Blip...blip...blip. That was the only sound that Faith heard. She was really scared, but she knew that God was with her always.
Here's what had happened. The other day, she had been hanging out with Chiwen, when she suddenly collapsed. Chiwen was smart and called the hospital before freaking out. Faith's last thought before she blacked out out was Esther. Esther on the plane. Then she blacked out.
She dreamed. She dreamed that Esther and everyone she loved just fell down around her, each just dropping like flies. Then she woke up. She found herself in the hospital. Numerous tests showed that she had cancer. The deadliest cancer. And it was quite late in the game. She had had it for months. Faith was told she only had a mes to live. Her family was there when she got the news. her little brother, Jonathon, had hugged her tight. Faith looked up and let a few tears spill down her cheeks. She knew God had a reason for everything, but she couldn't see this reason.
As she lay there, knowing that Esther was back, most likely on her way right now, she tried really hard to focus on the positive. At least this was a painless death. At least she would go to Heaven. But that big pregunta still flooded her mind. It just wouldn't go away. Why? She wanted to see the bigger picture, she really did. But when tu are stuck in stuff like that, tu can only think Why? Why me? Why not him? Why not her?. Faith had never cried in front of Esther, unless she was crying with her. She had been a good friend, and that was all that mattered.
But what would become of Esther after her death? Would Esther kill herself? Would she somehow be converted? Would she end her friendship with Chiwen? Would she blame herself? Faith shook her head. Get a grip, Faith. Remember what your name means. God is right here with tu all the way, girl, she told herself. Then she cried herself to sleep.
