I woke up to the soft rays of sunlight hitting on my face . The sun is peeking through the soft white curtains . I wake up from my slumber and try to sit up rubbing my eyes . I look around the small room to see there's no one around me . I've gotten quite used to this room and the emptiness that comes from here

It had been a while since I've been admitted to this hospital . It's not the fanciest hospitals to exist but it does its job.

While roaming my eyes around the empty room I'm once again filled with void remembering why I'm here .

Flashback

I had always been a little weak . I ran slower than the other kids . couldn't do much physical activities either but I wasn't that unhealthy and didn't think that I'd be the one to face any major health issues .
But here I am . I had been feeling sick for a past few months . I had other check ups done too but they didn't find any major problems . None the less the pain in my body and the uneasiness wouldn't go away so I went to a different doctor for a check up this time.

" I'm sorry moon........  you have intrahepatic cholangiocarcinom, it's a type of liver cancer "  said the doctor with a glum face . 
"It's in stage three now" I couldn't comprehend anything .
What is he talking about . Did he mix up my reports with someone else ? This can't be it .

"Wh-what do you mean  "  I said with a shaking voice .I could barely manage words out of my mouth

"I know this is sudden but it is  what it is  .we'll try our best to help you dear  ." The  doctor said with a reassuring smile

" How bad is it? " asked my mother who was almost in tears now

"It has already grown and spread over her liver  but there's still a little hope . You need to get her admitted to the hospital now it can't be delayed much longer " he said in a professional tone

"Please help my daughter . She's only 17 I can't let her go " mom bursted out in tears .

I felt a pang in my chest and my eyes stung from the tears threating to fall down.

Was this it? But I hadn't even fulfilled any of my wishes yet . Was I just going to die like this , this isn't the life I wanted for myself .
I felt defeated
All the dreams and wishes I had for myself were no longer valid

I felt like my wings were cut of even before I could learn to fly
