Here is my first ever oneshot songfic. The song just popped into my head and I knew I wanted to write something with it. So TA DA, here it is. The song is Skin by Rascal Flatts. In the song the girls name is Sarah Beth, but don't take any notice in the name. I don't want to change the song just to fit the story. Please review and tell me how you like it. I am still working on Uncle From Hell, so continue reading that one too.
Sarah
Beth is scared to death
To
hear what the doctor will say
She
hasn't been well
Since
the day that she fell
And the bruises just won't go away
I looked down. I still had my bruises from when I fell off of my skateboard 2 weeks ago. That didn't feel right. I ran to my mom, explaining what happened and showing her my bruises. She didn't think twice about anything. She just grabbed me and shoved me into the car, bringing me to the doctor.
So
she sits and see waits with her mother and dad
Flips
through an old magazine
Till
a the nurse with a smile
Stands
at the door
And says will you please come with me
I sat there, looking around at the other kids in the room. To my left was my mom, worried as ever. To my right was my dad, holding onto my hand tightly. The nurse opened the door and called out "Lily Truscott." We got up and followed her into the room.
Sarah
Beth is scared to death
Cause
the doctor just told her the news
Between
the red cells and white
Something's
not right
But
we're gonna take care of you
I was horrified. The doctor just told me I have cancer. I can't have cancer. I'm only 14. I just can't. But I do. I have no idea how, but I do. He kept saying that they were gonna do the best they could to help me. I sure hoped so.
Six
chances in ten it won't come back again
With
the therapy were gonna try
It's
just been approved
It's
the strongest there is
I think we caught it in time
60. 60 were my chances for life. That left 40 towards sickness, and maybe even…death. I silently cried to myself. They caught it in time. In time for what? Salvation? Death?
Sarah
Beth closes her eyes
She
dreams she's dancing
Around
and around without any cares
And
her very first love is holding her close
And the soft wind in blowing her hair
I went home and went straight to bed. I dreamed about our upcoming school dance. I didn't have any problems. No cancer. No chemo or radiation having to be done. I just danced. I danced with my first love. My beautiful long blonde hair trailing behind me, not falling out from treatments.
Sarah
Beth is scared to death
As
she sits holding her mom
Says
it would be a mistake
For
someone to take
A girl with no hair to the prom
My dream was just a dream. I had no date for the prom. I was a hopeless wreck. I had no hair. What boy likes girls with no hair? None that I know of. All I could think of to do was cry. I cried all night long into the chest of my mom.
Oh,
just this morning right there on her pillow
Was
the coolest of any surprise
And
she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny
It's starting to come out. My golden locks. My long gorgeous hair. Gone. I held it in my hands, not wanting to throw it away. I cried. I cried hard, finally realizing that this is true. I might die from this.
Sarah
Beth closes her eyes
She
dreams she's dancing
Around
and around without any cares
And
her very first love is holding her close
And the soft wind is blowing her hair
I laid my head back down on my pillow. I had the dream again. No troubles. No worries. Just me and my love. I had my again. I loved my hair. Now it's gone for ever. I cried.
It's
a quarter to 7
That
boy's at the door
Her
daddy ushers him in
And
when he takes off his cap
They
all start to cry
Cuz
this morning where his hair had been
Softly she touches just skin
There are people who will do crazy things for the ones that they love. People who will shave their heads so their dates don't feel bad the whole night. There is someone out there who will love a girl with no hair. This person was standing at my door. But who would've thought it was Oliver, my best friend since we were 4. Not me. But it was. Oliver's head was smooth, cleanly shaved, just like mine. He ruined his head, just to make me feel happy. I cried some more.
They
go dancing
Around
and around without any cares
And
her very first true love is holding her close
And for a moment she isn't scared
This time it isn't a dream. It is real. I am holding onto the one that I love. Dancing around the gym, leaving all of my troubles and worries behind me. Going on a gentle ride through life, taking Oliver with me.
So, how'd you guys like it? That is a really good song. If you haven't heard it before, listen to it. Sorry if it is bad. I've never done a songfic before. Please review and tell me how it was.
