Leslie's POV
•••••••••••••••••••••
Hi.
I'm Leslie.
I'm a 9 year old girl.
But there's something different
about me.
I have Cancer. Heart Cancer.
I have a mommy and a big sister
named Ashley.
I love both of them.
Mommy comes whenever she can.
She's a nurse.
Ashley.
I love her too.
With all my heart.
Even though my heart isn't
working right.
She takes care of me.
That's a lot of pressure for a 13
year old, no?
Oh! I almost forgot
I love Alex too.
But not that Iky love where people
kiss.
Eww. -.-
I'm too small for that.
He's just a year older than me.
Which means he's 10.
We joke around a lot on how my
home school teacher looks funny
on all of the silly dresses she wears.
He makes me forget about sad
things.
Like on Death.
At least I'm going to be with Daddy.
I love him too.
Even though he died when I was 5.
What a scary death he had.
Died in a car.
And guess who was with him?
Me.
"Leslie..." he once said out loud
while driving the car real fast.
"Oh no! The brake! it doesn't work.
Leslie you have your seat belt on,
right?" he asked quickly at me.
He looked at the wide mirror on top
of the car. I never understood what
was that for. To see if your hair was
okay, I guess.
Suddenly daddy said,
"I Love You"
Then
BOOM!!!
The glass exploded and the car hit
a big tree.
I slowly took out my seat belt and
crawled over to daddy.
He sat back at his seat with blood all
over his face.
From the top of his head, all the way
to his chin and down.
I slowly moved my hand from the
pain. While stroking Daddy's face,
tears ran down my cheek.
"Daddy..." I whispered desperately to
him. "Daddy, stop playing with me.
Wake up daddy. Please daddy, I
know your just sleeping and playing
with me that you died." I laughed
silently hoping he was playing
With both of my hands I
shook his head "Daddy-daddy-" and
now I began to sob "Daddy wake up,
daddy wake up, daddy wake up!
Daddy!!!''
Suddenly everything in my vision
started to go dark.
Blank.
and just like that, everything
dissapeared right before my eyes.
