Leukemia, a malignant progressive disease in which the bone marrow and other blood-forming organs produce increased numbers of immature or abnormal leukocytes. These suppress the production of normal blood cells, leading to anemia and other symptoms...
Out the window, The wind blows, And as I look down, People playing so carefree, How I wish, Oh I wish it were me. ~NGBoyd ~*~*~*~*~
My eyes open, but this time I wasn't alone. Mom was at my right side, and Sam at my left. I don't understand why Sam and I are interacting so much, but everytime he's there I see guilt in his eyes.
"Momma, your breaking my hand. " I wince.
"YOUR AWAKE! Oh Sam go get everyone, he's awake! " mom was in hysterics again. When it comes to me, it seems that all I cause is worry.
Sam being the ever obedient child he was, slowly got up from his seat. However he didn't immediately leave to get the family. No, instead he looked at me, as if he didn't understand something. As if I were foreign to him. And I realized, I hated that look, the look that told you you're different, that said, 'I don't understand you'.
My eyes hardened as I looked at my brother, the one who caught me as I fell. The brother who used to play with my girly toys with me when no one else would. The brother that beat a guy up for calling me names when I came out to the school. And now, the brother that somehow doesn't understand me.
"Sam, what a-are you wa-aiting for? Go get them! "Mom said excitedly.
*~*~*~*
Going home was a nightmare, everyone was fussing, 'Jay don't do that' and 'Jay don't do this'. I hated it. The doctor put me on bed rest for a week, so Sam gave me my work from school each evening, and it was fairly easy to do with help from Darcy.
But at night after everyone had gone to their rooms I couldn't get Zoland out of my mind. I never even got to see if he was in any of my classes! But tomorrow I would be going back, even if only for a few hours.
"Are you excited for your first day of real school?" My mother asked the next morning.
"It's not really my first day, I've been doing the work all week." Was my only answer.
She waited a minute before answering back "Well are you excited for your first day back to public school?"
"I guess. I mean I can finally talk to someone new."

Finally, I got to walk down the hall of my new school. People looked at me weird as I walked by, probably do to the seven bodybuilder worthy guys behind me, trailing me like lost puppies. But it was whatever.
Wwwwwhhhhheeeettttteveryone stopped as we heard someone whistle. Samuels face grew angry as he stormed through the crowds of people an to who I now see as Zoland.
"Sammy! Pal, what a nice surprise. To what do I owe the pleasure of seeing you here? " Zoland said happily to the angry face Sam.
"The Fuck are you whistling at Cartlen?"
"Sammy, Sammy, Sammy.... This is the last time I say it. So listen well, don't curse in front of my Jay. Do you understand that, or do I need to use an alternative motive?" after Zoland said that there was only silence, then he looked at me.
"Come on Jay, I'll walk you to first hour." it wasn't a question, it was a demand. So, I stepped away from my brothers, and over next to Zander and his buddy's... And we walked to class.
It turned out, we had the same first hour. I think I'm going to like my first class of the day.
