Will to Live Part One

Another One-Shot
Two Parts
Enjoy (:

Sick. Confined to a hospital bed; that's how I've been for as long as I can remember. Now that I'm onlder I understand that there is this whole big world outside of the hospital's white walls and I would do anything to find out what it is.
"Happy Birthday!" My mom and dad room into my room with baloons and presents. Today, I turn sixteen. My birthday, a day I've dreaded again for as long as I can remember. This day each year marks how incredible it is that I've made it this long. It's another 365 days I've been suffering. This day is just more pain for me and there's no reason why I would want to celebrate. Well, I guess there is one reason. My parents. With all they go through with me I guess I can stand to fake a smile and pretend like I'm the happiest kid on the face of the earth for a few hours.
I laugh, I joke, I smle bright using the acting skills I've aquired over the ears trying to convince everyone that I'm fine. I send my parents to go get something to eat and I ask the nurse to bring me down the rec room. She helps me into a whell chair and we get my machines together. The halls of the hospital go by fast. Everyone smiles at me and wishes me a happy birthday. It's sad to say I consider this place my home. At one time I had a home, away from this place, but then I get very sick and when your that sick your sentanced to a life time of hospital time. In the years I've been here I've seen so many good people come and go. Hospital connections last a life time; as long as your life time may last.
"Look!" My nurse whisper points to the boy in the rec room. It's him! The guy I've been looking at for what seems like forever. I smile up at her and she rolls me into the room. There he is, sitting at a table with all his beauty. Sketch pad open, like always, an artist he will always be. My nurse leaves me and here is my shot.
"Hi. Can I sit with you?" A timid voice comes from my little body. He looks up from his sketch pad and gives me a once over. My pail scrawny body is covered with over sized sweats. My curly natural bleach blonde hair is flat from bed, but my blue eyes were sparkling. He gives me a perfect crystal white smile and pulls out the chair next to him.
"Sure that would be nice." I grab my notebook and set it on the table. I use the table ledge to help me up, he grabs my hand and helps me sit.
"What's in there?" He points to my notebook. I open it and let him see inside my world. Words that over flow each page with meanings that go so deep down. He flips page by page discussing things that catch his eye.
"I really like this one: As my heart beat slows I need to remember what living life is for. What does it mean?" I close my eyes and t hink back to when I wrote that.
"It was a Tuesday. The sky was dark, even in the late afternoon and it was raining. I sat up on the ledge of the window and watched the water fall from the grey sky. I sat there and just thought what is the reason to have a life if I never get to live it." He sits there with a perplexed look on his face thinking it all over.
"I was at that place once. I completlely stopped taking my meds, as if to just stop my body and set me free. As you can see it didn't really work, just made me suffer more. I think we all live to find love. Find that one person that completes you." His eyes lock with mine and we skip a beat foregetting everything, but eacother.
Times flies by and our nurses come back. I am amazed by how much I have learned about him. I am completely on cloud nine when he asks me to hang out again tomorrow he smiles at me again and walks out with his nurse.
Back in my room I grab my new journal and write down the words that are racing through my mind. Remembering his story, the connection we made. There is something very special about this boy.
