I'm suffering from a disease, an incurable disease, as I lay here on my deathbed staring at the ceiling thinking, I wonder what would my life would look like in 70 years, if only I could live that long. I'm gonna miss my family so much, a tear streams down my face. I'm only 13 years old, why is this happening to me? My birthday's in a week, but I don't think I'll make it long enough to see my 14th birthday, to bad. I wanted to spend the day with my family, but I don't want them seeing me like this. Everyday I die a little more, I'm withering away, I'm almost out of time. The Cardiac monitor is constantly beeping and my head is pounding from the constant repetitive beeping noise, I just want it to shut up. The doctors keep coming in drugging me up with this medicine to take away the aching pains everywhere shooting up and down my body, it's kinda amusing how they think the physical pain is what hurts the most. But it's not. It's the emotional pain, of knowing that in a few days I'll be gone, my family can't even bare to see me like this, and I won't even make it to my 14th birthday. There's nothing worse than knowing you're going to die, soon. There's so many things I didn't do, that I wanted to do, and now it's too late. I wanted to travel halfway across the world to swim in the bluest crystal clear ocean, swim with the Sharks and ride a dolphin. I wanted to fall in love with a guy and go on my first date, have my first kiss even if it was outside of my school after my soccer practice, I don't care, I just wanted to live a little longer and enjoy the things I wish to enjoy. Another tear trickles down my face, it's stone cold and everything about me is just, dead. Or soon to be anyways. Out of nowhere a screen is peering down in my eyes. It says, "game over" or "try again?" Right away I understand what it means, I've been given a second chance, I can live all over again, I can live the rest of my life as I should do the things I wish to do and travel to places across the world and have fun! Right away I go to press the "try again" button, but I stop myself... I think, maybe this is my time to die, why would I want to continue life In a world that's just getting worse? But then I think of my family, friends and all the things I didn't get to do, all this time I've spent here wasting my thoughts on how upset I am that I won't make to my next birthday, that I didn't get to swim with the Sharks and all this emotional pain, I want to see my family again and live with them and hug them and be apart of my family. I press try again. No more than 30 seconds later I'm reborn. WHAT? I'm starting to have flashbacks. WHERE AM I? I look up, staring up at 2 strangers. Who are they? I thought this meant I could come back to my family, but this isn't my family. I made a mistake I want to go back, only if there was an undo button.
