The Fault In My Stars

Chapter 5

    As I'm reading An Imperial Affliction, in the waiting room, I look around the room at all the sick people.
    Two little boys with bad coughs and fevers are running around acting like they're immune to everything. Enjoying their life.
    A disabled kid, which makes me very sad.
    And a girl who might be pregnant. She's crying, leaning her head on her moms shoulder.
    And then there's me. The girl who lost her boyfriend to cancer. And the girl who has cancer herself. And the girl who might even have a new guy friend with the same cancer.
    Life is a bitch. And I hate it.

Can anyone be immune to this world? I mean seriously...Everyone is sick. I'm just disgusted. Why can't everyone be happy, immune and carefree? Oh, yeah that's right. Because we are “our own diseases”.
    Everyday, I wait for Josh's text or call. Haven't heard from him since the wreck. I wonder if he really does have lung cancer. I hope he doesn't. And I hope that he just wants to be friends.

Ring Ring Ring. The sound of my phone's ringtone plays as I lay down on my bed. I raise up. Its a weird number. I have no idea who it is.
    Should I answer it? Maybe its Josh and he wants me to go on a date with him because he only has a few years to live with lung cancer. No, I don't want that. That's exactly what I don't want. I answer the phone.
