1 month…

That’s what the doctor’s had said.

You had gotten Cancer and they said you had only one month to live.

When the news had broken, your whole family cried and for the past 2 days you had been receiving cards of grief from your family and friends. Your parents asked that you set up a bucket list and that they’d try to fulfil your wishes despite the little money you’d had. They’d even made you write a blog so you could show your top 5 wishes.
But, on the top of the list:

Meet Benedict Cumberbatch

You knew it was impossible, but you didn’t care.
Nonetheless, today was the day.
Today was the day you were going to die. It was a lot better to accept it other than ignore it. There was a soft knock and your (eye colour ) eyes flickered to the front door.

Who would be knocking?

You weakly stood up and hobbled to it. You realised you were still in your Pyjamas but you didn’t really care. Opening the door, your eyes widened at the visitor before you. His dark eyes inspected you closely and his lips quirked into a smile

“Hello.” He said “Are you (your name)?”

“I-I am.” You stammered

“It’s nice to meet you. As you may know I’m-”

“B-Benedict Cumberbatch” you finished for him and he chuckled

“Yes. I read your blog rather recently and I came across your wish list.” Your breath hitched in your throat

Benedict Cumberbatch had read your blog?

“I apologise for not coming sooner.”

Tears stung your eyes and you started to cry. Benedict pulled you into a hug

“Hey! It’s alright! No need to cry my dear!”  He said gently as he led you onto your couch, his grip on you never wavering. He held you tight until your sobs died down to Hiccups. He pulled away, wiped your tears and smiled
“There we go” he paused, trying to change the subject

“So, what made you so eager to meet you?”

“Who wouldn’t want to?” you sniffed

“Haha.” His laugh vibrated through his chest

“You’re always the one who makes me smile and brightens up my day. I’ve watched every movie you’ve been in and I have posters of you all over my room. I know it sounds creepy as hell but I’ve dying to meet you for ages.”

“You sound like an amazing person, (firstname)”

“Thank you Mr. Cumberbatch.” He waved a hand

“Benedict, please.” Your smile vanished as a pain began to throb in your heart and you cried out

“(First name)!” Benedict cried and reached for his phone

“No!” you gasped “It’s my last day today, there’s no point.” Your eyes turned sad and you looked up to Benedict “Please, will you stay with me?”

“I will.” Benedict said slowly and you leaned into his chest

“I’m glad I met you.” you muttered and the actor smiled

“I am to, (first name)”  he had tears falling down his cheeks
You smiled into his chest. Your final wish was completed. You treaded your fingers into his and closed your eyes.

Benedict heard someone walk inside and turned. There was a man and a woman who he imagined were (your name)’s Parents. Her mother had a hand over her mouth and tears staining her cheeks.

“I-Is she…”  Benedict pulled (first name) away from him and lay her down on the couch.
“She’s gone.” he said sadly and kissed your forehead “Goodnight my dear (first name)”
Meh. I felt like writing something sad today.
