"I'm an adult. I should be leaving home, going off to college. I should be falling in love. I should be travelling the world...but because of SCID I'm going nowhere in life."
It's been a boring week without talking to Ethan. Last night was cute how he spoke to me through the window, kinda. I wish my Mom would give me my phone back to talk to him.
I've barely spoken to my Mom in a week. I was so mad at her for firing Garret. I'm fact, today will be fun because I'm meeting my new doctor. No one could replace Garret though.
...
I climbed out of bed and took myself for a shower. My Mom told me I had to look "presentable" today so I put a cute little dress on.

After finishing my makeup, I put on my nasal cannula and headed downstairs.
I sat on the couch across from my Mom.
Emily: When will she be here?
Mom: (Looking out of the window) Soon.
We sat in silence. We still weren't on good terms. I sighed and turned to face Mom.
Emily: Mom, when can I get my phone back?
Mom: (Annoyed) Never! Not after your actions of letting that boy put you endanger!
Emily: (Shouts) Ugh! Whatever!
It was soon silent again. The doorbell rang and Mom stood up to answer it. She came back into the room with a lady, who looked like she was in her forties. She looked older than Garret anyway.
Mom: (Smiling) Emily, this is Estefania. She will be your new doctor.
Estefania: (Looks at Emily, slyly) I've heard what you done. I will make sure you will not make those decisions again, or else...
Emily: (Folding arms, annoyed) Or else what exactly?
Estefania: (Annoyed) Your Mother has told me about you. Stupid...Naive-
Emily: (Turns to Mom, angry) Are you just gonna let this bitch talk to me like that?!
Mom: (Annoyed) Well, it's kind of true!
Emily: (Screams) UGH! I'M SO SICK OF EVERYONE! YOU ALL JUST DON'T CARE ABOUT MY FEELINGS! I HATE YOU ALL!
Crying, I ran upstairs, once again slamming my bedroom door behind me.
I'm done with my family bullying me. I'm done.
I pulled out a bag and started packing it with clothes. I was planning to run away.
I don't care about my illness anymore. I don't care about my Mom. I don't care about anything. I'm leaving this nightmare of a house and no one could stop me.
I pulled a pink hoodie on and pulled my bag on my back. I walked over to my window. My god, it was war out there.
I was seeing two guys with black clothes on and masks, beating up Ethan and Grayson on the street with baseball bats.
I was overwhelmed. First my Mom and the new doctor and now the twins were being beat up for some reason.
I wasn't think. I ran downstairs, crying and shouting "No no no no!" I grabbed the keys that were hanging up by the bookcase. My Mom and Estefania came out of the living room.
Mom: (Screams, trying to grab Emily) WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR'E DOING?!
Mom and Estefania grabbed me, pulling me back. I finally pulled out of their grasp, unlocked the door as fast as I could and ran out.
I was outside.
For the first time ever.
I sprinted over to the fight and shoved one of the masked fellas off of Ethan.
Emily: (Screams) GET OFF OF HIM!
Ethan: (Breathing heavily) Emily...W-what are you doing?!
The masked guy grabbed me and swung me around onto the ground. I hit my head really hard off the concreted road.
All I heard were echoes of people calling my name.
