"hey, mind if I sit beside you?"
"leo hey-, umm yah of course"
"thanks"

"i'm sorry"
"for what?"
"you are the one dying yet I'm the one who's angry"
"no it's my fault. I shouldn't have dragged you into this. I shouldn't have got out of my car and asked you to become my bucket list buddy. It would've saved you from the pain"
"hey I'm already in pain. I've already been hurt. nothing can hurt me anymore"
she rested her head on my shoulder while I took her hand. she was crying. I know. and I let her cry.
"I had my whole life planned. I wanted to be a author. I wanted to live in a tiny apartment with a pug named baggles. I wanted to have two kids and my own family. but my cancer destroyed everything. this girl from my orphanage, regina called me gods failed experiment"
"i'm sorry pi"
"why are you sorry?"
"i don't know. I just am. I don't know what to say. I can't say it's okay or it will get better"
"you could've said something like fish are friends, not food"
"I already have that tattooed"
"that you did"
"yah"
"i'm sorry you can't love me or anything. I'm sorry you can't date me or anything"
I cupped her face and kissed her. and just like the first time, it was the greatest feeling ever
"hey I still love you and I'll always will"
"but I can't give you happiness"
"I already have it because of you. and I'll never lose it"
"oh leo..."
"come here"
I pulled her into a hug and we just sat there in silence until we fell asleep in each other's arms.
