Chapter 1: The Big Decision

I sat down next to my best friend Kayle and some of my other friends at the lunch table. "Hey, shorty." Said Tony.

"Shut up." I said back. "Make me!" Tony mocked. I stared at Kayle to say something, but she was to busy on her phone. "Kayle help me out here!" I kicked her leg under the seat.

"Stop bickering you too." Kayle said. I ate my sandwich and glared at Tony. He stuck is tongue out and laughed.

"So, apparently Mr. Arlen is retiring."

"Thank God." I said. "I think he was on drugs" Tony said. "Please, it was more than that."

We all laughed.

The bell rang And me Tony and Kayle headed up to our lockers. I had Math while Tony and Kayle had History.

I opened my locker and grabbed my math book It's not like I'm going to be using this... and I grabbed my notebook. I walked in the class and sat down at my usual seat.

"Hey James.. how about you move so Sammy can sit there." Said the very popular and bratty Jennifer Cramer. She has bullied me since 3rd grade.

"No" I stated. "It wasn't a question dumbass." She pushed me out of the seat and Sammy took my place.

They snickered as I grabbed my stuff and moved. Come on.. where in 8th grade, be more mature... My teacher walked into the class room and I wouldn't dare tell her what Jennifer did.

She would have her boyfriend kick my ass. Scratch that, the whole football team would kick my ass. I stopped worrying about Jennifer and tried to using on the math problems on the board.

"So class, today we will be working on a packet. It is due tomorrow. 4 pages. Any questions? Good! Now get to work!" Miss Williams yelled.

God I hate her.

The bell rang. Only one more hour to go... Tony and Kayle were already waiting at my locker. "Hey, dude! The new history teacher is wack!" Tony threw his hands up.

"Mr. Arlen retired already?"

"Ya and Mr. Wack assigned 20 pe-

Tony was cut off when the principal came on to the speakers. "James Mansion please come to the office, James Mansion" He said.

"Ohh someone's in trouble." Said Kayle and Tony in unison. I closed my locker and went to the office. When I Walker through the door I saw my mother crying and my dad talking to the principal. "What's going on?" I asked.

"James.. it's your brother." I froze. My eyes were wide and I just stared. This... This cant be true!!! He was sick but he couldn't...

" James, he's not dead... But he's dying. We have to go to the hospital for a final visit.." My dad said, tears almost falling out of his eyes.

We arrived at the hospital. Right when we sat down in a waiting room a doctor burst through the doors.

"Mansions?" He asked. I raised my hand and he came rushing over. "Yes of course, hello James." I gave him a nod.

"Alright, well are we ready to make the decision?" The doctor asked. "What decision?!"

"Oh.. I'll leave you to tell him." He quickly left and I stared at my parents. They didnt keep eye contact.

"What decision!!??" I screamed. "Honey, calm down." My mother said.

"James, im sorry, you have to decide to keep him on or off life support.

"WHAT THE FUCK, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!!!" I screamed and stood up.

"Language!!" My mother gave me a stern look.

How could I make this decision... If we keep him on, he will have to suffer more and more until he finally.... But if we take him off we would have no time to ever speak to him again.

"Why don't you ask him?"

"He can't talk, he's to weak.." My father stated. "Alright..." I said. I don't know how im going to do this...

Hello. This is my new book. Yay. Sorry for any mistakes and stuff. Bye bye darlings. This is short sorry..
