Before I Go [COMPLETED]

The Walking Dead ~ Mitzuko

I'm not feeling any better today.

I look like I did when got really really bad a few years ago. I'm drained, pale, and lifeless. I feel like a ghost, walking around dead. No, I'm not dead yet.

I still have six months.

...

As I walk downstairs I try to look as lively as I can. It doesn't work because as soon as I step foot in the kitchen my mom gasps and falls to the floor. No mom don't be sad. Please I don't need this right now. I can't stand to see my mother cry so grab my backpack and run out of the house.

...

As soon as I make it to the curb I fall to my knees and begin to cry. No stop Mitzuko the more you cry the weaker you become. But I can't stop. Tears run down my cheeks and my vision blurs. Maybe it'd all be easier if I just dropped dead now. I wouldn't have to see mom cry, and I wouldn't have to watch Koichi love another girl.

No, that'd be selfish. I'm not the only one feeling this pain, so if I die now I won't be doing anyone any good. I have to keep going for mom, for Mrs. Kasai, for my entire family, and for Koichi.

I wish he were here right now. I feel like I can see his shadow in front of me but I know I'm imagining things.

"Hey Mitzuko are you ok?"

I turn around. He really is standing behind me. He always appears at the right time as if he knows I need him.
