know. Jess couldn't go to the doctors. She couldn't be told the same thing as Kelly. She wouldn't cope. Mabey if she just lay there, it would go away. Mabey, she would wake up tommorow and everything would be back to how it should have been. Her and Kelly. Against the world. But deep down, she knew that wouldn't happen. Kelly was gone. And mabey in couple of months, Jess would be too.
