Flashforward.

A dream?
Hey, you've heard of flashbacks right? Well, i have flashforwards. Simple equation; Flashback = past : Flashforward = future. Get it?

On with the story!

(It's kinda cut off)

I said to you, "The sheep is for the innocence, the brown bear is for childhood, the white bear is for friends and the apple is for kindness..."
"On my bed... There they lay. Take them as the only reminiscence of me."

I remember...

My head was spinning. My vision was blurry. I could barely breathe.
I saw 2 people. They were wearing white. I was in the back of an ambulance. The siren was ringing in my ears. I grit my teeth from the pain. It was unbearable. Intolerable.

I was wondering, what was i doing there. I got carried out and into the hospital on a stretcher.
Through the halls i saw a sign.
I was headed for the ER.
I still didn't know why.
Later, i was put under the lights.
The doctor gave me an oxygen mask.

Everything else was a blur...

[Days later]

I was admitted into a ward.
You always visited me. Everyday.
You came only after my parents leave.
Then, one day, the doctor came in just when my parents had left.
But you were there.
The doctor proceeded to telling you my condition.

I pretended to be asleep.
I heard the doctor tell you, "I'm sorry... I'm afraid there's no hope for her now. Her condition is terminal. She was admitted to the hospital a little too late."
I opened my eyes. They looked at me.
I told the doctor not to tell my parents.
He said that he'd have to sooner or later.
Then, you sank down into a chair.
Your face was buried in you hands.

I smiled when the doctor told me i was going to die.
That was the only thing i could do.
I looked at you.
I tried to get out of bed with the doctor's help.
I knelt in front of you, hugged you, and said, "There was nothing you or anyone else could've done to stop this."

I asked the doctor how long i had left.
A week he replies solemnly.

[The following week]

You MC-ed from work just so you could stay visit me.
You would tell me jokes to cheer me up.
Let me play your PSP, even.
You'd just make sure i had somebody to talk to.

Then, 1 night, you fell asleep on my bedside.
I woke up in the middle of the night and i saw you.
I cried silent tears.
I stroked your head.
And went back to sleep.

[Final day]

At last, it was my last day. My condition was at it's worse.

My family and some of my friends came to visit. Including you.
I asked everybody to wait outside but you.
I had to tell you something important.

I held your hand and i said,
"I'm glad to have had you for a friend..."
Then, my heart stopped beating.
You stared back in disbelief.
You shouted for my family and doctors to come in.
My parents rushed in crying.
My friends didn't know how to react.
The doctors frantically tried to save me even though they knew i couldn't be saved.
And you...
You leaned against the wall.

[My funeral]

You didn't come to my funeral.

Everybody else was there.
My friends, my family.
The people who knew me.

Well, everybody but you that is.
You were at home.
You couldn't bear the fact that i was gone for good.
You stared at the ceiling for hours.
Just thinking and wishing it weren't real.

After the whole ceremony, i was buried deep in the ground.

[Days after]

Everyday after, you came to visit my grave.
You would talk to me as if i were still alive.
As if i were in front of you that very minute.

And i watched you from above.
I cried seeing you there.

I also saw you cry 1 day, while you were visiting my grave.
You said, "I will never ever forget you. Thank you for being my friend too."

[The next day]

My parents were clearing out my stuff.
You came.

(Remember the sheep, bears and the apple?)

You were going to pay your respects.

Then, you saw in one box marked "Her belongings".
You peered into it.
You saw my plush toys.
An apple, a brown bear, a white bear and a sheep.
You asked whether you could keep them.

My parents were speechless at first.
But miraculously they said yes.

[That night]


That same day, at night, you were sitting at your desk.
Looking at my toys.
You felt this enormous amount of sadness from within.
You began to tear-up.
You stood up and looked out your window.

I couldn't bear to see you like that.

And for a short moment i appeared in front of you.
I gave you 1 last hug and tell you what you've always told me.
"Smile and the world smiles back at you..."



And then i depart to the afterlife.

Since then, i've been watching you from far above.

-END-

So, what do you think?
I think i was dying from kidney failure.
Nope. They didn't have fitting kidneys for me. =P
PS: i might use this for my oral test so no stealing. =X

Reduxion.
