(Cassie's POV)

When I got up for school, I was extremely tired and I felt extremely nauseous.

So my mom let me stay home from school.

Linnea had a free period in the morning and when she walked in my room and opened her mouth to speak, I immediately interrupted her.

"God Linnea, would you just leave me alone" I said "why can't you just, for one day, not talk about your stupid joke!"

Linnea rolled her eyes "Cassie, I don't know why you think that I'm going to talk about that, can you just please watch this video?" she said, handing me her laptop which had the video ready.

i sighed in frustration "fine!"

Then I hit play and the video commenced.

It showed Linnea room, where I was asleep, then I saw the truth.

When the video was over, I felt even sicker than before, and I finally knew the truth.

I couldn't cope with it that very second so I pushed it farther and farther away until I almost forgot about it.

The next day, though I was feeling much better and it was all I thought about.

I came to the conclusion that if the thing lived inside me, then it was connected to me.

If it was connected to me then, if I die it will die with me.

If the only way it will die is if I die, I thought, then I might just have do something stupid.
