James' POV

I held onto Jamie and didn't let go. We didn't want Aileen to die. I pulled my girlfriend away from me and leaned in and kissed her. Her lips felt amazing and took my mind off what was going on. We broke apart and Jamie leaned into my chest. I knew what we had to do.

"We need to say our final goodbyes." I said crying.

"Ok. This is definitely not going to be easy." Jamie said. We walked over to our best friend and Jamie shook her lightly. She opened her eyes and smiled.

Aileen's POV

"Hey guys. How are you?" I asked my best friends. Jamie burst into tears and buried her head into James' chest. What was going on? Something was bothering her.

"She's really emotional right now." James said to me.

"Jamie are you going to be ok?" I asked concerned for my best friend.

"She'll be fine. Eventually." James told me. I was so confused. What the fuck is going on? Something was happening. I felt so weak.

"What's going on? Is there something I should know?" I asked.

"Aileen. This isn't easy to say. You…" James said and paused.

"I what? Come on! I need to know what the hell is going on! Please." I couldn't take it anymore. I was begging.

"You only have an hour to live." I saw tears escape from James' eyes. He was still holding on to his girlfriend. No wonder Jamie burst out crying when I asked her how she was doing. I didn't want to die. But I felt so weak and I could actually feel it was coming.

Jamie's POV

I kept my head buried into my boyfriend's chest. I couldn't take it. Another one of my best friends was dying and there wasn't anything we could do about it. It felt nice to have James comforting me though. He smelled so good. I wished I could stay here forever. But I had to face the world. I lifted my head and walked over to Aileen. I hugged her.

"James can we have a few minutes alone? I need to talk to Aileen for a minute." I said.

"Anything for you two." James said and left the room.

"What do you need to talk to me about?" Aileen asked me.

"I just want you to listen. This is really important to me and I have to let it out. I don't want you to leave this world without hearing what I have to say." I told my best friend.

"Of course I'll listen to what you have to say Jamie." Aileen said. I took a breath.

"When I met you I didn't like you. The reason was pretty obvious. You were dating James and I had always dreamed of being with him. You threatened me to stay away and when I didn't you hurt me. But that's not the thing. I saved you from your dad once. At that moment I realized how hard your life was and why you acted the way you did. You changed for the better after I talked to you. I started to understand you. I forgave you for what you did to me. We became friends. You broke up with James so I could be with him. You could see that we belonged together. And then your dad killed Ali and Alyssa. Those two were my best friends. You were there for me when I found out they died. You stayed with me when I passed out. We may have only been friends for a couple of days but I feel like we've been friends for a lifetime. We're not just friends. We're sisters. I can't believe this is happening Aileen. You mean the world to me. You will always be in my heart. I love you Chickadee. I'm going to miss you so much. I will never forget you. You will be in my thoughts each and every day. I promise." I poured my heart and soul into my words. By the time I finished what I had to say I was crying. Aileen was crying too.

"That was the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me. I've never really had friends before you. No one would talk to me. I wasn't loved. I'm going to miss you too Jamie. You were the best friend I could ever have. I will always be by your side even though you won't be able to see me. I'll be watching over you forever. I love you too." Aileen said and hugged me. I hugged her back and we cried together. I didn't want her to leave this earth. James walked back into the room with Fai. We all talked about the good things that have happened in the past few days. We laughed and were having a really good time. Then Aileen's breathing slowed and we knew it was almost her time to go.

Fai's POV

I saw Aileen struggling for breath. It hurt me to see her like that. I was going to miss her so much. She was a great friend. I looked over at Jamie and James and saw tears running down their faces. I realized that I was crying as well.

"You guys stick together. You need everyone around you. Your friends and family are the most important things to you. Jamie, you and James are the perfect couple. Don't leave each other. That goes for you and Carlos too, Fai. I love you guys so much. I'll be watching over you." Those were Aileen's final words. She let out a sigh and her eyes closed forever. We all broke down and hugged each other. Our best friend was gone and it was the worst feeling of our entire lives.
