Brooke's point of view
Sunlight kisses my face and I open my eyes, I guess that I will be alright after all. Staying in the hospital overnight makes the longing for home even more unbearable. I
miss my beautiful son, Emmanuel who is currently staying with Victoria. Lonely, I am desperate for companionship and my wish does come true. Peyton races against time
to be near my bedside out of fear that my condition may get worser with each passing moment. She clings onto the steady sound of my heart beating on the heart
monitor in which offers her hope. According to Peyton, I really don't have breast cancer so I am just playing an evil cruel prank on her. She gives me a list of activites that
we will do together after I get discharged from the hospital and return home. I think it is a good idea for Peyton to look ahead to the future so she doesn't have to worry
about me dying. Peyton has experienced a lot of losses throughout the years. she doesn't need to lose another life. For her sake, I will pretend my cancer doesn't exist
because I don't want to kill her joy. I find healing and strength through Peyton's encouraging words and funny jokes although I know the time is drawing close for me to
say goodbye. The doctor says the cancer is so widespread throughtout my body that I only have five months left to live. I predict it will finally be lights out for me
sometime in April, probably Easter.
