AN/ Hello! Wow, so someone actually found this!

This is my first writing something that isn't for school.

English isn't my native language so I have had some help from a friend to ensure my story can be easily read. However, if you have any comments about this, please message me.

I don't own the characters.

Chapter one

Cancer!

I have never had a serious illness or been to admitted to a hospital in my lifetime, I've only ever had your average regular check-ups. But now at 26 I have cancer.

Fucking cancer!

They say I have approximately four months left to live.

So I Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic barmaid from the small town of Bon Temps, have decided I am going to live my life to the fullest for these last remaining months. I'm not gonna feel sorry or wallow over the fact that I'm dying.

I'm lying in my bed waiting for sleep to overtake me but it will not come.

Thinking of various things is keeping my mind too busy so I decided to come up with the idea to make a bucket list, a list with all the things I want to do before I pass away.

With this idea in my head, I actually feel excitement for the first time since my diagnosis.

I hurry to my desk getting my laptop and turning it on. I open a new document, I'm staring at the black thingy blink and it's all I can think of.

Maybe music will help.

I open Spotify and start playing my cheer-up playlist. It doesn't help.

Maybe I should Google for inspiration.

I start my internet up, Facebook pops up since it's my home page, nothing much having happened in the few hours I have been absent.

I wonder if vampires have Facebook?

I wonder what sex would be like with a vampire?

Perhaps I should try it.

I put have sex with a vampire on my list.

Vampires 'came out of the coffin' a few years ago when some smart people from Japan invented a synthetic form of blood called 'Tru Blood' that made it possibly for vampires to survive off 'Tru Blood' instead of feeding from humans.

I still have not met a vampire in person since their 'coming out' but would really like to do so.

I have heard of others people's encounters with vampires both bad and good. I have also heard some doing something called 'V'. It's a vampire's blood and it's supposed to be like some sort of aphrodisiac that makes your sex life a hell lot better.

Maybe I should try do 'V', it can't be too dangerous and maybe I should try smoke weed while I'm at it.

I so often hear people thinking about their days in college where they were smoking weed and getting so drunk they couldn't remember it the day after.

I have never done something like that, never been drunk. Sure I have been drinking alcohol but never more than a glass or two.

I have never been out of the state of Louisiana; the furthest away I've been was to New Orleans.

I've never been on an airplane either nor jumped out of an airplane, nor bungee jumping.

I have to do those.

Two hours later and I have created my bucket list. All I have to do now is make sure I fulfill it. So here it is :-

Sookie Stackhouse's Bucket List

Have sex with a vampire

Do 'V'

Quit my job

Go out of State

Ride a motorcycle

Get really, really drunk

Go somewhere by plane

Sky diving

Bungee jumping

Get a tattoo

Smoke weed

The next morning I decide to start to check items off my list, staring with resigning from my job.

I hoped it would be a slow day so I could talk to my boss Sam in the office without disturbing his job.

My wish came true; it was very slow, only a few tables were occupied.

I made my way back to the office and knocked on the door waiting for an answer.

"Come in" Sam answered.

Opening the door I stepped inside.

"Hi Sookie, take a seat, what's up?" Sam asked.

Sam was the best boss you could ask for, he was laid back, flexible and he didn't order his employees around. As long as if there wasn't any chaos out in the restaurant he let us do everything our own way.

"Hi, fine, but I have to talk to you." I said.

"Okay, shoot" he said leaning back in his chair.

"Well you know I went to the doctor the other day. Well, they had the result of the test, and it um… turned out I have cancer."

I looked up at Sam who had shock written all over his face.

"Oh my god" was all he said.

"Yeah it was somewhat of a shock to me too"

"Are you okay? How are they going to fight it?"

"Yes I'm fine now, thank you. Well, they aren't going to do anything. They can't. It has spread too much and so it's impossible to fix it"

"Shit Sookie I'm so sorry".

He rose from his chair and walked to me and giving me a hard and long hug.

"Don't be, I've accepted it and now I'm going to do the best with the last months I have left to live and trust me I'm going to really live those." I said hugging him back.

"Is there anything that I can do?"

"Actually there is, that's what I came here to talk to you about". I took a deep breath.

"I want to quit my job".

"Are you sure? Can you afford that? I can let you work half the time for a fulltime check".

"That's very nice of you Sam but you don't have to do that, I have my money left from mom and dad's inheritance."

When my parents died five years ago in a car crash my brother and I inherited $96 000 dollars each, it was money we never knew they had.

"Well if you change your mind you know where to find me Sookie".

"Sure thing Sam, thank you".

"No problem".

I gave him one last hug before walking out. I felt relieved.
