Chapter one

 


As usual Mandy was lying in her bed listening to her favorite song. For her age she is a little shy, but that's not surprising because she never met many people in her live. While listening to the music she watched the night through one of the open windows. Like so often before sleep wouldn't come. So she got up and went over to the window. As she was watching the sky, she could see a shoting star and made a secret wish.

The next morning she woke up, from the sunlight touching her face. She got up and dressed before she made her way to get some breakfast. After breakfast she went back to her room and watched a little bit TV since it was Saturday and there was nothing else to do for her. She watched TV till it become boring and she went to surf a bit through the net. She always loved the net because it's a place, where she is able to talk to people without telling them everything of her life. And she really enjoyed this because she hadn't to answer all these questions.

While she was chatting with her friend from the states, her doc entered the room.

She turned the computer off and turned to face him. Already having a feeling what he was about to say.

While he was saying these last words, she could clearly see forming tears in his eyes. She knew it was hard to say these words for him, because she knew that during the last two years, she has been like the daughter he had never had two him.

After he had gone, she turned on the radio and walked over to the window and watched the people on the street. There she saw a little girl, who was running into the arms of her mom and she hold it tight. By this sight a single tear made his way down her check. She always wanted to become a mom herself one day. But now she was really afraid that it would never be able to happen. And then another tear escaped from her eyes. But it wasn't because she was afraid to die or of the death. She had done a lot of thinking about this and had come to the result that everybody had to die one day. She just wanted it to happen so soon. Because she had set herself so many goals for her future which she wanted to achieve. And now she'll maybe never be able to reach them. She was about to break into tears, when her fave song was played on the radio. Like always it helped her to remember herself to never give up on hope and so she became calm again.

After the song was over, she took a short nap. In her dreams she forgot about her illness and had beautiful adventures. This time she had her favorite dream, where she was swimming with dolphins and could understand them without any problems.

When her doc came back a few hours later he found her sleeping and smiled to himself. After watching her a few moments sleeping, he prayed to God that she would make it through. Before he quietly closed the door and left
