Turn away
If you could get me a drink
Of water cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my Aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me
In all my favorite colors,
My sisters and my brothers, still

Ceres Athene Potter is only seven years old. She lives with her father, Harry James, mother, Izumi Sakura, and brother, Kirth Arodes, who's 10 years old. She loved every person in her family equally, and would never give that up.

Ceres had her mother's long black hair and her father's eyes, while Kirth also have black hair, it was very messy like their fathers, but he has his mother's soft brown eyes.

But, that one day killed Ceres and her family inside. Everyone felt sorry for him, except her. She cried when she found out about her one and only brother. The horrible disease that kills…

Cancer.

I will not kiss you,

Cause the hardest part of this,

Is leaving you

Ceres was at her home alone while her brother was at the hospital getting treatment. She was sad for many reasons. She was by herself, even if she shouldn't be because of her age, and she wasn't with her brother.

She remembered every part of the last six months perfectly, since the day Kirth found out about his cancer. He was, and still is, in so much pain…

Now turn away,

Cause I'm awful just to see

Cause all my hair's abandoned all my body,

Oh my agony,

Know that I will never marry,

Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo,

But counting down the days to go.

Ceres walked into her bathroom beside her bedroom with a bag full of her mother's feminine products. She dumped out the bag and found her prize. A pair of scissors.

She walked to the sink where a mirror was hanging, and stood upon the stool to help her see. She then took a lock of her beautiful black hair and cut it.

When she finished, Ceres piled her hair in her shirt and ran downstairs to the front door and stood there. The door handle shook from someone trying to get in, and finally opened. There stood Ceres' parents and brother. Harry and Izumi both looked shocked at Ceres' short hair, but Kirth just looked joyful.

It just ain't living

And I just hope you know,

That if you say,

Good-bye today,

I'd ask you to be true

Ceres showed Kirth the hair in her shirt. Kirth smiled at his little sister and took off his hat, showing his head. All of his hair had fallen out long ago so he was used to it. Kirth put the hat on Ceres' head and hugged her.

"I love you," he said in her ear.

Cause the hardest part of this,

Is leaving you...

"I love you, Kirth."

Cause the hardest part of this,

Is leaving you...
