One Last Time

Chapter 3

Another day in this god damn hospital. God I hate this place.
I feel like I'm trapped in a prison here, except here I have to deal with annoying and usually rude doctors.

I stood up from my bed and walked down to the food court. It was about 9:30 in the morning at the moment.

As I walked down the halls of the hospital, I saw more and more people who looked like they were dying too. I hate to be so blunt about it but they look like they are dying.

I continued walking as the custom smell of floor cleaner and shit food consumed me.

I walked into the corridors of the food court and noticed that same boy I ran into the other day. He was sitting alone so I approached him.

"Umm hey I'm sorry I ran into you the other day. I can make up for it. Let me buy you some breakfast."

He stared at me as I said this and I could feel his stare burning into me.

He finally answered me.
"No it's totally ok. Im sorry I didn't watch where I was going."

He said that with an awkward chuckle at the end. I was dumbfounded that he thought this was his fault.

"Honestly, let me make up for it. Please?" I said to him pouting.

He giggled at my actions and let me buy him breakfast. God why is it so damn cute when a guy giggles!?

We walked up to the buffet area and looked at what they were serving.

"Ah yes. Soggy food with disgusting ass mush as a side and don't forget a large tea which will most likely still taste like shit because people here don't know what sweet tea means" I said to the boy.

He laughed and turned to me. "You're funny. What's you're name?"

I looked at him and noticed more of his face features. This guy is so cute like I swear to JESUS if he's this cute, and ends up to be gay I will cry because he's so cute!

But then again he can be my best friend which I've never had so I guess it's a win win either way.

I realized I still haven't answered his question.... and I'm still staring at him.

"My n-names Skylar" I said stuttering a little bit.

"My names Caleb" he said with a lot more confidence than me.

"It's nice to meet you Caleb. How old are you?" I said a bit curious.

"Nice to meet you too Skylar, and I am 21" he said laughing in the beginning. We took our food and went and sat down.

"That's cool. I'm 19 so we can be buddies!" I said in a childish voice. That caused Caleb to laugh a bit. His laugh can probably cure my cancer.

We continued to talk about random stuff and eventually I said my goodbyes because I had a chemo appointment at 10:30 in the morning.

I didn't tell him about my cancer. I told him I was just sick and that they are curing me at the moment. I don't want to tell him I have cancer just yet.

I mean, I still have some of my hair because I've gone against shaving the rest of it but once I keep getting chemo therapies, I'm gonna lose the little of my hair that I have left. I'm dreading the day that comes.

I was on my way to my chemo appointment when I heard my half sister call my name. I turned around and she was walking towards me.

She is my half sister on my moms side. Same mom but different dad's. My mom never had an affaire but when my mom and dad split the first time, she did find a boyfriend. It didn't work out but she did get pregnant and that's where my half sister came from.

Krissy was walking towards me. I bent down and she gave me the biggest hug ever. I loved this little kid.

"Krissy what's wrong?" I asked as I could hear her faint cry's into my shoulder.

"I just really don't want to lose you" I heard her say in between sobs. This broke my heart. She's a smart kid for a 7 year old .

"Krissy as long as I have you, luke, and mom, you won't lose me" I said to her as I started to cry myself.

Luke is my baby brother. He's only 5. I have another brother who is 19 as well but he's too bothered with his girlfriend to come see me.

"Come on krissy, I'll walk you back to mom" I said to the small girl Sobbing into my shoulder.

As I walked her back to my mom, I passed Caleb. He saw I had been crying and gave me a "I'll see you later and we will talk" look. I have a feeling me and Caleb are gonna be close.
