Love, Cancer, Me

Chapter 2

Thank god school is over!

It's been a long day and I'm glad to be able to go home. I love to learn I just don't like everyone there...that's all.

Once I'm home I put my keys on the little table by the front door and put my bag down by the table. I swiftly walk up the stairs and in to my room.

When I get into my room I strip from my clothes and change into black yoga pants and a white tank top. I walk into my closet and grab a red hoodie to throw over my head. I threw my hair up into a ponytail and jumped into bed. Suddenly my phone buzzes.
I looked at it to see I had a text from Kayla.

Kayla is my best friend. She's been with me through thick and thin and and is my other half, my sidekick. She's crazy like me but in some ways even worse.

"Hey boo, sorry I didn't come to school today, but you want to go to the mall?"
I rolled my eyes still a little annoyed at her for that.

"Babe, I have a butt load of homework. I don't know.."

"Oh come on, just this once!! I need to go shopping with my sister!"

I sighed and looked at the clock. It's 4:30.

"Fine..but I have to be back home by seven!"

I get off my bed and slip on my white vans bouncing lightly on the balls of my feet.
After putting on my shoes I grab my bag and head downstairs.

When I entered the kitchen, a heavenly aroma flooded my senses, Mexican. Anyone who knows me well knows that I love Mexican food and that it will always be one of my favorites.

"Mmm, mom it smells amazing!" I praise her as she smiles. "Thanks hun, where are you going?" she scrunches her eyebrows.

"Kayla wants me to go to the mall with her, i'll be home around seven" I remind her. She nods and grabs a plate from the cabinet.

"Ok, I'll leave dinner out for you when you get home".
After a few more minutes of talking we say our goodbyes and I'm off to see Kayla.

When I get in to the car I blast up Pierce The Veil while singing along to the songs.

I pull into the parking lot and see Kayla standing by the doors. I quickly make my way towards the entrance.
"Hey!" she says while giving me a hug.

"Hey" I breath out as we walk inside.

After walking around for at least two hours we finally enter my favorite store.

I end up looking at sweaters, trying to pick which ones I would want to buy.

"So..Have you heard from John?" Kayla asks as I still look through the racks of sweaters.

I don't answer her.
She knows better than to bring him up. This is a touchy subject.

John is my ex-boyfriend of 2 years. He was my everything, I loved him so much and I thought he loved me. But after finding out he had been cheating on me for a year was very hard for me. I was torn apart. I didn't eat, sleep, or do anything for a month. All I did was stay in my room and mourn over him. I soon realized that it was pathetic to waste my time over him when I can find someone better. After the brake up, he moved out of state with his mom. I don't know where he went and really I try not to care.

"Faith? Did you hear me?" she puts her hand on my shoulder which makes me look at her. I sigh.

"Look, Kayla..I'm over John and I'm ready to move on from him, so why do we need to talk about him all the time?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that, I was just wondering because he's back in town"

My eyes widen and for a moment I could swear that my heart had stopped.
"Well good for him."

I quickly change the subject by asking her which sweater I should get. I end up buying three sweaters, four pair of skinny jeans, and a pair of black VANS.

I pay for my stuff and walk out of the store. I look at my phone to see it's 6:30.

"Hey, I'm going to head out, it's almost seven." I tell Kayla.
"Alright babe, love you see you tomorrow." We say our goodbyes and I head out to my car.

I pull onto the freeway and began having a headache. I turn the music down and massage my temples with one hand while the other on of the steering wheel.

I began to feel sick to my stomach and my head felt heavy. My vision became blurry and I couldn't make out my surroundings anymore.

The next thing I remember is hearing a number of painful sounds and then

everything was dark.
