I died today. Tried to say my final goodbyes, but it was to late. It had been a normal day. I had my treatment and did my therapy. My family had come and seen me. No one saw it coming, but me. Everyone had hugged me goodbye till tomorrow, but it was really goodbye forever. I knew something was wrong. I told them it was my last day on earth. My mom told me I would be fine. My father said we aways have more time. When my family went to leave. I held my mom's hand tight and placed a long kiss on her cheek to remember me. I breathed deep the smell of my dad's colon so I could always remember him. I held my brother tight to my chest and whispered "I love you now. I'll love you tomorrow. I love you to the moon and back. I'll love you forever Jay". They left thinking they'd see me tomorrow. I was alone for the night and I was missing my other siblings. Jay was the youngest only six. Then there was Calvin and Olivia both 13. The twins had been at a party so I didn't get to say goodbye. I watched my last sunset tonight. It was beautiful. At 2:30 A.M. I made a goodbye video on my laptop and at 3:00 A.M I was gone. No more cold chills and no more pain. I was gone. My heart monitor rang through the halls. Nurses rushed in and then there was darkness. I awake in the same bed. As I sat up i noticed a dark shadow in the corner of my room. I was dressed in black. I looked down at the bed only to see my cold body. I placed a hand on my cheek. Slowly brushing the hair out of my face. The shadow put out a hand and without hesitation I took it.
