We sit side by side in class as the teacher goes on and on about historical events.
Riley and I sit beside each other in the back row. We have our desks scooted close to each other while I sit beside him, holding his hand and resting my head on his shoulder.
"Babe?" He looks over at me while I sleep on his shoulder. He rolls his eyes and whispers, "I love you", and kisses my head gently.
The bell rings and I wake up jumping from fear so much I fall out of my chair and Riley looks over and laughs so hard he falls out of his too. "What are you laughing at?" I say and lightly punch his shoulder. "You, duh." I roll my eyes and he sits up and helps me to my feet. "Thank you, Love," I say with a smile on my face as he returns the smile.
He drives me home and we sit, singing along to our favorite songs. As we pull up to my driveway, I thank him for the ride then give him a quick kiss goodbye and go inside. As I go inside I hear my mum humming in the kitchen. I smile, go into the kitchen, and kiss her on the cheek to tell her I'm home. There are pots and pans scattered everywhere and the air smells like my favorite meal, shrimp scampi.
I walk up the long staircase and enter my bedroom door where I practically live. I turn on music, by Maroon 5, then turn on Sponge Bob and start on my homework. "Ugh, I hate calculus homework!" I sit and do my work for about 30 minutes until I hear mum yell, "Dinners ready, go wash up!" I run into the bathroom and wash my hands. I use Orchid scented soap and wash my hands under the room temperature water.
I quickly dry my hands and happily walk downstairs to get some food. As I get into the kitchen, all the sudden I start coughing and I collapse to the floor. My mum rushes over and calls an ambulance to come pick me up.
As we wait for the ambulance to come, I stop breathing. When they get to our house they rush in and I am laid on a medical cot, pushed out the door and lifted into the ambulance.
I could hear the sirens going off as I lay there, helpless and weak. They put a breathing mask over me so and I start to breathe again. My lips where blue and I could have died from lack of air. I look around and see my mum sitting beside the cot with a very scared look on her face. I hate seeing my mum upset.
As we arrive at the hospital, my vision starts to get blurry. I hear voices around me echoing and saying things like "you're gonna be ok." And "stay with us, Ma'am." Next thing I know, I wake up in the hospital with all these tubes inside me.
I see my mum sitting next to me with a worried look on her face. I reach out to hold her hand and say, "It's ok Mum, I'm fine. Please don't be scared, this has happened before and you know it." "Well ever since you were diagnosed with cancer I can't help but get scared that's it's the last time I'm with you." I sigh in frustration because I know she's right but I need to stay optimistic about my life or I won't live it to it's fullest.
The doctor walked in about a minute later to give us some information on what happened, "Miss Medford? I'm sorry to say but you have been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. You only have about a month to live, Miss..."

Romance"Katie, what happened?" I see a look of sadness in his eyes and I knew that I had no choice but to tell him. "I have lung cancer," I said with a lump in my throat. "W-what? What do you mean you have cancer? Why was I never told?!" He said with a tea...
