Water of Life

Chapter 5

The next few days at home everything was quiet. All of the medical supplies were taken away a new real bed was brought in. I even talked my parents into painting the room. I was guessing that they were still in shock. I was fine. After almost 5 years of me being sick it seemed like it was over. But they had been preparing to live without me. My mom would hug me and touch my face and smile. Whenever she walked by. My dad would do the same. You could tell that they thought this was like the first time even though it wasn't.

Both of them we're trying not to just break down, grab me in a bear hug and never let me go. My sister was also happy. Two weeks after we got home. We were sleeping in my new full size bed talking. She told me that she was happy that I didn't die. But that she was more happy that she didn't have to deal with my death. She didn't think she would be able to keep everyone together. And I told her I was never leaving. And that I would always be here for her now. That the cancer was gone. No trace is what all the doctors said. That it was like I had never been sick in the first place. 100 % free. She rolled over and wrapped her arms around me and cried into my shirt. I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her as hard as I could. I loved my family and now they wouldn't have to loose me. At least not in the way they thought. 

So now you know the beginning of my story. I had cancer, I was going to croak. But I didn't. That old lady with the necklace from had saved my life for some reason. Over the summer I had found out that the older lady that was had ran by my door in the hospital crying was her daughter. And the lady that had saved me was like ancient she had just turned 114. She didn't look a day over 70 if you asked me. Yet no one did. I kept the necklace with me, so much as showering with it on. One of the weirdest things was that it seemed other people couldn't see it. Or maybe couldn't notice it. I had done a lot of research over the days that passed. Even so much as doing experiments. I had taken off the necklace and laid it on my dresser and made sure there wasn't anything around it. Then asked my sister when she came in to grab it for me. She couldn't find it. When I walked over to stand beside her. I could see it plain as day. But she still couldn't see it until I picked it up.  She jumped back and acted like it had just popped out of thin air.  So I guess whatever it was it was protecting itself unless it was in my hands. This is where my story gets weird.
