----Niall's P.O.V------------------------

For the next two weeks she was spread out like frosting, needing to be with this person at this time and others after that time was up. The hour glass was draining and everyone wanted their portion of sand before it ran out. The clock was ticking down and with every day that pasted my worries grew. The monsters in my head became more evident, and spoke out more often. I kept asking myself what I would do without her, and I could never get an answer. I couldn't go back to normal, normal wasn't normal without her. She'd become my life, and now my life was dying. A part of me still had hope that she would get through it, that small piece of hope was all that was keeping me sane.

On August 7th, a particularly breezy summers day I took her out on a date. A dinner date to be specific. When I asked her to come on the date with me she didn't argue, she asked me if she had the need to dress fancy, to which I told her she could be as fancy as she wanted. She had to wheel around a small carriage with an air tank on it now, since her lunges are to weak.

On the night of the date I picked her up and blindfolded her, driving to my location with her. She was silent the whole ride, probably because it was comfortable. Even in the state she was in, she still managed to be more beautiful then any summer's sunset. Her eyes still had a small glint of happiness in them despite the fact that she knew her fate.

When we pulled into the small grassy lot of the park, she undid her blind fold, her bright blue eyes taking a moment to adjust to the dim sunlight. Her uneven breath hicked in her throat as she let her eyes roam over the park in which we were parked. The old oak trees towering over everything, making me fell so inferior. I grabbed my picnic basket and grabbed her weak hand, helping her out of the car. She smiled weakly as I did so, pulling herself up.

I walked her over to a clear spot as we sat down. Silence. That was the terrifying sound that filled the air for well over 20 minutes. The 20 minutes that I spent observing every feature of her body that I could possible take in; the small turn up of her nose, the length of her beautiful eyelashes, the colour of her lips and the angel of her cheek bones. Her perfection that I had become absolutely infatuated with.

"I-I'll miss you, you know," She stated, breaking the muggy silence. I silently thanked her for that.

"I'll miss my heart," I replied, dodging my eyes from her to the bright green grass.

"W-What?" She choked. Knitting her eyebrows together in confusion.

"You stole my heart, and as you go, it will go with you," I said, feeling the hot tears brimming up in my eyes.

"I'm sorry," she said, as I pulled her small frame into a hug. "I'm sorry I have to leave you. Everything was finally getting good too, thought it was all falling into place you know? But maybe something has other plans," She spoke as her words were muffled into my shirt.

I pursed my lips, trying to keep my tears back, not letting them spill. This little piece of me, in my mind, kept telling me that I didn't have long and I believed it, because I didn't.

I pulled her in, crashing our lips together. This was my goodbye. Our goodbye. The goodbye.
