All My Heart

"Can I go now?" I interrupted my doctor and he sighed. "I am really tired, and I just want to go home. Can I go, please?"


"Of course Ms. Johnson. You need to rest anyways." He sighed again and I grabbed my stuff and went to walk to the door but he stepped in front of me. "Before you leave, Ms. Johnson, I just want to inform you that I signed you up for a cancer support group."


"Really?" I hate cancer support groups. They make you feel insecure, and they make you feel like you can't support yourself and you aren't capable of doing anything. "Do I have to go?" I crossed my arms and he smiled.


"Well, I was hoping you would. I told Austin, the group leader, that you were one of those girls that needed help because you are just another cancer patient-"


"Just another cancer patient? Wow. Thanks, I appreciate the compliment." I scoffed and he sighed.


"You know I didn't mean it like that Emrald. It's just that many other people have cancer like you do, and it's hard to keep up with all of them." He explained and I just rolled my eyes and walked to the exit.


"I'll see you later doctor." I grated but he grabbed my arm and I sighed, looking back at him.


"Here, I got some more perscriptions for you. Drive safe." He gave me a safe smile and I took the papers from his hands and walked out of the hospital.


I don't know why they're letting me drive. I could literally pass out any moment, but they still let me drive.


I arrived at my house and when I got out of my car, my mother was waiting on the porch for me. I walked up to her and she wrapped her arms around me.


"How are you?" She asked as we walked into the house.


"I'm still alive. So I guess I'm great." I walked into the kitchen and looked at the food. "You ate without me?" I looked at her and sighed.


"I'm sorry pumpkin. Your father got home early and he wanted to go to bed. But I made him eat first so we had no choice." She patted my shoulder. "I'm sorry."


"Whatever. It's fine." I shook her off and she kissed my forehead.


"Don't stay up too late baby." She walked out of the kitchen and to her room.


I ate my dinner, and watched about 3 re-runs of Duck Dynasty. And then I went up to my room and tossed myself onto my bed.


I didn't want to go to that stupid support group tomorrow, but my mother is probably going to make me. I just don't get why people like to make other people feel so... Useless.


I shook my head and turned over, easily falling asleep.


My mother woke me up this morning because she wanted me to be early for the group. I told her I didn't want to go, but like I said she was going to do, she made me go.


I got dressed in some skinny jeans, black converse, and my favorite Nirvana tshirt. I didn't do anything to my hair, because I didn't want to really. Besides, I have no one to show off to, so what's the point in even trying?


"Bye honey! I love you!" My mom exclaimed as I walked to the door.


"Love you mom." I smiled and walked out of the house.


Sometimes I enjoy having freedom, and every single time I take a step out of that house, it makes me want to do something I've never done. I want the feeling that nothing will ever be able to take away my amazing life, even though something is trying to.


When I got in my car, I opened the paper that my mom gave me with the support group address on it and headed that way.


When I pulled into the parking lot, I saw many people with oxygen tanks walking into the small building. I sighed and leaned my head against the wheel. Maybe this day won't go bad as much as I think it will.


I got out of my car and sighed again. I walked across the damaged concrete and walked through the glass doors. There wasn't as much people as I thought there would be, and when I walked through the door, all eyes went on me.


"Um, hello." I said, scanning around the room. I stopped when I saw a boy with green eyes and a tattered tshirt.


"Please, introduce yourself." Someone said, probably Austin, and I switched my gaze from the tattered shirt to him.


"My name is Emrald Johnson, and I have Leukemia." I said and I took a seat beside a small girl with blonde hair.


"Welcome Emrald." Austin said and I glanced back over to the tattered shirt, and he was staring directly at me.


I blushed and turned away, thinking about how awful I thought this was going to be. But maybe tattered shirt will change my mind about this...


Bring it on.

Notes

Hi! It's me! I hope you like the beginning of my new book... Erm I mean our book. The next update will come from the co-author, and I hope you liked mine, and I hope you like hers.
I was afraid that this was going to be too much like The Fault In Our Stars, but we are going to try our best to make it completely different. Trust me, when we get into this, it will be nothing like it.
Your thoughts would be much appreciated, and I would love to read what you think! -K. xx
