Its hard to believe in love

The drive

    "Wake up sweetie" My mom says to me walking through my room.

     I look at my phone it says 5:00 am. Urgh. So I get up and get dressed in some jeans and a t-shirt. I put a jacket on a grab some headphones. I open my door and walk down stairs.

      "morning sweetie" my mom tells me.

      "morning mom, what time are we leaving?" I ask her.

    " Well your appointment is at nine thirty and it usually almost takes three hours to get there. So we will leave in half hour" She tells me and I nod my head.

    I poor my cinnamon toast crunch in a bowl. I grab myself a spoon and poor my milk. Then I sit down and start eating when my step dad walks in.

   "Hey rotten" Doug says.

   "Hey dad" I say because sometimes I call him doug sometimes I call him dad.

  You see my real dad isn't in my life. He doesn't deserve to be. He's an alcoholic and cares more about his beer then me. Dougs the only dad I know right now. He's the one whos been here and paid for my needs and wants. He's my father figure.

    "Don't forget to take medicine" my mom says. Urgh.

    "Did you test your blood sugar?" Doug ask.

  I drop my spoon and run to my bag and get out my meter.

   " oops" I say.

    "next time your grounded" mom says.

   So I unzip my case and open my bottle of test strips and put it in my meter. I then grab my poker and put a new needle in it and I push the button and it pokes my finger. I squeeze it amd blood comes out and I put it on the test strip. My meter reads 411 uh oh.

    "What is it?" My mom ask.

     "four hundred eleven" I say.

   "Why is it so high?"  she ask.

    " Because I have a none working pancreas. " I say.

     "Take extra medicine with breakfast and don't be rude" she tells me.

     "ya, okay" I say heading to my cereal again.

     I finish my cereal and head to my diabetic bag. I pull out my insulin pin and put a needle cap on it, I dial it up and put the needle in my arm and push down the dial. I take it out and put it back in my bag taking off the needle.

     "you guys ready to leave" I ask as they finish there coffee.

    "Yup lets get heading out" Doug says.

  So I walk out the kitchen with my stuff grabbing my book then I walk through and then the front room amd out the front door. I walk to the car and open the door and hop in the back seat.

   My mom and doug gets in and my mom put the car in drive. I put my ear phones in and listen to my mp3 player on my phone. Something hits my leg.

     "huh" I say taking out one of my headphones.

    "I said, did you take extra medicine?" my mom ask.

    "ya" I lie. oops I forgot.

Its not like I asked for diabetes. I just got it. Its incurable and its not my fault I have it. Type one is the worse type of diabetes. Its usually inherited and type one is not your fault. plus type one you have to take insulin for.

    I put my earphone back in my ear and press play again. I listen to spring by Tanya Tucker. Then this means war starts playing so I hume along to it.

    clime into the ring

for a battle that you can't win.

swing as hard as you can swing

it will still mean nothin

  should've seen it comin

   something taps me.

   "ya?" I say talking out an ear phone again.

    "Do you have enough insulin?" my mom ask.

   "yes" I say gritting my teeth.

  I put my earphone back in amd lay my head back onto the seat. I slowly fall asleep.

   I wake up to someone taking my earphones out.

    "wake up we are almost there" doug tells me.

    I yawn and stretch out my arms. "How much longer?"

   "bout five minutes" my mom says.

    "mkay" I say.

   Wow I slept a lot. oopsie. We drive a little more and we pull up to the children's hospital.

    we pull into the lot where people come to go park your care. I get out grabbing my stuff and walk into the hospital. Oh joy.

   Soon my mom and doug follow and come inside.

    "welp we best be walkin down to my section" I say being my weird self.

    "yuppers" my mom says.

   My step dad just looks at us both like we are crazy.
