Everything was okay. Well, better than okay. I was lead student of the school, President of the Leadership Committee, a passionate soccer player and a rough girl. Until the new high school bitch just steals everything I've got with fake eyeliner and fake boyfriends.
I lost everything. My reputation, my good grades, my athletic body.
Hell, none of the therapies worked.
Then, as my life roller coaster goes down to that really fast part, I started gasping for air in class and coughing up blood at recess.
"You have lung cancer at an advanced stage. I'm sorry, you have a few months."
And suddenly I'm all alone with cancer sucking up the remnants of my soul.
Can I make it the best few months? Well, with a little change here and there, maybe life is worth living.

I'll Love You Till the End
So I have this thing. Some people would call it a catastrophe; some would call it heart breaking. It also has the name of disease, and heart killer. I call it just cancer. Simple enough as it is, right? Doesn't help that I already had it once before, it just came back to fight harder as ever. I thought it was over. Isn't it though? Don't you give up at that point? Senior year and I'm ready to end my life as a person all together. I'm tired of fighting and might as well give up because there are no chances of me living all together. So as a smart choice I move so when I die no one will know me or care about me. Wouldn't that be the logical choice? I don't want pity. Never liked, never will. So don't tell anyone I have cancer. Ever. Doesn't help that a boy started getting involved with me and snuck under my skin before I even realized what he was doing. What changed me were those few, simple words all together. "I'll love you till the end." That, that was about the time I started caring about life again. And it was all because of him.Complete
Joma: Learning to live.
I'm a girl. A woman. Living with Cancer. And love; for one boy. One man. Joe. This is my journey. Joma. This is me learning to live. I'm depressed but I haven't got depression. There's a difference. In 2010 my dog and my Grandad past away in the same week, my mum past away after suffering a year with brain cancer and I was diagnosed with Leukemia. (getting better after 5 years of treatment.) I now live with my dad in Manchester. Soon to be moving out into my own apartment with my boyfriend Joe, now I'm 23 and have graduated from University! I went to sixth form and then straight to Uni but I dropped out after 2 years finishing when I was 20. After that I helped at a school with sport; as well as that I run my own YouTube channel you may have heard of as DreamingAsEmma. "Are you alright?" I'm at the hospital for my final blood test with Joe "Yeah, I'm not nervous or anything you don't even know how many times I've been here." "Emma Thompson for Doctor Jempson please." A nurse asks. I stand up from my seat and give Joe one last hug before I go down the long corridor into the doctors room. After my appointment is over I shake hands with my doctor for the last time and leave the room. I see Joe still sitting in the waiting room. I walk up to him with a small smile. "How was it?" He says putting his hand around my waist. "Clear." I say leaning in to him. I look at him and he has the biggest cheesiest smile on his face. "I'm clear of blood cancer!" I shout as the whole waiting room looks at me, then starts clapping. I feel myself blushing. I can't believe after five years of having cancer I am finally free! I'm happy now free from cancer, supporting subscribers, soon to be living in my own apartment, and having the best guy to be around. I'm learning to live. This is the start of my story, will it be my happy ending?Complete
Running from the gang
In life, we do things we regret, or that we wish we could wipe from our memory forever. At the age of 15, I didn't think I'd regret anything until I was an adult. I considered myself care free. I lived life one day at a time. Well, as much as a 15 year old can. But in life, there are also things that we can't change, that we can't forget. Circumstances change, events occur, and life as we know it is altered forever. For me, it was one night, that set in motion a series of events that I wouldn't be able to forget, even if I tried to. *************************** My life was spectacular, or cool, but I was content, and that's all that mattered. I wasn't overly popular, I wasn't the prettiest girl, and I didn't live in a mansion. I did have a great boyfriend, and amazing friends, and hell, I wasn't doing too bad in school either. But that all changed one night, as I was walking home at night. I witnessed a man murder someone he claimed was a snitch, something to do with a gang deal gone wrong. When I found my parents dead the next day in a serial killers wet dream, my naive self decided the best thing I could do, was run, giving up everything I loved. After 2 years, 3 dead members of the gang and a new school, I was found. When secrets are unraveled and with the FBI somehow involved, nothing is as it ever seemed.Complete

Do you really have to rub it in my face?" I snapped, my voice shaking with fury. Olivia just smirked, stepping closer until her warm minty breath fanned against my lips.

A scholarship girl and a playgirl. Can love survive when it's least expected-or will it destroy them both?
Mr Possessive ✅
"Xavier, are you out of your mind? You can't hit anyone you want." I tried to pull him away from the guy. With his temper, he might send him to the hospital for quite a long time. Xavier suddenly stood up, he took my hands in his and pushed me to the wall behind me. He looked deep into my eyes. I got scared, I saw him angry before but never at me. He closed his eyes and put his head against mine. "You make me do crazy things. I'm not letting you talk to any guy from now on. I know I promised that I'll behave, but I can't see you talk or laugh with any guy." How can he be possessive over our juniors? ****************** Hello. I'm Anastasia. You can call me Anna. I'm a normal school girl. Like other kids of my age, I also don't like school. But my reason is different from them. I get bullied every day. It is the same at home also. My cousins bully me.

I followed her literally everywhere. **************** Hello, lovelies. Hope you like the story.Complete
The Handsome three ( COMPLETED)
"Hey! She already said she was sorry. What more do you want?!" I screamed loudly in his face. His face turned from angry to shocked. No one had ever yelled at him that way at school before. He narrowed his eyes at me."She ruined a very expensive shirt so she needs to be punished for it," he responded, his green eyes lit with hate and anger. "So?! You probably have a million other shirts just like it. You spoiled rich boys have no respect for others. You think you're better than everyone else. Well, let me tell you, you are the worst of the worst." I said. I couldn't believe what I had just said. I realized I had given myself a death sentence as the words flew out my mouth. Duke was quiet for a few moments then he finally replied. "You better watch what you say girly," he said as he brushed past my shoulder. His two buddies following him from behind. I couldn't believe what I just did. It felt so invigorating. I felt as though I had an adrenalin rush. I knew that this feeling would not last for long though because I just gave the H3 a new target.

Who am I living for?
I know it's probably weird for a girl who has cancer to be so well like me and all, but my family and I both agreed that I should live my life as long as I can. I mean of course when I get a cold it's more than just your typical cold and all, but that doesn't stop me from living my life. Even if I have cancer I am still a normal teenager, just one that has an experation date. So I'm starting this new thing where I make a video diary of what I have done the last 4-5 months of my life and then share it with my school so then they could see why I am so weird and care free.Complete
The Tuneless Song
A girl diagnosed with lung cancer strives survival in a world full of hate, looks and gossips. How will she go on through her daily challenges whilst experiencing the life of a normal American teenager? △ Chosen Excerpt ▼ " Ladies and gentlemen, the sign at the door tells it all. We are here today to discuss the situation of the unspoken. People are aware of what's happening with our earth. But they just proceed with life. No one ever stopped to think. What if all of this reached to an end? What if the future, we prepared hard for our children, was nowhere to be found? What if all of these materialistic manners vanished in seconds? We are challenging a storm. A storm beyond human control. A storm that would be the end of the human race as we know it. You think that life is a cycle? I know some of you would say 'Just because everything is changing, doesn't mean it has never been this way before' but this isn't Narnia we are talking about. This is real life. And in real life bad endings are usualized. Unfortunately, we got no Aslan to help us. We got ourselves. Studies showed that we are less than twelve years away from being unable to undo our mistakes. Either we stop and think about this life, or we proceed with our businesses and fail. Either we stop the temperature from increasing or we watch with eyes full of regret the poles melt eventuallyComplete
