add on to this

i'll begin a story everyone and anyone can add to this. have fun with it. :D and be as creative as you want.

 

sitting in my room praying that this wouldnt happen again. the expeirence was awful. my hair had allready begun to fall out. the kemo wasnt working. thats why the doctor wanted to talk to mom. and the reason she'd been crying when i looked out the window. my life was crumbling slowly. i've prayed and prayed a miricle would happen soon. Hes been there for me countless times before. i wanted so badly to ask 'why lord' but mom forbid me. she told me 'sweetie theres a reason for every thing'. my friends no longer want to hang out with me. my best friend just left for dallas, could'nt things be any worse? my faith was slowly derteriorating. and soon so would i. the dread of death was slowly weight on my mind..............

sighing, i hug my legs closer to my chest and feel my eyes grow hot with tears. my scraf had fallen off some time before, and it now drapes my left shoulder. through my blurred vision i try to trace the delicate patterns that had once adorned my mother and grandmother. after some time i finally reach over, pick it up, and retie it, careful not to pull too tight.

taking a deep breathe, i reach out, turn on my lamp, and picked up a pencil, determined to write something. as the lead touched the white paper, a calmness descended on me that i later could never fully explain, and i began to write.

...Scared. That's what I'm feeling. I kow God is with me, but it's so hard to stay strong in faith, when all of this is happening. I also feel abandoned. Not by God, but by my friends. They left, when I needed them the most. Maybe they were scared too? I don't know. Only God knows. I have to keep telling myself that he knows best, and most of the time it helps. I pray that a miracle will happen. I don't care how big or small, I just need to see a miracle.

I stop writing, and look back out the window. This summer day is bright, and warm. Not even aware that I'm sick. It's like the world doesn't care, it just goes on with what it's suposed to do. Just like I have to keep believing for a miracle. Mom told me once, that miracles aren't always in the shape of a miracle. Sometimes it can be a person, an animal or even a letter. So I have to keep my eyes open, and believe for whatever miracle God has for me.

the phone rings. it takes me a second to register that, and a few more to realize that i've no clue where my cell went to. the constant buzz continues as i wander about my room trying to hone in on it. after the 5th ring, i seize it (underneath my jesus freak 2002 sweatshirt), and answer it as i sit down on the floor and lean my head against my bed. anticipation bringing me back some strength.

"afternoon. jf speaking" i answer playfully, a smile playing over my lips

no one answers.

"hey, don stop playing. i'm so glad you called."

silence

"hello?"

"hello" murmurs a soft voice. "is jess here?"

i cringe for a bit, and just start at my ceiling while i answer in a monotone voice.

"er, wrong number."

"isn't this 432-8380" the voice responds, in a pleading fashion. my fingers grip the phone tighter... out of anger, out of fear, exapperation

"no, wrong number" a stranger can find my number, but friends can't remember? the injustice of it all... i fume.

"but..." and the voice goes silent. the agony of this person is palitable even in that one word. i look up, but this time not at the ceiling, and make myself comfortable.

"there's no jess here but maybe i can help"

"well, i wasnt anticipating not speaking with jess so if you could tell her i called". He said. by now he should have realized that this was the person he was supposed to be talking to.
"i'll have her call you, bye". i said and as quickly as one could hung up the phone. How is it that my friends can desert me after all of our years of bonding. i still cant understand why they just up and stoped calling. Mom gave this lame reason for them. she said ' maybe they think you need time alone' yeah or maybe they just arent my friends. now more than ever do i need some one to lean on or a soulder to cry on.

' lord' i continued to write ' i know that ever since i recieved the news all i've done is question and plee....... i just want to thank you for blessing me with a family who cares. and i pray thta if it is in your will please send me someone i can confide in' and with that i laid my head down on the floor with a cover i pulled off the bed and stared at the clouds out side my window untill they seemed to disapear into a whirlwind of darkness.................i awoke to the ringing of my phone on the floor beside me.
"hello"i spoke grogilly
"yeah, is the jess there"..........................................

" hi, my name is Aaron" slowly the voice registered in my mind. what was i doing. i was not supposed to answer the phone.
" well, what do you want" i asked rudely. not wanting to talk to anyone.
" i just wanted to talk to you. the doctors here told me that there was another person in the same situation as me. i just wanted to talk to you. i thought that maybe we could counsel each other. you know, be each others shoulders. we are both having to endure the same thing"
i was absolutly stunned. i never thought of anything like this happining. i never imagined that if i asked for something he'd send such a reply in such short notice. " than, thanks" i stuttered out. maybe this wouldnt be so hard.

" so do you want to meet somewhere, or i could come meet you or something" i said sitting up on the bed. i looked at the clock it was about 12 oclock noon. the sun was shining.........

a smile slowly crept on to my face "yeah, that might work. meet me at the park in twenty minutes"thank you lord, i said as i hung up the phone. i had get ready................

he came to my door. knocked and waited. i watch him for a few minutes then realized i couldnt just sit here and stair at him. he was about 6'2 very handsom. about my age and he wore the famous hat.
"hi" i said as i opened the door.
"hey, nice hat" he laughed
"yeah, like yours is any better" i commented as i closed the door.
"we have two choices, we can either go to the park or stay here outside on the porch" i really wanted to go out, i'd been in the house all day...........

He grinned. "You read my mind." He held out his arm. I took it, feeling a tingling sensation. "You know, I'm really glad to be able to do this. When I got sick, all my friends just seemed to disappear. I've been needing someone I can relate to, for a long time." He said, his eyes misty with joy. A wonderful feeling washed over me. Being needed. How long had it been since I'd felt like I could help somebody else? There was always doctors and nurses hovering over me, family members calling and visiting. It felt so great to be needed by another person. I smiled up at him, happy for the first time in a long while.

at the park we sat and talked about everything we could think of from diapers to scared knees. I was really glad to have someone to finally talk to. i might as well tell him how i felt.
" um. i just wanted to say that i really apreciate your friendship. most of my friends left when they heard of my condition." i said. " i just wanted to let you know that you mean more to me than any friend i've every had." i looked at him awaiting his response.
with out me even aware of it, he leaned in and kissed my cheek
" and you are my angel"
" ive been serching for what seems like forever to find a friend. your an answer to my prayer'.
