The bitterly cold air is blasting into my face and the rain is clattering down onto my skin like thousands of bullets being shot at once. As Arthur and I dash through Deauville Avenue, goose bumps start racing on my limbs. My plump lips are turning blue like an afternoon sky. Inelegantly, I fall through the doors of a petite boutique determined to find something to keep me snug and warm. I catch a glimpse of a sleek, smooth, silky scarf. Flabbergasted, I stand in awe…Wow! Instantaneously, I fall in love. Arthur Boy is refusing to purchase me the marvellous, sleek, silky scarf, which will be the answer to all my dreams. He offers me his jersey sweater. I start saying that I should not have to wear his soaking wet sweater to keep me warm! He is asking me for a divorce because I ask for too much. What did I do to deserve this misery and wretchedness? My heart is a piece of thin, crisp, glass and it is shattering right inside me, making me feel every razor sharp bit of my soul piercing into my skin and disappearing into oblivion. Words are not capable of describing my attachment, endearment and love to Arthur.

I feel as if my voice box has been put into a little dark crate, locked with a key, thrown into the ocean and never allowing my voice to be heard again. I’m back in my penthouse; my bones seem to be playing up causing me discomfort. I look down to the floor… drip drop drip drop. Blood is gushing out of my nose, soaking into my pure as white carpet. The blood is looking like a glass …show more content…
I try to stand up, but it is not working they are holding me down I start yelling, trying to push my way out of everything. They manage to calm me down. The doctors are explaining why this occurred and what they did to stop it. I have had a minor procedure, clustering the blood vessel in my nose, this was done by them using silver nitrate.
I have Acute Lymphocytic Leukaemia.
Paralysed with terror, I have to undergo chemotherapy. In addition to all of this, I may loose my hair. Since my beautiful shiny, silky and sleek hair will be disappearing into the depth of nowhere, I will have to use a wig!
Back at the doctors, they have some news. Struggling with my breath, I walk into the doctors room, complete silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop through a web of dust. They break the news. Tears drop down my white as snow face; I may never even need to wear a wig in the end.
