You're a star said Nicki

I was lying in bed, watching the television, eating biscuits. Sounds blissful doesn't it. Well it's not. Not when you put it in the way, that it actually is. Here's what's really going on. I'm lying in a bed in hospital with a thousand wires connected to me, I'm watching a boring programme that needs changed but I cant do that myself because of the wires and I was eating biscuits to help me gain weight because I'm so skinny, because I'm dying of Cancer. Doesn't sound so blissful now? Does it? I hated this. I don't want to live like this anymore. I lifted my hand weakly and rang the little buzzer to get a nurses attention. In a few minutes time, someone came. It was Anna, my favourite nurse. She had a slim face and a long brown plait in everyday. She was beautiful and kind and young. Just twenty two. "Is everything ok, Dani?" She asked. "Hi, I just need this channel changed. It's so boring." I giggled. "Ok, what would you like on Princess?" She smiled, revealing her white pearly teeth. "The animal one that I always watch please." I asked politely. She flicked through the channels and put on the one I asked for. "Want a little drink of water?" She asked. "No thanks Anna." I replied. She nodded and walked back out. I was expecting mum, dad, Lucy my younger sister, Caroline my older sister and my older brother David to come and see me for the day. As I was watching the television and the elephants on it stompimg about a pop up came on. It read 'Enter the competition for a chance to meet Nicki Minaj.' My heart skipped a beat. I looked at the clock, it was just five minutes until it was time for them to arrive. I was starting to get impatient. I tapped the bedside table, I clutched onto my duvet. Then as soon as I heard mum's voice say, "Danielle!" I breathed a sigh of relief. "Mum! Mum! Mum! It said on the television that, if you enter the competition you get the chance to meet Nicki Minaj! Please enter for me!" I said. "Hello, to you too." She said. I sighed and shook her. I looked into her eyes with willing eyes. I was such a big fan of Nicki. I loved her attitude. How she didnt care what anyone else thought of her and how she was so...Cool! Her hair went from green to pink to yellow to everything! I just loved her music and I just loved her. I was her biggest fan! I'd never been to her concerts before though. I couldnt because of my disease. My Cancer got in the way of everything. School, relationships with family, activities and simply just fun. I couldnt do anything. If I could just see her in real life, I would be so happy. "Look, Dani, dont get your hopes up. These are extremely hard to win." Said mum. I sighed and I could see the pity in my family's faces. "Dont look so sad Dani. We've got you a present!" Said Lucy. "Oh cool! Are you going to give me it?" I laughed. Lucy giggled and handed me a little bag with a bow on it. "Thank you so much!" I said smiling as I carefully untied the bow and opened the bag. When it opened up, it revealed a bright and shiny diamond bracelet with a tiny little letter D hanging off it. "Aw thank you so much!" I cried to Lucy. I winked at mum. "Your Aunt Chantelle and Aunt Francessa are coming to see you tomorrow." Said mum. "Yay!" I said. "Rusty is missing you Dani." Said dad. "Aw." I said. Rusty is our family pet. A little rusty coloured whippet. He's beautiful. I missed him so much being stuck in this hospital. We talked for a few hours before they all had to leave. Just before mum walked out waving a text came through to her phone. Her face fell and she walked over to me. "Dani, we didnt win love." She said. My heart sank. A sudden rush of anger came over me. Why couldnt I be lucky for once? My life was full of bad points and nothing good ever happened. Right now I'm at my sickest and I know I'm going to die soon. Very soon. In fact probably within the next three months! "Sorry Mrs. Coomber but you have to go." Said a nurse. She nodded and kissed my forehead while the others waved through the window. "Bye love. See you soon!" Said mum. "Bye." I said. As I watched her go my face fell. I just wanted to have something amazing happen before I died. I turned onto my side and closed my eyes and imagined the atmosphere at one of her concerts. Everyone would be screaming and shouting. Everyone would be jumping in the air and waving their arms about crazily! I'd love it. I felt myself drifting off and soon enough I was fast asleep. For once, I had a nice long peaceful sleep and then woke and didn't feel too good at all. I felt sick and dizzy. I called for Dr. Aspen to my room. He came in with Anna and another nurse called Kim. Kim was in her forties and was so kind and wise. Then there was Anna, my favourite. "Is everything alright, Danielle." He asked. "I feel a bit sick and dizzy, but can I ask you something." I said with a croaky voice. "Of course. Anna, could you go and see to David down in intensive caere and Kim, could you go and help Maria. She's bound to be struggling since it's her first day!" Said Dr. Aspen, whose real name was Frank. He sat down on the seat next to my bed. "Well, you know how I am at my worst." I asked. "Yes." He answered. I felt warm and nervous. "Well how long do I actually have to live?" I stammered. He frowned and sighed, as he was facing the dreaded question. "To be completely and totally honest, just under two months Danielle." He said. I felt a prickly tear come to my eye. I felt a complete moment of pure sadness. I nodded and he understood I needed to be alone and left. I called dad as he always cheered me up. "Hello my little princess." He answered. "Hi, is Aunt Chantelle and Aunt Francessa still coming?" I asked. "Well no, but someone else is coming for you. We'll all be there too. Well actually...Your two aunties and uncles and grannys will be there. Pretty much everyone." Said dad. I raised an eyebrow. Why was the whole family coming? That never happened! "Who is this person then?" I asked, ever so curious. "Surprise!" He said. "No! Just tell me now dad!" I wailed. "No! You'll see in an twenty minutes time! So bye!" He said and slammed the phone down. Again, I clutched on to the duvet, and tapped my fingers on the bedside table. I fidgeted with my thumbs and bit my nails. I was so nervous, but twenty minutes passed and dad came in. He smiled and I smiled wider. "Show me!" I said. "Ok." He said. I didnt mind the fact that I felt sicker than ever and felt like I was about to die, I was so excited. The whole family trooped in and waved and smiled. I thought that, that was the surprise. However, when the last person came in, which was David, everyone looked at the entrance waiting for someone else to come in. Caroline, David and Lucy peeked around the corner and winked at mum. I could hear the sound of high heels coming down the corridor. The clop clop clop of the heels hitting the ground made me more excited I smiled and the person walked in, with a wide smile and glittering eyes. My heart skipped a beat. I felt like I was in shock. My face looked like it too. I kept my eyes on hers and I looked at her up and down. It couldnt be. No way. It couldn't be her. That would be too good to be true, but I pinched myself and it was true. She was there, in the same room as me and she was looking right at me. It was Nicki Minaj. Right there. "Hi, Danielle." She said with her perfect American accent. "H - H - Hi!" I said as I totally freaked out. "Nicki Minaj?" I asked. "That's me." She said. I gasped. "I love you so much! You're so cool and I love you so much and you're perfect and oh I just love you so much!" I said and flopped about and held out my arms for a hug. She walked over and hugged me. She smelt of sweet perfume and her make up was perfect. When she was hugging me, I felt extremely ill. I felt like I was dying. Literally. I couldnt now. Not when I finally achieved my life long dream! "Aw I love you too. And I'm not perfect! You are. You're so beautiful." She said. "Thank you so much!" I panted. Now I felt seriously ill now. I felt like I was literally going to die. Maybe my parents knew and organised this all...What if they did...I savoured the moment with Nicki. Though I felt myself slipping away, surrounded in so much love and happiness, and it hurt me to know that I was. "You're so strong, Dani. I'll never forget you. Never." She said. I felt a tear of happiness trickle down my cheek. Nicki wiped it away and smiled. I smiled back. I couldnt believe it. This moment was magical. "You're a star." Said Nicki. In that moment I was gone and the last person that ever talked to me was, Nicki Minaj.
