Hi everyone this is my story. My name is Nicolette Hudson 28 years old I lived at United State of America. I’m a Doctor. I’m single for 3 years. I caught my ex boy friend with another woman. Good thing I have a best friend who always here for me. No matter what happened. His name is Dylan McBride 28 years old. We’re best friends since birth. His mom and my mom are also best friends. Dylan and I are partners in crime. He is a Lawyer. He moved at England after college. One day I spent my night to his mom’s house. She loves me very much. Early in the morning

(The clock is ringing)

“Get up sweet heart rise and shine I have a surprise for you. My baby girl” Dylan’s mom said to me.

“Good morning what is it”

(Someone’s knocking the door)

“Sweet heart open the door”

As I opened the door I was surprised

“Surprise! My best friend”

“Dylan! How are you? I thought your flight is on the next month” I asked him

He embraced me he carried me and he threw me to my bed. So I threw my pillow on his face. We missed each other we were like a real siblings.

“Hey Dylan answer me. What are you doing here. Why you didn’t call me?”

“(He touched my face and he looks into my eyes) The reason why I came here early is because I missed you so much.”

We decided to play video game. Our spare time. While playing he asked me regarding to my ex boy friend. I said I’m done with him. I teased him to his girl friends. He is play boy since high school he never enters in a serious relationship. And he tickled me we played pillow fight. Until my assistant called me. According to her I need to rush in the hospital. My patient is in critical stage.
At the hospital I did my best to save my 7 years old patient. Her name is Lily she is so sweet, cute and clever. After her operation she is unconscious. I’m willing to do everything just to save her life. Her mom and dad passed away 5 years ago due to car accident. Her auntie is her guardian.


Dylan visited me at the hospital. He asked me about Lily’s condition. I cried a lot in front of him. It’s difficult for me seeing my youngest patient suffering from so much pain. He comforted me.
Since I’m sad he brought me at the theme park. Suddenly I remembered our childhood days. My mom called me she said she cooked a sumptuous feast for us. She wants to celebrates Dylan’s successful career at England.


At our home the whole family was there. While eating dinner Mr. McBride teased me to his son Diego he is Dylan’s twin brother. He is also a Doctor he is different from Dylan. He doesn’t talk too much. Unlike Dylan he is garrulous.

“Nicolette why you’re still single?”

“Uncle it’s my choice. I’m not ready to settle down”

“Or are you waiting for someone”

“Someone? Uncle who’s do you think?”

“My son Diego. I wanted you for my son Diego both of you are doctors perfect match”

I looked to Dylan’s reaction. And he teased me to his brother. Everyone in the house teasing me to Diego. After our family dinner. Dylan received phone calls from his girl friend. She invited him to visiting her at the condominium. Dylan leaved the house. And Diego invited me for a road trip.

Diego and I went at the ocean. He wrote on the sand “I love you since high school” and he smile at me. I wrote on the sand “are you sure?” and he responds “yes 100%”.

“Are you kidding?” (chuckles)

“No I’m not. I’m serious. Just look into my eyes”

I didn’t expect he loves me he has feelings for me. And he said

“If I had one day left to live I will spend my one day left to you”


I’m speechless on that night. I can’t believe. Because even we grew up together he never shown to me I’m important to him. I remained silence. Until he said to me. He will give me a time and space to think. I never thought he is so romantic.
On the following day at the hospital. My assistant Veronica said Lily is in a good condition. I visited Lily to her room. She kissed me and she embraced me.

“I love you Doc. Nicolette. Thank you for taking care of me. And Thank you for loving me”

“Oh! You’re so sweet my dear I love you too”

(Someone’s knocking the door)

“Come in”

“Doc. Diego. How are you I miss you”

“(Smiling) I missed you too my dear”

Lily is also close to Diego. Because if I was not at the hospital. Diego was there for Lily. Before Lily going to sleep. Diego spent his night to Lily’s room for story telling. And he never missed to sings lullaby. Lily is requesting to us if it’s ok if she calls us “mama and papa”. We granted her request. On that day she started calling us “mama and papa”

After my duty I received phone calls from Dylan.

He wants to see me. We met at the coffee shop. While drinking coffee Dylan holds my right hand and he said to me he is in love to someone. I asked him who? He said his new client. Her client’s name is Mildred Stuart. I don’t understand how I feel during that day. All I know is I’m jealous. I realized I’m in love to my best friend. It seems Dylan is in love to Mildred.
I went back at the hospital. I shared to Veronica what’s inside my heart. She said I need to tell to Dylan that I’m in love to him. So no more “What if” But I don’t wants. Diego heard it.

“Hi Nicolette can we talk? If you are not busy”

“yeah sure. I’m free”

Diego and I went again at the ocean. He really loves the place. He felt down in the dumps after he heard from me. I’m in love to his twin brother.


“Why can’t be me?”

“I don’t know. It’s hard to explain”

“If you can’t love me. Please allow me to love you. I will never asks for anything. Just let me. To love you”

“It’s unfair to you. I can’t love you back”

“It’s not unfair for me. Loving you is my happiness. Just please allow me."

“Ok”

On the following day at the hospital. Lily is vomiting and her nose is bleeding. Diego helps me to save her. Unfortunately Diego and I founds out Lily has remaining 60days to live. I cried a lot. I blamed myself. I’m a Doctor but I can’t save her life from death. She is too young. I visited Lily to her room. She looks healthy and no one will notice she has a disease. She embraced and kissed us. And she requesting. On her last day on earth she wanted to spend her last day to us at the ocean. Diego and I granted her simple wish. I'm still hoping it won't happen.

At the house Dylan was there I asked him why. He invited me to visit our mini house when we were kids. We went on our tree house it was our mini house. We reminisced our childhood days together. Dylan admitted he is broken hearted because Mildred rejected him. I felt sad for him. It was the first time seeing my best friend crying for a woman. His not that way he is bubbly.

At our tree house I shared to him Lily’s condition. I’m started to cry. He comforted me. He knows how much I love Lily. We never notice we fell into asleep at our tree house. My phone is ringing. Diego is calling so I answered him.

"Why are you calling? Is there anything wrong?”

“No I just wanted to hear your voice”

“(chuckles) Are you kidding me?”

“No I’m not I just wanted to hear your voice”

Dylan noticed my smile is different every time I heard Diego’s voice. He asked me if I’m falling in love to him. I’m speechless I don’t know how to responds. So I keep smiling. At the hospital. There was a group of soldier. I asked Veronica what are they doing here. She said they’re looking for a voluntarily doctor. Who wants to volunteer for a special medical mission.

I received text messages from Mrs. McBride she invited us for a special announcement. At their house Diego announced he joined in medical mission at Israel. I was shocked. After our dinner Diego invited me to go at the ocean. I asked him why. He said nothing.

We went at the ocean.
“Why you joined at the medical mission. It’s dangerous. You must know that”

“I just want to test myself. If I can live without you”

“It’s dangerous. You have to quit”

“Don’t worry tomorrow I’m leaving the US”

“Why you brought me here?”

“It’s simple”

“Why?”

“Because..”

“Because what? I’m worried to you”

“If I had one day left to live. And that one day left is today. I wanted to spend it with you”

It was a cold night and the wave is too heavy. I started to cry on that night. How can I face tomorrow without him. Because I’ve realized I’m in love with him. I’m frightened what if he die at the middle of the war. I told to him.

“I love you Diego”

“I knew it. I love you too”

“You need to come back after your mission”

“I’ll promise. What’s present you wants to receive from me after my mission”

“Bring the first flower you see on your journey. It mean you wants to come back because you remember me.”

He kissed my lips. I felt complete while kissing him. We became official couple. The government sent him at Israel for medical mission. After 2 days. We received a bad news. Diego passed away on the middle of the war. Because he save the three soldier. The messenger gave the first flower he saw on his journey to me with love letter.
I don't know what to do. I felt my soul is missing. I cried every night.

Dear Nicolette,

I wrote this letter before I move to Israel for my mission. If I had one day left to live I just wanted to say. “ You are the most precious present from above. I’m so grateful because you love me. And I love you. Please tell to Lily how much I love her. I love you both. If I was on the heaven I'll be watching all of you.

Love Diego,

It was Lily’s 30days on earth. She has remaining 30days so I did my best to save her life. I’m still hoping that there is miracle. I convinced Dylan to act like Diego in front of Lily. Because after Lily heard from me her papa Diego is now in the heaven she is down in the dumps. Dylan spent his night at Lily’s room for story telling and he sings lullaby for Lily before she sleep. On her 59days there is a miracle she survived. I was over the moon. During that time

After a month Lily is able to go back home with her auntie. I’m so happy for her. She has a new life. I received txt messages from Dylan he has a surprise for me. I went on our tree house. He holds my both hands. And he promised to me he will taking care of me. He is willing to love me forever until his one day left to live.

After one month Dylan proposed to me.

"Nicolette Will You Marry Me?"

"Of course Yes"

Dylan proposed at his new yacht he bought it for me. He makes me happy every single day of my life.

The End.
