Dear Zander,
It's been a week since I stormed out. I admit myself I've been distant. Sorry.
I just feel so un-needed. Was I given cancer for a reason? I want to spend my life doing good things. Fun things. Things to make my life worth living.
But I can't.
I can't do it without you Zander. I wanna tell you, but I'm Stevie. Telling you would ruin my reputation, or what's left of it. I wish things were back to normal, no 'zacey' as everyone said, no arguments, no terminal illness. The doctor told me my days are numbered. I have about 10 months. That isn't even a year, Zander!
I'm scared and I need you, but I'm too stubborn to say.
Love,
Stevie.
I closed my notebook and put it in the cupboard. Once again, I wasn't going to band practice. I couldn't face them. What was I going to do that would make my last 10 months worth living? Bunjee jump? Climb mount everest?
I sighed. It would be useless without my friends anyway.
The sound of my doorbell snapped me out of my thoughts, and I heard my mum rush towards the door. She knocked into something, as I heard my older brother Ross telling her to stop distracting him.
I focused hard, but I couldnt hear what she was saying. It all sounded like mumbling until I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. I panicked and threw myself face down on the bed, pulling this covers up over me. The covers blocked my ears, cutting off all sound.
I could faintly hear what sounded like "Stebwyhinv" and felt someone shaking my shoulder.
"Privacy much?" I complained, sitting up. I was greeted by a wide smile.
"You're alive! We thought you died," Zander said seriously. I let out a shaky laugh, oh how ironic.
"Maybe I did,"
"Well you didn't!"
"Not yet,"
"Yeah, not for like 80 years!" He said cheerfully. I bit the inside of my cheek to stop the tears from building in my eyes. Zander shuffled over to me and sat beside me on my bed, sprawling his legs over mine. I considered moving it, but i liked having them there.
"So why are you here?" Wow, Stevie, that sounded harsh.
"I wanted to ask why you threw a fit last week." He stared into my eyes and I was suddenly finding it difficult to tell a lie.
"Nothing, didn't have any sleep, was a bit moody. Better now," I added a smile to make it seem more believable. Zander just rolled his eyes.
"The truth, Stevie." He said in an annoyed tone.
"That was the truth?" I pretended to be confused, thank God i took drama.
"I'm your best friend, why won't you tell me?" Zander whined. I felt terrible because he was right. I was the worst best friend ever.
"I want to!"
"Dont you trust me? Dont you love me?" He pouted and gave me puppy dog eyes. Of course I love you, idiot.
"Yes I do, but I really cant tell you. Please respect that," I told him. It was easy to see he was getting angry and irritated that I wouldn't tell him.
"Fine," he said standing up, "Don't tell me. But good luck finding a friend who cares as much." He walked out the door, slightly slamming it behind him. I heard him say a quick goodbye to my mother, before leaving.
Tears ran down my cheeks as I my head fell into my hands.
"Honey, are you okay?" My mom asked me, sitting on the edge of the bed. I shook my head 'no'.
"Zander hates me, which means Kacey hates me, which means Kevin hates me, which means Nelson hates me!" I cried.
"They don't hate you. They'd be more understanding if you told them, you know." Mom suggested.
"No, then they'll treat me different." I sniffled, wiping my tears with my sleeve.
"No one is worth all these tears," She smiled, "Now come on, go wash up. Dinner's ready."
I smiled back and stumbled into my ensuite bathroom, leaning against the sink. I still looked like me, but I didnt feel like me. As I twisted the tap, I let the water run over my hands and splashed my face. I took the hairbrush and lightly pulled it through my dark hair, tying it in a pony tail. Before I exited the bathroom, I took one last glance in the mirror.
I looked lifeless.
