Giving Up

"I'm giving up." His eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't let her do this to herself, he couldn't let her give up on herself. "No, I'll figure it out! I promise." She shook her head and held back her tears. "This is my decision." she said. "I can't do it anymore. I'm giving up."

Connie Jenkins is a cancer patient. She was always the one that gave people hope, never gave up. She always found a way. She thought that was her purpose in life. She been doing the Chemotherapy Treatments for a little over a year, but it isn't working. However she refuses to give up. Raffe Calvin is a happy-go-lucky boy who never thinks too much about the problems of the world. He was bound to be happy no matter what life threw his way. He always went to the hospital to visit the patients. One day Raffe is walking down the hallway listening to his music, the way he always did, but this time he's not so happy.
Recently his parents told him a secret they had been trying to keep from him for way too long. Raffe has a sister, and it isn't who you would expect. Meanwhile, Connie is trying not to break from the idea of not being able to go through any more treatments. Her body can't handle it, and neither can she. She's close to deciding to call it quits, but one person may be able to help her. Once they meet, things start to change. Connie doesn't want to give up, and Raffe won't let her. Until they learn she has another type of cancer. She's dying and they can't do anything about it. Becoming best friends can be easy, but breaking apart is another thing. Will Connie give up, or will Raffe be able to give her the hope that she used to give away?
