Don't go

Chapter 4

Leslie's POV

I walk down the stairs slowly, and I see the huge living room.

I layed down on the comfy couch and turned on the TV but somehow, I didn't seem to be interested in it.

'I'm gonna die one day' I thought to myself.

Dying seemes scary. Well it seems scary for everyone. But for me the most since I'm the one experience it.

You know what? I wish Cancer didn't even ever existed. Its just a thing helpless people have that make them die.

They say everything happens for a reason.

So what's my reason! I didn't deserve this, nobody does!

I felt my eyes drop. But I wasn't sleepy. I wasn't feeling drowsy. The doorbell rang and I struggled to get up. I didn't know what was happening to me. Am I dying?!?

No, that can't be. With all the might I slowly got out of the couch. The doorbell ranged again and I shouted,

"Wait up! I'm not fast. I'm just a regular girl with Cancer!"

I finally reached the door and I swinged it open.

Alex.

I saw his brightly smile to me and I returned the favor. But he saw my weak smile. I suddenly didn't have enough energy and I fell down on the carpet floor.

Alex quickly picked me up and my arm was over his shoulder and he walked me over to the couch

"Ashley!" he yelled upstairs putting me slowly on the couch.

In a minute Ashley came down quickly and looked at me. She went away and came back with the mask. Oxygen.

She put it on me and I breathed it. It gave me more energy.

I looked at Alex who was sitting down on his knees next to me. I smiled at him "Don't worry, I'm not gonna die yet" he grined until he frowed when I said 'yet'

Well it was true!

All day, me and Alex watched Cartoons and laughed and ate home made pizza and Ice Cream.

"Hey, Leslie" he suddenly said 

"Yeah?"

"Don't think about dying. Okay?"

I stayed quiet for a few seconds until I said,

"Why not? it is gonna happen to me. one day..."

''Exactly! 'One day!' So spend the rest of your life not worrying and just be happy that you are living right now!'' he says

I just look down not facing him and I put a spoonful full of ice cream in my mouth.

He sighs and says, "I'm sorry. it's just that you always think about it. I know you do. I know it's gonna happen but I just want you to forget about that..."

"Alright" I say smiling at him, just so he could be happy

I playfully punch his arm which made him drop his spoonful of ice cream on him. He looks at me and says, "What was that for?"

"For caring"

"Well why wouldn't I?"

"I don't know... Why?"

He blushes and says,

"Just because"

"Well your a true friend"
