We all wake up around 6 am to help Jamie get the last of her things together before they leave. Goodbyes are so hard, and all I can think about is that I will have to do this for every single one of the people I love in not a lot of time. The morning goes by really fast. Too fast. Like I said before Jamie is the only friend who knows.

Before she leaves she pulls me aside. "I'm so sorry for leaving you like this."  "It isn't your fault love, I'm sorry that life sucks." I say back to her. She hugs me tight, and says, "Can you do something for me?" I nod yes and she says "just try to fight it. I know you will lose your hair, and get weak, but for me and everyone else who loves you, and 15% chance is better than nothing right?" She starts to tear up and so do I. "OK, I'll try." And with that we hug one more time before she gets into her parent car and they drive away. We stand there as a group of 4 hand in hand, tears in our eyes, and unable to move from the sidewalk in front of the empty house that has given us so many memories.
