One Day to live

Doug Chris

Doug and Chris have been friends for as long as they could remember. They know that they meet up at kindie and a few years later they met again at the same school. They only knew of each other but by year six they knew each other well.

Its lunch time and its almost over; when Doug asks “ hey mate can I come over to your house after school“, “sure but why” ” I have to tell you something very important.“ Doug answers, Chris didn’t quite get what he was saying ,but after school Doug found chris standing by a lamp post outside the school waiting he was just watching everyone walk past. Doug came over and said ” I am ready when you are,” but chris didn’t realise that Doug was speaking to him.

They started walking past the rusty ship yard, past the little old dairy and just a little bit further down the gravel road to Chris’s house. Doug asked “have you got your key?” “no I haven’t because the door doesn’t have a lock” ” O, how come?” “It broke and Dad never got it fixed.”

When they got inside, the boys went down the pitch black scary hall-way to Chris’s room. Doug took a deep breath and said “ well its hard to tell you this, but this is my last day to live on this earth “ ” what is that supposed to mean” asked Chris looking extremely confused..... “I have cancer and when I saw the Doctor with Mum he said that there was no way of getting better, I am dying from cancer”. Chris got a huge shock and felt like he just got crushed by a boulder and he didn’t know what to do. Chris said “ so why did you want to come over instead of doing something fun on your last day?” ” It’s because you are my best friend and I want to spent my last hour with you instead of being bored not knowing what I wanted to do”.

They didn’t have long but they sat around wasting a lot of time trying to figger out what to do, but just couldn’t think of anything.

They finally decided to do parachuting which would be a fun thing to remember together. They went to the airport and looked for the sign to let them know where they could go parachuting. Doug said “ is parachuting very scary” Chris shrugged and replied ” I don’t know I have never jumped out of a plane before”. The boys looked all around and finally found the sign which led them to the place they were looking for. They talked with the owner, found the trip they could afford to spend their mail run money on and a few minutes later they were getting harnessed up and ready to get on the plane. Chris said “ The planes massive” Doug replied I know and do you know what it is” ” no what is it “ “ it’s a hercules “. The pilot said “its time to get on the plane boys- are you ready to go?”. The boys jumped on the plane buckled in and got ready for takeoff feeling really excited but also very scared. The sky was blue with a few puffy clouds and no wind. The engined kicked into life, really loud to the boys in the plane, headed off up the runway and took off. They asked how high they were going to fly and the crew told them 15,000 feet in the air. The man looked at the boys and said “its time to jump now, you both ready?”. The boys looked back shocked because it was so high up and they didn’t want to jump out. The crewman simply moved closer and shoved them out and said “right behind you, I will show you what to do and speak to you again at the bottom”. Doug and Chris were screaming like girls. When they were shown when to pull the chord to let the parachute they were not that far from the ground.

When they landed the ambulance was waiting to rush Doug to the hospital because it was his time. Chris was upset that he would be losing his best friend but thought what a wonderful memory he would have with his best friend and the day they had spent together.

Characters

Nathan Dug Chris

Dug and Chris ask Nathan why he has been acting so wearied and he tells them that he has one week to live and at first they didn’t believe him and he said that he was telling them the truth and then they finally believed him when the doctor came to his house and told him.

Dug and Chris couldn’t believe that they will lose their best they were very very sad to her it. They didn’t know what is the cause of it but they knew that it can’t be good. They decided that the best thing to do is to write a bucket list of what he wants to do in the one week to live. Chris thought of the things that Nathan would like to do and Dug would write them down. When they had finished the list they went over to Nathan’s house and gave him the list he thought that it was a good idea to do.

Day one of the bucket list Nathan looked on the list and the first thing he found was to go hunting so he went and got chris and chris went and got Dug and they found a good forest in New Zealand. The good thing is, is that Dug has his gun license and he also has three shot guns which is ironic because their is three of them going hunting. By lunch time they had 4 deer. Nathan Shot two and Dug And Chris shot one each. They quikly went home got changed and ticked hunting of the list.

After they had lunch which was the very nice deer they caught, then they looked on the list for the next thing to do and it was wheel chair basket ball. They went down town and met up with the man who runs wheel chair basket ball. At the same time they found that their were heeps of people doing it so their will be a couple of games. When they started to play they didn’t find it as easy as they thought but the hardest part was shooting from siting down. You need a lot of upper arm strength to get the ball from your arms to the hoop.

Day two wet day which will be pretty fun for the three of them. The first thing that they thought that was pretty cool was buggy jumping of Auckland bridge. They got dugs dad to nicely give us a lift to Auckland to meat joey Which was located just out f Auckland's town. After there two and half our trip they finally got to his work. They got out of the car and looked around it wasn’t very worming but when they got in side dug said to Nathan “wow that is massive”.
