☓.Spencer's POV.☓

Another morning waking up in my hell hole.I grabbed my sharpie and wrote down "34" on my calendar. 34 days being stuck in the hospital. Again. I've gotten used to it actually. I've gotten used to loosing everyone. I remember this young girl, Amy, only ten years old, had leukemia. She was my little cancer buddy for two years. One morning she got very ill, her parents were in the room crying with her. I waited outside, waiting for my turn to see her. Than I heard her mom screaming, terrible cries. I peeked my head in, her mom held her, the doctors trying to consult her parents. From there I knew I lost my little cancer buddy.

I'm five months cancer free. I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cancer at age 18. Im 22 now and cancer free. When I was able to go home my parents suddenly grew all their attention on me but I wanted to be alone. I know the type of cancer I had would come back one day. My doctors gave me pills to prevent me from getting sicker. Well the day I got home I took ten of them.

All at once, that was my suicide attempt. I didn't want my parents to be stuck with a ticking bomb. I would die soon when the cancer would come back anyways. Might as well die now. With no pain. But I failed the pills I got were not strong enough to kill me so I was hospitalized for suicide attempt and kept under supervision. My perspective on life was dark, scary and lifeless. That is until I met my ray of sunshine.
