The Start of An End

I'm Chloe and I'm 19 years old; my mom is a musician, actress and author and my dad is a director, music producer and manager.  Their names are Cleo and Leo. I have 3 siblings Joey, Zoey and Louie. Joey and Zoey are both 22 years old so they were born on the same day.They are both complete opposites and they do this weird thing like talking at the same time. Louie is 16 years old and a heartthrob at school, him and I always hang out on the weekends like playing pranks at the mall or party like there's no tomorrow which cause us a horrible hangover the next day.  Louie and I have been the closest out of the family.  I've been the easy-going and I-don't-care-what-people-think in the family, I have cancer since I was 15 years, so for four years and that I have a week to live.

 After the doctors, told me that I would live for no more than a week. I laughed at them then told me "God just wanted me earlier 'cause I'm awesome." Then, they left with my parents for me to think but inside I was numb. I knew I wouldn't be able to stay here for long and I've accepted that and I would just have to make my last moments here on earth, memorable around the people who has stick with me since the beginning.

I began making letters for people and telling them what my life has been since I've met them. I made about 5 letters already, when there was a knock at the door.  When the door opened there stood my siblings. I hid the letters underneath my uncomfortable pillow. Once they entered the room Joey and Zoey sat on the couch at the left side of the room and Louie sat at the chair beside my bed.

I don't know how you sit on those without cracking your spine which I think is impossible because it's cheap plastic with four metal legs. I thought.

Louie gave me a brown paper bag after giving me a hug. It smelled like a BLT from my favorite diner, I did a fist pump in the air because I am just so sick of eating hospital food. The twins chuckled and Louie smirked and I just stuck my tongue out at them. They laughed and I rolled my eyes at them seeing that there's no point of arguing, so I just stuff my face with BLT which tasted like heaven. I moaned because it was just so good also if it was human I would have married it a long time ago.

Anyways, we started talking about everything and absolutely nothing, which I will miss so much. Somewhere around the middle of our story about prank calling our teachers then it turned into a debate about who's was the funnier. My parents came in and watched our silly dispute with amusement and sadness in their eyes.

A light bulb went off in my head 15 minutes after our dispute "Guys!" I yelled, because the twins were arguing about which is better salt or pepper and they looked like they were ready to punch one another. I continued when all eyes were on me "I need your help," "With?" Joey said.

"Let me finish, I need your help getting me out of here because I want to spend my last week outside of the hospital so I can make my last memorable moments. If I start suffering that I'm not able to handle we can just come back here immediately." I looked at them and they all wore worried expressions so I just sighed "Please... I just want to make my moments here on earth memorable and not being stuck in a bed with my back aching every time I wake up. I want to spend it with the people who are special to me." I said while putting on my best puppy dog face, they all sighed.

"Fine." Zoey said

I squealed happily. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Have I mentioned thank you?"

The week went by fast it was full of laughter and just enjoying each other's presence, well not everyone the twins, still bicker and fought like the world was going to end. I spend with the people who are important to me and my family; which is my best friend, Libby and her fiancé which is also my other best friend Lucas.
