The apartment seemed very
empty when I got back home.As I went in the phone was ringing,I
answered,and it was my friend Mary.I had'nt spoken to her since te day
Mark arrived.
She was a little annoyed that I had not called in the last week.I told
her I had been busy,If she came over I woud explain everything.She said
okay,"But this better be good!"
I knew it would take her at
least 30 minutes to get here,so I quickly changed into a nightie,put
Mark's t-shirt on over that and got comfortable on the couch.As I
rested
my head on the pillow,I could still smell his scent.I could'nt help
wondering how he was doing,If he had been well enough to fly,tears
formed in my eyes as I remembered everything that happened.I could
still
feel the last kiss we shared.How easy it would be to love him,his
gentle,easy-going ways,the shyness he tries so hard to hide,the words
that he said silently as he got on the plane,did he remember me still?
A tear ran down my cheek,I closed my eyes,and drifted of to sleep.
Just moments later there was a knock on
the door.I got up to answer it,It was Mary.As she came in she was going
on about how everyone was worried,they had'nt heard from me,I was'nt
answering the phone,"What has been going on!",she demanded to know.I
told her to have a seat and I would explain.
As I told
her what had been happening,
she sat and listened intently,I was'nt sure if she was believing
me.When I finished telling her about Mark,She said"You mean Mark,as in
The Undertaker Mark?". I nodded my head,which was starting to ache,I
was
hoping she would'nt ask alot of questions.But when she took a good look
at me she knew I was'nt well.
"You got the flu from him didn't you?".
I nodded my head,and closed my eyes,mostly to stop the tears. I could
feel Mary's eyes on me,I tried to keep from crying,knowing it would
make
the headache worse,but I could'nt hold back anymoreI put my hands over
my face.Mary came over and put her arms around me, "You should be on
that plane with him!",she said. All I could do was shake my head and
say"Its happening to fast".
We must have been there talking for hours. Because just then the phone
rang.
I asked Mary to answer it,I didn't want to talk to anyone yet. Mary
answered and said "Hello?",,,,"This is Sharon's friend Mary,who
is this?"
Mary's eyes got as wide as saucers,her jaw almost hit the floor,the
look
on her face was priceless,I knew it could only be one person.
