I am resting in my dorm, it's a Sartuday so I am not panicking.

  I video call Sophie whilst in bed ; "Hello Soph!"

  "Maximus what do you want, it's so early. You are killing me!" She said hiding her face.

  "Relax, I'd like for us to visit, a theme park today, are you on?" I immediately asked her out.

  "Sure Maxi! I don't mind, I hope I get a goldfish out of you today." She said whilst laughing.

  I immediately rejoice, Sophie is so nice and easy going.

  We meet up outside of campus, we call a ride. After we get on, we start having a conversation ;

  "Hey Sophie, where are you going after Uni?" I asked

  "Back home obviously!, well to be honest I kind of hope to become a Biologist. "

  "Nice, I'll support you. Just pay me enough money okay." I joked

  We both laughed at such a joke, we chat about our futures.

  .....

  After the ride

  .....

  We arrive in the theme park. ....

  We got on the ferris wheel, it is the first ride we get on. As it rolls, Sophie takes our her phone for some pictures. I look at her, I feel so content .

  This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

  I like how things are going between the two of us, after the ferris wheel. We got on a boat called; "The Slow Boat." It passed through caves, water falls, and museums.

  .....

  In a cave on the small boat

  ....

  It's dark and the place is quiet, all of a sudden we see something move on the side, "woah! I cry out"

  Sophie immediately throws herself into my arms, I smell her perfume, it's like the smell of strawberries. I snicker, thinking of the success this boat is giving me.

  She looks at my face from my chest, looks at me straight in the eye. (It's happening, as she slowly leans) I gather my composure and reciprocate her actions, just before I could kiss her, my phone rings piercing the darkness and tension.

  I check out the contact, wondering how bad their timing could get.

  [MOM JANE]

  Aunt Jane? that's strange. I wonder what does she want.

  "Sorry Sophie, my aunt is calling me, I got to take this one"

  "Hello Mom" I answer.

  She's my mom's sister; Jane Gregory. I call her mom too. Aunt Jane stayed with me, when mom and dad went to work. She owns a successful business, I was always with her her in her office and workplace.

  "Max Dear, Mary is not well. Please hurry back home. I know this is ugly but she is not doing well, and I should tell you" She said in a panicky voice.

  "What I spoke with mom recently, what happened?" I was trembling as I questioned her.

  Sophie looks on worried, I am a mess. My mom is not doing well, and I am so far from home.

  "I'll tell you when you get here, I am so sorry Max dear. Call me when you have bought your ticket. If you can't I'll arrange some other means." She said sounding frustrated.

  [Call Dropped]

  "Sophie I need to leave, my mom is not doing well." I dropped the bomb.

  Sophie panics and looks at me wondering what is going on.

  "I am not sure, but mom told me she was going for checkups, the doctor told her they need to carefully test her to ascertain something." I replied searching through my thoughts what could possibly have happened.

  .......

  After we leave the theme park

  .......

  16: 55 PM

  I immediately buy a ticket to Arizona, my friends are outside. John said they will accompany me to the airport. Everyone's look is grim, no one speaks much in the van.

  There is a flight to Chandler at 18:30 PM, I get on the flight.

  Everyone was simply encouraging me to be "strong." Some even said they will "pray" for mom. I don't say much, but it dawns on me that I just might lose someone precious again.

  Sophie gave me a tight Hug and told me, she will call as soon as she can.

  I got on my flight, perhaps I'll never see my friends again.
