***April 11***

They didn't take it well. Willow and Xander just sat, looking stunned while Dawn ran to her room crying. We called Giles and he should be here tomorrow. I tried to find Spike, but he's been keeping to himself ever since Willow cursed him. The only one left to tell is Angel.

We had always accepted the fact that I would die. Now that we are broken up, that shouldn't even really matter. I keep telling myself that, but I can't make myself believe it. I never expected that I would end up dying slowly and painfully, with my friends and family looking on… I don't think I can do that. I watched my mom die of this, I don't want Angel to have to watch me. I know he's seen death before, heck, my death twice, but not like this.
