I woke not feeling good I have bad days but never this bad. The doctor gave me an iv and I was in testing all day. I came back and there was jug with a small teddy bear he wore a mask. " hey " I waved

" hey betty I heard you were sick "

" mmm "

" I got you this teddy bear hope to make you feel better "

" aww thanks "

" i got to go I can't catch your sickness but get better soon " he kissed my forehead though the mask. I smiled and he left.

" see you made a friend "

" he so sweet "

" feeling any better "

" I have this teddy bear from juggie I feel all better " I snuggled with it.

" he seems like a sweet boy "

" mhm "

" pumpkin you gotta couple more tests "

" but mommy I'm tired "

" we gotta make sure your okay sweetheart " I nodded

" do I get to hold my teddy bear "

" it's a blood test so sure " they drew my blood and gave me more fluids. I laid in my blankets holding the bear. " mommy I'm tired of this hospital I wanna go home "

" bug you got to get better to go home "

" I hate it here " I cried my mom hugged me

" I'm sorry bug "

"I never got to be normal "

" but your not normal " it was jug " the doctor said I could visit your not contagious "

" hey "

" where's the happy you I know and love "He sat by my feet.

" I want to be happy I just can't "

" why "

" I want to be normal and go to school and have sleepovers and go to movies but I'm always stuck here "

" but school isn't fun they bully you and try to tear you down but in here they can't do that because everyone in here understands you get pudding and a big variety of food you can watch any movie you want and you have sleepovers here every night "

" that's not the same "

" Im out of motivation "

" how do you know what schools "

" I went to school up till last year "

" but you told me you knew about cancer since before school like me "

" I don't have good parents they didn't want to deal with me so they put it off until I collapsed at school and I've been here under a lot a pills since "

" when was the last time you saw your parents "

" last year they don't like me much so they make me stay here every day and my little sister is like an only child to them "
