Evangeline's P.O.V

I'm Evangeline Winters, a sixteen year old girl that has cancer which will most probably never go away. I have browny/blacky hair that goes down to my waist, a few piercings and I only wear band tees, skinny jeans and beanies.

I never had any friends through out my school life, I was the kid that no one liked because I was 'different'.

My cancer has led me to a lot of serious problems like self harm, suicide and depression, that's why I go to a support group every Monday and Friday at my local church. Where I met my best friend Makalea Smith. She has been through the same things as me and we also like the same bands, our two favourite bands are My Chemical Romance and Black Veil Brides.

I currently live in an apartment with Kalea because our parents couldn't handle us apparently, so to pay for the hospital fees we both work at two jobs. We both work at Kerrang! Magazine and we both work at the local Starbucks.

I was diagnosed with my cancer two years ago on my fourteenth birthday, it all started when I fainted after I took a small bite of my birthday cake. My parents took me to the hospital, when they found out I had cancer they left and never came back. I had to live at my grandmas house until I decided to move out and find somewhere to live myself. My grandma meant so much to me, she helped me through a lot and on Christmas Day she passed away, so I never celebrate the holiday anymore.

I guess you could say I've had a depressing life so far.

Kaela's P.O.V

My name is Makaela Smith. I am 16 years old and have long, waist length, light pink hair, snake bites and I wear band merch, leggings and occasionally beanies. I was diagnosed with lung and brain cancer 2 years ago. My parents abandoned me when they found out because they thought that they wouldn't be able to handle having a cancer patient in their house, they said I'd be too needy and demanding.

I was bullied heavily in school. This lead to various suicide attempts on various occasions, and left behind many scars. I still self-harm to this day, for other reasons. But the one person who I can trust the most always helps me through it, that person is my best friend Evangeline Winters. She is my rock, and without her, I'd be dead.

Because of my cancer and depression, the doctors enrolled me into a support group in church, its pretty shit. All they teach you is how God will heal you and you don't need to rely on anyone but God. I don't mean to sound rude, but if God was on my side, I wouldn't be in this position. The only good thing about this support group is that it is where I met Evangeline, or Evan, as I call her. She's fucking awesome.

I like bands such as My Chemical Romance and Black Veil Brides. They are my two favourites, I'd give anything to meet them. I think I may use my Make-A-Wish on it. I think Evan is planning on doing that too! So that's... something to look forward too, I guess?

Anyway, at the moment, I'm living with Evan in a small but cute apartment, we're pretty short on money but we both have two jobs each, so I'm pretty sure we can get through with a little money to spare on other things we may want or need!

I've had a pretty crappy life so far but everything's pretty stable at the moment, when you're depressed, things are never perfect, but right now, they're as good as they'll get.
