She is an Apple of my Eye by Yulia Shkarupka

It was the time, when
the winter frost stopped, the snow melted, and the ice turned into a puddle. A. stood on the balcony, breathing fresh air and looking at the large mountain hills. The striking terrain in which she lived was once reminiscent of the paradise. Yes, it was wonderful here, but was there a life of healthy people?
The forest valley, where the Adwool is located, was covered by a poisonous fog of a terrible disease , it was typhus. Not surprisingly, death has become a frequent guest of this land. A. Still stood with his eyes closed, trying to enjoy the spring wind. Suddenly, in her head, the idea broke out: "Where did B. go?" She opened her eyes and walked quickly into the room.
A.and B. were friends.  Eight years ago they were left in an orphanage, where the girls met. They were very close and considered each other sisters. There really was a very good relationship between them.  B. was always loyal to A., constantly shared with her the secrets and gave the necessary advice. In turn, A. always supported V. and took care of her. But one day there was a calamity, which must necessarily cause someone else's fatal shears.
When A. returned to the room, she saw a note on the desk. That was a letter from B. She wrote: "My dear, how sad it is now to lie in bed, knowing that death is threatening me." A. understood that her friend fell ill and died soon. The girl went to the teacher to ask about the health of her friend. However, what she heard was disappointing her. The teacher said that В. remained to live for several days and her condition was very bad. Healthy children could not be contacted with patients, so A. were not allowed to see B. Therefore, the girl decided to go quietly into the room dying at night, until nobody saw. When she entered, she saw B. who was lying in bed and almost did not move. She went to bed and kissed her forehead.
- "Lie down beside me, please," asked B. The girl was trembling from the cold, so he fell flat in the bed. "You know, A., while I was here dominated by typhus, I remembered my life. I remember the first time I arrived to the orphanage and was very lonely ... no one was near and nobody wanted to be friends with me, I went for a long time a long corridor at night, looked at the stars and each time made the same desire. Do you know what it was the wish?»
-«No, my dear. Tell me?» said A.
-«Okay.  I asked the star to have someone, who once liked me as a sister.  A person who would crush me like an apple of her eye ... And the next day you came to the orphanage ... I was incredibly happy!  We started to be friends and I loved you so much! To the Moon and back.»
During the conversation, the sick girl began to choke her cough, she knew that she was still a little and she would pass away. But she continued to speak.
"I've been lying in bed all day . Every time a cough chokes me harder, I understand that I will go aloft soon, but I'm still happy, because I have you and I will always watch you from heaven. I'll be your angel - guardian " - said B.
Then they fell asleep. At the time, a teacher found A. along with B. B. was dead. Her grave in the cemetery next to the orphanage. There is a gray marble slab on which carved her name and inscription "I was an apple of your eye».
