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.
View MoreThe drive to his house was silent. They didn’t engage in any discussion… okay except when he gave her his jacket to put on when they were stuck in traffic.I mean she tried to refuse but he insisted.Later he increase the volume of the music in the car, even if they were both singing it, she couldn’t hear his voice nor hers.He finally pulled off somewhere. She looked around.They were many ghetto houses without gates. He smiled.“we are here.” He said. She hesitantly nodded and placed her hand on the seat belt hook wanting to unhook it.But then she couldn’t stop looking around.She couldn't believe he lives in the slums. She never knew.His other life was freaking rich.But he said it himself, he thinks someone id trying to kill him there.So he shouldn’t have to go back to his past.“Let me help you.” He placed his hand on hers and helped unh
Gracie walked over to Andre and co.She placed her both hands behind her thinking she probably looked ridiculous in the staff’s clothes.“uh… good eve… I mean good morning.” She said.“Gracie Hey.” he smiled staring at her and… her appearance.She mentioned once to him that she doesn’t work.“um… what are you doing here?”“… obviously working.” She muttered with a light shameful chuckle. What was funny again?He smiled. She brought out the note pad.“what are you ordering?” she asked.“okay… I think…” he took a menu on the table.“… a plate of…”“I’ll go first Rick.” Marian said cutting him off.Gracie scowled at her. Attention seeker!*“what are you looking at… write.” She said. “and uh&h
Gracie pushed the glass doors open and entered the eatery.It was free of people. It wasn’t even 10 yet. Which means her mum is yet to come.She walked to the first order counter.For the first time in her life, she seemed to be observant of all the stares she was getting from people along the street.I mean they seem to look at her with this ‘I know you are fucking’ look.Was there probably a sign that shows when someone just had sex that she was portraying or what?Or stares have always been coming in, but she never noticed?She really felt ashamed walking down the street, but now in her mum's eatery, she felt alive again.“hi.” She said to the girl there getting in the counter.“Gracie.” She called surprised and looked around.She didn't even know the girl’s name yet. But she's the most friendly of all her mum's staffs.“My mum... she's coming l
Alec got off her frustratedly and moved to the other end of the bed.“this is the worst sex I’ve ever had!” He yelled. She moved to the other side of the bed. Her legs were aching.“just so freaking stiff! So what if you’re a virgin! Huh?” she heard him say. She wiped her wet face. Was he really yelling at her like that?Ugh. She thought she was tipsy until the pain of having sex sobbered her up.Why was it that painful? that wasn’t what Emma told her. That definately wasn’t what she browsed about.He kept ranting all sort of things about her being so annoying.She closed her eyes and decided to ignore him and sleep. She pulled the duvet up to her chest.By tomorrow, the pain might all be over.*Her eyes slowly opened. It was pretty bright unlike previously.Could it be that it was already dawn?She touched her face, it was all dried and messy.Dried
“you're not ready? Why?Are you a virgin?” he asked sarcastically? How did he know?She gulped nothing down and shifted her gaze to the ceiling.Oh god... Emma said it's not a good thing for people to know that you're a virgin.“I said I’m not ready... I didnt say I’m a virgin.”“shit. I see now. You're a virgin?” he somewhat found that funny. He chuckled lightly letting her hands go.He caressed her face. No wonder she had two sides.“so... I am going to be your first right?” he asked. She stared at him without a word.... she didn’t admit she was a virgin, how could he just jump into conclusion.Was it that obvious?“I am going to be your first.” He said again.“crazy... let's go to the party.” she said half shyly, half not happy that he found out.He smiled.*She was nervous. Rubb
Who freaking wants to wear his frigging manly clothes!So funny.“okay.” She said. She couldn’t care less.And she walked past him admiring the beauty and might of the room.But she suddenly felt something, his hand on her waist.“what are you doing?” she moved away from him at once.Okay... the real question is what was she doing? Boyfriends are supposed to touch their girlfriends. Right?Did she ever think of these things before agreeing to date him? Of course she didn’t.“I... I mean we are missing a... a party... At the back off...... Lets hurry.” She stuttered. He smiled and walked close to her and pulled her cheek a little before walking past.“about that...” He took the nasal cannula off his nose.“... what are you doing?” she asked. “the last time you did that... you... you said you couldn’t breathe.” She said. He s
Twisting her fingers she stared at him.“One condition. Okay then.so you agree to be my woman?” he asked. She bit her lips.Oh shit! Is it too late to go back on her words?“yes, I agree.” She said nervously.He smiled.“why dont you show me how sincere that is.” He said. She shrugged. What does he mean?Wasn’t he the one pleading a while ago? Tiss. What a guy.“why dont you give me a kiss.”“huh?”So this was where he was driving at? She should have known!She scowled at him and he smiled cockily.*“I’ll be right back.”She said walking to her room stairs.“Okay.” She heard him say.She needed to be away from him to finally breathe well and think about what she had just done.I mean she just agreed to date Alec.Could she have made a stupid mistake just now?
*“huuh! What do you mean you didn’t even get a chance to take him to your room?”“Well... I did try my best to convince him. But I didn’t want him to change his mind about reading my books.So I just st...”“who cares about your book... uh... so annoying.” Emma snapped and stood up. She strode to the window.“you won’t believe how he complimented my writing skills.He even asked to be my tutor. To me, I think that is just an excuse to keep seeing me.” Gracie said dreamily.Emma scoffed.“you are so... infact forget it.”Gracie wondered why Emma was being paranoid like always. Isn’t this a good thing?She smiled having some 》flash backs.《“this is a glass of lemonade, vodka with lime, water and wine.And I didn’t mean for this to rhyme.” She said the last part very low as she placed each one on t
"you're inviting me to your room," he asked and that rare smile appeared on his lips. Oh god. That was so dreamy. she thought.she nodded. "mn."he scoffed. so shameless of her.but he knew she was just as harmless as she was shameless.He nodded negatively. They was no need going into her room before he finds out what he wanted to."I don't think it's proper." He said."huh? but you said we are friends. You should see what my room looks like.""right now... I only have appetite for one thing. And that is reading." he said. her brow furrowed.He was probably too rude."uh... i said for now." he said. she grew a sad look but he could tell that she was faking it... she was more of disappointed. What was she upto?"Do you know that reading calms the mind and takes away 30% of our stress." he asked her brow crumpled more.He raised a brow and she chuckled. that was definately
“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
