AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Hey guys I am back with a new story! WOOP! Yes I am still writing "I Wish I Could Only Tell You Hello" Chapter 7 will be coming out soon so yeah get excited. There will be a drama bomb going off in that chapter. Trust me! This story is an AU and the characters OOC. I got this idea for this story from the book "The Fault in Our Stars." by: John Green. Now on to the story...
Lucy POV:
White. Who decided hospital rooms need to be white? White is so boring. A boring color for a boring room. Wouldn't you want die somewhere interesting? Or at least in a room that isn't white. Maybe a light pink? A light pink is always interesting. I guess they are trying to "Keep negative thoughts out." or something dumb like that. Yes, the color white will totally keep me positive while a giant machine next to me is keeping me breathing. It's weird to know without a machine that keeps me breathing my lungs would kill me. They would fail because of my stage four lung cancer. Dying really sucks. Especially when you are only 16. I don't feel any self sympathy for myself though because what cancer patients hate most is sympathy. People look at us like we are a different species just because are body parts and organs don't work as well as theirs. Well maybe cancer patients are actually the higher people and we should look down upon the regular people. After all aren't we all made beautiful? That's what my nurse tells me. Well that is to be expected of the lower race of non-cancer patients. Clueless that some people have ugly personalities and don't have any intellect whatsoever. Yet other then her being clueless and the lower race she is pretty nice. She lets me watch "Adult Channels" or that's what the hospital calls them. Yes, they say any thing over PG is "Adult Channel" and you need to be 18 or older to watch them. I am literally dying and I can't watch anything interesting. Dumb. I can't even rap my mind around how this rule came to be. That is how complexly stupid it is. The only down part about being able to watch channels such as these is my nurse won't stop saying "Lucy you should be thankful I am letting you watch channels such as these." and gets mad when I don't tell her thank you every single time she says it to me. Which is basically everyday since I have a Criminal Minds addiction. Which happens to be my favorite show EVER! It is a great show to tell the world that everyone dies. Even family and friends. No, I do not like when family and friends die. I just hate that people think their families and friends are invincible against death. News Flash: THEY CAN DIE AND WILL DIE! I know this first hand though because my mom died of lung cancer when I was only 7 and she was basically my best friend. Me and my father both knew who was next after my mother's passing. It was basically a waiting game where you have a great chance of winning the prize of being diagnosed with lung cancer. I eventually won the prize at only the age of 12. I am now in another "Fun Game" but this time if I win I win the prize of death. Some people might think it's scary by knowing you could die any minute now. Yet I don't because everyone has the same outcome and you can't stop it no matter how hard you try. You can delay it though but I don't see the point of that. Maybe if you asked me when I was little and before the death of my mom I would give the sweet answer of saying "I will save you mommy!" or something along the lines of saving someone from the unavoidable clutches of death itself. Yet that was when I was little and didn't have a machine breathing for me and witness death take away one of the only two people I care about. My thoughts where interrupted by the opening sound of my hospital room's door. I then see my nurse come in.
"Hey Lucy how are you doing?" she asks me as she walks through the door.
"Other then having lung cancer stage four and the chance I would die any second now. I am doing wonderful." I reply with sarcasm lacing my tone.
"Well isn't someone negative?"
"Blame depression." I answer. After all I wasn't lying I do have depression.
"You know you can't blame everything on depression and cancer." she scolds me.
"You can if its the truth." I deadpan.
"Well it's time for you to get something to eat from the cafeteria. I am not going to get it for you because you need to start making friends." She says to me obviously ignoring my last statement because she has no idea how to respond to it.
"Why do I need to?"
"Because friends are an important part of life." she tells me with a small smile gracing her features.
"I already have you so why do I need anymore?"
"Think of it as the more the merrier!"
"Is there anything I can do for you to not force me out of this bed?"
"Nope." she says while grinning at me.
"Great." I say dully.
"Well lets get you ready." After a few minutes of struggling with oxygen tanks and picking out an outfit to wear I was ready. The outfit I choose for "Finding Friends" was a white sweatshirt that said "The world isn't a wish granting factory." with black skinny jeans with black and white converse. I was out the door before my nurse could disagree with the truthful sweatshirt I was wearing. I then start making my way to the cafeteria with my oxygen tank rolling behind me. I arrive at the cafeteria in a few moments later. I am greeted with the smell of disease and food. Yes, I do believe that disease has a certain smell of its own. I then notice what they are serving for lunch is fried chicken but they do have other things like a salad and such. I then make my way over to line where I can get my food. I then grab a tray and start to walk over where I can tell them what food I want. As I wait in line I feel eyes staring at the back of my head like it is a tv or something. I try to ignore it and tell myself it will go away when I grab my food but, I was mistaken they still where watching me closely even after I grabbed my food and sat down. I then was fed up with the creepy stares so I looked over to see who was the cause. It was a pink headed male with tan skin, onyx eyes, and a beautiful body. I then walked over to confront him for the creepy eye contact he was giving the back of my head.
"Why do you keep staring at me?" I ask him with an angry tone.
"Is it now a crime to stare at beautiful things?" The pinket asks me with a sly grin on his features as a blush breaks out all over my face.
"I guess not but if you look into other peoples souls it is a different story." I say as the blush dies down on my face. He then starts to chuckle at what I told him.
"Well if it is true that I looked into your soul. I would like to know the name of the owner of the soul I just looked into." he told me with a grin on his features.
"Lucy." I answered.
"Your full name."
"Lucy Heartfillia."
"That's a beautiful name Lucy Heartfillia. My name is Natsu Dragneel." Natsu told me with a grin.
"Nice to meet ya Natsu Dragneel." I say with a small grin.
"So what brings the Lucy Heartfillia to Magnolia Hospital?"
"Lung cancer. Stage four. You?"
"Heart disease. My right leg had to be amputated because of a blood clot. Other than that I am perfectly normal." he tells never once a look of sympathy crosses his face for me.
"I wouldn't say you are normal..." I say teasingly.
"WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?"
"It means you are not normal. You know weird. Unusual." I deadpan.
"I know what it means weirdo!" He tells me.
"That was the best comeback I have ever seen. I could cry." I tell him with sarcasm lacing my tone.
"Well that comeback did win oscars."
"Sure. Just like stage four lung cancer isn't fatal."
"Well it won't be after I create a cure." He tells me.
"I totally believe you." I say yet agin with sarcasm lacing my tone.
"Good because it is going to be a great news story. It will go a little like this 'A young boy with one leg and heart disease has found the cure to cancer.'" he tells me.
"I will look forward to reading it." I respond with a slight grin.
"Well I think it is time I take my leave. After all curing cancer will take some time. Until we meat again Lucy Heartfillia." He tells me with a wave.
"Same to you Natsu Dragneel." I tell him while waving back as he walks back to his room. I then walk back over to my table and finish off my food. After I was done I started to make my way back to my room where my nurse was waiting for me.
"Make any friends Lucy?" she asks me.
"I made a friend."
"Great that's a start!" She told me grinning.
"I guess." I said as I went over to my bed and started to watch another episode of criminal minds.
