Lost Summer (Book 1)

Part 1

Y/N POV

It's the summer of 2007 my family and I are holidaying in the Bahamas it's going to be an amazing summer. Once at the hotel we are shocked to see so many celebrities. I soon realize my family planned this for me and my brother so that we can meet some of our idols. We check in and head to our rooms as we get to the rooms we all hit the hay since we're all completely jet lagged.

The next morning we all get up very early so we can all shower and then we change into our bathing suits. We put our clothes on over our swim wear after we're done we go down to the restaurant for breakfast. We take a seat at a table outside overlooking the ocean as my parents and brother start a conversation I just watch the ocean getting lost in my thoughts.

I love my family for doing this for me and my brother even though I have a feeling James is in on it since they are trying to make my last few months as memorable as ever. They want to make it special for me because this is the very last family holiday we will go on before I die. 

When I found out that I have stopped responding to treatments I told my parents to stop wasting their money and to start saving it instead. They have been saving their money for this trip for over three years now.

The doctor said it's a miracle that I'm still alive after so long without treatments. Three weeks ago I had a check-up and the doctor told me that I have about six months at most and that I should live as normally as I can and I should do all the things I want to so I'm trying my best but it's hard sometimes. 

Coming to the Bahamas is number six on my list we've been doing everything on my list from number 12 down and we're half way there even if I haven't done number seven yet but I will in due time.

Number seven is meeting Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. With so many celebrities here they should be around here somewhere. Number four and three on my list won't be done I know that for a fact and number one won't be done either. 

Number five is to eat a banana split in the moon light while picnicking on the beach and number two is to spend the night on the beach stargazing with the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks.

Number one is to visit the statue of liberty but that won't happen since all the money my parents had went into this trip. I won't get to see her but that's okay just being able to be here with my family is more than enough for me, but a girl can dream. I'm pulled out of my thoughts by James touching my arm softly. 

"Y/N are you okay you didn't hear a single word we just said" he asks worried and I smile at him. 

"I'm fine I was just thinking of everything we have done so far and how amazing this trip is going to be" I say and they all smile at me as mom repeats her question.

"What do you want to do first Y/N" she asks and I smile again. 

"Eat breakfast I'm starving and then go down to the beach" I say and they all laugh as the waiter comes over and take our order. 

We fall into a comfortable conversation about James and that stupid video camera of his. He insisted on bringing it so he can record everything this summer so that he can remember everything about this holiday forever but mostly so that he can remember me long after I'm gone. He is taking this the hardest but I don't blame him he is losing his favourite sister after all.

After about ten minutes of arguing about the camera my mom decides to let it go. Our food arrive as we're eating I can feel someone staring at me the entire time. I look around but I can't find the person so I decide to ignore it. 

After breakfast we go down to the beach it's a struggle to get through the mob of fans waiting to meet Celebs. We eventually make it to the beach but the feeling of someone staring at me never fades so I just push it to the back of my mind.

I slowly take a seat on the blanket my mom spread on the sand. They wanted to help but I said no I want to do it myself and I did. I lay back and relax with the sun on my face then James opens the beach umbrella and sticks it in the sand above me so that the sun is blocked. 

I hate that ever since I got sick I am not allowed to be in the sun for too long so everywhere I go I have to stay out of the sun. It's so annoying and because of the lack of sun on my skin I'm as white as a ghost.
