Three weeks later... 

        "Are you sure you'll be okay alone? I can take another day off" My mom said for the fiftieth time today.

        "Yes mom I'll be fine." I say, slightly annoyed.

        She gives me a kiss on my forehead and says goodbye. I didn't want my mom to go back to work honestly, but I knew that she had to. She can't be babysitting me all day and shes loves her job. We live in a small town in Florida, called Gulfport, but she works in a city about thirty minutes away at Legler & Flynn as an attorney. She usually works with small cases, but when she gets a big case she gets so happy. I love to see my mom happy, it makes my day. She deserves to be happy. She shouldn't have to deal with me. All the stress, all bills, and so much more for seventeen years.  I'm glad, in a way, that this became terminal. After I die, that's when my mom will start truly living.

        Staying home all day was actually really boring. It's the end of the school year so everyone was busy studying for final exams, which means Tumblr was dead. I don't go to regular school; I take online classes due to all my hospital visits. Since I've had a lot of free time, I completed this year already. I finished American Horror Story on Netflix and now had nothing to do. I started drawing random things in my notebook, then I had the idea to make a bucket list. If I'm going to die, better to have fun while I can instead of being in my room all day. 

My Bucket list:

1. go in a hot air balloon

2. get my belly button pierced 

3. go zip lining

4. go skydiving

5. donate blood

6. learn to surf

7. go camping

8. learn to play a musical instrument 

9. swim with the dolphins

10. get a tattoo

        I knew half of these things wouldn't happen-- actually probably none of these things would happen. But it's something to keep me busy. 

        By then it was past five pm. Hopefully my Tumblr feed is better. I logged on and I had so many notifications; mostly from my internet best friend, Christie. I tell her everything that goes on in my life, including how my cystic fibrosis became terminal. Just then I got a text from her:

        Renee, I hope everything goes well with you, but I'm going through some really rough times and this is just one more thing to worry about. I'm sorry but I'm going to stay on the DL for a little. Talk to you later? xoxo Christie

        Great my only friend just left me. I didn't know what to think. Christie's been my friend for years. I just sat there in shock for a second. I picked up my notebook and added one more thing into my bucket list:

11. make a friend

7pm

        "Hey, sweetie. What do you want for dinner?" My mom tiredly asks.

        "Mmm nothing, I'm not that hungry. I've been eating a lot of junk food today."

        "What's wrong, honey?" She sounded worried.

        I quickly changed the subject, "Nothing. But I made a bucket list today. Wanna see it?" I didn't feel like talking about Chrstie right now. I showed her my notebook and she frowned slightly when she saw my last entry. I totally forgot about that one. Now she's going to pity me. Great. Just great. Congrats mom, you're daughter is a loser.  She tightly gave me a hug. I walked away and went into my room. 

        I was so stupid for thinking that I could actually have friend. That someone would actually like me. The closest thing to a friend has now left me. A single tear slipped out of my eye. I quickly wiped it away and soon fell asleep.
