Susan

Susan Susan Hayes is the awkward high school freshman. Susan has a problem. Not like any other problem that an ordinary teenager has in high school. Rather, Susan has a disease that shortens her life. The only persons that are close to her are her leukemia treatment friend and her family. She used to have four friends. “They are really missed,” says Susan. One day, Susan went in for her treatment with her friend. Susan is crying as she comes out of the room – the same room she had entered with her best-friend. She runs to her parent’s arms and starts to cry even more. “All that is left are my parents and my time left on earth,” says Susan. Susan’s parents spend the next few days checking up on her – monitoring how she is doing. It is a Monday morning. Susan is going to school; she just goes along with her schedule. It is lunch-time. Susan is eating her lunch that her mother packed for her. Suddenly, she falls. Hitting her head on the floor, laying unconsciously, her peers watches as she is bleeding…. When she wakes up, she’s back in the hospital. Susan starts to wonder who helped her…. Was it a teacher or a peer? Maybe there is still a friend out there that she forgot about. “Could it be that I have another friend?” Susan says to herself. Sure enough, there in the waiting room, there was the friend she had forgotten about. It’s a month later, and Susan didn’t show up to school. The next day comes…. Susan is still not at school. Her parents announce Susan has passed away this morning on Wednesday, January 07, 2015. Susan’s friend – everyday – eats at the same table where Susan used to eat at school with a picture of Susan.
