This is a series of diary entries, articles and thoughts by a friend of mine who is a patient at The Royal Marsden Hospital in London.

Joshua was born in Croydon, London, and grew up just like everyone else, but when he was 15 he was diagnosed as having blood cancer, or leukemia. Since then his life has been one long round of hospital visits and treatment. Joshua is still fighting to get well and these are some notes from the frontline of that war. He - and me - would love you to read them and get back to us about what you think.
  
Yes, the subject is brutal, but Josh writes about his experiences in a raw, honest way that will move you and even make you laugh.
  
These snippets are not written in any particular order. One day, when Josh is better and he has a chance to get things organised, he might think about publishing them - until that time, you'll read them as he sends them out into the world.

#908 in Teen Fiction '9/12/2016' #788 in Teen Fiction '18/1/2017' Life could be really tough. It could be sunshine-y and peachy but just like that, it turns upside down and everything falls apart like an avalanche. This is exactly what happened to Alexa Gray. Alexa was the school's sunshine, everyone loved her. Until she was diagnosed with stage 4 Leukemia, and her life went down the hill. She made a promise to herself to make the last 6 weeks of her life unforgettable. So, she makes a deal with the devil- school's badboy- himself; Noah Black. But, as all stories, the Matchmaker has to interfere. A Cancer Diagnosed Girl. A Badboy. And A Bet That Changes Their Lives. ------------------- Started: 14th of May 2016 Completed: 13th of September 2016 ------------------- Cover made by the amazing @Jenikel098 ------------------- DISCLAIMER!! This novel was literally written in 4 months when I was at the age of 14 trying to overcome my obsession with the fault in our stars (yes, I used to read the book at a bare minimum of 3 times per week, if not once daily). I decided to write my own version of it and as you can see, it turned out like this. If you choose to read it and find it silly that is because it's written by a 14-year old. So, please don't write hate comments or anything. Thank you all, have a nice time reading it!

Billionaire Next Door✔ by hannahosell

I shrunk back into my seat as his head snapped towards me. He looked like his head was going to fall off. His eyes were blazing with rage. His face was set into an icy glare. His fists that rested on the table were clenched so hard his knuckles were white. As he stood from his chair so did I. I felt like the prey to the biggest predator in the jungle. I took two steps back for every stride he took towards me. I gulped again before shaking me head. "She's just joking Ace." my voice quivered as I took another two steps back. "How do I know that?" he sneered down at me, his body towering over me. As I went to take another step backwards, my back made contact with the wall behind me. Well great. Now I'm cornered. This is just typical. ............................................................. One girl moves to the big apple after her family disintegrates around her. All she has left is her one brother. Well, that's what she thought. She attends college like a normal girl and even gains a job on the side with someone who just so happens to be her neighbor. One man has lived in a house most of his adult life. He owns multiple clubs and watched as his family disintegrated around him. All he has left is his sister. A small fragile girl moves next door and he finds himself infatuated. He lands her a job... As his assistant. He is dangerous. She is sly. He is rude. She is sweet. He can not lie and not get away with it. She can make any lie seem like the sweetest truth. She is a bad girl that hasn't been caught. He is a great catcher. Read to find out their twisted story.

the way it ends by did_I_just_say_that

Noah Albert Clark was born to die. At least, that's how he sees it. Diagnosed with leukaemia at fourteen, he has since then been preparing for his own demise for years. It's really the only thing that he is not afraid of. Only, something has gone terribly wrong for Noah. He's gone into remission. And as a result, is forced into spending time with a girl, as well as her canine accomplice, whom he has never met, and is said to be just as screwed up as he is. Noah has never had any friends, and has never really thought he needed any, seeing as his death was so inevitable. However, the tables are turned, and it seems that now life is the hauntingly inevitable. Without cancer, who is Noah Clark? All he has ever been is a ticking time bomb, so now that he's stable, he has no idea what to do with his life. Live? He doesn't know how. Perhaps he just has to learn. TRIGGER WARNING: extreme suicidal ideation, eating disorders, death, mentions of abuse, violence.

You said this was forever (l.s) *slow updates* by WAYYY_TOOO_OBBESSED

Not all stories have a happy ending. Two best friends who fall in love, seems like the average love story...kinda. Harry has a perfect life...or so Louis thought. Pregnant. At 16. It's okay though because Louis will be there to help Harry through this...or so Harry thought. Stage 3 cancer. This is gonna be rough. 15 years later Harry is still struggling with Louis' death and with everything that comes along with being an adult, raising a family, and trying to make money with really shitty jobs. **WARNING THIS IS AN MPREG** **Warning- eating disorders, self harm, homophobia/homophobic slurs, simon cowell, death, rape, suicide/suicidal thoughts, abusive parents **

The Girl in the Hoodie by SarcasticallyWitty

{FIRST BOOK IN 'THE GIRL IN THE HOODIE' SERIES} {2014-2018} A girl moved to California two years ago. No one knows what she looks like. All they know is that she wears a hoodie. *~*~*~* "HOLY SHIT, NOAH! WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU LET THE TROLLEY GO?! COME BACK! OH MY FUCKING LIFE, FIZZY DRINKS UP AHEAD--" BANG FIZZ POP "...am I dead?" I'm suddenly grabbed by the back of my hoodie and pulled up from the ground and out of the mess of the opened bottles of fizzy which had exploded when the trolley and I crashed into them. My hands instantly go to my hood and I sigh in relief to find that it hadn't fallen off through all of that. I turn my head and look the the employee who's holding me, his face completely red and the vein in his neck throbbing. "Wassup, dude?" I smile sheepishly. *~* {HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 in Funny #1 in Sad And #1 in Cancer apparently }

For The Next Thirty Seconds ✓ by coffeeinastorm

**editing ((: "How many sets of thirty seconds are in a day?" "My rough estimate?" "Sure." "About three thousand." "Oh." "Yeah." • 19 year-old Jack's life has been one traumatic event after the next. So, being diagnosed with small cell lung cancer was just icing on the cake. With a survival rate of 14 percent and a life expectancy of 4 months, Jack does all he knows how to do: he runs. 18 year-old Lane's life has just been turned upside down. After finding out her sister's engaged to her childhood best friend, she doesn't think it could get any worse... until she finds out her happily-married parents of 24 years are getting a divorce. She can't stand even being in the same room as one of her family members, so she does something she's never done before: she runs. The Big Apple has never seemed so small. At least, not to Jack and Lane, not when they were next to each other. Nothing seemed too big. Side by side, they could conquer the world. They could fly. But, if the world decides to fight back, whose to say they won't fall, instead? 𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴.
