I really don't know how to start my story.So I guess I'll do it like this.I have cancer.I've had it since I was twelve.I didn't know I was gonna die or anything till I was sixteen.Now I'm eighteen and I've met some unique people.One of them happens to be a vampire.His name is Jared.He has no idea about my bout with cancer,which is bad because I only have three months to live.Just so you know,my mom and dad died a long time ago.So they don't have to worry about their poor little orphan girl getting cancer and all that drama.Jared,though,would get really pissed if he heard that I had died.He was the only family I had. So I was left with one option:Tell him the truth.
"I've got cancer",I told him one day,as we were chilling on his couch in his old mansion.(His family was really,REALLY rich.) "What?" I swallowed and repeated myself. "I've got cancer." I looked at him to see what he had to say."You're joking...right?" I sighed.I knew this wasn't going to go well."Look,Jared.I'm dying.Okay?I'm sorry for not telling you before,but I wasn't sure how you'd react.I know I shouldn't have let myself get so scared,but I can't help it.I know this is may hard for you to believe,but I am.And I don't need you going all to pieces before my...impending death."
Jared just stared at the wall.Then he stood up."How long?" "What" "How long have you kept this from me?" "I don't see how-" "How long?" I closed my eyes."Six years." "Six years?!Why the hell didn't you tell me earlier?! God,Ali!What is your problem?Didn't you think I'd care?!I might've been able to help you!Now I'll never know!How could you be so insensitive?!Huh?!" I blinked back angry tears.How dare he treat me like this after I've confessed my secret to him! "Oh,so I'm the one that's insensitive?What about you?!You're the one that's yelling at me for being an idiot!Like it's my fault!Well,it's NOT my fault,okay?!I don't know why I have cancer!I try to be a good person and I try to do the right things!But that didn't do me much good,did it?!No matter how hard I try,I will NEVER be well again!And if you can't understand that,then-then you can go to hell!" I ran out of the cave,tears running down my face.I heard Jared call my name,but couldn't force myself to turn back.All I knew was that I was cursed and I'd never see past the age of eighteen.But the worst part of all is that I'll never see the man I love again.My name is Alicia Barette.I have been diagnosed with cancer and I am going to die.
