What The Hell Ch. 01

... Fuck me, the cancer center. He coughed and released me.

"Mommy, I am a little tired, can I go have my nap now?" He asked.

He stood from the bench as his mother took his hand. He thanked me, then the mother bent over and whispered in my ear.

"If you only knew how much that meant to him." she swallowed, "Bless you Miss."

She turned, picked up the boy and carried him to a wheelchair then slowly disappeared out of the room, down the corridor.

I sat for a minute and moved my fingers back to the keys. I started playing a bit of "Lady" by the rock band Styx. My mom and Al loved their music. This was a song Al would always sing to my mom; they called it their special love song.

When that finished, I started playing simple tunes I have known for the better part of the twenty years I have been playing.

I was finishing the chorus to George Handel's 'Messiah', just the chorus. It is a favorite of mine, though not a religious piece, it has religious tones, I just like playing it. Universally it is about hope, love, looking forward, in my opinion. However, I saw the mother of the young boy stop, she was by herself. She stopped to listen.

"I mean not to bother you but the smile you brought to Josh was one I hadn't seen in a long time. Thank you so much." She spoke.

I blushed, "It's my pleasure. But honestly it's fun to come here and play. I miss playing at times, and well this, well its two fold, I play for whoever wants to listen and I get to disappear in something I love to do."

Gawd I was rambling.Just shut up Alexa. I thought to myself.

"I am going to grab a coffee while he naps, can I buy you a coffee?"

I blushed again and for some reason there were butterflies in my stomach. This poor woman, whose child is in the pediatric cancer center, wanted to spend time with me.

I nodded and then responded, "I will join you but please allow me to buy you a coffee."

She smiled and we both turned and walked towards the cafeteria. It felt slightly awkward having coffee with a stranger but there was a calm and peace in my soul. I paid for our coffee and we made our way to a table off to the side.

As she placed her bags on the chair and took a seat, I could see the emotional strain in her face. I sat down and then realized this woman needed a friend or just some companionship.

"Forgive me, but I am Alexa. It's short for Alexandra." I smiled. "Way less popular of a name until that gizmo thing ...
