It was a little thing called Cancer

"Sorry if I get emotional..."
     In my heart I snickered.
     I didn't understand why she said it or why it would ever mean that much, but then she poured out her heart... She let us know that she lost her best friend that year. It wasn't because of a drug overdose or a suicidal call.
It was this little thing they called cancer.
No one really understood why it happened or what the cause was. Some people wondered if the bruises her daddy gave her clogged up her system. There were rumours it was the drugs she did in her car inbetween 1st and 2nd. No one really knew what cancer was so they made their own diagnostics. I wish they knew it was were the white cells get attacked by the red cells.
