Hello people! This is a story based upon true events. It's dedicated to one of my friends :) Anyway here is the story, I'll explain more in detail later, how it's based on a true story. Anyway.. Please enjoy...


DEALING WITH IT

Chapter One

Mom: Come on Tyler, time to get up!
Tyler: *Yawwwn* Hi mom... *Rubs Eyes* What time is it?
Mom: It's 4:30, Come on we need to get our stuff in the van..
Tyler: Oh right.. Were moving..

Hello readers, this is my story.. A few months ago I found out that I was moving.. To Maine.. Not that there's anything wrong with Maine, its just I liked Hawaii better. Oh, right.. That's where I used to live. Anyway, my name's Tyler! I'm 15.. But enough about me, you should get back to the story.

Tyler: Mom.. Do we have to move? I'll miss all my friends!
Mom: We've been over this before Ty.. We are moving, and we are moving today
Tyler: But mom...
Mom: Come on Ty.. Put your bags in the van..
Tyler: Fine.. If you say so.

Chapter Two

Mom: Tyler, come inside, we're going to eat breakfast. I'll get your sister.
Tyler: Ok Mom!

Mom: Christi come on get up...
Christi: Heya Mom.. Time to move?


Oh right I forgot to mention I have a sister, a twin sister to be exact. Her name is Christi. She's two minutes older than me, but she doesn't matter... ANYWAY, back to the story!

Christi: Mmm. This is delicious Mom!
Mom: Thanks Christi!
Tyler: Be quiet Chris, I'm trying to sleep
Christi: Someones Grumpy!
Tyler: Leave me alone
Mom: Tyler Honey, I know your upset, but we have to move, we have been planning it for months.
Tyler: I just don't feel good thats all...

Chapter Three

Christi: Mom can we watch a movie?
Mom: Sure honey, go ahead.
Tyler: Mommm.. Can we pull over? I don't feel good. My stomache hurts..
Mom: Sorry honey, we have to keep driving, We are almost at the airport.
Tyler: Fine....

You see, I haven't been feeling well for a long time... My stomache has been hurting.. Anyway, Let's continue the story.

Christi: Yay we're here!
Tyler: Nice house! It looks better in person!
Mom: Let's unload our boxes.

Chapter Four
A few days later...

Tyler: Ugggh.. Mom can we please go to the doctor?
Mom: Ok honey, But it's probably just a cold.. Anyway let's go.

At the doctor...

Doctor: Well, we can't seem to find anything wrong, doesn't seem to be a cold
Mom: Then can you take a blood test or something? Is he ok?
Tyler: Mom, of course I'm ok, Like you said, it's just a cold
Doctor: Ma'mm Will will take a blood test and send you the results.

A few days later, at home.

Riiiiing Riiiing

Christi: Hello? This is Christi speaking.
Doctor: Hello Christi, I'm Tyler's doctor, may I please speak to your mother?
Christi: Sure, hold on... MOOOMM! DOCTOR'S ON THE PHONE!!!
Mom: Ok honey! I'm coming.
*Picks up phone*
Mom: Hello, How's Tyler?
Doctor: Well m'amm I'm afraid I have some bad news... Your son has---
Mom: What?? *Drops Phone*
Tyler: Mom what's wrong??

Chapter Five

Tyler: Mom? What's wrong?
Mom: Tyler honey.. That was your doctor.. You have.....
Tyler: Mom... What do I have? Will I be ok?
Christi: What's wrong you guys? Is Tyler ok..?
Mom: Not exactly honey.. Tyler has.. leukemia
Christi: No...
Tyler: Huh...?

Foxy's Note: You see.. This story is dedicated to my friend who is my age, who found out he had leukemia in the same sort of way. He also has a twin sister, and i just thought it would be nice to dedicate a story to him, He is slowly healing, but nothing is ever known for sure in those type of situations

Tyler: I have.. Cancer?
Christi: No.. This can't be happening.. *Runs to room, and starts crying*
Tyler: I can't... sniff... Have... sob... Caaannncer... *Cries*
Mom: It's ok honey, You will be ok, I hope..

Chapter 6

About a week later... In the hostpital, Tyler has started Chemotherapy.

Tyler: Cough.. Hey mom...
Mom: Tyler honey, you ok?
Tyler: Yeah.. It's just this Chemotherapy stuff, well it makes me feel *Cough* Sick... *Throws Up*
Mom: You poor baby... No one should have to go through this
Christi: Is there anything I can get you Ty?
Tyler: No thanks Chris.

Riiiing Riiiing

Christi: Oh! That's my cell, Hold on one minute....
Matt: Hey, Is this Christi?
Christi: Matt! How are you?

Matt is an old friend of ours from Hawaii

Matt: I don't matter, How's Ty?
Christi: He's ok.. Getting better, slowly.. You wanna talk to him?
Matt: Yes Please
Tyler: Hey.. Matt....
Matt: Ty! Are you ok??
Tyler: Yeah, I'm *Cough* Alright...
Matt: I miss you Ty, you shouldn't have moved...
Tyler: Yeah, well *Cough, Wheeze, Cough*
Mom: I'm sorry, Matt, he has to go, he's really sick..
Matt: Ok.. Bye..
*Hang Up*
Tyler: Mommm...
Mom: Go to sleep honey, Go to sleep..
Tyler: But.. *Yawwwn* Ok.. 'Night Mom, 'Night Christi.

A few weeks later...

Tyler: *Yawwwn*
Mom: Good Morning Honey.. How you feeling?
Tyler: Better actually, I can walk pretty well.. See?
Mom: Be careful Honey.
Tyler: When can i go home? I'm tired of this..

Chapter 7

A few MORE weeks later

Tyler: Mom, Christi I think I'm going to be ok *Grins*
Christi: Tyler! Are you ok? Don't stress yourself-- Oh yeah.. I knew from the beginning you were going to be ok. I wasn't worried.. Heh
Tyler: Mom, I have had therapy for weeks through this stupid tube in my neck.. When can we go home?
Mom: I dont know Ty... I just don't know..

Knock Knock

Mom: Come in!
Doctor: Hello.. I have some good news.. Tyler is going to live!
Tyler: YAAY!
Mom and Christi: Good!
Doctor: He is a very lucky boy. Only about 64% live through this type of leukimia.
Mom: What type does he have?
Doctor: Acute lymphocytic leukemia, thankfully.. If he developed acute myelogenous leukemia he would have had a much smaller rate of surviving.
Tyler: Well Thank Goodness for that!
Mom: Doctor... When will we be able to go home?
Doctor: Soon actually. In about a week, Tyler will only have to have his chemotherapy once a month, so that means that you will be able to go home!
Tyler: But i'll still be bald.. Drat.. My heads so cold when I'm bald!
Christi: Haha! That's all you were worried about?
Tyler: No of course not, but somehow I knew I was going to make it.. I mean, I think I know why I was put through this!
Mom and Christi: Why?
Tyler: Well, now I know what I am going to do with my life. I want to be a spokesperson to kids like me who have leukemia. Or maybe I can be a doctor, to help find a cure? I don't know which but whatever helps!
Mom: I love you Tyler.
Christi: Yeah.. Me too

The End

Epilouge: Tyler grew up to be a spokesperson to kids with leukemia. He told all the kids what he has gone through, and he gave them some really good advice. "No matter what you are put through, it's always for a reason. You can't change what happens to you, so try.. To the best of your ability, To Deal with it. Deal with all that's thrown at you, and I promise you, you will make your life, or maybe someone else's life a whole lot better. And trust me, going through leukemia, has made my life better! Because I can talk to you kids. So try your best to--
Deal With It."

Just friend, lol. His twin sister was actually more of a friend to me than he was, but it's still sad to know someone with cancer, especially since he's just a teen.. No teenager should have to go through this... And he moved too, so it's even sadder, since i can't see him, or his sister...

(And the names aren't there real names, i just made them up)

Wow it is so cool he got through that i hope he is ok now.
and it is ok to have no hair put on some dark glases and
a cap and youll look good i know abought that becaues
