In a heartbeat

EVE

The pin drop silence in the doctor's room is killing me.

I didn’t want to be here in the first place. My mother who never cared for me in her whole life forced me here today to come. The doctor is reading the test

result silently. I just want to get out from here. After reading the nurses the

doctor sigh and then said

“I do not how to say it but it looks like you have Lung

Cancer and it’s stage 4” The doctor say and hand us the test result . Suddenly

my ear start to ringing as I start to space out after hearing the news.

“It probably start from a long time ago. Do you have any

family history of cancer” The doctor ask.

“No we don’t but she do smoke and take drugs” My mother

replied in an annoyed tone.

“I see. No wonder it grow more fast. You don’t have much

time to live. At least two or three month. Please try to enjoy your time these

two or three months. I am writing down some medicine please take these and try

to visit us frequently.” The doctor says. I did many bad things but dying? I

never thought about this. Is this how my life is going to end.

“I-isn't there any way to cure this?” I ask in a shaky

voice. I do many bad things but I never wanted to die.

“No there isn’t sadly. Since its already in stage four.

Sorry to say" The doctor says as he writes down some medicine on paper.

When i wake up in the morning it’s already seven thirty a.m.

My school usually start from eight but I don’t care about that. I get up from

bed and wash my face. Then I wear my school uniform which is very wrinkled . I

am probably going to hear a lot from teacher about this. There is only three

months left to finish my last year of high school. I don’t know what I am going

to do then but I will see that later. I go down to see a piece of bread on the

table and my mom is no where to be seen. She probably left. I only live with my

mother. We ran away from my alcoholic abusive dad when I was little. I take the

bread and eat it. Then I went out to the school. My chest is aching from

morning for some reason. Probably for the drugs I take yesterday night. When I

went to school the class is already started as the homeroom teacher finish

calling the attendance. I enter from the back door and take my seat.

“Evelyn you are late again today. And why is your dress is

wrinkled like that. Meet me after the school finished” She said to me in a

stern voice. I scoff and look the other way. My seat is in the last row of the

class . There is a empty seat beside me. No one dares to seat beside me.

“Okay class before we start I want to announce something. We
