To: Whom This May Concern
Well, I guess this is where I start. Well I'm Everly Summers. I'm 15 and I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer at the young age of 14. Basically I know I'm dying but my mother refuses to believe that. If you've seen "The Fault In Our Stars" ,the most cliche movie I have ever seen, you probably cried during it. Well my story isn't exactly like that, no I take that back, my story is nothing like it. Hazel has a chance of survival, I know I don't. My cancer went to long without treatment, and now the only thing keeping me alive is that horrible chemo. Basically I want to die. Okay anyway, the reason you're receiving this letter is because my mother put me in therapy and they said I "Need to let out some of my inner emotions" so here I am.

Letters For You
This is going to be weird. At first at least. I haven't talked to you in over a year, but the teacher said we should use this diary to express our emotions and the only one I could ever be one hundred percent honest with is you. Those letters to you are worth 25% of my final grade so I must find some interesting things to talk to you about. It's going to be good for me too. It'll help me move on. Help me live my life again. I just hope that it will get easier because for now, just imagining talking to you every week brings it all back, all those feelings. I still hope that, one day, you will read those letters for real. That they won't just be a way to keep you in my mind. I'm not stupid, I know that you will never read them but imagining that you will helps me write what I really want to say. So this is for you, I hope you will enjoy. With all my love, EmilyComplete
Greatest
A teenager recounts the last few months of his life as he refuses to fight his father's battles and desperately tries to experience all he can before an aggressive brain cancer claims him. Loosely based on Christopher Marlowe's 'Tamburlain the Great'. Cyrus Laine is given less than a year to live, and he's determined to make it the greatest year of his life. He is going to go to school, kiss his crush, and most of all, hide his debilitating illness from everyone, including his younger brothers. It's not going well, considering his crush is the handsomest boy in school who probably isn't gay, he's having seizures and raging headaches at every turn, and his father is riding him harder than ever, but Cyrus is determined to make this the greatest year of his life, or die trying. Trigger/Content: some brief violence and profanity, psychological and physical abuse, some upsetting sequences and conversations involving end of life issues and cancer. Be aware of your mental state and seek support if needed.Complete
Childhood Sweethearts
#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.

An Unpredictable Life
** Winner of The Watty's 2014: Collector's Dream Award ** ** This is a true story. Now FULLY edited ** I was diagnosed with Cancer a week before my 16th Birthday. I had Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and had to undergo Chemotherapy and a Stem Cell transplant, back in 2003. My whole life changed. I wrote this book when I was 17, when all my treatment was over, to catalogue everything I had learned and experienced. I had no information about Cancer during my treatment; it was all aimed at adults and I was a teenager who didn't understand most of what happened. So I wrote this book. I was a teenager when I wrote, when I had Cancer and I wanted this to be an information, honest account of what it was really like to have Cancer and go through the treatment....from a teenager's perspective. It's sometimes funny, sometimes sad, always honest. There may be parts that you squint at, because you're embarrassed to read them...well, I was embarrassed writing them. But that's the whole point of honesty. To get it out in the open. To be real. And that's what this is.Complete
