I couldn't express how I felt, I cried desperately while holding on to the girl who was trying to help me.

"Stay away! It can be contagious!"

I said through desperate tears, I felt sad, so sad and miserable that it did not cross my mind that within such a short time I would no longer be able to smell anything.

I cried as I remembered everything, my father, the fact that I would never be able to have children, and that I was completely falling apart with a stranger whose name I barely knew.

"Please, please just go away."

I begged through desperate cries, my hands covering my face in an attempt to hide my shame as my body tried to keep from collapsing to the ground.
