To have just one more day

Chapter 4

June,5th

I am flying. High above the mountain tops I soar, the people beneath me so small, watching me live out my childhood dream. I am so happy up here, the air seems so fresh and I am surprised that the oxygen levels are no different up here than down on the ground. Suddenly I feel myself falling. I watch in horror as I see the ground coming nearer and nearer. "This can't be happening," I think. Just before I hit the ground I awake. "Thank goodness that was all a dream!" I think. I usually dread waking up and seeing my hospital room all around me, but right now it is so comforting. I turn to my left, shocked to see Tom. He's staring at me again, what is this guys deal?I'm about to yell for my mom, but just as I open my mouth he runs up to me and says "no, no Scarlett don't be afraid," "I just walked into the room, I was watching you, worried to see that you were tossing and turning quite a bit." "Duh, that's what people do when they have nightmares," I say, more snotty than I wanted to come off as. "Uhm, haha yeah of course" he says, obviously too nervous to look me in the eyes. He blushes. His cheeks turning so incredibly red. "Sorry" he says and hands me my pills. "No, it's..." Before I can finish my sentence, I am cut off yet again, he's walked out of the room. "Gosh," I think "Why do I have to let my "dying attitude" take the best of me sometimes?" I lay in bed for a few more minutes, just thinking. Thoughts and ideas are flying all around in my head. "There is so much I want to do before I die." "So many places to see and things to do, things that I want to change about myself; all my faults, or at least some of them.

Suddenly, I come up with a grand plan. I'm going to make............. A bucket list! Yes thats a fabulous idea! I smile at the thought. I will complete this list, no matter what it takes. Teah walks into the room just as I decide how I'm going to spend my day tomorrow, making a bucket list. "Wanna go for a walk around the clinic?" She asks. Yuck. I hate walking around the clinic! For her sake and my unknowing how many days, weeks, or months I have left, ignoring completely my negative thoughts on how this walk will not be beneficial to my well-being. I'm not lying it seems as though every time I step out of my room, there is a parent or parents crying for their son or daughter whom they have just lost. My heart hurts to see them in that much pain. "Oh," I think, "how I hope to not have to put my mother through that!" I agree to go for a walk regardless. Until next time! ~Scarlett❤️
