Cancer

Louisa isn't like the others. She does not have friends to take home after school. She doesn't even go to school. After her condition got this worse, she was told not to go to school anymore. She started pushing her friends away as well, in the thoughts of "protecting" them from getting hurt. After she finds out life is short, she starts living for her fullest, almost forgetting the fact she is dying. "Today, I realized, I am still alive. Like, for real. I do have cancer and I may be dying, but aren't we all?" - Louisa Way (quoted from the novel) This is a story about living your life, while it's there, love, family, friendship and moving on. I hope you enjoy! ^^
