Ian is a 17 year old boy with a deadly health condition and a death date. Mickey is an 18 year old boy with daddy issues. When the two of them meet in the hospital, they bond and start a relationship. Will this end in tears?
Fro...
Before you read what I'll write next, I just want to clarify that this is NOT a love story. Sure, Mickey and I might grow pretty close to each other, but we aren't in love and by the end of this, I'm 65% sure that we still won't be. This is my story, okay? It's not about anyone else but me.
Anyways, Mickey left again last night. He stayed with me all night despite the fact that all we really did was lay in silence. But, we were in each other's presence, and, I can't say the same for Mickey but that was all I needed.
Right now, it's 6:30 am and I suddenly can't sleep. I'm extremely tired but whenever I close my eyes, they somehow shoot open again.
You know how I mentioned that I might be scared to die? I think that's the problem. What if I predicted my own death wrong? What if the next time I go to sleep is the last? I'm losing my mind.
"Have you slept at all?" Leon, my other nurse, asks. He's really nice even though he's new. He's like 23 years old which is close to my age. Also, I'm pretty sure he's French.
"I don't know, ask the bags underneath my eyes." I say, but then I feel bad so I say, "Sorry. No."
Leon just laughs and writes something down on a clipboard. "Dr. Varma is scheduled to see you today. Do you want me to see if he can come earlier?"
"The psychiatrist? No. Why would I need to see him? Its just like insomnia or something. See, I just diagnosed myself." I answer.
"It's just mandatory. I'm sure it won't take long, he'll probably just prescribe you a few medications--"
"Medications? Why? I'm fine!" I shout. "Wait.." I look at him and slowly shake my head.
"What?" He asks.
"Have you guys been drugging me?" I ask, looking around the room at all the machines and the tube that's hooked up to my arm. Without thinking, I pull it out and jump off my bed, running over to a corner of the room.
"Ian!" Leon shouts, jumping out of his chair and walking over towards me.
"Get away from me! Don't touch me!" I scream, throwing my arms all over the place.
Leon presses a button on the wall and then holds his hands up like he's surrendering. "Look, I won't touch you, okay? I promise that you're safe and we aren't trying to hurt you."
"I don't believe you. I don't believe shit!"
Before I can say anything else, three other nurses walk into the room. One is holding a syringe. Suddenly, my heart starts to beat out of my chest and I can't breathe.
"No!" I cry.
"Ian, just count to three." One nurse says.
They all get closer to me and one grabs my arm. All I can hear is silence even though I can see everyone's mouths moving.
One.
I feel a sharp pain in my arm and my eyes want to close but I don't want to die.
Two.
"It's going to be okay." I think I hear someone say. My head hurts and I don't know what's happening anymore.
Three.
Everything goes dark.
