Markiplier: Once Upon A Time

Forever And Always

{{{If you haven't read my last A/N please do. It's really urgent. Also, I wrote this short little thing a while ago about no one in particular and was like, "what the hell. Why not. It's good. Let's do this" and now here we are. Please enjoy.}}}

I lived for those days. The days he would hold me close and never let go. The days when he was innocent enough. I couldn't tell him about the problem. It would break him.

The doctors said I had one week to live, and it hit me like a load of bricks. How could I tell him? I couldn't break his heart by telling him I was going to die.

I decided that I should tell him anyway. I was planning to go home and announce this to him, then probably break up so he wouldn't have to watch it. Watch me die.

The rain outside on the bus ride home was loud and obnoxious. I watched as the rain drops streamed down the window as the bus came to a stop. I got off. This was it.

As I opened the door, I could see him in the kitchen baking cookies. When he saw me, his face lit up. He ran over to me and caught me up in his arms.

I smiled weakly at him as he hugged me tightly, a big grin on his face. I wanted to smile, but I couldn't.

"Do you love me?" He asked.

"I do love you," I replied.

"Forever and always?" He asked. The words rang in my ears, slicing through me and carving sadness into my soul.

"Forever and always," I replied, choking back tears.

I stood there in the hug, those words cutting me up again. I wanted to cry or to run away and end it right now, but I was held in place by him and this hug. My heart was breaking apart in my chest as the disease was slowly eating away at me. I lived for those days where he would hug me and never let me go. All these feelings swirled around me, so I just repeated the phrase over and over.

"Forever and always...

Forever
And
Always."
