Cancer: A malignant and invasive growth or tumor caused by abnormal cell masses, tending to recur after excision and to metastasize to other sites

That's the definition of cancer. 1.2 million Americans are diagnosed with it every year. Annually, 500,000 people in the United States... they die from it. And 13% of people that die every year die from cancer. Cancer has a track record that goes on longer than possibly imaginable, but it's still here today and there's still no definite cure for it. So when a loved one falls into its clutches, not much good comes out of it. It ruins lives. It puts out love like rain puts out a fire. And it doesn't stop to realize the damage its doing. 

Those are the things that I'd gathered about the disease that took his life. Those are also the things I hated to think about. They just made me feel emptier inside than I already was. 
 
I knew I'd probably never get over him. I knew that I wasn't allowed to anyways. I made a promise. 

.....But could I keep it?

Joma: Learning to live. by EmmaSugg101
15 parts Complete Mature
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?

CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

She Never Knew... by imokayalright
1 part Complete
"Mom, not today. I don't even know why you're making me go. Today is dads..." I didn't want to finish and remind her of dads' birthday. My phone kept ringing, I already knew it was Dakota, he's my childhood best friend. "Just take your brother to school, please!" She exclaimed. She looked miserable. I shut the door and smelled the freshly cut grass. I smiled to myself knowing it was my dad's favorite smell. "Alexandria! We're gonna be late, can you stop daydreaming and get in the car." My brother, Cory hollered. He hates to think about dad. He just forgets. I Jeep Wrangler and I started the car, Cory rolled down his windows. "Are we sitting together at lunch today?" Cory asked me. "No I want you to sit with your friends, I'll be alright alone." I told him. "Alright Alex, believe it or not I actually love you. And I love you enough to tell you, you need friends." He admitted. "Have fun. Love you too, Corky." I laughed at the name I gave him when I was a kid. He smiled at me then left into the school. I went on to go to a flower shop. I stopped and got out. I walked in the shop. "Ally, do you have my order, the cars running?" I asked Ally. "Yeah Alex, I have it. Your order for 1 dozen Chocolate Cosmos, 2 dozen Daises, and 1 dozen yellow Roses." "Thanks Ally." I grabbed all the flowers then ran back to the car. I drove to the grave. I threw all my stuff into my bag. I grabbed the flowers and I pulled my bag over my shoulder and got out. I looked around and saw people young and old coming here to see their loved ones. I saw my families graves. Almost my whole family will be buried here. My grandpa always said it was sacred. I put the Cosmos on my dad's grave. The Daises on my grandmothers and the Roses on my grandpas. I talked and talked to them till I pull my pack of cigarettes out of my bag along with a lighter. I put the cancer stick in my mouth and lit it. "You guys are probably really mad right now. Blame peer pressure in 9th grade."

**TRIGGER WARNING** "Someone tell me why I just wanna see the stars with you." 2015 I'm sorry. This probably came as a shock to you. But if you really knew me, you would've seen it coming. No one really knows me. There's not much I can do now, is there? You probably hate me now. I do, too. You'll get over it. You should also know that I am finally free. *** In a final, frantic shot at fleeing a predisposed battle, she finds herself overlooking the furious waves below. It is, at last, time to take a bow and step offstage. When she leans forward, arms wide open to embrace the only fate she can decide, she doesn't expect to survive. Fate really has a means of getting its way at the end. *** He's never been an impulsive person in general, but somehow finds himself in the water to save the absolute dimwit whom he could've sworn was on the cliff ten seconds ago. The girl isn't very grateful when she sees her newest visitor at the hospital. Strange, considering he just saved her life. Disregarding her dance around the bush, he's determined to unravel her story, to unearth the demons she sought to escape. Before he knows it, he's tangled in the wilds of her mind, having ventured way too far. Leaving it to fate to determine what would happen if he was yanked right out.
