I sat in my bedroom, just staring at the pale walls.
I dangled my feet from the ground, since I was pretty short for my age.
Suddenly, I heard my bedroom door open and my mom appeared.
"Time for another checkup." My mom said.
Knowing exactly what she meant, I stood up and walked past her.
The thing is, I was just at the doctors last week.
Actually, I've been going there for an entire month.
And that's because...
I'm Maya hart. I'm 16 years old and I got diagnosed with cancer.
The only people that know are my mom , my best friend Riley, and Riley's parents.
I'm too scared to tell anyone else... Especially my boyfriend. Lucas friar.
We got into the car and headed to the doctors office.
Once we got there, I observed the surroundings. Everything still looked the same as last week.
We got out of the car and walked up to the main office.
We sat in the waiting room for a few minutes and I played with my fingers, looking down at chair.
A lady then came out and called me into a room.
They weighed me and measured my height, all the usual checkup stuff.
Once I got into the room, my heart jumped as I saw some shots equipment. (A/N I have no idea what it is like to test for cancer so this is just made up)
"Hi Maya, take a seat." Dr brown said, smiling at me.
I jumped up on the table and watched as mrs brown looked at her computer.
She then turned to me, "we just gotta do a few tests on you, this'll be quick and easy."
Hiding the resist to sigh aloud, I nodded.
I was tired of people saying quick and easy.
Cancer wasn't quick and easy. I guess they were just trying to make me feel better.
Mrs Brown was now looking at the results on the computer and her expression looked troubled.
After a few minutes, mrs brown took my mom out of the room to talk to her.
This made me very nervous, what could possibly be wrong?
I closed my eyes and tried thinking of happy thoughts.
I heard the door open and I opened my eyes to see my mom alone.
Her expression seemed sad and her eyes looked puffy and red.
I stood up slowly. "Mom.. What's wrong?"
She took a deep breath. "I'll tell you at home. Let's go."
We walked out of the doctors office, no more words said.
-an hour later-
I glanced down at my cell phone, about to press "send"
Me: can you come over? I need to tell you something...
I finally pressed send and it sent to Lucas.
I wiped some tears that tried to come out and set my phone down. I'm staying strong.
Lucas deserves to be the first one to know.
A couple minutes later, my phone beeped.
Lucas: I'll be right over.
I slowly got up from my bed and changed into my lazy clothes.
Sitting on my bed cross legged, I thought out the conversation in my head.
I imagined Lucas's reaction. He is gonna be devastated. I already had to watch my mom cry, I don't want Lucas to because of me.
I heard the doorbell ring and I assume that my mom answered it.
About a minute later, Lucas came in my bedroom.
Knowing it was serious, he sat down on the bed next to me and rubbed my shoulders. "Hey."
I took a deep breath and turned talking but no words came out.
Lucas continued to rub my shoulders. "Maya please tell me..."
I looked at him in the eyes, tears starting to form.
"I have cancer..." I said quietly.
Immediately, Lucas pulled me into a hug and we just stayed like that for a few minutes.
Lucas's hugs always made me feel warm and safe.
I tightened the hug and slowly said. "Lucas I only have three months to live..."
Lucas slowly let go of the hug and looked at me in the eyes. "What??"
I then choked out some tears. "Why me?? Why is this happening to me??"
Lucas wiped the tears from my eyes, "I don't know, but I'm gonna make these three months the best in your life."
"You promise?" I sniffled.
"Promise."
