I'm down to 200 more days and I'm getting anxious. I'm wondering what my death will be like. Will it be an awful one where I'm still fighting for my life, or will I just stop and let God take my life. All I know is, my time is starting to run out and I've only got one thing crossed off my list. But, I'm hoping to get another thing crossed off. My birthday is next week and I've been throwing out small hints to my parents about getting my own car. "Please mom? I'm turning seventeen, and I really need my own car, because honestly your Camry isn't working."
"Look April, we really don't need four cars. The reason I gave you my old car was so I could get my new one. Many kids get hand me down cars." Normally when I can't get mom to agree, I go and ask dad, but in my six year old kid voice.
"Daddy? Can I please get a new car?" But surprisingly it didn't work. Well even if I done get a new car, I've got something else to worry about. My parents don't really know that I'm dating Mason, so at my party I'm going to tell them and they will meet Mason for the first time. But my parents are very protective, and they could stop me from seeing him, but maybe they will make an exception.
