Here we go.

Hello.

So do you have any ideas before I put up mine? And what kinds do you usually like to do?

I have a few but you can share yours first.

Kinds? Um I don't know, all I guess..

Alright well the one I have is sort of sad like I said.

Um....

This girl and this guy have been best friends since they met in middle school and on. Even after she started to get really sick and couldn't walk anymore. He helps her out and knows pretty much exactly what to do and how to help her when she needs it. He's somewhat of a clown most days and that's mostly to keep her spirits up and keep her from thinking about what's happening to her. Especially when one day she has to be taken to the hospital after passing out and is told that her disease has progressed.

We don't have to do it if you don't want to. Just an idea I came up with a few days ago. lol

That idea sounds really cool actually. Do you want to be the girl or the guy?

I would like to be the girl. But if you want to that's cool.

I'm fine with you being the girl. Do you want to do character sheets or just jump in?

I'd like to do at least a basic character sheet. Like name, age gender and appearance.

Ok. Can you make yours first?

Yup one second.

Name: Olivia Anderson
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Appearance: http://images6.fanpop.com/image/answe...

Age: 22
Gender: Male

Alright cool.
Shall I start for us?

Yes please.

Olivia groaned as she woke up slowly. She blinked her eyes open feeling soar all over, of course it wasn't a new feeling but she hated it all the same. When she opened her eyes fully she cringed against the bright light above her not recognizing it at first. It took her a moment before she heard the soft beeping sound of the heart monitor that she realized where she was. She sighed and closed her eyes again. The last thing she remembered was being half way up he driveway when she blacked out. In a few moments her doctor came in and told her what happened. Apparently her neighbor had seen her pass out and called the ambulance. She sighed when she heard him say that he had also called her emergency contact, which meant T.J was on the way. She wished it hadn't of been today that he had to see her in the hospital again.

T.J. quickly walked in the front doors of the hospital. He knew almost exactly where to go to find Olivia. His mind drifted back to getting the call from the doctor, explaining what was going on. He took the stairs two at a time heading to the correct floor. He stepped out into the main corridor of the unit that Olivia was in. He heard the different yet familiar beeps of different machines going off.


((Sorry that my responses are shorter..)

((No worries. I just had a long one for the beginning. They'll usually be shorter then that.))

Olivia pressed her lips together and pushed herself up right in the bed. Adjusting her legs as she did, and let out a hard breath as she finished. She glanced around the room sort of absently, even though she was pretty use to this room by now. It was hers every time she was here, basically a second home now. Her eyes finally fell on her bright blue wheelchair in the corner, her tennis shoes sitting on top of it.

T.J quickly made his way through the hall to the room that Olivia was in. He stopped at the doorway and peered inside. After seeing that Olivia was in the room, he walked inside and over to her.

She lay her head back after a moment hating that she couldn't really do anything but just sit there and wait. She hated waiting on the doctor for what was wrong this time. She took stared up at the ceiling for a while before she heard someone come into the room. She lifted her head and saw who it was. She managed a bit of a smile as she saw him.
"Hey..." She said quietly.

T.J smiled gently at her. "Hey.." He replied quietly, giving her a hug. He walked around the bed and sat in his usual spot, the chair right beside her bed. He was used to visiting her in the hospital. T.J had visited there long enough to know what some of the various beeps and alarms that went off through out the hospital were for.

She hugged him back, it making her feel a bit better. He always seemed to have that effect on her. Even when she was feeling down on herself, which was most days now. Since most days all she could really do was lay in bed. And when she was able to get out and do something she didn't want anyone to have to deal with hauling around her wheelchair. She hated being a burden on anyone.

T.J moved his chair closer so he was sitting right next to her. He wondered what the doctors were going to tell her this time. He started making funny faces at Olivia, trying to get her to smile.

Olivia looked over at him and smiled slightly shaking her head when she saw what he was doing. She was about to say something when her doctor came back into the room. She looked over to the door seeing he was carrying one of those file folders. It was pretty thick and she assumed it was probably hers.
"I have your test results back." He said stopping at the foot of the bed. "Would you like to speak in private?"
"No." She said trying to sit up a bit more. "Whatever you have to say you can....say it in front of him too."

T.J stopped making faces, suddenly serious. He looked at the doctor, wondering what he was going to tell them this time. He took Olivia's hand and held it.

She was nervous to hear what else she had to deal with. She felt his hand go around hers and she felt her nerves settle a bit, lacing her fingers through his. The doctor said shrugging and opening up the file. "There is some good news, you don't have to take your blood medicine anymore. "But there is some bad news. "Your blood maybe clean now, but your disease has progressed. "I'm sorry but at most you only have a year left." Her eyes widened and she was shocked, she had no idea what to say as she felt tears well up in her eyes.

T.J bit his lower lip, his eyes shining. He moved closer to Olivia and wrapped his arms around her. He couldn't imagine his life without her, they had been friends for as long as he could remember. He looked at the doctor, "so there's nothing more that you can do?" T.J asked, wanting a little bit of hope to hold on to.

He shook his head.
"The only thing we can really do is continue to make it a little less painful." He said trying to sound sympathetic. "And make her as comfortable as possible. "Again I'm sorry." He then left the room. Olivia closed her eyes tightly as he left the room, trying to hold back her tears. She buried her face in T.J. shirt and could no longer hold them back.

T.J held her tightly while she cried. He ran his fingers through her hair. "It's okay. It'll be okay..." He quietly reassured her. He bit his lower lip, holding back tears of his own.

She pulled back after a moment and looked up at him slightly. Wiping her eyes impatiently. She hated crying, and especially in front of him. She wanted to get her mind off of it for at least a moment. She quickly thought of something completely opposite.
"You....you remember when we went to that fair?" She asked quietly. "And you won we that giant giraffe?"

"Yeah. I remember." T.J smiled slightly thinking of when he won that giraffe. He named it Liv after Olivia. He bit his lower lip, trying to hold back tears.

She laughed quietly, softly as she remembered that day.
"You insisted on getting it." She said laying her head against him. "Even when I told you not to worry about it." She smiled a bit as she thought back to the good days.

"That didn't stop me from trying though. And I did eventually get it." T.J sat down on the edge of her bed so he was closer to her. He smiled, thinking about the day they spent at the fair.

"I wish we could do that again...." She said sound sort of far away now. She sighed and looked down shaking her head. "There are so many things I still want to do..." She ran a hand through her now messy hair. "I don't know if I'll ever be able to do any of them."

"We can." T.J reassured her. He kept his arms around her.
"We can do as many things that you want to do. We still have time."

"I don't know if you'll let me do some of them." She said turning to look at him with a small smirk. She then laughed a bit before coughing hard a few times. She took in a hard breath and sighed. "But right now you know what sounds really good?"

"We'll see." T.J replied. He frowned slightly, hearing her cough.
"What? What sounds really good right now?" He asked, wanting to know what she was thinking.

She smiled and pushed herself up a bit.
"Ice cream." She said and laughed softly again. She really just wanted to be out of the room, and away from the hospital, for as long as she could be.

"Hmmm. Ice cream sounds good." T.J said smiling. He thought about where the nearest ice cream place was.
"Well as soon as they let you out of here, we will go get some ice cream."

Olivia smiled softly at that and nodded. At least she had something to look forward to now when she got out. Instead of having to go home and hook up to her medicine. She cringed internally at that thought, hating to have to put the IV's in. Absently looking down at the ports they had put on her arm for that reason. She looked away from them as they doctor came in and told them she could leave whenever she was ready.

T.J smiled slightly, hearing the doctors say that they could leave. He let go of Olivia and stood up. "You ready to get out of here and go get some ice cream?" He asked. He already knew that her answer would be yes.

She was glad that she could leave....again. She knew sooner rather then later she would be back.
"I'm so ready." She said smiling happily. She pushed herself up to a sitting position and with a bit of difficulty moved around to the edge of the bed. "Mind grabbing my shoes?"

"Good. I'm ready too." He smiled slightly. "Sure, I'll get your shoes." T.J grabbed her shoes from her wheelchair. He handed them to her before wheeling her chair closer to the bed.

She took them from him and set them next to her, before pulling her leg up and crossing it over her other.
"Here goes..." She said trying to make a joke, though she never was good at it. She took one of the shoes and put it on her foot, and did the same with the other. Afterwards she was a bit out of breath, but she was use to it.

T.J waited patiently while she put her shoes on. He didn't help her, knowing that she most likely wouldn't let him because she wanted to do it on her own. He smiled gently at her.
"Let's get out of here and go get some ice cream."

"Right." She nodded and slowly slipped off the bed and moved into her wheelchair. She smiled as she situated herself and flipped her hair out of her face. "And out we go." She smirked and started to wheel herself out of the room.

He followed her, smiling softly. He didn't push her wheelchair, letting her wheel herself. "Do you want to get ice cream closer to here or closer to home?" T.J asked. He looked around the familiar hallway as they headed toward the elevators.

She thought for a moment, she didn't want to go home either. Not this soon. And just being out of the hospital was nice.
"Close to here is fine." She said wheeling over to the elevators and pressing the button. She put on her brakes as they waited for it to come up. She glanced over seeing someone else waiting. They were trying to subtly stare at her but were failing. She sighed and looked away shaking her head.

"Okay." T.J stood behind her. He noticed the person looking at Olivia and her wheelchair. He bent his head down close to her ear. "Don't worry about them, they are just jealous that they don't get an awesome wheelchair." He whispered, hoping to make her smile.

She smiled slightly at what he said. But it was one thing she never could get use to. People staring at her like she was some sort of freak. She sighed and laughed slightly, and rolled her eyes.
"Nah." She said softly. "They just wish they had my awesome shoes." She gestured to her duct tape covered tennis shoes and laughed softly.
