Marco Pov
When I woke up the next day I didn't even go to school I went straight to the hospital to see star. As i get there there were nurses and doctors rushing in and out of her room. I froze a bit watching everything go down.

I saw them putting oxygen mask on her and telling her to keep her eyes open. I wanted to help but I couldn't as her head turns towards the door she looks at me with eyes full of pain. I wanted to go hug her and kiss her but I was pushed away and they closed the door.

I sat on the cold floor waiting for her door to open but it never did and I was getting worried by the minute. As i was about to leave a small figure stood in front of me "Hello Marco, wanna take a walk?" It was Eliza "Sure" she held my hand as we walked towards the garden.

She was humming and moving her head to the side "She's going to be fine..her blood pressure was low..she'll be fine it happens" I sigh "Alright.." she looks at me "You really love her?" I blushed and nodded "I really do..but she doesn't want me to" she sighs "She loves you so much but she won't say it"

Eliza said standing on the fountain edge "I know she does..but she doesn't want to get attached but we are..we did things yesterday that made us closer and I'm sure she's way in her head to even admit she loves me"

I started to cry softly in my hands as Eliza leaned on my shoulder "It's okay Marco.." I didn't know if I was going to be okay or she was? I don't want to lose her? I want to be with her the rest of my life..growing up together and having all the adventures she wished she had. "I'm not sure anymore"

We spent almost an hour outside waiting for any news until I saw Stars mom. "Hello Marco, May I speak with you?" I nodded and felt my heart racing "Yeah" I said softly. She sat beside me and held my hand "Star needs to do the surgery in a few days..I want you to be here when it happens. Can you promise me you'll be here?"

I nodded quickly "Yes of course I'll be here..I already promised her that yesterday..I'm not going anywhere" she smiles and wipes away tears from her eyes "Thank you..for making her last few weeks wonderful" I sigh hearing her say it but it was true she might not pull out okay and I tried making her feel the best she could.

"May I see her?" Her mother nodded and we entered her room to see her sitting her bed with the mask on. "Marco!" She held arms open and I ran into her embrace. I held on her tight and I could feel her shaking and starting to cry "I was scared"

she manages to say "Me too" after calming her and taking a deep breath she started talking about the surgery and how she will try her best to pull through. I was starting to lose hope but I still had enough for her to get better.

We talked about last night and how she liked every bit of it. I kept blushing thinking about it, she was red and smiling at how much fun she had and was pleased with someone she could trust. After our laughter died down our friends showed up "Hey guys! It's been forever?"

Star said as Jackie and Oskar hugged her as I looked at Jackie she pulled me out in the hallway "Janna will be here later..she's with Tom" so her boyfriend has a name? "Typical..she shouldn't even come" Jackie looked confused "What's wrong? Are you and her not friends?"

"We aren't in good terms at the moment..she talked so much about me and star and how I'm an idiot to be falling for a dying girl..Jackie that hurt me" I said a little bothered "Maybe Janna feels like you ditched her for Star? You've been missing a lot of school and we never see you around much like before? What's gonna happen when stars gone and your all alone?"

I sigh "I'll stay alone Jackie..I've always been alone? My parents were barely home when I was kid and I raised myself? What's the difference?" Jackie looked worried "Marco I'll always be here for you okay? After it goes down don't go do something rash okay? I care about you" I nodded and smiled at her

"I know you do..thanks Jackie" she hugs me and I sigh remembering all the hugs and important conversations we had when we were dating. If I had chance to date her again I would but my choice right now is Star.

After they talked and joked around Janna finally showed up. She looked out of place, she hasn't stepped foot in the hospital since Star entered and never left. She looked at me and I looked at her while I sat besides Star. "Janna? It's a surprise your here? How are you?"

Star said kindly as she walked in and handed her a small box. Janna was flushed red and had her head lowered "I wanted to apologize for being mean or rude months back or even before..I was jealous I must admit. You took my best friend away who wouldn't be mad? You also took away time I spent with him..our things we did and our special conversation we used to have"

she looked at me and I blushed "Janna I'm sorry if I took Marco away from you, I didn't mean to do it? It just happened and it was his choice to stay by me..I'm really sorry I took your best friend away I got in between something you wished could've happened"

I stayed silent as Janna smirks "It's fine..I bought you a bracelet with stars and moon's on them..since your like Marco, looking up at the sky for star's" she was amazed to see such a thing "This is beautiful Janna..thank you so much" Janna sat beside her

"If I had a chance to go back and redo our first time meeting..I would. I regret throwing the shake on you and I let my anger get the best of me I don't want to have a bad influence in my head. I'm sorry" star smiles and pulls her into a hug

"Thanks for apologizing to me, it means a lot and I'm sorry too" they giggled and I stood there looking at Janna as she looked at me. "I have a lot to explain to you Diaz..come now" Janna stood and began walking and I followed "I'll be back" star nods as I follow Janna outside.

"After weeks since we saw each other you decided to come?" She nods and looks at me "Yes Marco, I needed to get my story straight..I have had the longest crush on you since we were kids! You never really saw me like that because Jackie came along and stole my spotlight from you.

I let it slide because Jackie was a pretty cool person and still is. During the summer when we all went through changes especially you..you lost weight, you got taller, more handsome and more kind and gentle. I liked that about you but then Jackie introduced you to Star and I saw that look in your eyes.

It was seeing color for the first time..you found the one and I was back in the darkness again" I sigh feeling a bit guilty "Janna" she held her hand "After a while you went and spent so much time with her that you eventually became best friends? It hurt me because you did all our things plus made new things with her?

What made me mad was I was an idiot to fall for you and think you'll date a girl like me? I was constantly mean and pushy but that's just how we communicated with each other..but then it stopped when you left school to meet up with star.

I was heart broken that Jackie told me tell you the truth about my feelings. I did when you went to see star but then I saw you both kiss and I knew it was too late..I lost you and it wasn't worth it anymore. So I ran home crying until I bumped into the old team Captian for the softball team. He saw me in a mess and offered me some coffee. We talked and had a fun time until he told me he liked me"

she started to blush and looked at her hand "It was weeks or days after he asked me out and I said yes..it was amazing and fun but one thing kept running in my mind. You. Everytime I was with him I thought of you and sometimes I ranted about you to him on our dates and I felt horrible because he was a senior while we are freshman being sophmores soon. He understood that I wasn't over you so he broke up with me..today and I feel like shit because I had a nice guy who liked me but I couldn't return it back because I was still in love with you idiot"

I blushed and walked closer seeing her in tears "Janna.." she lowered her head and I pulled her in a embrace. It's been forever since we hugged or even spoke. It felt nice being with her again but I could never return my feelings for her even if I tried. "Janna I'm sorry for basically everything I did to you? I thought you wouldn't mind cause you always thought I was like a annoying brother to you. We were more like siblings then anything really? I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings and ruining your relationship with that guy?"

She never let go of the embrace and I sigh knowing she needed me and I wasn't there for her "Marco..I know I understand. I know I'm not pretty like Jackie or star but know I still like you no matter what you looked liked..and also I want my best friend back" I chuckled

"Me too..want to go get shakes? I'll tell Star I'll her see her tomorrow?" She wipes her face "Marco you don't have to" "But I want to? My best friend just got dumped I need to be there for you" she smiles and giggles "Alright" I quickly said goodbye to Star and the others and walked with Janna

"Hey Marco how much can you carry?" I have her a strange look "About 150? Why?" She jumped on my back almost knocking is over "Janna! Warn me next time!" She was giggling and I fixed her as we walked to the malt shop. "Doesn't this being back memories Diaz?" I chuckled

"Oh yeah...seeing our 8 year old self walking towards the Malt shop laughing and singing" she giggles as she starts singing the song "Come on Diaz you know the words.." I shook my head "Janna I'm not gonna sing" "Come on. Please?" She started singing again and I soon followed..it was nice hanging out with Janna..it's been awhile since I actually felt normal?
