The Last Wish.

CHAPTER 1

I SiT ON THE EXAM TABLE AND WAIT FOR THE DOCTOR.

When he walks in he holds his clipboard close to him, I swing my legs nervously and wait for him to read me the results. He looks at the floor and rubs the back of his neck I know then that it is something bad. I squeeze my eyes closed "Go ahead. Tell me." He shuffles his feet "I am deepy sorry Miss Grey, but the results are back and you have Acute Luekimia. Stage two." Tears flow down my face and I whisper "Will I survive?" He frowns "We haven't figured that out yet... But its serious..." I take a big inhale of breath "How long do I have?" He shuffles his feet again "Anywhere between 2 to 3 years. Maybe less. We aren't sure yet..." I stop crying and look at him then I nod once he winces "We can get you started with Chemo-" I cut him off "No. I don't want to kill my eggs." He blinks and says "Okay. Miss Grey we are going to give you some panlets for how best to deal with this and what medication to use. We are going to a pain medication. Okay." He writes a prescription and hands me the paper. I hop off his exam table and wince slightly I walk to out of the room. The nurse hands me a stack of pantlets and I leave the doctors office and to my car. I close the door once I'm inside and I rest my head on the steering wheel and cry. I cry for fifteen minutes then I drive to the walgreens by my house and picked up my prescription of pain meds then head to my house. I have decided not to tell my parents yet or anyone. I take a deep breath and head inside of the house im very tired so I kiss my parents and my little 15 year old brother Jem on the cheek before heading to my room to sleep.

I wake up and the sun is gone completely, im still a little tired, and my body is screaming at me in excruciating pain I pick up the bottle of pain pills and take two of them with a glass of water I had on my night stand. I go into my bathroom connected to my bedroom and brush my teeth and take a shower my body hurting a lot less then before. When im done I get out an dress in a pair of blue mini shorts and a black tank top and slide my feet into a pair of fluffy white bunny slippers. I walk out of my room wrapped in a fluffy white robe and walk into the kitchen. My mom, dad, Jem and Casper are waiting in the kitchen laughing over a cooking pot of spaghetti. I smile at them and Casper comes over to me and kisses me lightly. Hes so goregous, hes tall, 6'9, has curly black hair under his usual black beanie, his startling baby blue eyes, his angular features, full mouth, high cheekbones, tan skin, chiseled nose, jaw and chest. An 8 pac and perfect biceps. He has been my loving devoted boyfriend since freshmen year. I am small compared to Casper im only 5'6, I have long curly black hair as well and light grey eyes. Tan skin, a flat stomach, toned arms and legs and a big chest and round butt. My parents smile at us and Jem gags I roll my eyes at him and stick out my tongue Casper smiles at me "You feeling okay? You've been asleep since 3. Its 8." I blink in surprise "Whoa. Thats a long time." He nods his head and leads me to the table, I sit after he pulls my chair out for me and then him, mom and dad serve dinner. We all sit at the table and they all joke and laugh and I stay silent picking at my food. Pushing my spaghetti around my plate. Jem narrows his eyes at me and mouths "Eat up." I purse my lips and shake my head, mom looks over at me after Casper finishes his story about the time we went fishing and I fell into the lake. Twice and when she notices my plate she cocks her head "Pey, honey are you sure your feeling okay?" I nod my head and she gets up to place her hand on my forehead she gasps and pulls her hand away like shes been burned and she probably has because im dripping with sweat, and I feel my body burning. She quickly says "Pey honey! You are burning up! Lets get you some chicken noodle soup and go lay on the couch." I nod and stand feeling slightly wobbly, I fall against the table and a bruise begins to form on my left arm above my elbow and I rub it gingerly. Casper and Jem both race over to me and help me walk to the couch. Luckily its the middle of December so its believable that I have a cold or the flu and I feel bad for not telling them but I just cant bring myself to do it. I sit on the couch and crinkle my nose when my mom comes over to me with a thermometer and she sticks it in my mouth under my tongue that feels dry as sand paper. It takes a few minutes then it beeps and she pulls it out and turns it toward me 103. She turns to Jem whose black curls have fallen into his eyes "Jem, sweetie go get your sister some soup." Jem nods his head and runs to the kitchen to get my soup mom looks at Casper who is looking very worried "Casp sweetie go get Pey some blankets and a glass of cold water." He nods and walks to go find it.
