‘Good morning Blossom, how you are doing!’ I stood up or tried not to wilt again. I curled my petals ‘It’s so cold!’ As usual, I grabbed my fallen leaf that landed on the ground last month. As I tried to reach the warm sun light, I heard footsteps heading my way. I prepared myself, in case it was a hungry bunny or a greedy bee, oh how I hate being a lonely, insane flower.

“Blossom…Are you here?” It’s just my caretaker, Lily! Ever since these highways have been built, she’s been coming here to take care of me, since she loves flowers and because I am a ‘extinct’ flower as they say, but I could be the last one of my kind “How have you been? Did Edd come yet?” She stood there with an angry, puzzled look on her face. She didn’t like Edd, since he is one of the people trying to get rid of me the only way the can, to kill me. I nodded in a way she understood “Good, because today I saw him with a gallon of deadly, weed killer and he looked like he was heading your way, so I rushed through traffic with my bike and now I’m here!” She smiled at me, she looked as if she was gonna cry.

“Are you talking to that flower?” A man wearing tuxedo tapped her arm, I felt a strange vibe coming.

“Uhh…Yea!” She stared at him was courageous eyes, I wish I was that courageous, but sadly I’m not, since I am just a flower.
“Would you like to take it? We were going kill it, but I can help you get it- “Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Lily

“No!” She had disagreed, her face turned both scary and angry “This is her home! If I take her, she won’t be free! Just leave her here! Please!” She started to cry a bit.

“Fine!” He sped away, then got into his grayish black car with a bumper sticker that looked like a llama.

“I’m so tired...” She started to yawn, she always had a blanket with her, but not today, so I tried to take off her bright yellow, rain coat, but she did it for me, then when she fell asleep, I caressed her face with my white, with pink at the edges, petal on her warm, soft face.

‘Good night Lily…’ I fell asleep with her, that was the best day ever.

This morning was different, my petals were dropping, and Lily seemed super ill ‘What happened last night?’ I stood up, looking for Edd, just in case he came last night and made me poisoned and Lily ill, but he wasn’t there. Lily woke up just in time, then she fell back asleep, she’s such a heavy sleeper. I started to think about my seedlings, their names would be Lila, Cadenza, Paul, Ryan and even Jared, but my favorite one is Cadenza, since it’s a great name for a girl seedling.
“What time is it!?” Lily woke up and startled me “I have to go! See you later!” She ran off, seemly excited. Today’s her birthday, so I decided to use one of my petals to make something and it worked. A new pen laid by me, so I put my origami petal on the top of the pen. I wish I had a birthday, but flowers don’t have birthdays like humans do, although it would be fun to have one.

“Buzz buzz” a bee had come over to me, I couldn’t afford to lose any pollen, so I smacked the bee away, but little did I know I would regret it.

“Hey! Why did you smack me?” She looked angry.

“I can’t let you have any of my pollen” I tried to not stutter, since she is the queen.

“Why not?”

“I’m going to die without it! I’m the last flower of my kind that I know of and I have seedlings that I carry” I grabbed one of her arms “Please!” She swiped her arm away

“Fine! If you die, all that pollen is mine” I agreed, she decided to stick around talk to me about how I will stay alive and stuff like that. She even questioned why I friended a human, I gave her a good answer that made her surprised.

“I have to go before they close the hive, due to the cold weather coming, see you tomorrow?” I nodded, then she flew of into the sunset, leaving me, once again, alone…

The next morning, I saw Edd coming towards me with a bottle of poison. “Hey flower! Wanna have some water?” He tried to fool me, but it never works. Before he could pour any poison on me, just then, Lily came to my rescue!

“Edd! You better stop now!” She stood in front of me so Edd wouldn’t try to pour some on me while she was talking.

“Stop being a drag and join me! This flower has to go either way!” He started to push her out of the way. I, for once, got in on the action and grabbed a piece of glass that laid on the floor and stabbed his leg. He then started to limp towards the black car that pulled up.

“That’s what you get!” Lily started throwing rocks at the car. I thought it wasn’t necessary, but he deserved all what was coming to him. “See you tomorrow Blossom!” Lily then rode away on her bike. I’m glad she saved me, hopefully one day I can save her.

“Hi again!” It was the bee from yesterday, she looked different, her wings were covered with dirt, her yellow and black fuzz also looked darker

‘What happened?’ I looked at her, her smile slowly faded away and her wings slowly lowered, making her land on the soft, green grass
“My bees betrayed me, then made a beautiful looking bee to be there Queen…” She moaned softly, she then turned happy again “What happened while I was gone? Did a lazily and young-looking boy come over her and tried to dip poison on you?” I turned surprised, she got what happened, right

‘That’s exactly what happened!’ I said surprisingly, she smiled ‘How did you know!?’

“Just a hutch!” She buzzed, then sat on my leaf, which wasn’t wilted anymore “How’s your health, and the babies?” I looked at my seeds.

“Just fine, they are warm and ready to come! Tomorrow!’ I sighed, only if the kids could come today

“So, your population is gonna survive!” She exploded into happiness and tears, it’s actually pretty funny to see her so excited “Can I be their Aunt! Please!” She pleaded

‘Sure!’ I nodded, she exploded again, I felt good inside, but I knew tomorrow I will die, since that’s what happens to all flowers after they give birth (Not really! Don’t listen to the fact, it’s not true, just something extra dramatic) I looked at the seeds again, oh how much fun we’ll have the last ten minutes of my life.

“Aw! Their so cute!” Flowers started to bloom, there was a pink, white, purple, black, and mixed with red and magenta.
“I have to agree with her, their adorable!” Miss bee said, trying to help open the flowers’s petals “Blossom, take good care.” Miss bee stood over with the flowers and Lily.

“Goodbye Blossom” Lily started to cry, her tears fell onto my gloomy petals “Here, have this” she handed me a bag, it was filled with my old petals that I had when I was smaller. I thanked her, and I started to wilt

‘Bye Cadenza, Ryan, Paul, Jared, Lila, Miss bee and Lily’ then, I died right on the spot.

They cried, they walked, slept and buzzed away from my dead, wilted flower body that had got rest for the first time.
