Every morning I couldn’t wait to wake up and do something new to my hair. I was just a natural at doing all these amazing types of braids! It was a rule that I couldn’t wear my hair the same way ever. Thinking, I wondered what I would do to my hair today. My long blonde hair was by far my favorite trait about me. Suddenly I jolted upright in my bed. It was all a dream. That used to be the way I woke up every morning until I lost all my hair. My names Elizabeth and I’m 17 and dreadfully have cancer. My parents are the queen and king and I’m the princess. When most people think of a princess they imagine luscious hair, something I want back. When my parents step down from the role of being queen and king it’s my job to take over. But finding a husband for me is almost nearly impossible. No one wants to date me because of my cancer. I just don’t look the same without hair. My parents tell me I’m beautiful with or without hair but from my point of view or any boy’s point of view I look awful without hair. I really didn’t want to let my parents down, but honestly I wouldn’t be able to find a husband who didn’t just like me for my money. The world has turned into a different place than it used to be. In the olden days you didn’t have to question if a man really liked you for who you are or your money. But now you do. The world judges you if you’re different and not like everyone else. You were born to stand out but no one understands that. As a matter of fact, it’s hard for me. Usually I couldn’t go outside much because I was hooked up to a million machines. On a rare occasion I wasn’t hooked onto the machines I would always go for a walk. I couldn’t stay out for long though because I always got super tired super-fast. So today was the one day I could actually go outside. As I was walking down the steps I saw a young man who looked about my age walking up the steps to our castle. I was wondering why he was there but kept walking. As usual I got tired extremely fast and was on my way back when I saw the man again. Getting up the stairs on the way back was always a struggle. Then the man noticed I was having a difficult time getting up the stairs and offered to help me. Usually I don’t say yes, but I really couldn’t get up the steps. As he was helping me up the steps I just felt some kind of connection. When we finally reached the top step we then introduced ourselves and he asked me if we could talk for a while. With hesitation I said sure. As we were talking on the porch for a while it was really awkward but then it began to feel like we knew each other for years. Then I looked at the clock and noticed three hours had passed. You know what they say, time flies when you’re having fun. I guess that was true. One thing I loved about him is he didn’t even mention anything about me having cancer. He looked past that. After that I realized we were meant for each other. We have been together ever since we met. We will always stay by each other’s sides. Moral of the story is if they can look past all the complications then they are the right match
