Chapter 1 - 1

(Huff, huff) the girl lying on the hospital bed was breathing heavily, her expression was bitter because she was in pain and it was unbearable , her body was sweating all over, right now the only thing she wished for was the pain to end.....

KNOCK,KNOCK,KNOCK

There was knock on the room's door and then somebody entered the room, the girl only heard the footsteps but knew who it was, the footsteps drew nearer and at last stopped just by the bedside, the girl didn't even bother looking at the figure that had just entered the room she just adjusted her facial expression and said with a cold voice….

"Why don't you just give this story an end? Both of us will be happy...….." the girl paused and took a break, she clenched her teeth and breathed deeply , just to stop the tears from falling out of her eyes, she was just trying to act tough

"does it feel good?...seeing me like this? Are you finally happy?"

She didn't get any reply from the person

" what do you want? do you want me to beg you?" she paused again

" if you want that then I will say it...PLEASE! PLEASE! Just end my misery…just let me die….." the girl turned toward the woman who was standing at the bed side, the girl pleaded and she was no more able to control her tears, the tear drops ran down her eyes

" PLEASE! I BEG OF YOU!!!.....I BEG...…." Her words were not complete yet when another wave of pain struck her, the pain was so severe because her internal organs were not functioning they were getting eaten away by her own immune system. The pain made her scream , she curled into a ball while hugging her body because she felt like her body was being torn apart, the woman called for the doctor and the hurriedly checked on her condition, and in the midst of all the hassle the woman walked towards the door because she was unable to see her daughter in pain, Alexia saw the fading image of her mother she shouted at her despite of her condition

" don't you dare walk away...….don't turn your back on me... just let me die….i can't take it anymore" (Alexia)

The doctors gave her sedatives and she soon went to sleep…..

The sun was shining brightly today , Alexia's room was very bright ,it wasn't gloomy like the other days. Alexia opened her eyes slowly her pain had lessened a bit, she turned towards the open window and looked outside, the bright day made her remember her past days when she used to be an athlete, when she entered the field the audience would cheer for her, they would sing her name with love but then she lost everything when she was diagnosed with a disease that had no cure, the doctors told her that she had only two years left to live, her mother wasn't going to give up on her daughter that easily so she hired most specialized surgeons and medical experts to find a cure for her but it didn't do any good and worsened her health even more, now the only thing Alexia wanted was to die peacefully because she had lost her will to live, the pain that she suffered for the past 2 years were enough.

While she was lost in her thoughts there was a knock on the door, then the door opened and a bunch of people in black entered the room, a nurse walked to Alexia and greeted her

" how are you feeling today?" the nurse asked with a smile

"huh? Oh yeah I feel a little less pain then usual" she replied as positively as she could

"that's good to hear. Well let me give you a good news then, you have been discharged." The nurse said with a smiling face

The sentence got Alexia by surprise, because it was impossible for her to leave the hospital under her mothers supervision

" are ...are you sure?" Alexia questioned the nurse

" yes the chairwoman send for people to pick you up from the hospital. You will be going home." Nurse said in a polite way.

The words of the nurse made Alexia smile brightly, Alexia didn't believe that she was finally able to leave the hospital after two years, in these two years she was never able to go out or do anything on her own accord, her days went by getting experimented on and at nights she was given sedatives so her body could rest and she wouldn't feel the pain, all those were just efforts to keep her alive but that wasn't what she wished for the only thing she wanted was to spend her last days enjoying what was left of her life and now it finally came true…

The doctors entered the room for the usual checkup and saw Alexia smiling

" Miss Brown I think you already got the good news, huh?" (doctor) he walked towards the bed and placed his sheets on the side table and then looked at the nurse

"Sir I couldn't stop myself from telling her the news" the nurse looked down and blushed

"no problem I was just joking around" then he turned towards Alexia and before he could speak again Alexia interrupted him

"how long is it?" (Alexia)

"pardon?" (doctor)

"how many days .....tell me how long will I live?" (Alexia)

"...….." the doctor in the room looked at her blankly

"a month? ….half?....ten days...…you can tell me I won't be shocked….even if it's a day just tell me....?" (Alexia)

The doctor who was reluctant at first but then adjusted his expression and said

" three months, that's the maximum time limit….according to our analysis your organs will completely stop working in three months" doctor made a worried expression

"wow three months …..that's a lot of time….i will try living it to there fullest" even when her face showed a bright smile her inside were hurting like crazy, she knew that she wasn't going last more than a week but she didn't want to ruin the mood "so when am I leaving…?"

" in an hour.." the nurse replied

"oooh I am excited.." she was finally gong to be free after so long

A car stopped inside a luxurious mansion, the driver got off and walked towards the trunk and grew out a wheel chair, he moved it to the back seat and opened the door

"miss let me help you.." (driver)

"no I can do it on my own..i am not that weak" she hated it when people treated like a patient so she got out slowly of the car and took two steps before sitting on the wheel chair, then she moved it by herself and went towards the front door

"its been so long since I came back….." she looked around and said "I missed this place"

After moving inside she saw her house, and nothing had changed everything was just like it used to be, the butler helped her through the stairs and took her to her room, just when she was out of her room's door she asked the butler to leave her alone, when the butler was finally out of sight she moved her hand from the wheel chair and extended her had towards the door knob

Click...the door opened and she moved inside, the room was dark but she closed the door behind her and then switched on the lights, the wall that was right in front of her was filled with medals and certificates that she got from her competitions, some were from her school days when she was a top student of her class, she moved her wheelchair towards the wall, the memories of the past flushed into her mind as she recalled the cheers of the audience when she would take down her opponent, she was known as the best fighter of her days but now she was completely crippled and on her death bed, Alexia didn't realize that while she was thinking of past and how happy she used to be her eyes watered again and they streamed down her cheek….
