So here I am, face to face with death. I'm not really scared but more shocked that this was happening right now. What now? Will I finally be able to see mom again? Is my death going to be instant? Dying sure was not on my list of things to do today. Looking at the bright side, I don't have to take out the trash anymore. Speaking of trash, what's that awful stench?

I just hope that whoever she ends up taking part in a serious relationship with takes care of her for me.

Okay, this is really taking too long. I am actually hoping this process speeds up. How does a teenager get into this position in the first place?
