Kelly:
I wake up and I see the same white walls and I hear the same beeping sound. I look around and I feel the same clammy hands, the same throat pain, and the same scorching headache. I breathe in and out and I look over at the chair and I see Tyrone. He comes every time no matter what. I had a treatment on his birthday and I told him to stay and celebrate with my family and his mom came up. He insisted he come with me and told me "I'm the birthday boy" so he could do whatever he wants.
I smile at the memory and I feel tears flood my eyes. I pick at my finger nails and suck on my top lip. I adjust my grey beanie and fiddle with my friendship bracelet that Zach gave me, for my birthday this year. My birthday is July 31st.
I hate being in this place, it makes me feel uneasy and these beds don't do justice at night. The treatments are slowly killing me. I have scars on my arms from where my treatments are and I have a scar on my side from a bone marrow surgery they had to do.
"Ty" I say chucking a pillow at him and he jumps up and looks around the room. I start laughing hysterically but as soon as I do, I start coughing.
"Fuck my life" I say leaning my head back snd Tyrone sits on the side of the bed, holding my hand.
"You'll get better bubs" he says rubbing his thumb along my rough knuckles.
"Who says?" I say lifting my eyebrows up
"Me" I laugh lightly and I look up.
"Tyrone" he looks at me and I see tears in his eyes
"Why are you crying?" I sit up and cross my legs so he can sit in front of me, on the bed.
"I'm afraid I'm gonna lose you" he admits and I hug him tightly.
"I will always be here. If cancer beats me, I will always be here no matter if it's person or just in your backyard Ty" he looks at me and laughs lightly remembering a memory when we were nine.
Flashback
I wait outside for Tyrone to come home so he could play with me. I see his light turn on and he is playing his video games.
I groan and chuck a rock at his window and he doesn't respond. I move closer to the window and I throw another, no answer. I pick up a slightly bigger rock and throw it again, but this time I actually hit Tyrone's head
"Ow! What do you want?" He says and I start laughing.
"I want to play" I say twirling around in his i havebackyard.
End of flashback
"Let's make a deal" he nods and wipes the tears that sat under his eyes.
"If I die, every time you see a blue butterfly. Know that is me and I'm with you, through your rough times and I always will be" he smiles and hugs me tightly.
"I have to film a video, want to watch" he nods and walks over to the little space I have and I throw my wig on and I start
I stop recording and he smiles at me "that was beautiful"
"Thank you"
