'Till Time Runs Out

Chapter 29: You Can Let Go

Triple Update. Love ya, enjoy!

-Darcy's POV-

I woke up, and as the doctor told me exactly what was going to happen to me, I could suddenly see the end, and it was flying at me like an oncoming train, and I was scared. I was so scared. Family and friends were constantly coming in, saying their goodbyes, and with each one I could feel it getting harder and harder. My lungs were in so much pain, just breathing hurt, being alive hurt, but I would rather be alive and in this much pain then be dead, and just gone. I was taken off the pain killers because I wanted to be 100% me when saying my goodbyes to people. I didn't need to be as high as a kite. No matter what pain I could take it. Or so I thought. They say to make peace with the thought of death realize that it is inevitable, though I am 16 years old. I haven't lived my life, there is no possible way to make peace with what is to come.

There was a knock on my door and Liz slides through it tears rolling down her face. I knew this would be one of the hardest goodbyes.

"What am I suppose to do Darcy. I don't know how to deal with this, I don't know how to deal with losing you. I lost Isaac and my whole world fell apart. I was dating him for a few months and I fell in love with him, and I felt like I had lost half of me, but you helped me, you built my heart back up. But i've known you since I was a freaking little girl. We have been best friends forever and losing you, I have no one to build my heart again. My world will fall apart and this time i'll be eternally broken. I don't know how to live with myself without you Darcy. It is not possible. What am I suppose to do??" she cries and tears are streaming down my face.

"You live! You live your life, you get flipping married, you have freaking kids, and a ton of them, you live an amazing, full life and you do not take a second of it for granted. You love like you've never loved before, you laugh like everything is funny, you dance like no body is watching, and you cry like you've got nothing. You feel every single thing and you live. You remember me, and you remember what you've learned. You look in the mirror everyday, and tell yourself you're strong and then imagine i'm there beside you telling you your strong because I am there. I'm always going to be right beside you. Attached at the freaking hip and you need to talk, great, I will be beside you and people will think you are crazy, but I will be beside you no matter what happens to me, you won't see me but I promise I am there. Just live your life" I say crying my eyes out, she takes me into her arms and we cry like that for a while and when she leaves the room, I know that, that is the last time I will see her. The rest of my extended friends and family had came in to say goodbye, and the end was getting closer and closer, and it was then I realized, that I had been through everyone. It was now just my families turn, and then... Matthew.

The three of them walk in together and a sob falls from my mouth. How do you do this. How how how.

"Hi princess.." dad says and tears begin to fall from his eyes.

"Hi daddy" I cry.

"I don't know how I am suppose to say this. I don't know how to say goodbye to my baby girl. Ever since that day darcy, that day when you were just 3 years old sat on the ice cream counter at your favourite shop, I knew you had my heart. I looked into your beautiful green eyes, and you had me. You were my baby girl and there was no changing that. I promised to protect you from anything, and the one thing I can't do, is what takes you from me. I wish with everything in my body that I could save you, that you wouldn't have to go, because without you there is no coming back, after all this life you've lived, you should still have so much more, you still deserve so much more and now. Now you are being taken from me, and I have no clue what I am going to do" he sobs, and takes me in his arms and just holds me while I cry into his chest.
