This Cruel Reality

Chapter 3

"Wha- What's wrong Mom?" I asked her worried.

"I got a call from your doctor." She said, "He said that he was sorry about the news. I didn't know. He explained everything."

My heart dropped.

"Why didn't you tell me?" She asked.

"I. I didn't want to hurt you." I told her.

She hugged me.

"It's okay Toby."

She didn't stay for very long after that.

She left and went back home.

I was kind of relieved that I didn't have to tell her.

The doctor did that for me.

Ever since I was told the news, I thought about the people who I barely got to know.

The people who I don't even know the names of, but spoke to.

I wonder if those little conversations changed anyone's life.

I wonder about those meetups.

The places I didn't get to go and the places I did.

The people I did and didn't meet.

VidCon, ComicCon, VidInc. So many things.

I met so many.

I don't even know my doctor's name.

The one who told me how long I have left.

I still don't know how to do this.

I checked the time, 10:43 PM.

I decided to vlog.

"Audience? WHA- What are you doing looking at my couch audience?" I said starting off my vlog.

I told them that I fell asleep on there and laughed. Then, moved on.

I didn't really say a bunch.

I did my average everyday outro and screamed "BOOP!" Once again.

Then, I went to YouTube and posted it.

I yawned and went to bed.
