Out of time

Back to school

Mellisa's pov
It had been a couple weeks since my kimo therapy and I had to do it once a month. It had been about 2 weeks. "Ok sweetie so your gonna have to go to school soo-"
"Linda I don't think it's time to discuss this I mean she's under a lot right now." My dad said cutting off my mother. "You know what your right. But you do get to go home tonight sweetie!" My mother squealed.
"Really?" I peeked up
"Now here's a more appropriate topic." My dad chimed in.

I looked over at my brother who was asleep on a chair.
A few hours later

"You ready to go" doctor Elise asked.
"I think so!" I chimed. I was able to now walk because the doctors gave me a boot since I healed a little bit but I didn't have to carry anything.

As we were in the car on our way home I felt another itch on my head so I put my hands trough my hair and when I pulled my hands back in front of me their was hair all over them. I groaned but it had been happening every since my kimo. My mom must have noticed that and said "oh honey I'm so sorry. If you want we can get you a wig?" She asked
"That's fine... maybe just a couple beanies?"
"Of course.... lets go get some now" she said pointing towards a clothing store. She pulled into the parking lot.

We walked in. We went towards the hats. I pointed towards a light pink beanie. "Can we get this one?" I asked
"Sure" my mom replied pulling out it down.
We looked some more until I had about 4 hats and we checked out then went to our car.

I fell asleep the rest of the way home in one of my new beanies.

Mellisa was thrilled with her new hats. She pulled out a mint green one and placed it on her nearly bald head. She looked so happy.
She yawned and started to doze off. Her head rested on my shoulder. In normal car rides I would push her head off and complain about how annoying she is but this time was different. This time. This time could bee her last time......

Amanda's pov
It's been a couple weeks since Melissa has been to school. I mean it wasn't like she almost died in there. It was just a joke. I mean really. But whatever.

I was putting my stuff in my locker when I saw mrs Wilson and Melisa's mom talking. I tried to listen in but all the other kids just kept talking to their friends in the crowded hallway. Whatever I thought to myself.

I sat down with my books and plopped them on my part of the table well actually Melissa's part since she wasn't here. Mrs Wilson walked in the room and started asking us to share good things pffftttt I'm to cool for good things! But that's when I realized my books being pushed to my side of the desk

Without looking up I said "excuse me?!?!? Who do you think you are!!!"
"Oh uh sorry I just sit here so" a familiar voice said shyly
Wait hold on
"Mellisa?" I asked looking up. She was bald and wearing a light pink beanie. She just looked at me with fear in her eyes
"Well well well I guess that since somebody didn't have as flawless hair as mine and barbies they decided they mine as well not have hair at all." I chuckled she just looked at me then turned her attention to the teacher.
She's such a coward
"That's all the good things for today" Mrs Wilson clears her throats than also said "except I believe I have a good thing for all of you." She started then began again"you guys may have noticed Melissa is joining us again. I do ask for all your prayers for she is facing cancer and a badly broken ankle" she ended
My eyes went wide. What have I done?

Melissa's pov
I looked down at my boot while mrs Wilson started to explain. She then said something about me needing prayers.
Even if I did get a lot of prayers I wouldn't care. I didn't have faith any more.
She finally finished and I looked at Amanda. Her eyes held confusion and regret. "Mel-" she started
"No Amanda" I croaked
I listened back to the teacher as we continued our math lesson.

Later at recess I was sitting on a bench. Alone. Amanda walked up to me. "I'm sorry" she said
"Yeah well look at me now" "look at my bald head,broken ankle and scared cheek. I didn't even tell anyone it was you." I said then walked away.

Oh Amanda. Oh Melissa.
Ok yeAh
