wouldn’t be a bird without you. We shall be birds together.”
We continue to watch the movie in silence, Jenna or me making a comment about how we feel about a certain scene from time to time. We arrive at the scene of the dance and when older Allie pushes Noah away, I can’t help myself from starting to cry. Jenna is sniffling too.
“Are you crying?” says Logan, looking at me.
“Jenna! You’re such a girl!” exclaims Ryan, looking down on his girlfriend.
Jenna hits his chest. “Oh, because usually, I have a ding along down there. Shut up, Ryan.”
Logan starts to laugh loudly and points at Ryan. I laugh as well, because the flush on Ryan’s cheeks is hilarious.
“You guys made us laugh at a sad part! You ruined the moment!” I huffed, through snickers.
“Too bad, you look better when you laugh,” says Logan.
I look at him and laugh in a pitchy high voice that made it sound as if a cat was dying.
“Even now?” I say.
“Not that much, but you still look beautiful even when you sound like a walrus.”
“Get a room!” says Jenna, nudging my foot with hers.
“We should, right?” answers Logan.
Oh?
“Let’s finish the movie,” I say.
Both girls in the room are bawling their eyes out at the ending. Logan sniffles and I look up at him in shock.
“You’re crying?”
“No, I am not,” he says, with tear streaks on his rosy cheeks.
“It’s sad, admit you were crying!”
He bent his head lower and mumbled in my hair, “Would it undermine my masculinity?”
“No,” I gulp. “In fact, boys are cute when they cry.”
“Then I’m adorable,” he announces, putting his chin on the top of my head.
The credits are rolling now and we are sitting in silence.
“Do you have a bucket list?” says Jenna out of the blue.
Logan replies, “Yep.”
“Can I see it?” I ask. “We should accomplish everything you want before— I mean as soon as possible.”
Before you die.
“Sure, let me go and get it,” says Logan, standing up.
As soon as he leaves, Ryan calls my name.
“How long does he have?” he asks.
“Nine months,” I say, almost inaudibly.
Blinking the tears away, I straighten myself up when Logan arrives again, a paper in his hand. He gives it to me.
“I want you to be the one to read it,” he says.
“Okay.”
I, Logan Thomas Masterson, want to do all of these 15 wishes before I die.

4 . Go paintballing
5 . Go swimming with dolphins
6 . Save a life
7 . Go on a road trip around the USA
8. Go to a concert!
9 . Find the girl of my dreams
10. Graduate from high school
11 . Do a color run
12. Fly in a hot air balloon
13. Go on a romantic picnic on top of a Waterfall
14. Learn another language
15. Kiss someone at New Yea r’ s Eve when the clock strikes
I share looks with Ryan and Jenna and we are all silently agreeing and for the first time, I feel like I’m able to help him through the cancer. I turn to Logan and smile.
“I, Amaryllis Grace Wolfe, promise you that all of these wishes will be done.”
His face lights up. “I love you so much.”
I kiss him and feel an overwhelming sense of relief come over me.
“Hey? We’re still here?” says Jenna or Ryan but I don’t care.
He pulls away. “First wish, check . Oh, and the ninth one too.”

“Amy! Amy? Please, wake up! For God’s sake, wake up!” Someone, I recognize now as Dad, shakes me. He looks nervous and very worried. He is in his pajamas, keys in hand.
Glancing at the clock, I realize it’s 2 am.
“What’s wrong?” I say, knowing that his reason for waking me up is probably worry-worthy.
“Logan, h-he’s not
