I am worried about Leah. Bad things happen when she is feeling mad. I don't want her to repeat the dark phase she went through when she was first diagnosed with leukemia. I tried reaching out to her, tried comforting her, but she pushed everyone away. She would take days off of school, a few times she was away for a week. She started shutting down, spiraling deeper and deeper into the black void of depression. She thought she was going to die. We all tried to convince her that she would survive, but she wouldn't listen. Perhaps we were telling ourselves that she would live. Everyone believes it. Everyone except me.
No one lives through leukemia. It just doesn't happen. The sickness spreads throughout the entire body, killing, destroying. She is going to die someday. It's a fact. I've accepted it. But she has to believe that she will live. And I want to spend every moment with her. Because one of the best things in life is friendship. And Leah is good. She deserves the best.
I don't want her to die. I want her to grow old, fall in love. I want her to fall in love with me, but I doubt that will happen. She is straight, I am not. I am deaf. I am mute. I could never tell her. I could never explain.
I don't want Leah to die. Don't take her. Please.
Please.
