Thomas POV

I'm Thomas Brodie-Sangster, 21 years old and diagnosed with stage IIIa lung cancer. I don't smoke but my dad does. My mom left me when I was still young, can't remember much of it. I have a brother. He was killed by our father 2 years ago. That's when I tried to leave but my dad didn't want me to so he started to abuse me. Well somehow I got out of there and found an orphanage. They sent me to school and just then they found out that I have cancer.

Another day at the hospital. Ugh. I hate this. I hated every second of everyday and it was all his fault. (A/N lol newt be like.) Another day of chemotherapy and radiation. Good thing they have this charity thingy to keep me alive. Well sometimes I just wanted to kill myself really. Until today. When I got my daily stroll at the hospital, I saw someone. It was the first time I saw her and she caught my attention. Her (e/c) eyes, her tied up (h/c) hair, and definitely her pretty face. I already knew she worked here cause of her uniform. I can't help but stare.

Once I got in my room I can't get her out of my mind. Then I heard a soft knock on my door. A bit of me hoped it was her. But ofcourse it wasn't. It was my personal nurse Beth. She always shows up and asks how I feel. I told her my usual answer "I'm fine." But this time I actually have something to ask her. I haven't talked to her really unless it was something important. But this is something important.

"Do you know that girl? With the tied up (h/c) hair and (your height) girl. Think she's new?" I asked Beth with a curious look. "Oh yeah! Y/n. She is new. A nurse like me and it's her first day actually. I think the doctors are deciding who she'll take care of." Beth answered. "Y/n...pretty name just as pretty as her" I whispered to myself hoping Beth didn't hear. But ofcourse she did.

"You like her don't you?" Beth asks. I hesitate. "Uhm. Well. She's pretty. And-" I was cut off by Beth's chuckle. "What's wrong?" "Well I haven't seen you smile for quite a while now. The last time you I saw you smile was when I fell and spilled food all over me." Silence filled the room. Beth finally broke it.

"Well if you want.. I'll tell them to uhm.. Be your.. Well personal nurse." I smiled again. I've never felt this berfore. Butterflies in my stomach. "That'll be great. Thank you Beth." "It's the least I could do Tommy"

She then stood up on the stool beside my bed and left. As soon as she left my room, I can't help but smile.
