Chapter 1

You always read stories about a girl who has cancer, but that's not my story, I'm a seventeen years old my names john and I've had cancer for two years now. I hate it so much and not for the reason that I'm going to die, I don't care about that; I have nothing to live for anyway. I have my dad but he treats me like a child. He's a cancer control freak. He won't go out with his friends or meet a girlfriend. He's always thinking that I can't do anything for myself, he won't let me go out by myself even if it's just with my friends - well it would help if I actually had any.

I did have friends once, but when they found out about the cancer they just abandoned me. I just want someone, just one special person. Someone I could dream of every night. Someone who didn't treat me like a child. Someone who understood.

But the chances of that happening are zero to none, because first of all my dad, second of all my dad. I bet you think I'm going to say my dad again

Well I am.

It's like me and my dad are completely separated from the whole wide world.

Tomorrow I'm going out without my dad's permission "so may the odds be ever in my favour" yes that's from The Hunger Games. I've read all of the books twice, in one week, that's how bored I am.
