My name is Tyler Smith, and this is my story. My story begins where every other story begins, which is in school. I was always that athletic, nice, and popular guy in high school. I had a lot of friends but my best friend was Connor Matthews. He stuck with me through all the crap I’d say and do, he’d been a real friend.
I never really thought about death or how and when it was going to happen, till the day I was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors told me I only had three months to live because they found the cancer so late. At first I was scared yet angry at the same time, knowing that I was going to die soon was surreal. Who wouldn’t be mortified? I had time to think about my last month’s and what to do. I wanted to make a bucket list. So I did.
The first thing I put on there was 1. Find your true friends and I finished it that day. So I went around to all of my so-called fake friends and I told them what I really thought of them, slut, rude, liar, and so many more. Connor was the only one that stuck with me, he understood the reasoning of it all. At lunch, on the last day of school in June, I bumped into this one girl, who took my breath away. She was not fake like everyone else, she had something different about her. “Sorry,” I quickly said, she mumbled a “It’s okay,” and tried to walk around me. I suddenly blocked her way and blurted “Wanna sit with me?” She looked up for the first time and nodded and smiled.
In July, after a month of getting to know her, I fell in love with Allison Tomlinson. From the way she could sing and make everyone in the room stop and listen, to the way she always smelled like vanilla. She changed something inside me and how I looked at the world. Whenever I told Connor something similar to that, he laugh, crack a grin and say “Dude, your so lovestruck,” and I was. Allison was so unique, she was herself and wasn’t afraid to show it.
She figured out my bucket list and started helping me with it. One of my favorite was with her probably was 4. Jump off a waterfall. Coincidentally, her brothers had once took her to one nearby but she was too young and scared to jump. So when I parked my car, she was grinning but I could see in her eyes, that she was a bit scared. I reassured her that we’d be fine, tons of people had jumped off the cliff before and were fine. I guess that helped her, she immediately ran towards the top falls, yelling for me to hurry. We took our clothes off, having our bathing suit underneath, ready to go. We intertwined hands and ran full speed off the waterfall. Once I hit the bottom, I quickly looked for Alli and we swam to shore. The whole time we were grinning like idiots and trying to catch our breath. She looked up and me and said “Wanna do it again?” Then she got and ran away yelling over her shoulder, “Last one is a rotten egg!” That was probably the most exciting and thrilling thing I did in my whole life.
In August, Allison and I did number 8 on my list,which was Go skydiving. My family has a cabin far out of the city and there is a place where you can go skydiving. Alli was so excited about this one, she said she has always wanted to go, but never had the chance before. Once we arrived at the modern, fancy place, they hooked us up on the triangle shaped things. Once we were in the air, it was breathtaking, the view, the feeling, everything was perfect for that one moment. As soon as we got back, talking about how perfectly amazing that was, my nose started bleeding. To normal people that is normal, but I’m not normal. If my nose bleeds, that means I’m getting really close to my death.
The next week, my nose started bleeding again and Alli was confused why I was freaking out because it wasn’t stopping. I hadn’t told her. I quickly, angrily told her that we had to get to the hospital quickly. I wasn’t mad at her, just at cancer, she still didn’t know and I wanted to keep it that way. Once we arrived at the hospital, they took me in quickly and gave me pills and made the bleeding stop. Allison was still confused about why we had to suddenly rush to the hospital, I thought I had to tell her sometime, I told her I would tell at my house. After I told her, she started freaking out and yelling, crying, throwing things, anything. After about 20 minutes of her freaking out and me trying to calm her down, she sank to the floor and quietly sobbed. I hated that I did that to her. I explained “Find someone new, think of me only when you are lonely, I will always love and be there for you. Be happy without me.”
I just wanted people to know my story and my adventure that I had in such a short period of time. Every day was a new adventure with Alli and I hate how I caused so much pain to her but I can’t change that, all I want is her to be happy. Before I die, I wanted to live a life full of adventure and love, and I got that. This was the adventure of Tyler and Allison. My tenth and final number on my bucket list was Fall in Love.
