Danielle Pov.

I felt a slight shake on my arm making me wake up. It's my mom.

"Wake up honey" She says as I look at my surroundings. I get off the car walking up to my room. I grabbed my phone out of my back pocket checking my notifications.

I just see a bunch of text from Ethan and Grayson.

Danielle has left the chat!

I laughed at what usernames they put in my phone for themselves.

I was just about to lay down when I felt a urge to throw up. I rushed to the restroom as my mom came upstairs to hold my hair back.

"It's okay shhh your okay mi corazon" my mom said as I sob feeling the harsh liquid roll out my throat. I clear my throat as I finsihed.

"The doctor said you would have to release the chemo either through peeing or throwing up" My mom had said as I nodded. I stood up as she left to go back to cooking. I brushed my teeth deciding to take a cool shower.

I let the cool water run down my skin calming me from my small whimpers on emotional pain.

For the hundredth time I hated this. I let out a shakey sigh scrubing my body tiredly. Running my fingers through my tangled hair. Awaiting the day it'll all fall out.

I changed into a large t-shirt and sweats to fall on my bed. I'm to lazy to even pull a blanket over me.

I was too tired and weak. This would effect my way of being in life I think. I don't want to be different. I disliked being an outcast.

I mean, I won't be able to do most things. I'll be out of school a lot of times.

All these thoughts flooding my head. I finally went to sleep.

-Next Day at Lunch-

I walked out of the classroom. I decided not to go to the cafeteria. Not eating yesterday or today. I don't feel like it. I'll have to eat eventually, but it just doesn't feel right. My stomach hurts if I do.

I make it to school going to the office. I had to explain my days I'll be coming in late for my injection.

"Okay Danielle. You take care!" The vice principal says. I smile sweetly at her and make my way out bumping into Ethan.

"Hey!" Ethan said smiling. His face turned confused as he saw that I walked out the office with a paper.

"What happened?" He asked making me bite my lip. I shook my head giving him a reassuring smile,

"Nothing. I just needed to.. Get papers for a teacher" I said as he just nodded unsure. I shoved the paper in my back pocket and walked away with him.

"So you feeling good?" He ask. I nod pursing my lips. I wnt to tell him. Maybe I should just tell him now. I'm hurting myself not telling him now.

"Hey ethan I have something to... Say" I whispered as he stopped me looking at me worried.

"W-what's wrong?" He asked. His voice worried and full of concerned.

"Well i-" I start until his friends dragged him away. He pushed his friends off giving them a look.

"No, go" I say as his friends gave him a look back. He sighed looking at me. His eyes stare into mine as I smiled sweetly. I didn't want him wasting time on me at the moment. His friends wanted him. I'm sure he wanted to go with them.

"But y-you were gonna tell me something" He says taking a huge gulp. I shook my head.

"It's okay just go" I said giving off a small laugh. He sighed giving a small smile. He walked off with his friends leaving me alone smiling at him.

I turned around sitting by my locker reading a book. I actually like reading. Some people say 'laaame' and we laugh it off. It's okay if you read books. I mean it's good if you do. I don't see what's so bad about it.

I heard someone's shoes squeak against the floor and looked up to see Grayson. He sat beside me finding a comfortable position. He smiled at me making us laugh.

"What's up dani girl?" He said pulling out his phone seeing a text from his sister. He rolled his eyes laughing quietly paying his full attention to me.

"Nothing. Just reading" I said sighing. I wear glasses, but only wear them when I'm home. I don't where contacts since they kind of freak me out. I would wear them. No big deal, but sometimes it's weird.

"Where's Ethan? Isn't he always hanging with you?" Grayson smirks at me making me push him lightly.

"He's with some friends. He wanted to stay, but I made him go" I said truthfully. Grayson gives a light chuckle

"Oh I see him. He's coming over I think" Grayson says looking over to me. I nod laying my head on his shoulder.

"You okay?" Grayson asks our of the blue. I look up to him questioning him.

"I- I don't know. I just kind of read this" he says pulling out the paper with my injection dates.

I grab that from him for it to be pulled away. Grayson is getting on my nerves at the moment.

"Grayson please. I'll tell you if you give it to me" I say desperately. He squints his eyes and I plead once more. He softens up and hands me my paper as Ethan comes over. I mouthed a quick 'tell you later' as ethan hugged me.

"Hey. I didn't see you all day" Ethan said as I giggled a tiny bit.

"We saw each other a  few hours ago" I said giving him a look. He chuckles as we let go. We had a conversation about what color he wanted to dye his hair. He's been wanting to dye a strand which I agree on. He wouldn't look bad. Ethan nor Grayson hardly look bad. They were good looking people.

"Maybe purple" He said as I nodded. He chuckles knowing it's my favorite color.

The bell rang for us as we entered our 5th period class.

-After school-

I walked out of class quickly not wanting to explain to Grayson. That's until I someone popped up and scared me with a small 'boo'

"Grayson!" I said as we laughed. We walked along the school since it was an early day.

"The.. The paper. What did it mean by injections?" Grayson was said biting his lip.

How am I supposed to get out of this? If I tel Grayson there's no telling if he's gonna go tell Ethan. I can't risk that. Maybe he won't. I mean this is a personal thing. I just don't want no one finding out.

"Grayson. You have to promise me" I say almost in tears. He lightly grabs my hands looking at me confused and worried.

"Yeah anything Danielle. What's wrong?" He said as I saw Ethan looking around for us is what I'm guessing.

"I.. I have c-cancer" I whisper as Graysons face falls into a frown.

"Wait what!?" He says. I shake my head leting tears fall. I hated telling this. I already knew this would be bad.

"I have cancer, Grayson" I said as Grayson gulped shaking his head. His eyes watered.

"No. Danielle please tell me this isn't true" He whispers.

"I-it's true" I whisper wiping my eyes as I see Ethan come over. Grayson wiped his eyes harshly as Ethan approached us.

"Hey.. What's wrong" Ethan says pulling me into a hug. I smiled sweetly at his gesture.

"Nothing. Nothing at all"

Note- GRAYSON KNOWS DJDBJRHRJE.
