A fictional disease where one sided love causes you to cough or vomit flowers because of a plant growing in your lungs. As a result of this plant, it will soon block off your breathing and you will die from suffocation.


It started once I woke up. I should've been getting ready for school but I had a terrible cough. I coughed, and coughed, and coughed, until a flower petal came out. It looked like a cherry blossom petal, the way the pinkness softened the room. I shook it off, thinking I must of inhaled it when I was walking home yesterday.

I got up and got ready for a regular school day. Brushed my teeth, got dressed in something casually comfortable, and packed my bag.

As I got to school I went to go say hi to Kevin but he was talking with someone. At this point I stopped seeing who it was, just so I could save myself the pain. I went to my locker and Zack arrived right next to me. "Hey Jess!" I smiled at him and continued to put my books that I took home for homework, back into the locker. "So did you study for English?" I sighed and shoved the last of my shit into my locker.

"No I fucking forgot."

"That's fine I'll give you the answers since it's my next class." I smiled at him.

"Thank you."

"So where's Kevin?" I couldn't help but notice his small scoff in his question. I just shrugged my shoulders and I felt my cough coming again. I excused myself and he nodded, walking over to Karla and William who were already chatting. I raced to the bathroom and coughed in front of the mirror until a few pedals came out. Okay... that's weird.

I tried not to panic as I rushed over to Karla and took her arm. William and Zack looked at me confused but I didn't care as I ran into the bathroom again.

"What? Are you okay?!" Her face was filled with concern.

"I don't know. So I woke up this morning and coughed out a fucking flower pedal. And now I coughed out three."

"A flower pedal?" I pointed to the trash where I threw them and she stood their looking at them. "This is a weird joke..."

"It's not a joke! I'm being serious!"

She paused and sighed, "well that's a weird ass thing. Did you like inhale a fucking cherry tree branch?"
