Last Wish

Chapter: 1 Description

I was born a special, miracle. Though, some may think that being born with your heart not beating would not be considered "special" in any way, shape, or form. But, fortunately i lived. So, for that i am a miracle. But how am i special?
I was not only born, basically dead. But i was born with a bad heart, i have heart cancer. Heart cancer is extremely rare. It is so rare that one out of one million people are diagnosed with heart cancer. So i guess i am the " lucky one", which apparently makes me, special.
Everyone i meet always tells me i am a beautiful 17 year old girl. I guess, i look okay.
I never really grew hair until i was 4 or 5. I have never had long hair, always a pixie cut. A midnight black color of hair on my head.
I suppose my hair does go well with my paper white skin, and deep ocean blue eyes.
I have a tall face, with a " cute button nose, and blood red lips" as my mother tells me.
I believe, my mother is prettier than me. We look nothing alike. My mom, Carolyn Hampton, has gorgeous long blonde hair, and beautiful lime green eyes. She has a round head, with an unforgettable heart shaped face. She has the smallest, yet pointy nose, with slightly tan skin. ( wich is perfect for her beautiful complexion. )
She is so much shorter than me, she is 5ft 4, and i am 6ft tall. I get my tallness from my dad, Jona Hampton, we look more alike. I have his pale skin, blue eyes, and black hair. My dad could pull of being as tall as a basketball player, infact, he played basketball all throughout highschool. He is 7ft 9.
So basically in almost all our family pictures, we line up tallest, to shortest. My dad first, then me, then mom. We have gotten used to the order, so nothing particular. But then again, it would look rather strage if my mom or dad was in the middle.
I am an only child. My parents were afraid of having more kids after how i turned out.
My parents named me after there wedding month, favorite-time-of-year month, and my birth month.
June. June Barley Hampton. So i guess in a way, my name is very cliche.
I was born on June 21, 2000. So almost a July baby!
I don't think i could ever imagine myself as July Barley Hampton, it just sounds silly.
But then again, what isnt silly in my life anymore? My life is silly, sometimes i wish it was all a sad dream, and wake up and know what it felt to have a good heart.
I wish i could run sometimes, and jump and spin around, exercise like a mad woman. But i cant increase my heart rate more than 105 beats per minute.
Every day, i wake up, eat my breakfast and swallow my first set of 5 pills. And take the same amount for the following meals. I have online school, so i won't have people ask me constantly, " What cancer do you have? Is it hard carrying around your oxygen tank 24/7? Does your heart hurt all the time? What is it like to be in your situation?" Well here are my answers to those questions in that order:
- Heart cancer, very rare.
-It is difficult at times.
- Sometimes.
-Most of the time, it sucks.
