I spun around and saw Cameron kissing another girl. He stops and his eyes land on mine. I sprint out of the restaurant and hear Cameron running after me yelling my name. I keep running and speed up. I run home and remember I didn't have my key. Amy did. I turn around and see Cameron coming closer.

I run around the back of the house and open the back door since I left it unlocked yesterday.

"Alex, let me explain" he yells entering the backyard.

"Explain what! Explain that you left the table to kiss some girl."

"Look, Alex, I only kissed Alyssa-"

"You know her name. Thanks for everything Cameron. I just thought my life was actually turning around. I finally met someone who cared about me. I finally had something to wake up to in the morning. I didn't think about dying for once. I guess I was wrong maybe I should give up, Cameron. You wouldn't care. No one would."

"What do you mean..." He says softly walking closer but still on the grass while I'm on the porch, I can see he's about to cry. Tears are flowing out of my eyes.

"For once in my life I thought someone cared. I was so wrong. My whole life I had just been pushed aside but there was so much more truth to that story. Since I was ten there was a disease taking over my body, Cameron. I didn't want people to know because I don't want sympathy. Only Amy and my dad know. My mom died of Cancer. I've always just been the one who no one cares about. Like my life has no meaning. No one cared. I tried so hard. My dad saw me struggling and that's the whole reason why I came to Magcon. He wanted me happy. I wish I never came. I wish my mom was hear. You don't understand how hard this is." I pause and take of my wig. " I have cancer, Cameron"
