Advertisement
I need to vent to someone so I quickly text Mary and Eli
I grab my jacket and walk outside, I'm just going to keep walking until I'm feeling better. I just hope I don't get lost.
And of course I pass a cemetery.
Maybe I should go in? I mean ghost are actually nicer than the living?
I take a deep breath and start to walk in, I feel calm for some reason but also overwhelmed.
"Hello?" I look and see a old lady
"Hi" I smile
She sitting on the bench.
"May I sit next to you?" I ask her
"Of course" she pats down the empty spot next to her
"How can you see me child?" She asks confused
"Long story" I mutter
"What's troubling you?" She says softly
"Nothing I just I moved here and now I have no friends and this guy that's my neighbor and in charge of taking me to school is a totally jerk and I just want to cry because I miss my friends and my Luke" I say crying
She pats my back soothing me.
"Well you don't know what will happen tomorrow it might be better"
"Yeah that's what everyone says" I sigh
I look at her "if you don't mind me asking what's your unfinished business?"
"My husband George I'm worried about him." She sighs "he forgets to take his pills"
"Where does your husband live?" I ask her
"Over on Apple street in the blue house" she tells me
"I'll go help him" I tell her
She looks like she's about to cry now "thank you so much"
"Can you do something for me?" I ask
"Anything"
"When you go into the light will you tell a boy named Luke that I miss him" I say trying not to cry again

"I promise"
I see her slowly fading but she's not going anywhere until I do what I told her I was going to do.
"Goodbye" I smile and head to Apple street
It takes me awhile until I finally find it.
I knock on his door
"Hello who's there?" He says answering the door
"Hi I'm sorry I don't mean to bother you but I'm a volunteer at the hospital. May I come in?" I ask him, I'm getting really good at this lying thing
"Of course sit down" he says
I sit across from him
"I won't take much of your time but I wanted to check on you and make sure your taking all of your medication?"
"Well I think so but sometimes I'll have to admit I forget" he chuckles
"Well I brought you something" I hand him something he can put his pills in for every day of the week
"Thank you" he smiles like I gave him a diamond
"Here let me organize them for you" I say happy to help him
"Thank you"
I make sure he's all set for what pill to take on what days.
"Just make sure you go to your check ups I saw you have one Thursday at 2" I say to him
"I can't thank you enough" he smiles
"It's my pleasure just take care of yourself" I smile

Terminal
My heart was shattered that day. It was on that day that I realized that life had an end, and that mine was coming. It was on that day that I realized that I was going to die. Leukemia, they told me. It's almost over. I didn't know what to do after that. I thought that maybe it would be best to die right then, get it over with. I thought that I could push myself away from all my friends, all my family, stop them from missing me after I was gone. I thought that I could handle it on my own, that perhaps the world was better off without me. I was wrong. So please help me, I'm dying. Save me, I'm falling. They tell me I won't survive. Please catch me, because if you don't, I'll shatter. I can't grab on anymore, I can't keep fighting. It's going to swallow me up. My name is Alyssa Gray, and by the time you finish reading this, I'll be dead. ________________________________ A few warnings and things to note: -I've put up the tramatising content tag due to a lot of mentions on death, dying, illness, and a mother who tends to be rather cruel. I know that I take a perspective that many will strongly disagree with, and I'm okay with that. Just be warned that this isn't lighthearted stuff. This is real, and death is real, and this part streaches beyond the fiction into reality. -I'm going to say a minor spoiler, but I don't want it to take you unaware because it is something to be aware of. At one point, my MC attempts suicide and fails. It's a very violent scene and I will put up the gore tag after writing this, and it's also just really depressing. If this will be triggering, you need to be aware of this before you read it. -This is a christian book. It may go against some of your beliefs. I hope that you can read and comment anyway even if some of it does not sit well with you. Credits for the cover go to the user 'Media in Sanity'. Your help and assitance has meant so much to me, God bless you in your writing and your endevours. A proud member of WriTE. I've promised to finish this fiction and update it at least once a month. My schedule is very irregular, and I'm working on that, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that this book stays out there. I'm not ending it until it's done.
