One week left to live (10/31)

“I am sorry Sandra but I have bad news, the test results said you have terminal cancer and you only have one week to live,” said Doctor Smith. Sandra looks at him for a second and immediately starts crying. How could this be happening to her? She was supposed to get married in a three weeks to the love of her life. What was she doing wrong all this time? The doctor starts talking some more but she wasn’t listening. Her mind went completely blank. Sandra pulls out her phone and calls her fiancé. He doesn’t answer so she leaves a message. Once she hangs up she starts walking out the hospital. The doctor chases after her but she manages to escape. She couldn’t be there one more second it was too depressing. The news she just received ruined her life.
Her phone starts ringing and it is her fiancé.
“Hello,” she answers trying to hold back her tears.
“I got your message sweetheart, I am so sorry. I left work as soon as I could and I am on my way to pick you up,” said Justin.
“Ok,” said Sandra. She hands up and waits patiently for him to get to the hospital. She forgot that her mother was supposed to pick her up whenever she got out of her appointment but she didn’t want to tell her mother the news, it would kill her. She just sends her a text telling her that Justin was going to pick her up and she didn’t need to worry about it.
An hour passed by and Justin finally pulls up to the pickup area and parks his car. He gets out of the car.
“Sorry I took so long baby I made a few quick stops before I came here,” said Justin.
“It’s ok I guess, where did you go,” asked Sandra.
“You’ll find out later, but for now just get in the car,” says Justin as he opened the door for Sandra. She doesn’t hesitate and does exactly what she is told. Sandra looks in the back of the car and notices that he had clothes packed in suitcases. She wondered what he was doing with all that.
“Where are we going Justin,” asked Sandra.
“You’ll see,” replied Justin. How could he have done it in such a short amount of time?
They have been riding in the car for hours; Sandra gets tired and ends up taking a nap. Justin finds the nearest rest stop to use the restroom. Before he gets out of the car he takes a second to stare at Sandra, the next few days he had left with her he was going to make sure it would be the best days of her life. He knew things would never be the same without her so he was going to make the best of it. Justin kissed her on the cheek and finally got out of the car to do what he had to do.
