Helpless
Star pov
I woke up with a mask over my face and my mother looking over me "Star? Move your fingers for me" I tried but I couldn't they were stiff and it hurt "I can't" I said weakly "Its okay, just rest" I had a seizure and I can't move my fingers or toes
"Okay" I nodded and watch her walk out, I started crying because it's getting worse and I think I might have to proceed with the surgery but I still don't want to risk it
"morning star, changing the bags..also your friends came to visit during your mini episode" I sat up slowly "Was Marco there?" She nods and sighs "Yeah along with a girl and Oskar I believe" they all came?
"Did he bring me the treats?" She nods "He came back late and dropped them off, here you go..also he's not coming today he has practice"
I sigh and nodded "Thanks Rachael, means a lot" she smiles and open the bag, the sweet aroma filling my senses "He knows me so well..well? On sweets I suppose"
as I try to open my hands it hurt but I opened them "Ouch.." my time is running short and I'm wasting time trying to be with Marco as much as possible but it's not working.
I looked through my phone and find a photo from almost a month ago, we went to a little party..we didn't really do anything rash execpt for drinking a few drinks..I remember he held my hand and pulled me towards the back and look up at the stars. Somehow he knew I need space and time to look up at the stars.
Looking back at it now I wished we spent more time at that party..we were so gone and reckless but yet we still kept to ourselves. I thought our first kiss was going to be there but I ended up passing out on your lap. I giggled and kept looking through until I found one
When we all went to the beach. I couldn't really swim so you kept me company in the sand so we talked and took pictures. This one though was my favorite, you kept your base at the sun and water as the wind brushes by your face. I blush everytime I see you like this but I hated how you never took that red hoodie of even if it was 90 degrees.
I giggle to myself and turn my phone off and pull myself off my bed and look out the window but I know it's a trip since I can't reall stand well on my legs. "I got this" I took a deep breath and landed on my wheelchair which was better. I rolled over the window but I was fell a little short and can't see the window.
I groan and decided to roam the hospital. As i get to the main lobby I see the front desk "Hey star, aren't you supposed to be in bed?" "Kyle don't rat me out. Let me live" he chuckles and nods "Alright princess, careful now don't want you going back into a seizure" I nodded "I know..later kyle"
I kept rolling until I had a clear view of the outside, people walking on the sidewalks and entering the building "I miss being out there" I put my hand on the glass as a tear rolled down my cheek.
"Why you crying?" I wiped my eyes and see a little girl in a hospital gown covered in hearts "Oh..I want to be out there again" she smiles and grabs my hand "I can take you?" I smirked "That's kind but I can't stand really well..I could fall" she giggles "I can push you..and take you to the garden" a garden? I didn't know we even had that here "Really?"
She nods and starts pushing me "What's your name?" "Eliza" what a pretty name "What a pretty name, I'm Star" her eyes widen "Like the stars in the night sky?" I giggled "Yeah just like that" "I like your name..it's pretty" I smiled and she managed to push me to the gardens, as we enter there is no one there, it's full of flowers and a small fountain
"I've never been here and I've been here for a month" she sits on the fountain and I managed to sit beside her "Really? I'm always here..it keeps me calm" I looked at the girl, her skin was pale and her hair was buzzed cut. "Why are you here? If you mind telling me?" "I have lung cancer..so I run out of breath sometimes"
I wanted to cry because she reminded me of my younger self, so healthy and full of energy and then be struck with sad news "I'm sorry Eliza, hope you make it" she nods "I know everyone does..what about you? Your arms looked like they've been sucked dry"
I looked down at my arms see dark purple marks and my veins popping out. I looked creepy kind of think of it
"Yeah..I have Efferent which is a motor condition..I lose control or balance in my hands and legs" she sighs "You lived longer.."
I shake my head "I've lived longer yes but I'm running out of time..it's getting worse and I need surgery but I could die in the process" her eyes widen and held on my hand "So your living a little while longer?" I nodded "You can say that..yes I am" she smirks "Is it for someone?"
I raised a brow "What do you mean?" "Like your trying to be here for your parents? Friends? Someone special?" I blushed "Yeah basically all 3.." she giggles "Is your special someone cute?" I nodded
"Very cute..I might introduce you to him when he visits" she nods "Please do..I would like to meet someone besides my parents and the doctors" I laughed and nodded "Sure"
After spending the whole day with Eliza I went back to my room and got ready for bed well my usual routine, cry..look towards the window and finally fall asleep.
Tonight was slightly different, I didn't cry I just thought of the little girl and how brave she is and think about stargazing with Marco and having that wonderful kiss again.
My feelings for him are growing more and more and I just don't want to hurt him anymore then I already am. Please let me feel better for another year or so? That's all I ask from you..
