I thought about yesterday when I pinkie promised Nick I would be there. But something happened last night when I was falling asleep.
When I was leaving the school, after Nick's practice. I got really nauseous, fatigue, and a bad headache. I haven't told Nick about my pain, I don't want to worry or hurt her, if I tell her my Leukemia is getting worse... It will definitely effect her mood, and maybe emotions, and I want her to focus on basketball right now. Not my Leukemia. Not my Pain. Not my problems.
I am in the hospital missing Nick's game right now. I feel so bad, I Pinkie Promised her I'd be there. But I'm not. I'm in the hospital, STUPID Leukemia! WHY ME!? WHY NOW!? I want to live, not DIE! i have many things I want to do with my life. I haven't even gotten my drivers license yet! My 16th birthday is in 2 weeks. luckily it's soon, I want to be able to at least feel what it feels like to be 16. I want to celebrate my sweet 16, and go to nick's sweet 16!
My doctor says that not only do I have Leukemia Cancer, but I now have breast cancer! WHY!? That explains the hair loss. I haven't lost much, I have thick blonde hair, so there's a lot of hair to lose, but it's not noticeable yet. Maybe no one will notice if I just wear a hat. I will have to tell Nick eventually. I can't keep it hidden forever, especially since I don't have forever.
I can't die. I can't lose Nick. Not now. Not ever.
