Chapter One

Andrea's P.O.V

"Hi, I'm Andrea." I said to the small group that my mom made me come to.
"Hi Andrea." They said in sync.
"I'm 17 and I have Leukemia." I said, and sat back down. I hate coming to these small groups. They're boring. They don't help with anything that's been happening to me. I'm Andrea McMoore by the way. I've had cancer since I was 16. I basically live in this hospital. I come to these small groups because my doctor and my parents think I should. I have one older brother. He's 19. I'm really close to him, and he helps me with a lot of things. I have a terrible memory, but can you blame me? I used to be so happy about everything. I used to go to the mall every weekend with my friends. I used to be buoyant.

I hate how I have to put my parents into this mess. My parents used to be so untroubled, but now they quarrel all the time, and they have terrible dark circles under their eyes. I can't help but blame myself for all of their difficulties. They act so relaxed and nonchalantly around me. It makes me sick. I wish people would stop treating me like I have cancer. Yes, I know I have cancer, but I don't want to be treated different. It makes the situation worse than it is already. I wasn't supposed to last this long. The doctors were very amazed that I did survive this long, and so am I. I had surgery once as soon as I found out that I had cancer. I haven't had one since. It was probably the worst surgery ever. I was in so much agony afterward.

Before I know it Brad, our support group leader, told us it was time for us to leave. I stay there for a little bit like I normally do, just to avoid having to communicate with anyone.

I soon get up and began to stroll back to my room.

"Andrea." I heard Brad call.

I turn around to face Brad.

"Yes?" I ask.

"We're having special guest tomorrow in small group." He says with a big grin on his face.
Fantastic. More special guest. Just because the hospital bring special guest to meet us doesn't make everything okay.

"Cool." I say.

"Do you know the band 5 Seconds Of Summer?" He asks me with that stupid grin still on his face.

"I've heard of them." I say back, forcing a smile.

"Great. Hope to see you tomorrow, have a good night." He says, then walks away.

Does that mean 5 Seconds of Summer will be here tomorrow? This should be interesting.
I hate meeting these famous people. Last time we met Angelina Jolie. Don't get me wrong, she's amazing, but I hate how these people think having someone famous come visit us sick kids, will stop all the pain we're feeling. I'm sure it does make some kids happy, but I personally hate it. Call me a brat or whatever you want. I just want to stay in my hospital room all day and spend time with my parents.
Yeah I know, sounds weird, but I mean when you have absolutely no idea when you'll take your last breathe, you want to spend as much time with your loved ones as possible.

When I get back to my room I see my parents sleeping. I feel so bad. I wish they would go home.

"Mom, dad." I whisper.
My mom opens her eyes.

"Huh?" She says, obviously confused.

"You and dad should go home." I say.

"No, it's okay, we'll stay here with you." She says in her sleepy voice.

"Mom, seriously, you've been in those clothes for 3 days. I'm seventeen, I think I can handle staying alone for a couple days." I say.

"Are you sure?" She asks.

"As sure as I'll ever be." I tell her.

She gives me a warm smile before waking my father.

"Do you want us to come back?" She asks.

"Mom."

"Right. We'll visit tomorrow." She says as she pulls me into a warm embrace.

"I love you." My parents say in sync.

"Love you too." I smile at them.

They finally leave the room. I can't believe that worked. They normally never leave me alone. Like ever. Maybe they're just really tired of being here this time.

Maybe, I'm just really tired of being here.

HEY GUYS!
Well, FIRST UPDATE! I hope you guys enjoy my little book. I just want to give you all a heads up that I am very slow on updates & I normally just wing my updates, so sorry if they suck & sorry if some of it doesn't make sense, I update on my phone. I am in the process of making another book as well, if you want to check that out. It's a Luke Hemmings fanfic. It's called Unstable. That one isn't complete either, so I have to update on both books. & I get really caught up in school sometimes, so if I go missing, it's just school. lol. Anyway, I'll let you guys know my update plan ASAP. Thanks for reading the first chapter of Don't Forget!
Yours Truly,
Faith xx
