Kian hasn't passed by these past couple of days since it was the weekend, so he was off duty from doing any favors for Dr. Flora.

My parents just called me to notify me how much they've missed me and that they hope I'm doing well.
I've just been alone in this room, which feels like I'm trapped in some sort of jail cell.
I was informed of unpleasant news the other day by Dr. Flora and she told me that the cancer had traveled to my lungs, and that's known as Metastatic Osteosarcoma.
Now it's challenging to breathe normally, and I begin to cough blood at times. The other nurses were required to apply a tube around my nose and add oxygen into it since I'm now having issues with my breathing.
Simultaneously, my bones continue to ache, and my head aches increase throughout the day.
I'm feeling the torment fall upon me, and I just need a friend beside me to accompany me. I need my mom. I need my dad. Ridiculously, I need Kian.
All I feel is feelings of anguish as I contemplate my life and my moments in this room.
Today is a Sunday in October.
The leaves are a crispy golden brown and red and the sky is painted with dark shades of grey.
Currently, I'm watching the leaves pass by my window and they pursue to lay gently on the ground and then fly away.
Some of the leaves remain on the ground and form massive piles of orange and amber colors. The fall foliage must be starting now, which is probably one of my favorite times of the year since the views from my window are comforting.
I imagine myself jumping into one of those leaf piles and feeling an increase of serotonin as I look up into the bright sky filled with dreamy white clouds. I would be able to take big refreshing breaths and smell the saccharine scent of leaves on the trees.
The wind would blow on my face, and everything would feel so perfect as if it were a dream. Ironically, it is a dream in my situation.

As I stare at my window, the time passes slowly, yet fast.
Fast meaning, I might have very little time left to live.
