Early The Next Morning
Melissa's View
I
woke up the next day tired and really worn down. This was the first time
I felt this way since I came here. I knew that I had to take it easy, but
you can't when you are living out your dream. It has all come true so
fast, and I am going to cry my eyes out. Being sick ends your life has
you know it, and kmowing theres no cure for it, begins to eat you up inside as
the days and months go on. Not knowing if you are going to wake up the
next day, or live to see the end of another. Its not kmowing that kills
me on the inside. It also scares me not to know what will happen after I
die. Is there an after life? Is there a heaven? Will I see my
family again? All those things have been running though my mind like a
train that keeps on going. The fear never leaves me, and will always be
with me till the day I die.
"Melissa come on, wake up," I heard Andrea say pounding on my
door. I looked over at the clock and saw it was a quarter till noon.
"I am up! Geesh let me get dressed before you decide to plan the
day," I yelled out to her throught the closed door. I heard
her run downstairs. I decided to take a shower and get dressed.

Andrea's View
"Hey
Nick! Can we go to MGM today or something?" I asked completely
forgetting about last night and pushing aside my personal feelings.
"Its your turn to choose isn't it?" He asked looking up from
the computer. I giggled at how he said that.
"Yep! I am feeling better and ready to go, don't worry about
me," I said walking out of his study and into the living room.
"Is she bugging you about what we are doing today?" Melissa
asked coming into the room. I giggled again at how they were reacting to
my idea.
"Yep she wants to go to MGM studios, but I thought you two would want a
break from the big day yesterday," Nick said sitting down on the
oouch and looking at the both of us.
"Nick! We don't have but a week left of this," Melissa
said giving into my idea. Nick gave up and we got set to go. We got
into the car for the 90 minute drive there. I was so excited and couldn't
wait to go. Melissa and Nick talked like they were fighting the full way
there. He drives awfully fast and we passed three police officers before
he slowed down. We finally got there after many arguments and almost
getting caught speeding.
"Ok what do you two want to go on first?" Nick asked handing us
the park map. Melissa and I looked over the assortment of rides and
decided on one of them.
"Star Wars," We both said in unison. Nick groaned at us
when we said that.
"What is your problem with that ride?" Melissa asked as we
headed over to get in line.
"Its a stimulation ride. I thought you guys would go on the rollar
coaster one," He said as we got to where the line stopped.
There weren't that many people at the park because of the cloudy skies and
it was suppose to rain. The temperature was the coolest its been here
since we got here. I was getting home sick was looking forward to going
home next week. I was going to miss Nick so much, but I was ready to go.
This has been the best trip of my life, and I hope and pray that it won't
be mine or Melissa's last.
Nick's View
I
watched both girls get all excited over a stupid ride. I have been here
so many times that I didn't really care for any of the rides except the rollar
coaster. But its their choice and when they see hpw dumb some of the
rides are, they will realize that this was a bad place to choose to come.
The last day they are here,, I have the choice to where we are going, and
I know that they will have a blast. Its going to suck when they go back,
especially Melissa. Its like waiting for a bomb to go off not knowing if
today is her last day. Andrea is the same way. I wish they find a
cure for both dieases and that they both be back to normal, but I know thats a
long shot. But I am going to make these next 7 days some of the best they
have ever had.
