Bad At Goodbyes
This story is about a girl, named Amberlee who is really popular in school,
has it all, or that's what people see when she meet their eyes. But what meets
the eyes is not always true, for one she hates popularity she doesn't like all
the fake attention it attracts and the way they treat the less popular students.
But she never does anything about it. Two, her home life is not what people
expect, people never see the bruises she hides. Nor would they care if they
did. Three, she has Acute Myeloid Leukemia, a type of leukemia/cancer, that
is deadly. But can be treated if you start quick enough and if the patient
cares to take precaution regularly. But unlike most patients, she doesn't
want to be saved. She believes it is god's plan and she shouldn't disrupt it.
She tries to accept it. Four, she suf ers from anxiety and depression, like her
diagnosis of leukemia, she doesn't let anyone know, she doesn't trust anyone
enough. And five she takes care of her siblings, because her parents are
always drunk and high. Her father lost his job when she was 9, he fell into
depression, started abusing her mother, who soon also fell into depression
and they started to abuse her together. After years of living with her parents,
she learned to deal with the pain, so the symptoms of her leukemia, never
really hurt her. Her and her family live in the southside of San Jose,
California. This story takes place at the end of senior year and carries on to
college.

"I'm sorry for your loss." I hear and look over to see Oliver, "I've been in a similar situation, I may not have lost someone this way, but I definitely did lose someone. My family and I will be here for you and will help you get through this." He says biting his lip.
I smile a bit. "Thank you Oliver, hearing you say that really means a lot to me." I tell him.
I can barely see Oliver look back through my tear-filled eyes but then I feel two arms wrap around me.
