Chapter Twenty-Eight

My Heart Will Go On

Dear Diary,

I'm so sorry I have not written any entries in the past month or two…I forget how long it's been. I'm so tired now and I can feel my breath slowly leaving my body every time I take a deep breath. I have no energy, nor do I feel like I have any life.

My friends want to take me out to the park or somewhere for some fresh air, but I told them no. I just want to watch a movie in the comfort of friends. They know my time has come. They know. Jade's taking this the worst. I guess it's because everyone else has accepted it, except for her. She never wanted to believe I was dying, so she never was able to prepare herself for this moment.

She better prepare herself now…

I can tell…

I'm not going to make it through the night.

This is my last entry then, I guess. It's been a good ride with you, diary. Thank you for being there for me since the moment I found out I was dying. Beck will be taking you when I die, so he'll keep you safe. He promised.

Thank you again, old friend.

Sincerely, Caterina Valentine

Jade's POV

I can hardly breathe at the amount of pain my heart is feeling right now.

We're all at Cat's house…her parents left for a while with her brother so we can spend time with her. The way her father was so quiet…the way her mother was crying…the way her brother acted…it all just hit me in the face.

Cat may not even make it through the night.

She had gotten SO MUCH worse these past few months. After prome, we should've known that her health wouldn't get better after that scare. When she was released from the hospital, Cat didn't want to do much of anything. So the rest of that weekend, we stayed at her house and watched movies with her, kind of like we are currently. She went to school, but sometimes her mom would come pick her up halfway through because she was so exhausted and in pain. After a couple weeks…Cat didn't come to school at all. The teachers all agreed to let her slide and pass high school and gave her a degree after all. So she graduated early, in a way. She wanted to graduate high school and that was on her Bucket List too.

Her bucket list…

"You can't die, okay?" I tell her in a whisper, but she hears me. Everyone else in the room does too, but don't interrupt me. We're in her room and I'm laying with her on her bed, propped up against the bed frame. I had my arm wrapped around her back and she was leaning her head on my shoulder. "You still have too much on your list." I know that's a stupid reason, but it's important to her. To me. To everyone. "We spent hours making that list, remember? You put a lot of thought into that Bucket List and haven't stopped talking about finishing it since we made it."

"Jade." Cat whispers back. "It's too late to finish it."

I squeeze my eyes shut as tears threaten to fall from my eyes. "It's never too late."

"It's too late." She says in a firmer tone. "I can't do anymore."

"Why?"

"God's Will."

"Don't get all spiritual on me here when all God has done is curse us." I tell her in a vicious voice. I speak the truth.

Cat smiled a little. "He's given me a chance to live life. I've done so much I never thought I'd do. I can die now peacefully. I know everything will be okay down here. I promise though that I'll watch over you guys. I wish I could be there in person to see you guys reach stardom, but that won't be happening. I can't hug you or give you a "congratulations" like I would've. But I want to still see it. That's why I trust God and love Him. He's going to take me to heaven and then I'll have a perfect view of your guys' lives."

I notice the others are crying silently, still staring at the mute TV.

"Can you guys make me a promise?"

I lean my head onto hers. "Anything."

"Always stay friends."

I nod. "I promise."

Tori takes in a sharp breath, attempting to not sob. "Yes, I promise with all my heart."

Andre nods, rocking himself back and forth on the carpet floor. "Anything you want, Lil' Red."

Robbie is in tears underneath his glasses, but nods as well. "I promise too."

Beck doesn't say anything or do anything to answer her. I don't think he can without breaking into tears.

"Good." Cat takes in a deep breath and then exhales. "I'm not scared."

I tighten my hold on her. "You…you have nothing to be scared of. If you trust God that much…then…then I will too. He'll take care of you for me. I can go on, knowing He's watching out for you. He needs to, considering you're a handful." I poke her stomach playfully, making her weakly giggly. "He's going to love you and make you His favorite angel."

"Will He put me in the choir of angels?" Cat asked, just wanting to keep talking about her next life.

I nod. "Yes, yes, He will. He'll put you right in the front, give you the most solos, and you'll be the loudest, prettiest of them all."

"Do you think I'll have my red-velvet hair color back?" She asks me innocently, playing with my hair a little.

"Oh yeah." I smile. "You'll have your long, soft hair. He'll probably put a huge bow on your head…or maybe even on your halo."

"What kind of dress will I have?"

"A ballerina one." I automatically said, just to keep her talking and thinking. "White. Pure white. Sparkles."

"Ooh." She breathes out. "Sounds so pretty."

"And you'll have pure white wings that aren't too big for you, but aren't too small either." I add on, picturing everything that I'm saying in my head.

"I'll be the prettiest angel, huh?"

"You're already the prettiest angel." I give her head a soft kiss. It's scaring me on how I'm acting right now. I've never been so loving and gentle to ANYONE or ANYTHING as long as I've been alive. Why am I like this so suddenly? Probably because I'm best friend is dying and I'll never get her back, so I need to treat her the way she deserves. "You've always been my best friend, Cat. I never tell you this enough, but I love you. You're like a sister to me. Thank you for making me strong and giving me a reason to keep going to school every day, which was to make sure no one hurt you or bullied you, or to make sure you didn't get yourself in too much trouble."

"You were a good big sister." She tells me softly. "I'm going to miss you."

I let out a small sob. "I'll miss you too."

"Maybe if God will let me, I can visit you guys in your dreams?" Cat suggested in an airy tone. "We can play twister, eat red-velvet cupcakes, watch Beauty and the Beast, and have tea parties."

I smile. "Sounds good to me. I hope He lets you."

We notice the movie ended and it was back on Menu.

Cat smiles. "Let's watch it again."

"Are you sure?" I ask her. "It's the 2nd time in a row."

"I know. This is my favorite movie." She looks up at me. "This is how I want to leave you guys. At sunset, in my room, in my bed, snuggled up to you and Mr. Longneck, with everyone else here, watching The Little Mermaid, in my favorite satin nightgown, and knowing that you guys will be friends forever."

I cradle her closer to me, if even possible, as Beck shakily stood up from his spot and pressed "Play" on the DVD player. Instead of sitting down, he walks over to us. I scoot over, as does Cat, and Beck lays on the other side of her. I'm surprised when the three of us actually fit on here together. Cat's not crushed between us, but she's safely and comfortable in our arms. Beck kisses her lips before just laying her head on his shoulder and he leans onto hers. I lean my head on her shoulder and take her hand into mine, giving it a comforting squeeze.

"I love you, little sis."

"I love you too, big sis."

And even after that long talk of preparing myself for what would come that night…

It still shocked me when an hour and 2 minutes later after we started the movie again did Beck panic because Cat wasn't breathing.

I did sob and scream, but deep down, I accepted it.

I knew it was coming, after all.

I just didn't prepare myself.

I love you, baby sis.


Ohhhh, okay. I'm teary eyed. One chapter left. It's the aftermath and no one's POV. A big shocker is going to come. Hint, Hint: there's more than ONE character death in this story…is everyone ready for this?
