Christy walked into Mary's room...the stench were kinda offensive,but that's the stench you get from an hospital.
It felt so weird that she's in an hospital after the incident with her parents...She swallowed hard as she continued to scan the room.
There was an intravenous Injection {IV} on Mary's wrist,she laid there with her eyes closed and a book that says"WHAT TO DO IN YOUR LAST MOMENTS"on her chest...
Trip stood besides Christy staring at the little girl on the hospital bed,and a memory flashed at him....
He has been in this situation before,he could hear police sirens,Cries and yelling..The heart monitor making a straight beep sound indicating that someone has just died.....
It was a little girl on an hospital bed,he remembered it ..was it a dream or what?..
His body twitched a little causing him to hit the tray with drugs on it,and Mary woke up...
"Hiii"She said lowly...
"Hi"Christy waved at her "I am so sorry for disturbing your sleep"
She pressed the button beside her causing her bed to adjust to a sitting position"I was awake,I noticed you guys when you came in"Her gaze shifted to Trip....
"Your boyfriend is looking like he hasn't seen someone on their death bed before"
It was only when Mary said that,that was when Trip realized that he was sweating in an air conditioned room..Cold sweat broke on his face...
Why was he feeling uneasy?
Who was the little girl he saw??
Maybe coming to the hospital was a bad idea.
Christy stared at him,And she noticed his face looked somewhat bothered and pale.But he was fine few minutes ago...what went wrong???"He is not my...."She couldn't complete it because she noticed Trip was acting weird...
"Trip,Are you okay??"She asked worriedly.
He staggered to the door"I gotta...I....I...I need some air"He stammered.He couldn't even turn the door knob,his hands were shaking and sweaty...
She walked to him and placed her hand on the hand on the door knob"Is everything okay?"She asked again
He couldn't meet her gaze"I am downstairs...meet me when you are done"And with that he left
Mary watched what happened with Trip and her emotion deteriorated..Everyone acts like that,they all avoid her as though tumor was contagious.
Christy could see the thoughts she had with her facial expressions "No,No he is not avoiding you.....he just took a lot of cappuccino before coming here"She giggled trying to ease Mary up a little..
"My name is Christy..."She sat beside Mary's bed.If she wanted to convince the girl to get the surgery done,she has to start with a more friendlier approach
"I don't need to tell you my name,I guess you already know"She spoke sternly...
When Christy and Trip walked in,She knew they were here to convince her to perform the surgery,and she would directly tell them that she doesn't want it.
After seeing the way Patty died,she didn't want to ever die like that.
Christy could sense Mary's thought,she knew trying to convince her to perform the surgery would be very hard,but there was no harm in trying.She tried to touch Mary's hand,but she drifted away.
The space between the chair Christy sat on and Mary's bed wasn't that large..She was facing Mary with the softest face she could ever make,but the wall Mary created was very strong..and it reminded her of her little sister Jasmine...
How did Jasmine die??
She couldn't even remember...she lost her kid sister,she wasn't going to lose this precious little girl.
"You know Surgeries aren't that bad"She asked positively.
"If you are here to tell me to perform the surgery,I am sorry but you can please leave"She covered her ears with her hand and shut her eyes"I am tired of people staring at me as though Tumor is contagious,I am tired of people convincing me to do the surgery when there is a high chance of me dying on that bed..I know am going to die,but it's in 3months time...I don't want to draw my death day closer"She said sternly.
Christy stared at her,not saying anything..after a long time,she has to perform the elder sister role..
She softly removed one hand on her ears and stared at the crimson eyes softly"You don't have to do the surgery if you don't want to"Christy said with a beaming smile.
Mary was shocked,wasn't she here to convince her to undergo the surgery....what is going on??
"Yeah,you heard me"She smiled
"Were'nt you here to convince me to have the surgery"Mary asked surprised...
"Wanna go out for some fresh air?...I hate the smell here"
Mary stared at her shocked,wasn't she here to convince her??What is going on?Overwhelmed by Christy's suggestion,Mary couldn't hide her excitement..she quickly dressed herself up and transferred her drip on a pole that she could roll with her while she sat on the wheel chair.
It's been long since she stepped out for some fresh air...She smiled brightly and took Christy's hand.

~Alicia's office~
Anna glanced at the man sitting beside Alicia and she wanted to scream with excitement...it was Brian Turker...she had never seen him in real life before,she was a fan of his,and all his song were downloaded on her phone...
Brian Turker is an American-Canadian Artist..he is a 3times Grammy award winner and most of his song had a feature of Nicki Minaj,King Von,The Migos,Megan thee stallion etc..
He is an handsome and influential person...no one perks fame the way Brian did and still do.
His eyes were on Alicia as she spoke..he sat there not saying anything,he only smiled and nodded,She took her phone out and took a picture of him.She wanted to just stand there and admire him,but Ernest didn't have all day for that....he made their presence known to Alicia who smiled brightly when she saw Anna...
"So she is the one I was talking about"Alicia asked Anna to come closer and sit with them...
She was so excited that she quickly covered her mouth with her hand and tiptoed to sit beside Alicia.
"So she is going to be female lead in your song,what do you think?"Alicia asked Brian
Brian pressed his back on his chair and stared at Anna.There was no emotion on his face,his face was blank..he smiled dimly at her"She is not that bad...but Don't you think she's too young?"He asked.
"Young?"Alicia didn't even ask Anna about her age before she suggested she became a vixen in Brian's video.She didn't want people think she pushes young girls into doing what they are underaged for"Brian,you are 26 right??"
He replied with a nod.
"Anna how old are you?"
"I am 23"She spoke softly
Alicia glanced back at Brian "See,it's just 3years gap...she's just going to be a vixen...not like I'm asking you to sleep with her"She laughed...
Brian laughed also "Did I make it sound that way??....my bad then"
He stared at Anna and noticed the way she was behaving...she is fan,he could sense it"You are fan right??,Relax I don't bite"
She wanted to tell me how much she loves his song,how his videos are the first thing she watches every morning when she wakes up,and every night when she sleeps.
But she can't say all that because her first impression matters..
"Yes I am"
"Okay,this is how it goes...you will be a vixen in my song Falling...but don't You worry,we won't kiss or do anything unholy..you'd just dance and smile and do vixen stuffs"He passed his tablet over to her,to give her a hint of what he was saying
"This is what I want you to do"he told her...
She watched the video and imagined she and Brian recreating all of it....This was more than she asked for...
This is a dream come true!!...she screamed it in her mind.

≈Trip in his Car≈
Overwhelmed by the image that flashed in his mind,he rested his head on the steering wheel....Who was the girl he remembered?He didn't know if it was a dream or if it was a memory buried in his mind...
Who died??
Who was crying??
Who yelled"What have done?,Look what you've done"
Who??
What are these memories??
For as long as he can remember, none of his relative have died in the few years..So was the one on the bed when the heart monitor made that beep sound...Was it because he is in the hospital that's why this was happening..
He opened a cabinet in his car and took two pills out of the relaxant pills.He didn't know why his parents gave him this,but at least it came in handy

Christy pushed Mary's wheel chair to the rooftop of the hospital.The wind was cool and the sunlight was pale,making the weather perfect for a picnic..
She needed some fresh air herself,maybe suggesting that they come out wasn't such a bad idea after all.
"So what's your boyfriend name?"Mary asked after putting her wheelchair to a halt.
"His name is Trip,but he's not my boyfriend"She replied her while packing her hair into a ponytail
Mary adjusted the drip beside her"But you like him"
Christy glanced at her"Yes,I like him"
Mary giggled"Why don't you tell him?,Why don't you date him??...Tomorrow might start without you,or tomorrow you might get a devasting news that might make you not have the chance to let him know"
"Well,That's because he's a playboy and I don't want to get heartbroken"She said staring at the sky.
Was that really it?,or was she afraid of opening up to him??
"You know all playboy really fall in love you know....there's this boy Mitchell liked,and he was a play boy so Mitchell was scared of opening up to him,but he wasn't that bad after she started dating him"
Christy crouched in front of her"Oh really??...How old is Mitchell?"
"Mitchell is only 17"She turned to her side acting as though someone was eaves dropping on their conversation "I don't want anyone to know Mitchell has a boyfriend"
Christy imitated zipping her mouth "My lips are sealed"
Mary relaxed in the wheel chair"Honestly I think it's best you date him..give it a trail"
"Are you going to give the surgery a trail?"
Mary's hands curled up to a ball,and her knuckles turned pale,half of her face twitched with fear..
Christy noticed that and touched her knuckles"The surgery won't kill,I promise...and to make it less scary I will be in there with you"
When she heard Christy say that,her facial expression brightened"Is that a promise?"
"I promise"

"So...Alicia told me all about you,and I won't lie....you are impressive"Brian spoke up after sipping his coffee"So are you cool with what I showed you??"
Was she cool with what he showed her??,She was more than cool...she was flabbergasted.She and Brian would be so close,only a pic of him with her can push up her followers
"It is really okay by me"She smiled
"Alright then...sign here...here.... and here"Alicia said to Anna"Read it carefully before you sign....And before you go,write down your account number for me and I'd do you your cash price"
She signed it after reading it carefully,and in less than 3minutes some money was transferred into her account...
"Alright then,you can come back tomorrow...we'd start shooting the video tomorrow"Alicia said to her with a smile....
Oh how she wanted to stay her longer...but not to worry,tomorrow she'd have all the time to be close to Brian...

Mrs.Matt was so happy when she heard that her baby girl agreed to get the surgery done.She quickly signed the form and they prepared Mary for the surgery.
Well the surgery would be tomorrow,Mrs.Matt prayed for the surgery to go successfully.....She wouldn't lose her baby girl
"So I'd be here tomorrow"Christy smiled at her and patted her head
"Come with your boyfriend"She giggled like the 16years old she was..
Her parents stood there watching Christy and Mary,they were so grateful to her for convincing their baby girl to perform the surgery....and if she said she will be in the operating room with Mary,they'd gladly accept it.
Christy looked at the both of them,she could see the tension and fear on their faces "You don't need worry,everything will turn out fine...I promise"
"Thank you for everything"Mr.Paul Matt said as he patted her knuckles
"Its nothing sir,It's nothing"She smiled at them
"She has to go mummy,her boyfriend has been waiting for her downstairs for over 3hours now....we don't want to keep him waiting do we?"Mary spoke up..She knew her parent are very fond of making pleasantry messages very long...and she didn't want to stress Christy out today.
She needs to go home and rest,because she Is going to be inside that operating room with her,and like what the surgeon said,the surgery might take all day.....
After tomorrow she'd know her fate...
She was fucking scared...For a slight moment,she didn't want to die.
