Why Me?

Hey everyone! I'm back with a new multi-chapter Jatie story that focuses on Katie and James staying strong while James fights off a life threatening illness. Sounds scary, huh?

I stare intently at the doctor as he explains what is happening to me. I start to cry. Yes, I'm a 16 year old man and I'm crying. You would be too if you just got the news that I did.

I'm James Diamond, I'm 16, and I have leukemia.

I start chemo next week, and I refuse to talk to anybody but Katie, I love her too much not to. Katie is Kendall's little sister and my girlfriend of three years. I had finally convinced Kendall to let me date her a few years back and I'm so happy with her.

"James, baby, you're going to have to talk to my mom about the treatment session." Katie tells me, walking into where I'm hiding from the others.

"I know, but I'm not ready, I'm too scared." I begin to let tears fall freely.

"Why are you scared of the guys?"

"Because, I'll be different. What if they don't look at me the same way when I start to lose my hair? Or become weaker? Or lose weight? Will they still treat me the same then?"

"Baby, I understand, but out of the crazy ass person you are, now is not the time to judge you. I promise you I will always be here for you. I love you."

I grinned the biggest grin I had in my entire life. She loves me. "I love you too, thanks Katie-bear." I give her a peck on the lips and go out in the living room slower than usual.

I'm already starting to get weaker.

And it sucks.
