A/N: Please review and tell me if I should or should not continue with this. Thank you!
Tears stained her pale cheeks and she half-heartedly wiped them away. From outside her locked room, she heard her brother and his friends banging on the door, pleading for her to let them in. They were yelling through the door at her, that they wanted to help and that everything was going to be okay, but that was the problem, wasn't it? They didn't know that anything.
Because she, Katie Knight, did not have much time left. Nothing would ever be okay again.
The doctors had said that she had a high chance of getting past it, that she had a high chance of surviving but Katie knew better. She wasn't stupid. While her mother had listened to the doctor with a shred of hope building up inside her, Katie had listened to him skeptically with her arms crossed against her chest and her eyebrows raised. At that time, it hadn't exactly hit her that this was serious. It wasn't until she heard her brother's and his friends' laughter, out of all things, did she realize that there were so many things she wouldn't be able to do.
Wait, the banging had stopped. Everything was quiet. She slowly raised her head from her bed and walked to the door. She quietly opened it and walked into the living room to find her mother talking to her brother and his friends.
"W-what do you mean, Mom?" Kendall's broken and shaky voice was the first thing she heard.
"She doesn't have much time, Kendall," her mother was saying. Katie heard the tears and sorrow in her mother's voice and her own tears flooded her eyes.
"No. That - That's insane. Katie's thirteen, Mama Knight. She's perfect. She can't - "
"Yes, I can," she couldn't stop her voice from interrupting Logan's rambles and when everyone turned to look at her, she took a deep breath before crossing across the room to stand beside her mother. Katie put up a small smile, a brave front she knew would crumble soon as she looked at her mother, her brother and his friends. Her family. "I'm thirteen, suffering from leukemia and I can die."
