you well . I am still keeping that promise , even until this day . But all you can see is all the pain you are in , not everything is about you ! Grow up ! I thought I had you left after Lucerne ’ s death but I guess not ! She was the love of my life and the only love of my life !” it seemed as though he was on the verge of crying . Acacia was left speechless ; she had never been told the truth straight to her face before but she kept on a heartless face and headed up to her room . She feebly locked her door as her heart starts to crack little by little , as tears slowly ran down her pale slim face . She was named after a beautiful tree but ever since she lost her mother it felt as though her tree was slowly dying , day after day . She knew that she had no hope left , there is nothing left worth living for . But she knew she wasn ’ t going to get any thinking done here , so she took her bag and climbed out of the window . She hurried and ran to the park four blocks away from her home , she had always found comfort there . The park was quiet ; when the wind blows she could hear the rustling of the dried leaves . When the winds move the swing , there would be screeches coming from the bolts that have been rusted . Nobody ever comes here anymore , it ’ s abandoned she wondered maybe that ’ s why she liked it so much . She found herself all alone , Acacia believed this was where she belongs . “ Ah !” Acacia screamed in shock and terror . As she turned around to see who was touching her . It was just a little girl around 10 years old , she whispered to her “ Why are you crying ? Please don ’ t cry , you look prettier when you smile ” She held the brightest smile , this was the kindest thing anyone had ever said to her in two years . Acacia started to play with the little girl , the little girl had dark circles under her eyes and kept on coughing but managed to keep on a bright smile . It has been about thirty minutes and then the little girl collapsed and foamed started to ooze out of her mouth . Luckily Acacia knew a nearby hospital , she then picked her up and rushed her to the hospital . Her legs and arms were getting tired but she didn ’ t care . She finally arrived at the hospital and brought her straight to the emergency room , luckily a doctor saw us . She came straight to them and rushed us to her office . She took the little girl and handed her over to the nurses to get her checked out . Once assuring the child ’ s safety , the doctor came to me “ Hi , I ’ m Dr . Cynthia Jones . You may just call me Cynthia . May you explain to me the history of what I am assuming is your sister ?” Acacia didn ’ t know what to tell her “ I ’ m sorry but I don ’ t know her , I just met her in the park and she suddenly fell ill ” “ Oh well , I guess all we can do is to wait for the results . May you please wait outside of my office as I need to attend to other patients ? I will inform you once I get her results .” Cynthia supposed politely . She escorts Acacia out of her office and onto one of those metal made chairs that absorbs the cold and freezes thighs when sat on . It ’ s been an hour and Acacia is starting to get worried , and her father had been calling her non-stop ; there were five miss calls by now . Acacia didn ’ t care about what her father wanted ; her mind was set on the little girl . Lastly , Cynthia calls my name and I head into her office with nervousness . “ Ok I ’ m just going to give it to you straight . The child is suffering for a rare disorder in her heart due to lack of a proper diet . We have asked the child ; the child doesn ’ t have parents and has been living on her own out in the streets . Therefore , this is what became of her health , this is a very severe case . She needs a heart transplant or else she will die … But we don ’ t know who her parents are so the only other way for it to be possible is for it to be of the same blood type as her … AB negative …” Cynthia explained Acacia didn ’ t hesitate to say “ I am a type AB negative , use me . Please give this girl a chance at life ; my time was over a long time ago .” Cynthia looked as though she was going to object but she saw the kindness within Acacia ’ s heart and softly nods . “ Let ’ s get on with the procedure then , but before that , is there anyone you would like to contact ?” “ No there isn ’ t , if someone comes asking about me , please tell them this is what I am meant to do and I love you ” Acacia knew that her tree died a long time and now it ’ s time for her to give it life again . Acacia changed into medical clothing and laid calmly down on the bed , she was slightly afraid but it didn ’ t change her mind . Once they entered the surgical theatre , Cynthia was preparing the anesthetic . “ Don ’ t worry Acacia , I promise you a peaceful and painless death . You are an amazing and brave person for doing this ” She gave a warm smile as the mask was put on her and she started to fade off …
Mr . Verlaine rushed to the hospital only to find his daughter gone … he was in tears and he regretted never telling her that he loves her . Cynthia found him and told him everything and that gave him closure . He then went to the ward of the little girl . “ Hi there , I ’ m Mr . Verlaine what ’ s your name ?” The girl said shyly “ Its Lucie ” The circle of life was then complete ...
