Hi my names Athena and I'm dying. How do you tell the people you love your dying and that you want to spend your last days in a place were no one knows you and no one will ever look at you with pity in their eyes .
But it was time my turn to leave my family behind and save them heartbreak. So I was only going to tell them I was moving after all I'm officially 19.
How did I go months without my family figuring out my problem. Of course not I hid the little heart machine well. And I was glad for that.
"Mom , dad I'm moving" I said during dinner. The whole table went quite.
"What?!"my mother said I knew my father would support me.
"Yeah I got a phone call today this little town liked my paintings so they said if I could draw more and probably move out there to capture their beauty" I said and it was true the art gallery did like my paintings.
"But honey this is your home you love it here why would you want to leave" my mom argued.
"Because, mom its time for me to get out there to make something of myself I'll be taking a flight down there tomorrow I sent most of my stuff to a little apparent I bought already" I said.
With a sad sign my mom finally said "alright what time is the flight so I can spend as much time with you" my mom said while my dad rubbed her arm.
"At noon around 1" I said with a smile.
"Ok then honey we'll have the whole morning to ourselves" my mom said with a sad smile.
I was glad but little did I know what I had just gotten myself into.
