No P.O.V
The young girl sat staring at the snow white walls. The hospital was always so clean; never a speck of dirt anywhere. She smiled up at the nurse who walked in. The young girl watched intently as the nurse began playing around with the drip hanging next to her – making sure the IV was travelling through the tubes at a reasonable pace,
"How are you feeling, Brooke?" the nurse asked, as the young girl smiled weakly,
"Ok..." the young girl named Brooke, replied,
"Is the drip annoying you?" the nurse asked, smiling weakly at Brooke as she sat at the end of her bed,
"Yeah, I can't move properly so..." Brooke sighed, "But, I'm used to it... I have to do it once a week"
"Oh Brooke, you just need to remember that it's making you better" the nurse smiled as Brooke nodded, "I'll see you later then hun" the nurse finished, standing up and exiting the room as Brooke sighed.
Brooke, born Brooklyn Lee Jones, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the age of 5. Now 7 years old, Brooke is receiving her 2 year of treatment – and if she continues the way she is going, she should be well enough to leave the hospital by the summer. Her mother, Alexa Grace Jones, was told that Brooke had the life expectancy of about 10 to 20 years. But, Brooklyn was responding to the chemotherapy well.
Brooke smiled up at her mum as she entered the room; a McDonalds bag held tightly in her hand,
"Here ya go chick, a hamburger happy meal" Alexa smiled, as she placed the happy meal in front of her daughter; along with the drink, before Alexa pulled her own Big Mac meal out. They both sat mirroring each other on the bed. Legs crossed; food on the moveable hospital table – both dipping their chips into the tomato sauce. Laughter and happiness filled the room, as it always did when these two were together – they were more like sisters than mother and daughter. Being a single parent, Alexa was Brooke's life support, and had to be strong for her daughter's sake. Although the thought of Brooklyn dying young upset Alexa, she knew she couldn't crack in front of her daughter; she had to hold it together and show Brooke that everything would be fine.
