Chapter one:Past life and now

Kates's perspective.....

It was late afternoon,still in this boring hospital bed.I've been here for two months now. I'm in the hospital for a heart condition. I need a new heart because mine is too broken. I'm  16 years old today. Today is my birthday. I'm very excited to video chat my best and only friend Chris I've never met him in real life but we video chat twice a week but we mostly just text. When I was 14 I was diagnosed with heart cancer,i knew i had bad history with heart diseases and heart failure but I never thought I would of ended up having heart cancer. Unfortunately for me my mom pasted away two months after me being diagnosed with heart cancer. She died in a car crash her heart failed. My dad, I never knew my dad he left when I was only 2 years old,mom never told me why,I ha a little sister she was born 2 years ago when I was only 14 as well this was before i was diagnosed before mother had died,my sister was kidnapped and they found her body in the river 3 days after I was diagnosed. I'm on my own before I was hospitalized because if my heart condition becoming worse I was bullied and tortured for not wearing good expensive clothing or having an outgoing personality,I was an outsider. Still am.

It is now time for dinner, I got; tomatoe soup,potatoes,garlic bread,and orange juice. People say hospital food is disgusting but to be frankly honest I don't mind the food here in the hospital.

Finally while eating Chris video calls me I go over and answer with my food on the side.

"Hey kate, happy birthday!"Chris says

"Thank you" I say

"What have u and ur family have done so far?"chris asks

In good at acting and creating stories he doesn't know about my condition or that I don't have a family and all that

"We went skiing,had cake and went to a nice restaurant,they even had the best desserts ever,rn we are visiting my grandma in the hospital,she's in the bathroom rn that is why I'm in the hospital room rn,my family went to go get some of my painting I made for her and such,so that is why I'm in a hospital room if u were going to ask" I said I usually make it where it looks like my bedroom in here but today I couldn't cause I had to wash all of my clothes and sheets and I had to move rooms.

"Well that sound amazing,why is ur grandma in the hospital for?"Chris asks

"She is getting a hip replacement,u know how old she is,she is fragil"i say

I told him before that she was 78 years old and such

"Sorry to hear that I hope it goes well for her"chris says

I really like him a lot more than just a friend,he is my crush.

He is everything I could of asked for,I just don't want to ruin anything.

"So chris,how was work?"I asked

"Fun I got to design and make a long board today,I wish u could of seen it,why don't we hangout I've been dying to meet u in person it would be so much fun"he says

"Idk I'll have to ask my parents first they are still on edge,I'll text u tomorrow if I can or not okay,but I gtg sorry It wasn't long of a talk but u know I have to spend time with my old grandma before time runs out and u know how she is when it comes to technology and all"i say with a smile on my face

"Yeah yeah I know text me tomorrow I really hope they say yes,goodnight kate"he says

"Goodnight chris"i say then we both log off I make sure it is completely turned off and put away and more.

I wish I didn't have to lie to him and more but it is easier this way and better in reasons like if he were to know he might leave and things will be ruined and that I can make up a world with him with my life I never had before.

Before my mom was always working and my sister was always with her friends or something while I was alone cleaning and such.

At least he won't see my messed up life and broken heart.

He gets the fun world and happy me not the real me.

The real me is not what nobody would want and more.

Idk if I should go and meet him in person I've been always too scared of it like I've only know him for a little over a month and I can use a good excuse to not go.

And plus no way in hell the doctors and nurses would let me.

So tomorrow I'll have to lie to him and say I can't cause I have practice or something like that. I'll figure it out tomorrow.

I wish I was normal,I wish I had the life I created with him and more. But I don't.

It sucks having the life I have. At least now I can pretend to have the normal life and family and more than to have to deal with reality with him.

He is all I have.

Finally after eating,I take a shower get into my pajamas and head to bed goodnight.
