Save Me
I felt the warm sand gently cuddle my feet with each step I took across it. Here I was, at a beach, staring out at the sunset which had dyed the sky a mellow orange. The calming sound of the waves gently over lapping each other graced my ears. My breath suddenly hitched and I felt my lungs painfully contract. Coughing, I tried to try and clear my air ways. Quickly as it had come, the attack disappeared. Gasping, I gulped in as much air as I could. These attacks were getting worse. I had secretly sneaked out of the house earlier during the day to go and visit my doctor…
Only bad news awaited me. “
Tonight” he had said. I felt a tear fall as I crashed onto my knees. Clenching my fists, I punched the sand with all my force. I could feel my knuckles stinging from the impact.
“…why?” I asked out loud. “
WHY?!”
I punched the ground again.
“It’s only been a month…” I noted in disbelief.
It had only been one month since I was diagnosed with this illness. The doctors… they didn’t know what I had. They tried everything, but I just kept getting worse. No matter what medication they gave me, the disease was too strong.
“Everyone…”
Thoughts of everyone I had met in my life flashed through my mind. Sayu, Ai-chan, Yaguttsuan, Abe-san, Reina, Gaki-san, Fujimoto-san, Koharu, JunJun, Mittsui-
Gaki-san.I bit my lip. The one person who was there for me when things got rough. The one person who made me laugh when I was sad. The one person who showed me the world. The one person I loved more than anything. The one person I fell madly in love with. The one person I couldn’t confess to.
Hand shaking, I slipped it into a small pocket that was attached to my white dress. Finding a small piece of paper and pencil I began to write. I tried my hardest to write as neatly as I could with my tears blurring my vision. Why did I have to fall in love? She was making this too hard for me. I looked up at the horizon as I folded up the note. The sun had nearly fully sunken behind the sea.
“
It’s time…” I mumbled to myself.
Then, right on que, I could feel myself fading away from the world. Everything began to spin as it lost its colour. The only things that had colour now were my memories.
“Arigatou, minna…”
I was scared.
So scared. I didn’t want to die! Why did I have to have this stupid disease?! What did I do?! I felt myself stumble a few steps towards the ocean.
‘
I’m scared, Gaki-san… Save me.’
I looked down at the water which ran over my feet. I heard rushing footsteps.
“
KAME!”
I turned around. I felt my vision clear for a moment. I instantly knew who it was. I smiled. I could die happy now.
“Gaki-san!” I yelled with what little power I had left.
Suddenly my legs collapsed and I fell into the water. I never let go of the note in my hand.
“KAME!”
A few seconds later I felt her arms around me; cradling me.
“Kame! Oi, Kame! Say something! What’s wrong?!” she exclaimed from a distance of less than 30cm. Sure was like her. I weakly opened my eyes.
“G-Gaki-san…” I croaked out.
“What’s wrong, Kame?! I’m calling an ambulance!” she screamed her eyes brimming with tears. She held her phone to her ear. I slowly raised up my hand.
“
D-Don’t, n-not enough time…F-For you…”
She dropped her phone in the sand and took the note from my hand, quickly opening it.
“
G-Gaki-san, gomen ne… for never telling you that I’m ill.
There’s no way that I could have; I didn’t w-want you to worry… But most of all, I didn’t want you to lose your smile.
So that’s why please… forgive me,” she read out through her burning tears in a voice that screamed with disbelief.
“Kame,
what is this?!” she demanded. I didn’t reply.
“
KAME!”
I could only smile at her.
“K-Kame… Kame, Kame, Kame…”
Her tears fell and rolled down my face.
“You can’t go… I love you…you can’t…” she begged, “
please…”
“I-I love you to…”
I felt my eyes loll shut. Everything began to fade away… even Gaki-san’s voice.
“
Kame, don’t go! I need you! …onegai…”
Everything went white and deathly quiet. The last thing I remember was the soft touch and sweet taste of her lips.
