Don't you ever let me go. [Matt Flyzik]

Keep you next to me.

Oh, and we're done.

Yep, this is the last chapter. DYELMG is officially finished. 

THANK YOU, AND GOODNIGHT. 

I'm ouutttttttt.<3

----------------------------------------------------------------

I felt empty and hopeless. If my cancer kicked into over-drive and killed me right now, I would be happy, thankful even. Hell, I begged for it. My world was completely flipped upside down now. The only time I actually become genuinely happy and fall in love with someone, I'm given a death sentence and can't do anything but push that person away. Poor Matthew. Four days ago, I told him I loved him, and he had to say goodbye today, because I couldn't see him in pain. I just wanted him to be happy, and forget about me, but something deep inside me told me that wasn't possible, but I ignored it. Like I said, I always hurt people. I wiped feverishly at my tears, ashamed of what I had just done, but knew it was necessary. It was silent for a few moments, but then the door swung open, causing me to jump.

I sighed. "Matth-"

"No." He stated sternly.

My eyebrows raised and my voice cracked. "Excuse me?"

"I said no."

"No what?"

"Soph, I got halfway out to my car and then I realized some things. I realized just how big of an idiot I would be if I walked away from you. I realized just how hard it would be for the both of us. I know more than anything, that I love you, and I know you love me too. You're the only person that's ever cared about the type of person I was instead of who I know, or what I do for a living. You don't know how much that means to me, and I know you aren't giving up on us, because we aren't that difficult. You're giving up because you're afraid. And God, dammit, Sophia, you need me as much as I need you. I don't care if you want me to go. I'm not. I'm here because you're everything to me. It doesn't matter to me if I have to miss a million tours to be by your side. I WON'T let you go through this shit alone. And-"

"Matthew-"

"Don't interupt me!" 

His eyes pleaded with me.

"I will always be here for you, Sophie, no matter what you're going through. Yes, this is hard as hell to deal with, but I don't give a fuck. When you love someone, especially as much as I love you, you don't give up. You can't fucking give up. If I lost you to this damn illness, it would hurt, but if I wasn't here for you when that happened, it would kill me. So, if you want me to go, you can say it all you want, but you'll have to get several people to drag my ass out of this room. I'm not letting you go, Sophia, so don't you ever fucking let me go."

I sat there in silence, completely astounded at the things he had just said.

"I'll always be by your side...through all of this." He murmured slowly.

My eyes brimmed with tears and spilled over quickly. I couldn't turn him away, I didn't want to anymore. My voice still evaded me, so I held out my arms and he rushed into them. For the first time in a long time, I knew everything would be okay. Even if I didn't pull through this illness, he said he would always be there, and he was. He was there by my side until the pain ended, and it was over.
