April 23-St. Charles, Missouri

"We're friends, right?" Peter asked as he sat next to you in the living room.

"Yeah..."

"And you'd be willing to do me a huge favor?"

"Maybe."

"Can you teach me how to drive?"

"Absolutely not."

"Please?"

"It's hard enough teaching Riley! I can't teach you too!"

"I fixed up the car, and I got my permit. I just need a teacher."

"I don't know."

"Please, Rox?"

He looked into your eyes as he pleaded. You sighed and nodded.

"Screw you and your puppy dog eyes."

"Is that a yes?"

"Yes."

"Thank you! You're amazing!"

He wrapped his arms around you and smiled wide.

"Don't thank me yet. This could all end very badly."

💫

"So, I heard you're teaching Pete to drive."

"Yeah. Wish me luck."

"You're gonna need it."

He began to cough excessively and covered his mouth. You handed him a tissue to cover his mouth with. You went to the kitchen and gave him a glass of water.

"You okay?"

"Yeah."

You took the bloody tissue from him and threw it away.

"You're gonna go back to the doctor in a few days, okay?"

"I don't wanna."

"Why?"

"Because, every time I go, I only get bad news."

"We're doing everything we can do get you better."

"It's not doing much good, Roxy. I'm dying."

"I know."

"I've accepted it. The rest of you need to too."

💫

"What do you do first?" You asked.

"Turn on some sick tunes."

"No. You put on your seatbelt."

"That's a no brainier."

"Then why didn't you do it?"

He rolled his eyes and buckled the seatbelt.

"Now what?"

"You tell me."

"I turn on the car."

"Good."

He turned the key until the engine roared.

"Mirror check."

He played with the mirrors until they were adjusted properly.

"Can I turn on the radio now?"
