Dear Diary: My Last 100 Days

Day 56

Dear Diary,
I thought about staying home from school today... But then I realised I couldn't hide forever. Not that I had forever....

It didn't matter much anyway. Eddie wasn't at school today. I thought it was good, but it also hurt as the thought of him not wanting to see me surfaces my mind.

That lunch time with my friends around the table I crossed off another thing on my bucket list.

I told them all I was dying...

At first they thought I was joking and laughed it off. When I didn't join they asked if I was serious. I nodded.

The girls cried. Even the guys who thought themselves as tough men shed some tears. They showed me that even tough guys cried.

They pulled me into a big group hug. I was thankful that they didn't leave me. If anyone else did... I didn't know what I would do.

For years I was these guys friend. I was thankful for their friendship. They were the best friends a girl could ask for, and I was lucky that they were with me.

Love,
Annabel
