BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
"good lord that thing is annoying" I say as I get up out of my bed and shut my alarm clock off.
I go into my closet and pick out a pair of dark wash ripped jeans and a sleeping with sirens shirt.
I straightened my hair and put just a little make up on.
as I was walking out the door to the bus stop when my mom called out "hey did you eat your breakfast?"
my first answer was no, I didn't, but frankly I felt like lying and answered "yes mom"
i walked to the bus stop realizing I had just lied to the one person who wants to help me get better- oh wait I never told you.. I have an eating disorder and I just don't eat so my calorie consumption isn't as good as my doctors wanted. but oh well

as I'm walking into my first period, math, I start feeling dizzy. this happens often so I push it aside.
30 minutes into class I feel like I'm about to pass out. I just push it a side again and focus on my project. then all of a sudden I feel limp and everything went black.
***
next thing I know I'm in a hospital bed with my mom playing on her phone off to the side. I sit up and a nurse comes to my side quickly telling me to lay back down. and I soon realized why. I couldn't breathe I kept gasping for air and nothing would work. I try to stand up but the nurse won't let me. now I have a doctor by my side with a purple bag thingy that makes me breathe. then yet again I see black. all over. everywhere. then my best friend, payton, comes into view. he tells me it's going to be all right over and over and then I wake up with a tube down my throat and I end up choking on it so I reach for it and take it out I remember I'm in a hospital so I click the call button and nurses come rushing in
and I look at them like they're crazy they tell me to lay down and I try to speak but I can't nothing will come out. so they check my vitals and I guess I'm fine so all but one nurse leaves and she starts to speak
" so skylar," she starts
oh if I could talk right not I would correct her I hate when people call me that.
"do you need anything? or have any questions on what's happening?"
YES!!!! I want to know what happened why I'm not in math class! so I try to speak but can't.. I forgot my voice is being dumb.
she realizes I can't speak so she gets me a dry erase board and maker and hands them to me.
I write 'why am I here what happened?'
she looks down like its something bad. then she starts to speak
"skyler, you have cancer... in your lungs and what we did was get you in surgery to see exactly how big the tumor was...." she paused looking down "you might not be able to breathe normally again" she says
I bring my hand up to my neck and feel some kind of medical wrap on it.
wait what the hell did she just say? I have what? and I won't be able to what?
wait so I have fucking cancer
I.have.cancer.
