Don't go

Chapter 7

Alex's POV

Hey, I'm Alex

I'm ten years old and I have dark brown hair. I like to play soccer and my favorite subject is gym (of course)

I have many friends in life.

But no one is compared to Leslie.

She's funny, kind, loves to draw, and there's no denying that she's pretty.

But most of all she's my best friend. I vist her whenever I can. It's cause she has Heart Cancer. Leslie's mom is a nurse, and as a nurse she tries to find the best doctor to cure her. Some of them cost too much money or in there far away.

When i first discovered she had cancer. I was crushed, how can a girl like her, have cancer.

When Leslie first discovered this she cried and cried and cried. She would sometimes cry herself to sleep. I was always with her along the way.

Many of my friends feel sorry for her. some even tease her. The ones who tease her always think that I'm with her only because I feel pity for her. And that's not true.

It's probably a good thing that she doesn't go to my school, so she doesn't have to hear all that nonsense.

I'm with her along the way because she's my friend. She's special.Because she is somehow different from everyone else

At one point, I thought i had feelings for her... not sure if this is normal or not. But she see's me as a best friend. And that's how far our relationship with will be.

Anyway, her other major problem: she's having trouble with living her (short) life.

I take her with me outside almost everywhere. But she can't go out much. So we eat pizza and ice cream. Not exactly healthy cause I have soccer practice most of the time but, it's worth it being with her.

My point is, she keeps thinking, and thinking about death. It's pretty obvious she's thinking about it when she stares at the ceiling and muttering about some thing I hear.

Did i mention she likes to draw? Yeah. She drew a picture of herself as an angel being next to her dad in heaven surrounded by puffy white clouds. She hid the paper in one of her drawers so i accidentally found it.

I'm mad at God or Jesus most of the time. The fact that Leslie is gonna die is horrible. Mom says never get mad at them, but how can you not if she's gonna die!

Life is unfair, especially to Leslie as such a young age
