Dear Diary,

83 days. 83 days since I was diagnosed with this stupid, deadly brain tumor. The doctors don't know if I will live, the worse part is the love of my life, Luke Hemmings, doesn't know. He's not here. He's traveling the world with his three best mates Calum, Ashton, and Michael and while living his dream. I'm so proud of them. Their touring around the world with each other. I don't know how to tell Luke about my tumor, so I have to do what's best. Leave.

I can't interfere in Luke's career because of me. It would only hurt him. I have to leave before he comes home from tour.

Which is tonight. I have to pack and leave. I don't know where but I need to move away as far as possible. It's my only choice.

I love him too much to let him get hurt.

This is the only way.

Sincerely,

Marley Rose Edwards
