It's Inevitable

Introduction

"The fact upon life, maybe is to live, but die. Maybe you're destiny is to make an impact on the world, but only for a certain amount of years. Some, have the destiny to live, but some are diagnosed with cancer. The ones destined to die with cancer, try to prolong their life span. Death is inevitable."

I closed my laptop shut. Moving it to the side of me, I pulled my blankets up and moved down my bed to shut my eyes. My phone blinked on, 12:58, read the time. I slid the screen and enter my passcode. I went through 4 different social media apps before locking my phone and placing it under my pillow. A good nights sleep was really what I needed right then. But my mind disagreed.

"Elise? Wake up! Dammit girl!"

I was woken to the sound of my brothers voice. Then a loud slam of my door. He must have gotten mad and stormed out. He tends to do that. My eye lids lifted and the door creaked open. A tall, brunette boy walked in. Wearing all blue, and holding his laptop open in his hands.

"Look!"

The retina display of the Macbook Air, hurt my tired bright blue eyes. As I peered up to the screen, a blue page labelled, "TUMBLR" was open. I rubbed my eyes to focus. Leaning on one arm, scrolling through the page. It was my blog... the last post I made was last night, about destiny and inevitability, 200,00 re-blogs in the time of what? 10 hours? My eyes lit up.

"What? How? There must be a glitch!"

My brother smiled.

"No glitch, I've reloaded the page several times. Elise, your Tumblr famous.."

I shook my head in disagreement, I'm a 17 year old girl, with the potential of a snail. My "Inspirational" posts are just to let out steam and thoughts. I don't have a "Magical Brain" and I'm not "Super Woman". ~See, whats wrong with me, is that I have Osteosarcoma Cancer. It's bone cancer. Yes, It's deadly. Yes, I'm slowly dying. But aren't we all? Aren't we born to just die? I know it sounds terrible but Its a question that no one can answer, not even doctors. Eventually, we all will die. It's inevitable.~ Thats what all my posts are about. I was diagnosed.. about 1 and half years ago.. shortly after my best friend died (that's a story for later). They found it in my knee, at first I had liquid on the knee, after 3 x-rays, 2 ultrasounds, 2 MRI's, and a CT scan, over the course of 6 months, they found the disease. There was nothing they could do at the time. So as much as they tried to get me under Chemotherapy, nothing helped the fact that I was dying. Doctors gave me 4 weeks to live. But look at me now! The Chemo kicked in and the treatments got larger. But the life span of a cancer patient with that, has approx. 5 or less years to live after being cured. It spread to my lungs. I was in the hospital for 23 weeks. I thought I was nearing the end of my life and I almost had a heart attack. I haven't lived to my full potential. I want to do things. I want to live.

Anyways. So yeah, my names Elise Johnston. I have a twin brother, Kasey, who I adore.. and my two thoughtful, overprotective parents, Amber and Chase. We live in Toronto, Ontario, where Princess Margaret Cancer Centre is. We moved here when I was diagnosed, to be closer to where my treatments were going to be. You wouldn't believe what was going through my mind. It felt like death was reaping over me. Ready to take me to hell.
