The Note
Chapter Two
A few weeks had passed and Anna still hadn't told anyone at school about her tumor not even her best friend Jesse. She didn't know how to tell Jesse. But she knew her friend would figure it out once chemotherapy started. What would Ronnie think was one of the main things on Anna's mind. What would he think of me? Anna knew that she was acting silly but still. Anna had been trying since the fifth grade to try and get Ronnie's attention.
"Anna!" Anna's father screamed from the kitchen because Anna was about to miss the bus. Anna ran down the spiral staircase and out to the bus. Her best friend was sitting in seat five and Anna sat next to her. Anna took a deep inhale and said,'' Jesse I have to tell you something kind of serious.'' "Well what is it" Jesse said in a concerning voice. "I……I have". "Hey nerd brain" a voice came from the back of the bus and Jesse said to the football player to stick it. "What were you saying Anna?" Anna replied," never mind it's not important."
The First period bell rang. Anna sat down as she normally did behind Ronnie. The teacher walked in and said that they were going to be doing something different because this week was breast cancer awareness week they were going to watch a video about breast cancer and how horrible it is. Anna sighed and her teacher said," Anna if you feel you don't have to watch this then leave don't be rude to others in the class who might be affected by this." Anna was so flabbergasted she didn't know what to say so she said the inevitable," yeah well it turns out I have breast cancer so shut up!". The class room became so silent you could hear the children in the other room breathing; Jesse turned and looked at Anna. Anna ran out of the room crying and threw herself in front of her locker and fell to the floor. Jesse ran out after her. "Are you being serious" asked Jesse, "yes" said Anna in an extremely small voice. The bell rang for the end of first period; everybody came out of the classroom and just looked at Anna as if she had done something wrong. Anna wondered if they all thought she was lying. The teacher walked out and said Anna I want you to go to the counselor's office.
Anna was confused she did nothing wrong. Anna walked into the counselors office and her parents where there. Anna was again very confused. Her mother had Anna's stuff in her hands but Anna was just at her locker and was extremely confused as to how she got her stuff out of her locker, but that was besides the point." Why are you guys here." "Anna we are taking you home", said Anna's parents. "Why", asked Anna. Her parents told her that they would tell her once they got home.
The car ride was long boring and anticipating, once they arrived home Anna's mom explained to her that she didn't have to go to school anymore Anna was happy but she knew there was a catch. Anna's mom said they got a call from doctor Williams it turns out the cancer had spread and now it was terminal. Anna was going to die. Anna didn't move, Anna didn't cry, Anna didn't say anything at all. She said okay. And walked up the stairs. Once Anna got upstairs she threw her lamp across the room and tore off all the posters off the wall she was screaming and having a temper tantrum. She ripped the blinds off the wall and threw her clothes out of the closet and all over her floor. Anna fell to the floor and cried. It seemed as if the whole world had given up on her. The sunny sky hid behind dark rain clouds and the sounds of thunder. Anna ran outside and fell and just let the rain fall and hit her body. Anna didn't normally like getting wet but she was too oblivious to the world to care at this moment in her life. So she went inside after three hours of lying in the muddy earth and getting soggy from all the rain.
Anna walked inside to her house and sat at the dinner table.
