So, my boyfriend, Josh was rushed to a hospital. I and the rest waited eagerly. Soon the doctor came out she said that Josh has lung cancer and the cancer cell is spreading around his body fast. I spent two nights in my bed crying. And I knew that he was going to die. He was the only one who cares about me. Soon it's going to be summer. Josh and I were going to camp around Cherrywood forest. Now that he is dying I guess not. So then I spent a few more hours binge-watching and eating popcorn. Then the telephone rang. Hello: I said. It's me Joshes mother: said Joshes mom. I just want to check to see if you would still like to go camping with Josh: she said. Josh is starting to feel better and he just wanted to know: she said. Oh....ok I can go: I said. I started packing up. Phone check. Earbuds check. Tent check. Water bottle check. Foldout mattress check. And that's all I needed. Then I went downstairs and met Joshes mom. We drove all the way down to my boyfriend's house. When I went in the house our eyes met. He was in a wheelchair. Staring at me no words or actions. Just silence.

So how's your day: I said Hmmmmm: Josh mumbled. He can't talk because of his prescription: said Joshes mom. Oh: I said. Josh's mom parked in the parking lot. Here it is: she said. There was a big arch at the entrance that said welcome. Have fun kids: said Josh's mom. We went and paid for our camping spot. I pushed his wheelchair to our camping spot. Let the fun begin: I said.
