The Summer
Bucket
List.
Chapter 1.
Beth's POV
I scurried down the white, heavily
disinfected halls of the hospital, hurriedly rushing past
stretchers and nurses with blue, plastic masks. I breathed
a sigh of relief as I finally reached the food court, I was
glad to be away from all the pain and tears, the broken
hearts of the family and loved ones of people who had
passed away. I didn’t like hospitals, they
brought back to many horrible memories.
I clutched the hand of my father as he whispered one
last thing into my ear.
“Look after your mother, Beth, stay strong. You
can achieve anything you want if you put your mind to it,
Beth, I know you can”
Tears streamed down my face as I pressed my head into
his chest. My hand gripped his, waiting for it to
loosen.
“I love you Daddy”
I mentally punched myself,
No, I was not going to let myself remember that, not
today.
Even after 3 years I still couldn’t let it go.
Weak.
My mind filled with different thoughts and memories of
hospitals until I finally reached the food stand.
Now, Uh, what did she want? A hotdog?
A tall, skinny waitress came to serve me and I gave her my
order,
and rested my body up against a tall, pillar like pole.
“Here you go sweetheart”
Her bony, pale fingers handed me my food,
And I clumsily fumbled around in my pocket for change.
“Uh, here”
I thrust the money at the girl and shuffled off with my
tray,
The crowd around there was too big, it was making me feel
sick.
After a while I came to a long, narrow hallway. It had the
unmistakable smell of vomit crossed with a disinfectant of
some sort. I scrunched up my nose and studied the sign,
Ward 3 North- Yeah, this was it.
As I proceeded down the horrible isle,
I found my mind wandering,
Focus Beth. I told myself, as the horrid smells of blood
and chemicals filled my head.
Wow, I was getting a little dizzy, well, A lot dizzy.
My head was spinning rapidly, and the last thing I saw was
the worried face of a young boy,
As I slowly fell into his chest.
