Cancer kills
Hi my name is Amy and I am 18, when I was 15 I was diagnosed with brain cancer. When I got told I was really upset but my friend Jake was there for me. Right now at this moment I am in hospital and I only have half an hour to live, right now my clock is counting down on how long I have to go in my life, 29 minutes and 59 seconds, 29 minutes and 58 seconds, 29 minutes and 57 seconds. (AT THIS PART OF THE STORY AMY IS TEXTING HER BOYFRIEND JAKE.)
AMY JAKE
Hey Jake. Hey Amy, what’s up. Jake you know how I have cancer, I was meaning to tell you before but I have 18 minutes to live. I am in the hospital right now. Don’t worry Amy I’m coming. (JAKE HOPS IN THE CAR, AT THIS TIME AMY HAS 15 MINUTES TO LIVE.) Jake no don’t I’m fine. Amy keep texting me so I know your there. Jake no you won’t make it in time please stop. Amy it’s ok. No it’s not I only have 8 minutes to live. Amy please. Goodbye Jake. Noooo. Amy. Amy. Amy. (11 MINUTES PAST.) Jake. Good your still there, I’m on my way. Jake no. Yes Amy I’m coming. Jake listen to me, this is Amy’s mum. Oh hi Mrs Harper. Jake, Amy died 3 minutes ago. Nooo. I’m so sorry Jake. But Jake look in the glove box. There’s a note. Ooo What does it say. It says “Dear Jake I know these last couple of
Years have been hard for you but I just want you
To know I love you and I’ll miss you.”
