"I don't want to go Charles… please don't make me leave her… please."

I didn't want to leave my friends bed or as every one else said, her deathbed. She had leukemia and was not going to make it and this last week had been terrible for her. I was the first friend that she told after she found out but that really isn't saying much seeing as me and her are the only friends each other have besides my older brother Charles and her younger sister Emily.

I had been sitting here with her for the past week and then today before my brother and I got here she slipped into a coma and now the doctors were going to take her off the respirator and let her go. It hurt so much to see her lying there. Yesterday was really good for her. She didn't get tired that fast so we talk for about five hours about school and just other stuff until tears started leaking out of her eyes and I knew that she knew that this was the last time we were ever going to do this. I tried to make her not talk about it but she didn't listen to me but then told me to take the necklace off her neck and put it on. I wouldn't do it so she called the nurse over to take it off and put it in her hand.

"Morgan, please take it. I want you to have it. I know that I am not going to be around much longer and I really need you to have this. So I know that you have something to remember me by and so that it doesn't go to Emily. She would never wear it. She would be to scared to wear it and maybe break it."

The necklace was a big silver gothic cross that was on a silver chain. She got it for her grandma after she died and she would always let me try it on but now she was giving to me forever.

"No… Bethany I cant…"

"Take it for me… as a Christmas present a few months early."

I looked at her and thought it is over half a year until Christmas.

Slowly I placed it in my pocket cause I didn't want to wear it then.

I placed my hand in my pocket now and felt the cool metal under my fingers and I had to walk out the door as the doctors and the family walked in. We made our way to Charles car and the drove to the waterfalls that we had always gone to before. As soon as we sat down at the base of ours (Bethany, Charles and me) I broke down and started crying. When Charles tried to grab me into a hug I pulled away and glared at him.

"Oh no you don't. Morgan you can't push me away. I know all of the tricks and I wont let you close your heart up to me. She would not have wanted that and neither would mom and dad and I don't want you to. Not again. It isn't healthy for you to do. So please..."

I then moved into his arms and as my older brother held me I slowly drifted away into my dream world that held so much comfort for me but was so dangerous at the same time.
