'Can you put a date on life? Can you just stamp a person with an expiration date? "Miss Sanders, You have just six months to live" Apparently.... You Can. Why me? I can't help but ask myself. Why do I have to be the first human clone, with feelings and a soul? You don't know? Well neither do I!'
I put my head in my hands as the doctor coldly broke the news. have you ever felt.... That you were drowning in lies, secrets and drama? Secrets you have to keep, yours and your friends, lies you have to maintain and then that stupid drama that people find it so fun to make? That's me right now.
Two months ago I found out I was a clone. A clone of my creators' dead daughter. Do you even have to ask how crappy that makes me feel? No? Good. So let me tell you about myself: My name, or so I think, is Willi Dustina, no last name. Short for Wilona. My best friend is Daniel--Danny--Ian Jackson, he's also my crush. I am ion the MBC with him and my three other friends Samantha--Sam--Renee` Stroe, Christopher--Chris--Andrew Davidson and Catherine Harley Smith.
That's basically the story of my life. My mom said the worst thing she could right now "even a clone with a soul has an expiration date?"
"Yes Ma'am I'm afraid so" said Dr. Fredrick Manson PHD
I couldn't get my mind around the fact... I was going to die--or whatever it is clones do-- I'm a clone, of my mom and dad's REAL daughter who died in a plane wreck? I sat debating in my head whether or not to tell my friends, now I had two things weighing down on my mind 'Should I tell my riends I'm a clone? Sould I tell them I'm dying?' I have no clue.
Suddenly I got up and left the office, storming down the street. The doctor was about to call me back "No- let her go" my mom cut him off.
Normal P.O.V*
She ran down the street, trying not to let the tears she'd been holding back for months fall down her face. But she failed. She ran blindly through the rain rubbing the backs of her hands at her eyes. "Ouch!" exclaimed a familar voice.
Reina and Danny both lay sopping wet on the ground, "Sorry" she sniffled hopping that he could she her tears through the sheets of rain falling from the sky and the wind blowing chaotically,=.
He helped her up and put both hands on the side of her face wipping the tears away with his thumbs "Have you been crying?" he asked softly.
"It's a long story," she said trying to breack away from his grasp.
"I have time" he caught her by the waist and didn't let her walk away. "but not here" he looked around "let's go to my house...."
"Okay" she sniffed rubbing at her eyes again.
It was a block to Danny's house and he kept his arm protectvely over her shoulders the whole way.
He unlocked the door and led her inside out of the rain "Where are your parents?" she asked looking around.
"Mom's at work and Dad's on a buisness trip" he answered.
Reina P.O.V
"Ohhhh" I shivered rubbing my hands up and down my arms.
"You're cold" he said plainly as we reached his room, "Here" he tossed me a American Eagle t-shirt.
"Thanks" I said, I went to the bathroom changed my shirt there and came back it, plooping sideways on his bed next to him.
"So anyway" he said looking at me intently. "Why were you crying?"
"It was nothing" I answered shaking my head... Ugh! How many times I have fed him that lie, so many times I make up a lame excuse.
"No it wasn't Reins! I know you waaaaaaayyyy better than that"
"I know, Danny. I just have allot going on right now!" I explained, figuring he'd owe it up to my parents-errr, creators divorcing.
"All right, just tell me when you wanna talk about it...." he whispered
I closed my eyes and nodded. He was laying width-ways across the head off the bed on his side facing me and I was leaning back on my hands laying length-ways on the bed.
"Danny" my whisper was barely audible, I flooped over onto my subject to face him, his eyeswere closed but I knew he was listening intently. "Do you think people? Their opinions, minds and souls have an expiration date, or just their body?"
My question clealy suorised him for he looked up and studied my face intently "I don't know..." he said quietly "I guess I never thought I was old enough to worry about death"
"Every-body dies Danny" I said softly moving to lean my head on his shoulder "just some, sooner"
"What are you getting at Reina?" he asked worriedly, he sat up nd pulled me up with him keeping me close to him, but made me look at him.
"I'm not sure if I want to tell you....." I trailed off
"I'm here for you no matter what Rein"
"I know, but I won't always be"
"Reina what are you talking about!?" he asked
"Danny, I'm- I'm dying. I have a terminal disase, there's no stopping it. I have six months to live and I'm only 13!" I sobbed into his chest.
He was suprised, I could tell.... There was shock all over his face, shock and something else,not sympathey, but- pain, agony sadness? He let mecry on his shoulder for who knows how long, but I know that we both fell asleep there.
The next thing I heard was sveral hours later "Yeah- Yes Astrid, Reina's here. Oh, yes she's asleep. Okay I'll just keep her here for the night then.... Oh really? Im soooo sorry it must be awful. Okay okay then well I have to go, Okay bye."
It was Danny's mom on the phone with my mom. Ugh! I thought drifting back to sleep.
