Hi my name is Jamie and there's a few things you should know about me , like I am obsessed with my guitar and I am secretly in love with this boy in my class at school , oh and yes I also have cancer, or to be precise, Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, or as I call It (ALL). Oh and the other thing , my friends don't know. That's my job today apparently.

Mum said if I don't tell them today then she will , but I know I will end up breaking down halfway through telling them so this will be fun. I still remember the day I got diagnosed. I guess I'm never gonna forget it ;

Flashback

********

I wake up to the sound of the phone ringing throughout the house but as usual no one is going to answer it. They never do. A few minutes later I decided that it wasn't gonna stop ringing so I dragged myself out my bed to answer it.

"

It must be important" I thought to myself "no rings that long otherwise" I was right as this was the phone call that changed my life.

"Hello is this Jamie's mum?" The voice on the other end of the phone said to me. I recognised it straight away. It was Dr Hannah my general practitioner. She's really nice to me because I think she can see that my mum doesn't really care about me.

"Umm no its Jamie, my mums not here at the moment" I lied to hide the fact that my mum wasn't even awake yet, she never is, she calls me lazy when she's the one who doesn't get up until half way through the day.

"Oh ok then. Hi Jamie how you feeling?"

"Umm ok I guess, why?" I asked knowing something was wrong because of the concern in her voice. I mean I know she cares about me but not this much.

"Oh no reason just checking my favourite patient is ok" she replied.

"Oh ok then"I said back. I was only her favourite patient because as a GP she mainly only sees old people and diabetics but I was her special patient. I was always there for some reason or another. Last week it was pain in my side which she thought really weird. I thought it normal but the seemed to think it bad enough to send me to her so.. It must be something. Remembering this from last week I asked her

"So you got anything back from our last meeting?" I was being jokily but deep inside I knew that it was gonna be something serious. I looked it up on google (yes I'm a bit of a google freak. I google everything, get over it ) and it came up with stuff like kidney failure and spleen enlargement. These didn't really make sense to me because i don't have a clue about medicine. I never listen in biology.

"Well Jamie that's what I wanted to talk to your mum about"

she tells me , making me even more suspicious, what could she want to talk about with my mum. As far as I knew my mum didn't even know I kept going to the GP. Why would she? Then it dawned on me. Dr Hannah had told mum because she thought that something was wrong with me.

"Why? What's wrong with me? Am i gonna die?" They were all questions I asked her in a panic. I needed to know.

"Look Jamie you may be my favourite patient but you know I'm not allowed to tell you anything without our mother present because you're not sixteen yet"

Aww but I'm sixteen in October" I pleaded.

"Umm yeah Jamie I just thought i would point out the fact it's only January. " she quickly said back.

"Oh yeah" I say "can't you just tell me then?" I ask even though I know that if its important enough for her to need to tell my mum then it can't wait till October.

"No I'm sorry Jamie, look can you bring your mum here at about 2 o clock?"

"Yeah ok, ...if she's up then ... I-I mean if she's back by then" stutter trying to cover up what I just said. " see you later" I say and hang up.

"Well" I think to myself , "something's wrong I just know it.

"Mmmuuummm" I yelled running into her room , "Dr Hannah from the GP down the road wants me and you to be there at two o clock. So get up" I just stood there staring at her for a few minutes, after about five minutes she looked up at me,

"Umm Jamie what time do call this?" She asked me "it's only twelve o clock"

"Look mum she said it was really important so get your lazy butt into that shower, come on" I said dragging her out of bed and throwing a towel at her.

" I'll be in my room" I told her and walked out.

At five to two my mum walked into my room actually looking like she'd made an effort to look and smell nice, well there's a first for everything.

"Let's go then" she told me in her usual firm tone, she brushed her black shiny hair from her face and I swear I saw a smile,

Maybe she does love me after all.

We walked down to the doctors in complete silence. At least I had my iPod with me. Portable entertainment , I'm convinced its the best thing ever invented. I love it. Mines filled with Taylor Swift and Avril Lavigne, I look up to them so much.

As we walked into the small but spacious building, a thirty something woman ran out crying clutching her purse to her chest.

"What's her problem" my mum said aloud, which seemed to get the attention of everyone in the room.

"Good one mum" I thought to myself as I walked up to counter ,

"Hi I'm Jamie Williamson, Dr Hannah said to be here at two o clock" I told the lady behind the counter.

"Ok love she'll see you as soon as she's finished in there." She told me.

I walked over to the orange plastic chairs that had become so familiar over the years.

Just as I sat down the door to the room labeled Dr Hannah opened and a girl who couldn't have been any older than me came out with a broad smile on her face. Se walked straight up to her mum and said " it's ok mum it's not come back , I'm still cancer free" that's when it suddenly clicked , oh my gosh I have cancer. That explains why she wanted to tell my mum , you can't hide that from anyone.

"Jamie you can come through now , and you Ms Williamson."

The second she shut the door I blurted out

" do I have cancer?"

"Jamie calm down" I hear Dr Hannah's calming voice."

"Just answer the question please Dr" my mum asked her as if pleading I was wrong.

"Yes Jamie you are right , you do have cancer , but before you freak out you have a really high chance of beating it."

"Yeah whatever, leave me alone" I shout before running out the room and out into ye freezing January air, my mouse coloured hair covering my face and the fact I'm crying.

This must be the worst day of my life but somehow everyday of my

Life I've wanted to die but now all I want to do is stay alive.
