"Prologue "Author P.O.V." "WHAT THE AT WHY ARE YOU ONLY COMING NOW, BITCH," his mom shouted at him, causing him to just bow his head and remain silent. "Maybe she's flirting again, mommy tsk," his brother said. "W-we were just doing an activity with my classmate, mommy," the girl stuttered, scared. Pack... His mom silenced him with a sharp look, making him bow his head and cry silently. "Never, ever call me mommy again because I don't have a flirtatious daughter," his mom said emphatically, with a threat, so he just nodded. Suddenly, the door opened, so they turned to it, and their adopted family member entered, the reason why his family disliked her so much, with disheveled hair and a cut lip, so his family approached her. "fvck what happened princess/baby sis/sis/baby princess," his brothers said worriedly. "Oh my god, what happened to your face, princess," his mom said worriedly, so she just bowed her head with envy. "Who did that to you, princess?" his dad, who had just arrived, said angrily and worriedly. "That bitch made it up, mommy, daddy, brothers," she pretended to cry, so they all looked at her with anger, so she just bowed her head again. "fvck, what did you do to that bitch?" his dad said angrily, so he felt slightly nervous. "I-I didn't d-do anything to her, dad," he stuttered nervously. "Don't you dare call me dad because I don't have a daughter who always chases and bitches," his dad said angrily, making him whimper. "Are you saying our princess is lying?" one of his brothers said angrily. "She's always lying; she just made up a story," he said. Pack. He was slapped again, and when he looked at the one who did it, his world seemed to collapse because it was his dad. "You have no right to talk to her like that," his dad said angrily, so he looked at him with cold, emotionless eyes, making his family feel nervous as they couldn't understand the reason. "DAMN YOU ALL KNOW WHAT I'M TIRED OF TAKING ALL AND BECAUSE OF THAT BITCH YOU ALL HURT ME AND YOU ALL BACK THE SLEEPING DEMON INSIDE OF ME NOW WELCOME TO MY OLD SELF," he said with a smirk and a cold tone, making his family nervous because they knew what he was talking about. While his family was shocked, he went up to his room and packed because he was leaving the next day. "welcome back self," he whispered to himself and went to sleep.
Chapter 1 Part 1
---
anika is getting worse as time goes by, your pain requires surgery and your leukemia is also worsening. -Doc Alice
Tears just kept falling.
I have a heart condition, and now it's accompanied by leukemia. Two illnesses I'm fighting. Will I be able to handle this? -Thoughts
Doc Alice approached me immediately and gently rubbed my back to calm me down.
Just tell them -Doc Alice
I shook my head.
I don't want to, doc. I don't want to be a burden to them. -Me
But Anika, your condition is getting worse, and you have two illnesses. You only have a few months left, and if this isn't treated immediately... -Doc Alice
That's enough. Don't express too much emotion; you know it will only make it worse for you. -Doc Alice
After my conversation with Doc Alice, I went home immediately.
I'm not allowed to get tired, but here I am cleaning.
After finishing cleaning, I changed clothes to go to school.
When I arrived in the classroom, I immediately went in. I also saw my ex-best friend.
Yes, ex-best friend. Ever since she found out that my crush is now her boyfriend, she treated me differently until she forgot that we used to be best friends.
Our teacher arrived.
Miss Valle, come with me to my office. -Ma'am Cortes
I immediately stood up and followed her.
Sit down, Anika. -Ma'am
Why, ma'am? -Me
You were absent earlier, according to your subject teachers. -Ma'am
I'm sorry for being absent. -Me
Luckily, they gave me questions for you to answer. You're the top student in class, and you'll graduate in two months, so please try not to be absent. -Ma'am
While Ma'am was talking...
I couldn't understand her well because I was feeling dizzy. I was about to stand up when suddenly my vision blurred. I could still hear Ma'am calling and tapping me, and I felt someone shaking me until I lost consciousness.
I woke up to a white ceiling.
I looked around, and Ma'am approached me.
I immediately straightened up.
What happened, ma'am? -Me
You lost consciousness while we were talking earlier. What's happening to you? Why do you look pale? -Ma'am
The doctor came in immediately.
I called your siblings earlier, but they haven't arrived yet. What happened? Are you fighting with your siblings? -Ma'am
I just bowed my head.
Doc, how's Anika? -Ma'am Cortes
She looked at me first before talking to Ma'am.
Where's her family, ma'am? -Doc
I called them earlier, but none of them came here. -Ma'am
What's Anika's condition? -Ma'am
Her heart condition has worsened, and she also has leukemia. -Doc
What? -Ma'am
I just bowed my head.
Is that true, Anika? -Ma'am
I just nodded.
Do your siblings know about this, ma'am?
I shook my head.
They should know about this. I'll call your sister Shantal. -Ma'am grabbed her phone.
I got alarmed.
Ma'am, please, I don't want them to know, please, ma'am. -Me
But... -Ma'am
Let her be, Ma'am Cortes. She's not allowed to express too much emotion; it will only worsen her condition. -Doc
Fine, but she can't hide this, especially when Anika's life is at stake. -Ma'am
I know, ma'am, but I don't want to burden them more, so please don't tell them. I think I can still handle this. -Me
Cji will help you. If you have any subjects that you can't attend because you need to see a doctor, just call me, and I'll talk to your teachers. -Ma'am nodded.
What time is it now, ma'am? -Me
It's 6 in the evening. -Ma'am
Oh no, I'm dead again. I immediately stood up. I'm sorry, ma'am, I need to leave. I didn't wait for their response and left immediately.
When I got home, Shantal greeted me.
Where have you been? Probably flirting again, huh? -Shantal said and slapped me.
I just sat on the floor.
She kicked me before leaving, and I heard her say,
I wish it was you who died. You're a nuisance. -Shantal
Don't worry; I'm close to dying, too, sister. -Thoughts
