Jack Johnson's my brother?!

Hospital

I wake up in a white room. I hear people talking around me "I'll tell her when she wakes up, if she wakes up because she's been passed out for a few days" a few days! That means my parents will be home tomorrow!!
I press the call button on the remote next to me and a doctor rushes in.
"I'm glad to see that your awake!" The doctor says with a warm smile. I nod my head and give him a weak smile. "There's a bathroom over there and your clothes are in that bag, get changed and then press the call button" he says kindly. He leaves the room and I get up and walk over to the bag with my clothes in it that I was wearing before. I didn't even notice that I was wearing one of them hospital gown things. I get changed and sit down on the bed. I press the call button with my shaking fingers and wait. The same doctor from before came into my room.
He smiles at me warmly and I just give him a weak smile and nod my head.
"Why am I here" I ask him nervously. His smile fades. "Well..... You have cancer"I feel a warm tear run down my cheek before I even process what he said. "What kind of cancer" I ask worriedly. "It's a new kind of cancer that we haven't found in anyone else, we don't know much about it but while you were asleep we found some things out about it" he says sadly. I give him a small nod, signaling him to keep going.
"Well, you can go to school for two weeks as long as you come here to get treatment on your way home, you will start losing your hair after that and there is a very high chance that we can't fully cure you but we can get the cancer out of you and you can be two years cancer free!" He said slowly and I think I saw a tear slip out but probably not.
"Ok" I reply, my voice cracking.
"Do you mind not calling my family? I don't want them to know yet" I ask him hopefully. "Sure, kid" he says sadly with a weak smile. I like this guy. His so kind, his going to be my cancer Doctor, you know, the one that goes through everything with you. I'm glad his nice. He tells me that I'm free to leave and gives me some tablets that I have to take every morning.
When I get home I collapse on the couch and just sit there staring off into space thinking. What if I don't survive? Will my parents even care? They barely know me anyway cos they're never home. I probably won't be missed if I don't survive this. I don't have any friends. I'm an only child because my mom had a miscarriage. It was going to be a girl, I remember how happy I was when mum let me name her, I was going to name her Autumn after my favorite season. Anyway that's over now so I have to stop crying about it.
Just in case I don't make it I'm going to write my farewells to everyone.
Dear mum,
Thank you for being my mum. Your not usually home but as soon as I need you, you seem to appear. Don't cry over me. I'm in a better place now. I'll make friends with the angels and I'll watch over you. You gave me everything I could possibly want. You made my life perfect. If your ever sad just look at the moon and the stars because I'll be up there, watching you, maybe we can talk. I love you so much so don't forget that. I lost my fight. I'm in a better place. Goodbye.
Love, willow❤️
A tear slipped out and fell onto the page. Suck it up, I tell myself.
Next letter, here we go.
Dear dad,
Thank you for being there for me. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner but I was never good at goodbyes so I couldn't tell you. I'm in a better place now. I just wanted to thank you and tell you that I love you, I know I didn't say it enough but I love you dearly. If you ever get sad, look at the stars and count as many as you can, for everyone that you count is a percentage of how much I love you.
Love, willow❤️
It's kinda sad that they are my only goodbye notes. If I had friends there would be more notes. I'm not planning on telling my parents until my hair starts falling out. I'm gonna go to sleep.
*Next day* (skip to after school)
When I get home I realize that my parents are sitting on the couch talking quietly. Hmmm, that's weird, they usually go straight back to work when they get home from business trips.
"Hey sweetie, have a seat" my mum says kindly but quickly. I sit awkwardly on the couch in front of them.
"We've been keeping a secret from you and we think it's unfair to keep it from you any longer" my dad says as a tear escapes my mums eye. I nod my head nervously for them to keep going.
"Your adopted" my mum says, her voice cracking. I can't hold it in anymore. Tears keep falling from my eyes and they won't stop.
"I was going to keep a secret from you too but since your telling me your secret, I'll tell you mine" I say sadly.
My dad nods for me to keep going.
"I..I...I..I have cancer" I say weakly. My mum breaks down, she starts sobbing and my dad starts crying and pulls me and my mum into a tight embrace. "We'll get through this together, as a family" my dad says confidently. "There's a big chance that I could survive but that doesn't mean theres no chance of me dying so don't get your hopes up" I say sadly. They go to bed. Tbh, I don't even know if I want to survive this....
My whole life I thought we were blood Related. I always wondered why we didn't look much alike. I wonder who my real family is. I decide to make a bucket list. I mean if I have a chance of dying then I may as well.
I get a pencil and a piece of paper.
Willow's bucket list
- meet jack Johnson
- kiss jack Johnson
- hug jack Johnson
- go to MAGCON
- find my real family
I'll add things as I go along.
I lay in bed until I feel my eyes slowly start to shut.
