| Mom: Wake up honey. Michael's downstairs waiting for you.
Sarah: Oh my gosh. I woke up too late! I still need a shower and everything!
Right when she said that Michael walked into her room smiling from ear to ear.
Michael: No baby. You're beautiful just like that- now come on, I'm starving.
Sarah: Okay.
Sarah got out of bed, put on some clothes, took his hand, and walked out the door to his car and got in.
Sarah: Where are we going? Remember that I have to be home by 1. I have cheerleading practice and you have football.
Michael: I know..
Then Sarah noticed that Michael was really pale-looking.
Sarah: Michael are you feeling okay? You look like you're sick..
Michael: Yeah; it's just my allergies.
Sarah: Are you sure? Did you go to the doctor yet?
Michael: Yeah.. I went yesterday. They just said to take some allergy pills and that I'll be okay.
Sarah turned to look away from Michael.
She knew there was something wrong.
She has allergies and she doesn't look like that.
Then he reached out and held her hand.
Sarah: Michael your hands are so cold. I dont think you're okay tell me what's really wrong.. do we need to go back to the house?
Michael: I promise you baby; everything is okay.. they told me to go back tomorrow but I'm not going because there's nothing wrong with me.
Sarah: Michael you need to go! If they told you to then there is something wrong!
Michael let go of her hand and turned back to the road and didn't talk to her the rest of the way.
Sarah just looked at him.
They finally pullled up to the resturaunt and ate breakfast.
Michael: Did you bring your cheerleading stuff or do we have to go back to your house to get it?
Sarah: I have it.. do you really think you should go to football practice like that ?
Michael: Yes Sarah. I'm fine.
Sarah: If you say so..
Michael: Sarah, baby, would I lie to you?
Sarah: No...
They got back in the car and went to the field.
They got out and started practice.
Sarah was practicing a new cheer, but then out of no where she heard a boy yell,
"HE'S NOT MOVING SOMEONE CALL 911! HELP COACH!"
Right when she heard that she turned around and saw Michael on the ground just laying there, not moving.
She ran to him but her dad pushed her back.
Dad: No honey. You shouldn't be right here.
Sarah started to cry.
Sarah: Daddy. What happened? Is he okay?
Dad: Honey. Please just go back with your coach.
Sarah walked back and sat on the bench with her head in her hands while an ambulance came and took him away.
She got in the car with her dad and they went to the hospital.
When they got there his mom was already there and talking to the doctor.
They walked over and listened...
Doctor: You may want to sit down for this.
Michaels Mom: Is he okay?
Doctor: Ma'am.. your son has lukiemia. We can put him on treatments, but he might not make it because the cancer has already spread too much.
Sarah was shocked and began to cry on here dads shoulder.
Michaels Mom: Treatments?
Doctor: Well the treatments would cause hair loss... but it will help slow the cancer down.
Michaels Mom: But he's certain to die?
Doctor: Yes.. but we have had this surgery to clear out the clogs.. but it's possible that he will not make it.
Michaels Mom: I will have to talk to him about this. Can we see him now?
Doctor: Yes. One at a time though.
Michaels mom looked over at Sarah and hugged her tight she knew that Sarah loved him with all her heart.
Michaels Mom: You go first sweetheart.
Sarah: Are you sure?
Michael's Mom: Yes honey.
Sarah walked slowly to his room and turned the knob.
She just stood there, looking at him lying there weak.
He was so pale and he had tubes surrounding him.
It was painful for her to look at him.
Michael looked at her and weakly smiled at her.
She went over and kneeled down beside him.
Michael: Did they already tell you?
Sarah: Yes...
Michael: I'm sorry Sarah. I didn't want you to find out like this.
Sarah: It's okay; I understand Michael.
Michael: Baby I love you so much.
Michael reached up and slowly ran his fingers through her hair.
Sarah: I love you too Michael. With all my heart.. and I will be here for you 'till the end.
Michael: Im going to be okay Sarah.
The nurse walked in with Michaels mom.
Nurse: Its her turn now.
Michael looked at Sarah.
Michael: Bye baby.
Sarah: Bye.
Sarah kneeled down and softly kissed his cold lips.
Months went by and Michael lost his hair, but they were still deeply in love and Sarah was by him everyday.
Michael was getting worse to where he couldn't even play football, and the championship game was coming up.
Michael was sitting on Sarah's porch with her and her dad.
Michael: Coach.. I wanna play tomorrow.
Dad: Michael I know you do.. but I can't let you do that.. you'll get hurt.
Michael: No, coach. Please. This might be the last time on the field for me. I want to be able to play one more time.
Dad looked at Michael and then at Sarah.
Sarah nodded her head.
Dad: You're a strong boy, Michael, and very brave. I think we can do this.
Michael: Thank you so much coach.
Sarahs dad nodded his head.
Dad: So what are you two doing tonight?
Michael: I wanna show Sarah something if that's okay.
Dad: Of course; you two be careful.
Michael took Sarah's hand and lead her to his car.
It was completely dark outside when they pulled up to the football field.
Sarah: What are we doing here?
Michael: Follow me.
Michael grabbed a blanket and laid it down onto the field.
They both laid there looking at the stars.
Sarah: This is so beautiful.
Michael: I do this often. I wanted to show you the place I love.
Sarah: Do you remember the flowers you gave me on our very first date?
Michael: Sure I do; I gave you lillies; your favorite.
Sarah: Yeah... I'll never forget that day.
Michael: I want you to always remember something Sarah.
Sarah: What is it?
Michael: I will always be with you.. and I will always love you.. you're my one and only..
Sarah started tearing.
Sarah: I love you so much, Michael.
Michael: And I also want you to be happy.. I want you to marry someone, have kids, make a family, just live a happy life for me.
Sarah: No. I will never marry anyone.. im marrying you Michael
Michael: Just don't forget what I told you.
Michael leaned in and kissed her.
She pushed him off and jumped up
Sarah: You still think you can catch me?
Michael: Oh yeah. I'm stronger than I look.
Sarah: Then come get me.
Michael stood up and chaised her around the football feild until he finally caught her.
He laid on top of her and put her hands behind her back and held her there so she couldn't move.
Then it started to rain and they were getting soaked but they didn't care.
Michael looked deep into her eyes.
Michael: Who's the weak one now huh?
Sarah: Me (she giggled)
Michael: Remember what you told me that night when we were at dinner?
Sarah: No.. what?
Michael: You have always wanted to kiss in the rain with the one you love.
Sarah: Yeah?
Michael: Well............
Michael leaned down and kissed her deeply.
He pulled away.
Michael: You're so beautiful.
Sarah: You're such a good kisser. (she laughed.. so did he)
Michael: I better get you home.
They got into the car and went home.
It was hard for them to sleep that night but they did.
It was finally the big day and they were all at the football field.
Michael had on all his football gear, and Sarah was ready to cheer him on.
The game began.
The crowd was going wild for Michael while Sarah was cheering her heart out for him.
The score was 36 to 36.
All they had to do was make one more point and they would win.
Michael had the ball and ran with all he had to the touchdown line and threw the ball down.
He had made a touch down!
Everyone was cheering.
They had won the game!
But for Michael.. he may have lost his life.
He fell to the ground trying to catch his breath.
Sarah ran to him and kneeled down over him.
He looked up at her gasping for breath.
Everyone was heading to field.
Her dad stood infront of them.
Dad: Back away.. give them a moment please.. that's my daughter's love.
Michael gently raised his hand and whiped her tears away.
Sarah: Don't die Michael.. I need you.. I love you..
Michael: I told you this was my dream to win the championship.. to be in the big game.. to die on this feild.. I made history.
Sarah leaned down and kissed him, knowing this was the last she would ever kiss him, the last time she would ever talk to him.
She had so much to say but had no time to say it.
Michael: I love you baby. Tell Mom I love her too.. and tell coach thank you.
Sarah: I love you Michael. I love you so much.
Michael: I'll wait for you.....
Michael's hand dropped and he let go.
He died that night on the football feild.
Sarah cried for 2 months straight.
Sarah was lying on her bed when her dad walked in.
Dad: Honey, it's been 2 months. Please get up. He would want you to have fun and be happy.
Sarah: I know..
Dad: Guess what.
Sarah: What?
Dad: They are building a new stadium. Isn't that great honey? Come on, I want you to come with me before they tear the old one down.
Sarah got up and went with her dad to the field.
They climbed to the top of the bleachers and looked down.
Sarah: It's like it was just yesterday. He was out there throwing the football, making that touchdown.
Her dad wrapped his arms around her and she began to cry.
Dad: I know baby., I know.
Then Sarah noticed something on the feild.
Sarah: Whats that daddy? Look. (Sarah pointed to the field)
Dad: Look like some flowers are blooming.
Sarah: Oh my gosh, daddy! Stop them! Don't let them tear this down! Please! Michael planted me something.
Her dad ran down there and stopped them.
Weeks later the flowers had bloomed.
Her and her dad went to look at them.
They were lillies that left a message saying, "I Love You". | | |
| "He placed his hand In mine,
&& I`m telling you;
In that moment In time,
I knew he was the boy I wanted to be
with for the rest of my life
& i knew everything will be okay." 
Because you're the kind of guy
who would laugh at me when I fall,
help me up, and then whisper,
"It's okay because I love you."
"I'm sure that right now there's nowhere
else I'd rather be than here with you."
"She just wants you to know
She loves the way you laugh
Your stupid dumb smile
That has her falling head over heels."
"I've got a mind boggling,
sense numbing,
heart pounding,
stomach flipping,
take my breath away,
head over heels,
knee shaking,
day dreaming,
butterfly fluttering
crush on you."
"i couldn`t stop smiling if i tried.
he kinda has that affect on me =]"
"kiss her..
because sometimes words
they just arent enough." | | |
