Little white rose

Cough cough

"Cough cough" I wake, blood staining my hands
"Cough cough" more blood covering my clothes, the bed sheets
"Cough cough" I fall to the floor crumpled in a ball.
"Cough cough" this time I scream,
"Muuuuum... daaaad..." I wait for what seemed like and infinity, until finally mum runs into the room. Her usually brushed and beatuful hair is frizzed and her beautiful eyes are red and inflamed from lack of sleep.

"Cali... Hey Cali. How are you" I peel open my eyes, it's nick.
"Hey". I croak out.
"I left something for you" with that he gets up and leaves.
"Bye" I wave, but it hurts to move but it was worth it. Again we're is James? I look to the bedside table. A note with a white rose. Yay.
It reads:
I will give you a note every time you go to the hospital. I was only halfway through this when I was told you were rushed to hospital, ha. It's a good thing you slept for a while. Any way it's time to meet me at the beach on the 14th. We will complete mission two on your bucket list.
Oh my. How exitin-
"Cali"
"Mum, dad, hope"
"How are you"
"Good what happened"
"The first chemo didn't work. But don't worry, they said it was because they did it to early. The next one is still going to happen. Don't worry" oh good
"Ok thankyou" they left. next to enter was-
"Katieeeee" I squeal
"Cali bear" she pouts, "they told me you were sick. I was so worried"
"It's ok, I'm ok... What about James were is he" she looks confused
"He said he was going to come and see you, I take it he didnt" she exclaims
"NO" I scream. I'm furious. He lied and didn't come to see me, his girlfriend. That douché bag.
"Never mind.., he'll come" I hope.
"Well I'm kinda busi, gotta... Um go and see... My mum... Because um she wants me to... make dinner... Ur yeah that's it... Make dinner" Katie runs out the room. That's odd. Never mind it's about time I got up and started moving. The door swings open, aaaannnnndddd it's James. I squeal with delight. Hiss hair is scruffy, his lips are chapped from chewing and his eyes are baggy and red.
"J...ja...James" I stutter.
"Hi babe" he places a small kiss to my lips. Then pulls away
"Wha... What was that" I manage to say, he normally lingers and makes the kiss go for as long as possible.
"Sorry, I'm tired you keep scaring me when you are rushed into hospital, I have to go" with that he is gone, out the door, then 10 minutes later I hear his jeep pulling out of the car park. That... That douchè is all I can think before the weight of the day heaves on my shoulders and I fall into a deep sleep. My brain tugging from happiness from nick to the pure and utter heartbreak from James.

Finally I wake. And I am... Back in my room. When did that happen?¿ never mind I can see faces, mum, dad, hope and nick. Well, that's a surprise. Not.
"Hey sleepy bones" mum walks over to my bed. She strokes my hair, the way I stroke hopes.
"Hey" my voice sounds like I haven't spoken in days, like a horse. Wait "how many days have I slept"
"Only a couple of hours" dad replies. He holds my hand and looks like he is holding back tears.
"What's wrong" I ask
"Nothing we are just so happy your ok" she nudges dad. Ok?
"Yeah" he replies the. Walks out the door.
"Hey, hopey" I look to hope, she looks worried and sad. "Oh, baby I'm ok, don't you worry bout me"
"I'm not" she chokes on the last word. The last to talk was nick. He comes to the bed.
"Hey only a few days until our next-" he pauses. "Meeting" I laugh. It sounds like a frog, and a horse mixed together. Then he laughs.
"Well I can't wait to see you then"
"Ok everyone she has to get ready for school" Wait what time is it. I must have asked that aloud "It's 6 in the morning silly" mum shoos everyone out and I get up, then put on some clothes nothing fancy. Go downstairs and have breakfast.
"Hey shorty" dad looks happier.
"Why aren't you at work" I ask
"I wanted to see you wake up" awwww.
