“Debs please hang in there, don’t let go” she could barely hear her own voice
“You can’t leave me alone, you can’t leave your family, you can’t leave Daniel. Please, stay awake” she saw her friend smiling; an apologetic smile, with sad eyes.
“Please don’t go. How…how do you expect me to go on without you? You’re my only friend. You didn’t even meet my parents yet. We didn’t even graduate; what’s going to happen to our dreams and plans?” the look on her friend’s face told her she was fighting a lost battle as Debra closed her eyes, and slowly but eventually breathed her last. At that moment, Sarah knew her worst fear just became a reality as she struggled and hoped for a miracle tugging at her friend’s arm; still arm.
“Debs! Debs! Debs! Wake up girl! Open your eyes. Stick out your tongue and tell me you’re just playing a prank on me” she could feel the tears rushing down her face, begging for a miracle.
“God where are you? This wasn’t part of the plan” He was supposed to always be with her. Why was this happening? “Please let her live lord. Do something please” she tugged at her friend’s arm once more, this time with less energy
