Dear Via,

So, I have brain cancer. The doctor said there was a part of my brain, that was severly and mentally affected, after Uncle Jem's death. So, that explains me hearing his voice, and seeing him for like a mili-second. I stared at my bedroom wall, the dark,  8 AM winter sunshine filled my room. I sat down carefully to blow out my candle. My head ached a lot. I felt like someone is banging on my head over and over again. I laid my head back again on my feathry pillow. Then I heard a knock on the door. "Who is it?" I said, I sounded really weak. "Peter.." he said. I absoloutly paniked I stood up instantly, which of course made my head spin. I brushed my overly-tangled hair, and put them into a plait. I put my head back on the pillow, but too hard, I winced on the pain that it effected. "C-Come in, Peter" I said. He came in, his blue eyes sparkling like saphires. His soft, straight blonde hair everywhere, wearing the school uniform. He was carrying a flower, a Violet, my favorite. "This is for you. I missed you at school" He said handing me the Violet. "How nice of you Peter." I said smiling. "missed you much more"

"So I've heard the news.."

"Erm..."

"No, no, don't worry, I won't de-friend you"

That made my heart relax. 

"You know I won't do that, Jay"

"I know"

"Pamela says hi"

"I doubt that"

Pamela Rivers is so rude and mean. And she's like the main bully, who started all this, back in 4th grade, telling everyone I kissed Tommy Jince on the lips. Tommy doesn't  even care about me. So, of course all the girls got mad and jealous, and started hating me.. And no one stood up for me, only Peter did.

"No seriously she said that"

"She's just wants attention. She's heartless"

"She's all like "MY BESTIE IS SICK. I FEEL SO BAD FOR HER. UGH I'M GONNA CRY""

He said in a girlish voice. I laughed, but not too hard, it's enough my head feels like it's being stabbed by nails.

"She's such a fake"

"I know. And Tommy acted up too"

"No way! Tommy Jince!"

"Yep"

"Tommy Jince at school"

"Yeah"

"What did he say?!"

"He said  "Oh my love! I miss her! Hope she gets well soon, we still need that fifth kiss""

"What a lier! I barely kissed him once!"

"I know right!"

"Who hang out with you while I was gone?"

"Rebecca"

"Oh. Why suddenly?"

"I think she likes me, I keep catching her staring at me. But, I don't know if I also have feelings for her "

Inside of me was like "Hell no!" and outside of me was like "Hmm.." with eyebrows crossed, with a puzzled look.

"Um, but I do like another girl"

"Who?"

"Well I can't really tell you"

"Why not then?"

"Cause.."

"You're afraid I'll tell?"

"No, no, It's just. I don't know Jade. Forget the topic. How about.. Where's your mom?"

"Erm. In the shop"

"Oh shoot that remindes me! My dad's going to get so mad, if I'll be late again! Bye Jay, hope you feel better!"

He smiled and hugged me and ran out slamming the door closed. The sound of the door, was like the door was torn into sharp blades and being poked into my head. I hugged my knee trying to bear the pain. "Jade!" I heard Mother's voice, my vision was quite hazy. But, I was wide awake. "Are you okay?! Do I have to call Dr.Timothy?!"

"No, no Mother I'm fine. Just a headache."

"Well, here is a banana. You need some pottasium darling"

I ate my banana slowly. I felt like I was eating it with my gums, instead of teeth. I felt like I didn't have any muscles. I feel like I'm going REALLY skinny. "Jade, I promise you tomorrow, I'll cook up Brialle" Our fattest turkey in the farm " Harvest some potatos, mash them and make Turkey and mash potatos. And you ARE going to eat them! You have no muscles!" Mother said shaking my arm back and forth. "You've lost so many pound. If you lose one more, you'll snap into thin air!" "Mothe-" "No! You'll eat your food, and you'll like it" WHAT AM I GOING TO DO VIA?! I DONT WANT TO EAT! I FEEL LIKE MY STOMACH IS FULL....

love,

Jade
