This is the story of a dying girl. Gracie. And just like every dying person, she had wishes. Infact she had a bucket list of things she wanted to do before she finally dies. * She had cancer of the blood and bone marrow. Chronic lymphocytic Leukaemia. It develops from a type of white blood cell called B cells and it progresses slowly. Symptoms may not show until maybe years for some patients. Her CLL was aggressive and needed chemotherapy treatment early. But it was a little late for her when they discovered. So wth no early treatment, She had just 5 years to live. The hospital became her home. She was given a room there to live indefinitely. She could still recall her dad’s gloomy face while decorating her room. She eventually recovered a little, just like every other days, she found herself retiring to her former routine. Her chats with him. But when she told him she was sick and was gonna die, he kind of took it differently than she expected. He asked her why. And her reply was probably the last message on their chat till this day. If he blocked her or something, she just doesn't know. she could never find him again on social media. She cried for weeks. He was supposed to be her best friend. She was never gonna make peace with Cancer or resign to fate. No way. Eventually she stopped treatment 2 yrs later when she got her independence. No matter the treatment, she would never be able to live as long as she wants anyway. So why prolong the torture? But that was a difficult decision to make nonetheless because she stopping the treatment meant she'd have to die earlier than 5 years. But she’d rather make peace with that as long as she could do whatever she wanted before dying. ..................... It's all about love, drama, regret.

Chapter 1

“mum stop!” she wanted to yell but she could only mutter.Seeing her mum this hurt and pushy was making her want to tear up. “baby…” “stop!” her voice already in teary whisper. “stop… please.” Gracie palmed her face and sat on the bed. She was tired already from all the pressure to go back to the hospital and the fights and tears.What was the point of the hospital! She was gonna die anyway!It didn’t matter how soon, she was gonna die! That was the point! She wanted to be strong for herself, she really wanted to be.The last thing she needed was her mum's tears or begging again. “i'm going to die mum.” She’s said clearly and looked up at her mum. “I'm going to die.I don’t see any point of wasting time and resources.Please… God! I so hate hospitals now. Their stench… it's unbearable.... the whole drugs stuff... I just wanna go insane!” She sniffed and wiped her eyes.They was silence for a short w

A must read. With no regrets. This story tells the tale of life exactly how it is, not in the fairy tale way.

“it's him.” “Yeah right. My boyfriend to be.” Emma replied placing her hand round Gracie’s shoulder.She swatted the hand off. “be serious… it's him. The Andre guy 2 years ago.The one who blocked me on WeChat and Insta when he found out I was gonna die.” She said.  Emma gave her a furrowed brow. “You mean your first and only crush. Your childhood sweethrt?” Emma said with a mocking chuckle. Gracie scoffed. Childhood sweetheart that she had never met eye to eye. “really? This is so lame. Just say you like him.”Emma gave her a look. “yes I know I never met him one on one.But we had countless video calls... his eyes.I can never forget his green eyes. Never.” She said.But hold on, he is supposed to have black hair. So why blonde now?He must have dyed it. “Gracie it cant be. You never get the cool guys… remember.” Emma said. “I’m not kidding here....his tattoo… the byname he used to call m

Chapter 3

A nasty shrieked escaped her lips and she palmed her mouth.Jeez, that was embarrassing.What’s wrong with her?“sorry … uh… Hi.” She brought down her hand. She stared at him properly.Andre had black hair but he had blonde, Andre lives in Arizona not California.So it’s possible It’s not him.But then, what about the tattoo. Exactly on the same spot, the same words, the same color.Exactly the picture he had sent to her. The same skin color. What about his rare green eyes?It’s Definately him. She concluded making up her mind not to think about it again.“hi.” She said again.He soffed and eyes raped her.“I… hmm...” She cleared her throat not comfortable with his stares. “ I loved your singing… today... I mean yesterday. Or yesterday and today. It was awesome.” She smiled nervously.

  And his name... the woman called him Andre?Could that be his real name? The name sounded familiar like he had heard it that day or the previous day.Then he remembered, Yeah... that girl at the supermarket. Hold on... She was acting weird at the supermarket.They bumped into each other and he walked past but they also followed him.And he was sure she called Andre. Could that be what triggered the memories?Does she know him? * “oh god ha ha aaaaah this is sooo...!” Emma laughed like a freak and fell lying on the bed. “stop it! My mum will hear you!” Gracie muttered. That was the 17th time she was watching the video if she wasn’t mistaken. “birdie… let me be okay. Lemme laugh was loud as I want... ahhaaa.” Emma laughed and started the video over again. “you looked so shameless and I love it.” She added.Was that supposed to be a complement? Gracie asked herself. A phone started

Chapter 5

As he was about taking another sip from his drink, he sighted her climbing the short stair. He paused for a while, or maybe it was just her imagination. He finally gulped down everything in the cup and placed it down.She saw Emma behind him with the camera. She couldn’t stop smiling as she took her seat opposite him. * “oh... hi.” She sat opposite him and waved a little. He just stared at her bluntly without a word.His only business there was to find out if she knew him.He just had this feeling that they had met before... that was since he had that dream last night. She sighed and looked down at his cup sadly... or embarrassed... or regretfully.He doesn't even know. “Hi.” He finally said and took his eyes off her. He turned more drink into his glass. “eh... wait.” She stretched as if she wanted to stop him.He stared at her and she froze. He stared at her hand and she immediately withdrew it.Does

It was him. It was really him.Putting on a funny-like shirt.She drew in a deep breath and placed her hand on the door knob twisting it open.“surprise.” She let out a squeak as she opened the door.His looks was replaced with a confused one one seeing her.He suddenly scoffed.“i should have known.” He took a glance at the delivery receipt.“Gracie Riles. I'm stupid.” He muttered. She chuckled lightly.Maybe he chuckled too... or it was just her imagination.She took the note pad from him and signed on it giving it back.“thanks for patronizing Chestnuts Pizzeria.” He said. She chuckled again and took her delivery.“oh please drop the courtesy.”“okay... this is ours.” he separated the three receipt slip and took two giving her one. “and this... is yours.” she took here receipt from him.“why dont

 She took her hand bag the moment the class ended.She got up and the guy beside her also got up. He just walked to the exit without a word.Hmm. Why does she always meet grumpy guys?“uh... Gracie can I have a moment please?” their group master called.“uhmn.”She nodded and made her way towards him.*She held on to the strap of her handbag as she walked out of the building.But someone suddenly stepped in front of her, blocking her way and making her bump into... him.“Hi there.” He said and turned facing her completely. She gave him a glare and arranged her wig.It was that seat mate of hers earlier. How dare he!“Hi.” She answered clearly not interested in talking to him. She wanted to walk past.“uh... about earlier...” He said and paused. She halted.“I was just mad. Okay...” He muttered and touched hi

 She just couldn’t sleep. She was tossing all over the bed.So he was Andre after all. God, that was so cool!She smiled and turned to the left side of her bed and brought the duvet up her chest.Then she took her phone. She was gonna message him.But what would she say?She typed.“have you gotten home?”But it was already an hour since he left, so yeah he would. She scoffed and tossed the phone aside.That was the only good thing she could come up with.*She woke up very early the next day and did everything she was supposed to... even more.When her mum knocked on the door, she was already good to go.*“be good okay.” Her mum said after she dropped off.“I’m not some kid.” Her usual reply.She smiled and made her way to the building. When she gets back, she was gonna order pizza and see Andre.Uh... the thought excited

Alec came back soon with his oxygen bag. But he wasn’t using it. He smiled having his seat beside her.She moved away a bit. “what?” he asked. “are you still mad at me?”She was silent. “come on.” He moved closer and she moved farther.He sighed tiredly.Gracie still felt angry tho that he lied to her.I mean, thinking about it over and over again... ugh. They was an awkward silence for a while.“but I thought you already agreed to have a pool party with only me?” he asked. She whipped her head to stare at him. But she didn’t say anything.Of course he surely understood her look. They was another round of silence. She looked away.She couldn't wait for the pizza to arrive so she could chew something.At least her mouth would be busy, any moment from now, she could eat him alive. He sighed and placed his arm on the headrest.“Do you have a boyfriend?” he asked. Her eyes dilated in surprise and she turned to

So embarrassing.She turned to the other side of the bed.She really hope he was fine. It's not like she had forgotten what he did to her though.But she was just being human worrying, according to Andre.It’s human to care.She needed someone to talk to as well about Alec.She would have used her house line to call Emma but she doesn’t know her number.Besides It was late when she got home.Ugh!How is she ever gonna get back her phone Without having to set her eyes on him?But that'd be impossible.Maybe at the meeting next week, he'd bring her things.But what if he doesn’t bring her stuffs for her
