Kirsten's pov

I awoke in the hospital room I recognized as my own. The superman jacket was sitting beside me and a picture on my family drawn by my 7 yr old sister was hanging on the wall. On the dresser, beside the TV, sat a ton of get well soon cards. I don't even know how they get here but whenever I awake there is more. I have only been here a week and I have gone through 4 or 5 operations... I couldn't even keep count anymore. My head began throbbing badly and a painful memory of me falling and blacking out appeared in my mind... Did I just awake from another surgery? I looked beside me to check my head in the mirror, but instead of the mirror, something else caught my eye. Louis.

Oh my goodness what the hell was he doing here. Maybe if I was lucky he didn't know it was me. Then I remembered, I was going to tell him... Did I tell him and I'm just not remembering... You know I don't even care anymore.

Suddenly I watched as his eyes flew open. Shit. He stared at me blanky and then a sly smile formed on his face. "Krissy? You okay?" He asked concerningly. Okay that was a check mark next to, yes he knew. Great.

"I'm fine I think... But how did you find me." I asked shyly.

"Ok my dear tomato princess, I'm your best friend, you can't hide anything from ol' Lou bear." He smiled.

He stood up and encased me in a warm hug. He smelled like vanilla, but in an ocean breeze kinda way... Mixed with some holister. When he pulled away the warmness receded and I shivered. "You cold? Here" he said handing me the superman sweats. Right before handing it to me he took a good look at it. "Is this mine?" He questioned.

I stifled a laugh and nodded my head. He smiled and I slipped it over my head. The doctor came in.

"Hello Kirsten how are you feeling?" He asked.

I smiled and nodded my head, reassuring him I felt okay.

He smiled. "We'll I bring you good and bad news..." He frowned.

I swallowed hard and looked at my hands.

"We will start with the good news." He said, "We were able to remove the tumor."

I smiled in delight, so happy! Now I'm curious to how there is bad news.

"Now, do you remember before your surgery, I came in and told you that the tumor was seeping into your brain?" He asked.

"Err yah I remember." I said sadly.

"We'll that just keeps spreading. Since its inside of your brain there is seriously nothing we can do to stop it." He frowned, then continued. "We are able to put you on a drug to make the process very slow, but as much as it hurts to admit this, You will die. It could be at anytime between right this second... And a few months, possibly but rarely longer."

I couldn't believe my ears. Was he telling the truth. I couldn't even respond to that so I sat there inco pelted sense.

"We are going to keep you in here for 2 more days and watch how you react to the drug, making sure you respond well. We are also going to do a test right before you leave to show you the spreading." He informed me.

I nodded my head. "I have a question, how can a tumor spread into my brain if its a solid thing?"

"Great question. The toxins that cause tumors and cancer and bad stuff is spreading, so basicay the tumor isn't spreading its the cancerous toxins that are.

I frowned now I know for sure death was awaiting me. My life is going to end in a matter of time. I am going to have to live the rest of my life and make it count. I am only 17 why the hell do I have to be cursed with this awful greed.
