there she was, confidently walking her way down the corridor. the way her long hair fell down past her back, the way her lips curved up into a beautiful smile, the way her eyes sparkled so mesmerisingl...
"there's something wrong with me..." she whispered, her voice trembling alongside her heart aching sobs, "i'm not going to be here forever, niki."
i felt nauseous listening to her open up to me.
"i broke up with you hoping you'd fall out of love with me. once i realised you couldn't seem to let me go, i had to start pretending like i wanted nothing to do with you. i only did it because i knew that it would make it easier for you, once it finally comes."
"once what finally comes?"
she covered her mouth with her hand, crying harder than before.
"i don't have long left, niki. i was diagnosed with cancer. they put me on kimo therapy and it's done fuck all, other than make me loose all my hair," she sobbed.
"so you're... gonna die?" my throat choked up as i spoke, tears quickly flooding my eyes without warning.
she didn't reply, she just cried harder.
"now i feel terrible for not telling you. i thought it was for the best to keep it a secret from you, but all it's done is ruin us both," she buried her face back into my chest.
i couldn't even bring myself to speak. my whole world just seemed to crumble into a pile of nothingness.
she looked back up at me, her eyes red and puffy.
"promise me, you'll be happy after i'm gone. i don't want you to be sad, niki. all i ask for is for you to cherish our memories and think about me every once in a while."
i shook my head, as if i couldn't bring myself to just accept reality.
"you're gonna find another girl who you want to spend the rest of your life with. you're gonna make even more memories with her, and i want you to love her as much as you had always loved me."
i shook my head again.
"yes, niki. you know that's the right thing."
"i c-cant."
"yes you can," her sobs slowly died down, "do it for me."
"you know i'd do anything for you, my y/n-ie, but, what i cant do is let you go. i'm sorry, but i cant."
"you need to," she reached for my hands, interlocking our fingers, "you're strong, niki, i know you can."
"i-i'm not as strong as you think," my tears seemed almost uncontrollable at this point.
"yes you are. i know so, because even when you could have, you never gave up on me this whole time. that is strength, niki. you have it in you."
i shook my head, "please, i cant live without you. i cant."
"i know," she spoke soothingly, softly caressing the back of my hands, "which is why i want you to cherish our memories. the thought of me is what will keep you going."
i stared back into her eyes, knowing full well there's a chance it may be the last time i do so.
"i'll always be looking out for you, niki, as an angel up in heaven," she giggled sympathetically.
"m-my angel. my y/n-ie," i sniffled.
"exactly," she smiled, reaching a hand up to my face.
slowly leaning in, she planted a small kiss upon the corner of my mouth.
"i love you, niki," she whispered.
"i love you too, y/n-ie."
