sweet illusion

small town boy Part 1

 Hello my name is harry, i live in a small town in london. I suffer from a sickness and there's no curing it so i was told that i wont live to get old and see my kids grow up. wich is a bummer but i still have time to live, not old age but atleast through my teenage years. there's days were i just want to go and stop worring about when is the last day i'll see the light and my family. its scary cause no one knows were you'll go when you pass. is there heaven, hell or is it just blank like a writing paper. but were ever i go just hope to see my nan and pop. its thusrday and my sister gemma is getting ready for school. i cant go cause i have to get out of town for my doctors appointment. i help my mum in the kitchen while she makes breakfast 'yum'. ''gemma breakfast is ready'' my mum yells as she sets the table. my dad comes down stairs and sits at the table 'harry would you go and get the newspaper for your father'' my mum says while serving my dad. i grab my coat and go outside. the cold breeze hits my face i grab the paper and stare at the sun as it appears behind the oak tree on the hill. i go back inside handing the paper to my dad. gemma comes down the stairs putting on her jumper. she pours herself a glass of tea' sorry mum but cant eat today, also im running late bye love you'' she said as she kissed my mum on the cheek and closed the door behind her. '' well this foods not gonna eat its self, harry would you just eat your sisters''. i look at it and just sit down. im not really hungry but it would be a waist to leave it there. as i eat my breakfast my friend louis calls . 'hello' i answerd still chewing my food. 'hey lad what you doing'. '' nothing much just eating breakfast''. ''well your eating to slow cause your late '' he says as you can hear the crowd of people in the background. i take a sip of my tea and clear my throat. '' oh sorry i didnt tell you that im not going to school today'' i said putting my plate in the dishwasher. ' well you could have told me, but i understand, alright gotta go see you later'' he said and hung up. i walk over to the couch and sit down. i turn the TV on and flip through the channels looking for something to watch. my dad finishes his food and put it in the dishwasher '' alright im off, see you to later when i get home'' he said he kissed my mum and patted me on the shoulder . he grabbed his hat and coat and whent out the door. '' im gonna take a quick shower and we'll leave''. she walked upstairs and disapeared. i turned off the TV and walked outside i walked up the hill to the tree. i sat on the swing set that hung from it. i looked at the sun wich kept me warm from the cold wind. i heard a car pull up at the white house four blocks from ours. i saw a girl and a man get out of the vehicle. than a moving truck came and stopped at the same house. i got up and walked closer, trying to get a closer look. i saw the girl apear behind the car. she was holding a locket the hung around her neck. i moved closer but kept myself hidden. i was getting closer to the house when ''harry come on we gotta go''. the girl turned around and saw me she smiled but laughed as well. i felt my cheeks get a bit red as i felt embarrased. i smiled back and quikly turned around. i walked to the car and got in. we started to drive off away from the niehborhood. i put on some music and stared out the window thinking about the girl that was moving in. i was thinking of ways to catch her attention next time i saw her, or how to talk to her if i got the chance. my mum turned down the music and cleared her throat '' so....already got your eye on someone '' she said smiling. ''what? no i was just..just ...looking at the people who were moving into the niehborhood thats all'' i said trying to keep my face serious so i wouldnt seem like i was lying. she looked at me suspicious trying to figure out if i was lying.''alright just asking '' she says stopping at a sign. i turn the music back on and lay my seat back while looking out the window. the feilds are all green and full of cotton. the sky is starting to get coverd by clouds that were being blown in from the cold wind. we arrive at the hospital, as my mum parks the car. we get off and walk inside, i sit down in the waiting room while my mum signs some paper work. we wait for about a few hours until we get called in. as we walk down the hall to our room theres crying and laughing just alot of noises in their.we go in our room and we sit down '' so how are you feeling harold'' he says placing rubber gloves on his hands. ''erm..alright i guess''. he checks my throat and ears and other places that dont need to be mentioned. well every thing seems to be fine. he says he goes on his computer and asks me a few more questions before leaving. '' are you sure your fine harry'' my mum says placing her hand on my cheek. i look at her and smile'' ofcourse i do'', she smiles and kisses my forhead . the doctor comes back in and hands me my medication. '' well your all set but harold can you step outside while i speak to your mother''. i nod and go outside i walk back and forth waiting for my mum to come out. the door finally opens after a few minutes. i could see my mum was crying cause her eyes were all red and puffed up. we walk out the doctors and drive back home. ''mum what did he say'' i said looking at her wondering why she was crying. ''wait till your father gets home''. we arrive at our house and walk inside i go upstairs and lay down on my bed. i pull out my phone and put some music on while laying down and just dazing off. i took a quick nap and woke up a few hours later. i looked at my phone it was only 2.:25pm. i get up and walk down stairs. i grab a cup of water and sit on the couch. i hear a noise out the window i get up and open the door its louis. ''hey i been calling you but you didnt answer'' he said walking towards me.i put my hand over my eyes to block the light. '' oh sorry its cause i fell asleep''. we walk inside and sit back on the couch.'' who's that girl who lives in the white house'' he said flipping through his phone. i look at him and try to figure out if he liked her or something.'' i dont know she just moved in'' i say getting up and walking to the kitchen. '' do you fancy her'' he said grinnig at me. i knew if i looked at him he would know i was lying about saying that i didnt.''oh thats a shame cause i know her well i just met her''.i stopped pouring my tea and looked at him'' you do , but than why'd you ask me who she was''. i walked towards him handing him a cup of tea.'' just to see''. he said taking a sip from the cup.now i regreted lying to him about not liking her. i felt like telling him i did but than he'll probably tell her if they started to hang out more.''wanna meet her'' he said placing his cup on the coffee table. ''sure'' i say getting up and putting my cup down. he laughed and said'' okay now dont get to excited cause she's mine. he said jokingly. we walkeed outside and started walking to her house.he rang the bell and a man opend the door. he looked rather mean.wich got me a bit nervous. '' may i help you''. louis looked at me and back at him and said'' is your daughter home we spoke before i dont know if you remeber'' he said. you could tell by the way he spoke that he was nervous aswell. he looked at us once again and closed the door. '' well that was rude '' he said walking away from the door. before we left the door opened again. it was her,the girl with the locket around her neck. her hair was down and it was abit curly from the tips and her eyes were brown but light when the sun hit them. ''oh hi lou'' she said in an american accent. she looked at me and smiled. you must be the boy who was watching me earlier'. when she smiled her dimples showed.i felt embarrased because she remembered about earlier.''oh so you guys met already'' he said elbowing me in the shoulder.'' you can say that'' she said closing the door and steppin out. ''so what do you guys want to do'' she said puttin her hand in her pockets.''how about we give you a tour around the town'' i say looking at louis and back at her.''well that seems splended'' louis said.''so a tour it is''. we walked past the school and the neihborhood.we than whent to the store and bought snacks and a movie to watch. we heade back to my house and watched the movie while eating the snacks we bought. ''its getting pretty late i should get going,but it was nice meeting you harry and also louis''she got up and grabbed her jumper and walked out the door. ''now do you fancy her'' louis said as he ate the last chip from the bag.'' what are you talking about i've always did'' i said pushing him making him fall.''no you said you didn't when i asked you''.''and you really believed me'' i said cleaning up the peices of candy wrappers. he helped clean up the room and layed down on the couch''can i stay the night today'' he said closibg his eyes, ''why not '' i said i whent upstairs and got a blanket for louis as i walked out of my room i heard my mum talking to my dad.'' no listen the doctor said he has a longer time now but not long enough to live your age''. i felt a smile cross my face so i had a chance to atleast live some of my adult hood. i ran down stairs and jumped on louis he woke up ''louis,louis guess what''. i said laughing and smiling all at once ''what do you want'' he said in a raspy voice '' im gonna lilve to be 20 or older were gonna be adults together''. louis woke up completely and we both jumped around and started talking about what we were gonna do when we got older. now i know why my mum was crying.
