Having cancer sucks, mom. I'm sick of staying in the hospital. I wanna go home. I know, Layla. I want you to come home too, but you're just to sick to leave. Can the doctors do anything about it, I asked. I don't know, sweety.

Alright miss Kayla, we are going to scan you and see what kind of cancer you have, said Dr. Perry. I hate having cancer. I have to stay in the hospital, I barely get to see my family, and I never get to see my friends anymore. I just want this cancer to go away so I can go home. Ok now that your scan is done we are going to do some research and then we'll talk to your mom, said Dr. Perry.

After about an hour, my mom walks in the room and she looks like she has been punched in the stomach. Hey honey, I need to tell you something. Mom, what's wrong? Kayla, sweety, you have blood cancer. When I heard my mom say that, my heart started to thump really fast and I started to sweat like crazy. What? No, no, this can't be happening! I burst into tears and I couldn't stop thinking about it. I'm so sorry, Kayla, mom said. She came over and gave me a big hug and we sat there for a little while in silence.
