A/N: 3K and 200 VOTES!!! This is so exciting!! Thank you so much :D I'm so happy you don't understand :')

MARKS POV
I tried to comfort her after she came out. We sat in complete silence whilst I wrapped and arm around her. I had no idea what to say to her. I couldn't say anything.
"Mark?" She whispered.
"Yeah?"
"Thank you", every time she said thank you. I had no idea why she said it.
"I'll always be here", was all I could say.
"Thank you", she quietly mumbled.
"We can get through anything together. Okay?"
"Okay", she continued whispering. I kissed her hair and hugged her tighter.

...The Next Day...

all through the day, (y/n) would feel sick, run to the bathroom then come back saying she was okay. The colour in her face still hadn't completely returned. It was pale and ghostly. I tried to make her dinner but she refused to eat. I was at least able to get her to drink water...

We stayed in all day. She refused to leave at all... In case she needed the bathroom mostly. I asked her if she wanted to watch a movie. She shook her head.
"YouTube", was all she said. I nodded and pulled out my laptop and turned it on.
"What do you want to watch?" I asked.
"You" I pulled up my channel. I hadn't posted a video since (y/n)'s birthday. She pointed at the 'Cancer' video, it had reached 2 million views since I posted it. "Why didn't you tell me?" She asked.
"I wanted to show you at the right time..." I told her.
"I knew about it the day you posted it", she replied. 'What? How?' I thought. "I watched our video and saw it" she half smiled at me.
"What did you think?" I asked curiously.
"I think it's amazing", she fully smiled and I hugged her closer. She clicked the video and we watched in silence. I scrolled through the comments, most of them asking why I hadn't updated since then and people saying they hope everything's okay. We slowly made our way through more videos, including: Slender, loads of indie games, Five Nights At Freddy's... The list goes on. I found it weird watching myself but she was laughing and smiling and that makes it worth it.
"Do you know what is happening tomorrow?" I asked her. She narrowed her eyes and looked at me.
"No...?"
"Your last round of chemo", I told her. Her face changed. It wasn't sad, yet it wasn't happy. It was blank.
"It is", she mumbled, her face unchanging.
"It's a good thing isn't it?" I asked her confused.
"Yeah, it is", she finally smiled.

YOUR POV
"Your last round of chemo", he stated. 'Wait what?' How was it so soon? My thoughts halted.
"It is", I couldn't believe it. I couldn't even feel anything, my entire thought process had stopped.
"It's a good thing, isn't it?" Mark asked me. I blinked for a moment before regaining my thoughts
"Yeah, it is", I smiled at him. It's almost over. Although the delightful churning feeling in my stomach was still there I felt almost at peace. So close to being free. So close.
I felt a familiar vibration in the pocket of my pants. I pulled out my phone and answered the call before checking the ID.
"Hello", I said. Almost happily you could say.
"Hi sweetie, how are you feeling?" It was Mum.
"I'm feeling okay I guess, been throwing up constantly..." I sighed.
"Anything else?" I knew what she was talking about. Fun thing about chemo side effects, hair loss is imminent.
"Nothing", I lied. She sighed in relief, if only she knew.
"Are you ready for tomorrow?" She asked.
"Yeah", I looked at Mark and smiled "I'm ready"
"Is uh... Mark bringing you to the hospital or do you need me to? I can if you w-"
"Yes Mark is bringing me", I cut her off. "Don't worry"
"He might crash though! If he does he'll have me to speak to"
"Mum, we won't crash" I shook my head and Mark looked shocked.
"Me? Crash? Never" he said into the receiver.
"You better not", she muttered. "I better be off now, I'll see you tomorrow" I could almost hear her smile through the phone.
"Bye Mum" I smiled.
"(Y/n)?" She said quickly before I hung up.
"Yeah?"
"I love you"
"I love you too Mum", there was a slight pause before I hung up. I placed my phone back in my pocket and looked back at Mark.
"Why didn't you tell her?" He asks curiously. I knew immediately what he meant.
"I couldn't bring myself too..." I sighed. "I'll tell her eventually, but for now. I'll keep it between us" hair had slowly fallen out over the day.
"Okay, let's continue our binge YouTube watching?" He asked and I giggled and nodded in response. The night was peaceful. I only ran to the bathroom once after the call. I was ready for all this to end. So very ready.
