I was sitting next to my window seal while I was watching my dad mow the lawn. I was thinking why wasnt I mowing the lawn for my dad? but then I remembered I have lung cancer.
6 months ago I had gotten diagnosed with lung cancer. I was so depressed I could barely get out of bed to go to the bathroom. I still am depressed but not as much as the first time I got diagnosed.
Most people dont know what its like having cancer.... they know its hard but some people just dont know how hard.
but anyway when my dad was done with mowing the lawn, my mom and dad had both come up stairs to my bright, purple colored room that had smelled like cinnamon. They had brought me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, my favorite, to try and make me feel better.
I didnt know what to say.
" thank you " I said
they both started to walk out of the door way, then my mom stopped and turned to me.
"Sammi you cant just sit here and do nothing with your life" and she turned around and walked away.
I ran up to her and I turned her around and gave her a hug. she look at me and she smiled really big. I started to feel better already. but in an emotional way.
I went downstairs into the living room, I turned on the TV and turned it onto my favorite show, spongebob squarepants,
I love that show, I have liked it since I was about 4 years old. My dad came in and sat down next to me
i got up and walked trying to avoid a conversation about cancer.
I went out side and got into my red 2004 dodge challenger I had gotten for my 16th birthday, I sat there for a minute thinking of where I should go. Then it came to me that I am gonna go to my friend, Morgan's house.
I started my car, I started to back out of the drive way when suddenly I heard a loud crashing sound. I looked behind me and I saw I had ran over the trash bins. I got out of the car and moved them to the side. I got back in my car and drove to Morgan's house.
Her house was just around the block. But that is too much for me to walk until I have problems with my breathing.
I got to her house. I got out of the car, walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. Morgan's mom answered the door.
"Hello is Morgan home?" I asked
" sorry she went to the library to study" she said
she closed the door and I walked back to my car and sat down trying to catch my breathe. I started my car after a minute and started to drive to the library.
I arrived at the library, as I parked my car I saw morgan walk out of the library with a guy I have never seen before. He had short ginger hair and the tips were black, he jad black skinny jeans on that sagged, and he had a black dress shirt on with a blue and green tie. He was sexy!
They were holding hands. so I was assuming they were dating. she reached up put her arms over his shoulders and kissed him.
Morgan and I are best friends and we tell eachother everything so I was surprised to see her with a guy and not tell me about him.
I drove away frustrated. I thought to myself, why didnt she tell me about this? we are best friends I thought we told eachother everything.
I got home and went into the kitchen to eat some chicken noodle soup that my mom had made for dinner. I didnt really like chicken noodle soup but, I was starved.
by the time I was done eating it was 8:30 P.M. and I was exhausted.
I went up stairs got into my pajamas and went into bed.
I woke up the next morning at 6:00 A.M. which was pretty early to me. I went down stairs where I found a piece of paper on the fridge that had said
" I will be gone all week with your dad, we are going to be in utah taking care of your grandma. love , mom "
I was thinking, Why would she do this to me? why would she leave me home all alone for a week? what if something bad happens?
I saw you there was $300 on the table. I assumed that was for me for food. I was also thinking, Why are they going to utah in the middle of july to help grandma? why not wait until september?
oh well that was their choice.
