You're One to Remember by Chanda Dobra (best books for 20 year olds TXT) 📖

Turning to Ash guilt made her forget about herself, “I know it’s not worth anything, but I really am sorry, this is entirely fault.” Ash turned to her, anger blazing in those gorgeous brown eyes, “Why did you even leave? And why the supply closet?” Frowned she nearly busted out crying, “My family came to my mind, so I went to look for a phone…” “I could have gotten a phone!” Rage made Ash raise his voice. Myra flinched, “My stomach started hurting so I crawled towards the nearest room… then all that happened.” Ash stood sharply and began to pace, his eyes locked on the floor while his hands clenched open and shut repeatedly. Was this Ash, or were the fumes affecting him? “Ash, Ash please calm down. I was just scared… I just… I want to go home!” Sadness took over as she thought of her family; they probably think I’m dead! Ash ignored her, his pacing made her stop crying and become restless. “Ash, stop pacing.” He ignored her, his furious eyes looked directly at her, but he didn’t stop pacing, “What?” He spat angrily at her, “Do you not lick it when I pace, Hmm?” “No, I hate it, so stop.” “No.” Ash glared at her then locked his eyes once again on the floor, glaring as if the ground, but it didn’t take long for him to calm down. The hurt in Myra’s eyes burned as she watched Ash, when he caught her eye he sighed, his voice apologetic, “Look, I’m sorry alright… you just need to be more careful.” I know-““No, you don’t know.” Surprisingly Ash walked towards her and kneeled down, holding her hand while she sat on the edge of her bed, his deep brown eyes looking intensely and passionately into her own as they dimly glowed a gold, “From now on, you do nothing but be here beside me. Be yourself, be mine. I will do anything for you, I will use more than my strength can handle, I will run farther then the edge of the universe to the farthest star, I am never going to lose you.” Myra smiled, her heart beat quickened slightly by the sound of his kind words, “You would do that… for me?” ”I couldn’t think of any better prize.” Ash smiled then stood, his arms flowed so gracefully under hers. He lifted her to her feet and they stood, Myra breathed in his warm, honeysuckle scent as he embraced her. A tear of joy rolled down her red, blushing cheeks, this isn’t fake, he really does love me. Ash’s breath tickled her ear as he whispered ever so quietly, “I love you, Myra.” Closing her eyes, Myra took in his words like she would never hear them again, “I…I love you too Ash.”
They hugged for what seemed like forever, but Myra didn’t mind. A tear rolled down her cheek as she remembered these would be her last days with Ash and her family. My family, I have to get back! Stepping back, letting go of his arms and exhaling his scent from her dying lungs, Myra frowned and spoke firmly and determinedly, “I have to get home.” “I know, I’ll drive you to the airport and we can fly together.” Tilting her head, Myra looked at Ash confusedly, “What about tickets?” Ash shrugged, “I can use my college savings, I’m probably never going anyway.” Myra frowned but gave Ash a short hug, “Thanks.” Ash turned when Myra stepped away again and began to grab his things, “No sweat.” Smiling, Myra turned and began pulling off the hospital gown and into her normal clothes, thankful to get out of that worn blue gown. Together they made their way down the halls, passing endless doorways until finally they walked outside. The large black doors of the hospital entrance swung open as Ash pushed them forward, the sunlight burned through the tree’s, shining in Myra’s eyes, blinding her to the point everything began glowing yellow for a few moments, “Wow… we were inside for a little longer then I thought.” Ash laughed in agreement, “Yea.” Looking around, Myra saw she was standing on a short stone stairway leading to the ten or fifteen story hospital, “Whoa…” Myra breathed out in shock as she looked up, staring at the huge building she had just been in. Ash grabbed her arm and gently pulled her along, through the small crowd of people making their way to the hospital entrance. They walked hand in hand to the parking lot, where Ash turned around and stood in front of her, his hands holding her back from continuing her walk, his eyes turned hard with seriousness as he spoke, “Myra, I have someone for you to meet-“ Myra raised her eye brows as he spoke continued, “She is the only women I will ever love, so don’t get jealous okay?” For a moment Myra’s heart stopped, another girl, what? Suddenly humor blazed in his eyes as he turned and ran to his old red Ford. Ash smiled and pressed his hand against the truck for a moment, and then he climbed in the front seat. Myra half ran forward and pulled her own door open, climbing in beside Ash. She glanced at him as he started the engine, Ash caught her eye and he smiled, “To London?” Myra nodded with a small smile, “To London… to home.”
Hours passed, Myra refused to stop at the resting areas. Ash glanced at her worriedly, “Are you alright? You look like you’re in pain…” Myra couldn’t stop twitching, I need to pee… NO! Don’t think about it Myra, you have to get to London- Oh god I have to pee! “I have to pee!” Myra snapped and Ash laughed, “I told you we should have stopped, but you wanted to keep going!” Ash laughed while Myra’s patience ran out, “That’s it, pull over.” “Whoa, whoa, I’m not leaving you on the side of the road Myra.” Ash half laughed half spoke firmly. “I know that, I need to pee!” “Oh, oh right.” Ash brought the truck to a stop as he pulled in to the right side of the dirt road. “God damn, that took long enough!” Myra snapped while slamming the door open and rushing behind a tiny bush. Crouching, Myra shivered as a breeze buffeted her, perfect, just perfect! “Stop watching!” Myra spotted Ash peering over the bush, “Oh, oh sorry!” Myra felt flattered, violated, but more embarrassed then anything. “I see you blushing.” Ash’s whisper sounded on the other side of the bush, “Hey! Stop invading my privacy!” Myra half laughed half yelled. Finally she felt better and jumped over the bush, landing lightly on Ash’s back then running off, “Hey!” Ash laughed and stood to chase her, but Myra locked the door’s lock, “Hurry up slow-poke!” Rolling down her window she poked his face and laughed. He smirked, “Very clever.” He walked around then climbed into the truck, “Alright, London here we come.”
Opening her eyes, Myra felt warmth coming in small waves off of Ash’s chest, “Oh!” Myra was sleeping nearly on top of him, he was sound asleep on the airport bench they had been sitting on, “Ash, Ash wake up the flight!” Ash grunted and tightened his eyes, then they flashed open, “The flight!” Suddenly a women’s booming voice sounded over the intercom, “Section 12 now boarding, last plane to London.” A shiver of terror and worry made the hair on her arms stand, “Come on, get up!” “Then get off!” Ash lightly nudged her off of him, “Oh yea, oops.” Myra jumped to her feet and stretched quickly. She watched as Ash grabbed their things, I don’t have much time left to spend with him… or my family for that matter. The thought of her death made her face go pale, I am going to die… and there is nothing I can do about it. Frowning, she wiped on a fake smile once Ash turned around, “Alright, let’s run.” The intercom woman sounded again, “Last warning, Section 12 boarding, last plane to London.” Myra smiled and grasped Ash’s hand, pulling him through the crowd she ran down a tunnel with large words above it, Section 12. Panting lightly, she began to walk, her lungs pulsed from the effort of breathing so hard while running, and she tried to hide the fact she couldn’t breathe that well from Ash, “Hurry up we sit in… Seat 7 and Seat 8!” Myra quickly walked down the aisle; people sat in almost every seat. Turning to Ash, she pointed to two open seats with the numbers 7 and 8 on them, “There.” Myra settled herself by the window while Ash stuffed his suitcase into a opening above them. He sat down, flopping like deadweight beside her, “So, watcha doin?” Myra smiled gazing out the window, “We should-“she stopped them a flight attendant walked through the aisle speaking in a lower toned voice, “Fasten your seatbelt. Fasten your seatbelt. Fasten your seatbelt.” The repetition of the same sentence made Myra feel irritable, that girl has the most annoying job ever. The woman stood beside Ash’s seat and looked at them, “Fasten your seatbelt.” She watched as Myra clicked the belt, Ash had trouble and the woman leaned over, her blond hair gently brushing ash’s cheek, “Here, let me help that for you.” Ugh, that bitch’s boobs are falling out of her shirt on purpose, whatever, they are obviously fake. Myra glanced at the wide-eyed and frozen Ash as the woman placed her hands just above his pelvis, fastening his seat belt as slowly as she could. Rage and jealousy pulsed through her blood, alright she is pushing it to far! Without thinking, Myra grabbed the collar of Ash’s shirt and pulled his face to hers. The woman stared, her eyes narrowed. Myra planted the best kiss she ever put on any guy on Ash’s lips, glaring at the flight attendant as she did so. Ash tensed up, then relaxed as if falling asleep. The flight attendant snorted and stomped off to the next passenger. Releasing Ash, Myra smiled at him as he leaned back on his chair, arms folded behind his head, “Wow…” Myra laughed, her cheeks burning with embarrassment. Ash snorted, “You did that to make that girl back off, huh.” “No… okay maybe.” Myra smirked, “But, I liked it.” Ash smirked and closed his eyes; Myra couldn’t help but laugh when he licked his lips. I hope that is the last kiss we have before I… her thoughts trailed off and she looked back out her window, gazing out as the plane began to lift off until she fell asleep.
Myra awoke to Ash’s hands gently nudging her awake, “Myra, Myra wake up we’re here!” Myra sighed, I just want to sleep… wait- did Ash just say what I think he said? Her eyes flew open and she leaped to her feet. Her head slammed on the little cabinet above her that held Ash’s suitcase, “Fuck!” Myra landed back on her seat, rubbing her sore head, “Myra?” Ash spoke like he was concerned, then he must have seen what she did and he started laughing, “You’re just full of fails aren’t you?” Myra shook her head, “I’m good, let’s go!” Myra felt a terrible pain inside her, and she knew her time was coming to a close. Tears filled her eyes and, looking into Ash’s eyes, she smiled and planted yet another passionate kiss on him. Once she finished Ash nearly fainted backwards, instead he fell forwards, and Myra had to steady him. Laughing, Myra hugged him tightly then pushed him upwards, making him stand straight, “Come on, my family is going to love you.” Ash smiled and he grabbed her hand as he helped her down the steps and out into the crisp, freezing air of
