Octavia:
   I sat in my hospital room alone. I had a roommate who I grew close with. He had the same disease I have. He passed away 2 days ago and the thought in my head lured. I am next. I have a special kind of brain cancer that is suppose to kill me. I just have to hope I can live my life a little first. I’m only 15 and I just lost my best friend to the same cancer. They are bringing a new girl in soon. Wait scratch that she’s coming in now. I smile at the girl and she smiles back. She is a beautiful blond with bright blue eyes. The doctors get her settled in then leave. “Hi.” She says to me. I look at her and smile “Hey.” I wonder why she is here. I learned not to ask that question. “So...What do you have?” She asks me. I look up at her in surprise. “It’s a cancer. It’s in my brain… what about you?” I ask unsure if it came off rude. “I have a brain cancer also, but it isn’t to fatal...they caught it early.” She says smiling. I smile back “I wish they caught mine early...maybe I would be out of here.” I say looking at the ground. “How long have you been here?” She asks. “Well on and off for 7 years but I’ve been in this room for 6 months.” I say with a sigh. “Wow...I’m sorry...what’s your name?” She asks. “Octavia...you?” I answer. “Clarke. Nice to meet you.” She says. I smile at her and she smiles at me.

Clarke:
   I was so glad to meet someone in the hospital. She seems nice. She has dark brown hair with hazelish green eyes. She wore a red ribbon in her hair and a decorative hospital gown proving that she had been here a while. “SO what do you like to do here?” I ask looking around. It seems pretty boring. “Well we have the TV and we get to go into other hospital rooms to talk to other patients but most of the time I would just talk to my friend Lincoln that is until…” She stopped talking and looked to the ground. She looked like she would bust out into tears. “I understand...My dad died from cancer not to long ago.” I say. She looks up at me and smiles slightly. She was a beautiful girl...and because I am bisexual I see her in a different way. “Well maybe we can become close friends.” I say to her. “I would like that.” She says smiling back.
Octavia:
    My brother came in and I looked to him “Hi bell!!” I say excitedly. “Look! I have a new roommate!” I smile and look to Clarke. “Her name is Clarke.” Bellamy looks to Clarke and waves. “Welcome. I’m her brother. It’s nice to meet you.” Bellamy says. He looks to me and says “Hey, you feeling alright?” I tried to hide it all but I was feeling awful. It was one of my what we call bad days. I look to Bellamy and say “No.” Bellamy nods “Do you feel like you are going to throw up?” He asks. I shake my head “Not yet.” I look to Clarke who looked worried. Bellamy gets up and says “I’ll see what doctor Lew can do for you.” I nod and watch him walk away. I get a weird feeling so I stand up and walk around the room. “Octavia, how long have you had this cancer?” Clarke asks. I look to her and say “About 8 years.” Her eyes widen. I get a sharp pain in my head and know exactly what is coming. I put my hand over my head and try to make it to the bed. As I get close I feel everything get blurry. “Octavia? Are you okay?” I here faintly. I couldn’t answer. I reach for the bed and fall.

Clarke:
  As I watch her fall my heart drops. She starts seizing. I hop out of my bed and run to her. “Octavia? Octavia can you hear me?!” I say not knowing what to do. “Someone help!!” I yell. Her brother runs in and I look up at him tears in my eyes. “I don’t know what happened I-” He cuts me off. “It’s okay this happens a lot. Nurse!” He yells. He throws a pillow under her head and flips her onto her side. I stare in shock. The nurse runs in and says “You did good Bellamy. We just have to wait.” Bellamy nods and looked at Octavia. A few seconds later she stops seizing and lays unconscious. “Okay, get her on the bed and I will have dr. Lew come in to check her out.” The nurse says. Bellamy nods and puts Octavia on the bed. I walk over next to him. “Will she be okay?” I ask. Bellamy smiles down “She will...you did good calling for help.” He says to me. I nod and look at Octavia covered in sweat and pale. She definitely had it bad. I was determined to make her stay comfortable and happy. I had to plus...I had a crush.
