There were things in life that sometimes you didn't want to happen because you're too afraid of how it would end. But we could never avoid those surprising moments because that's what's making our life exciting and scary at the same time. I wished there was a pause, though. So I could at least absorb those moments slowly.
"That's the end of this mixtape, I guess. I hope whoever get to listen to this will see through me. I'm sick. Really sick, actually. I thought it's gone but it's not. I know I'm not going to be okay anymore. It's just so sad that I have to lose my sight. There are some things that prevented me from doing what I love to do before. My brain tumor is malignant, which means I have a cancer in the brain. I don't know if that's right. I only overheard mom and my doctor talking. But mom confirmed it afterwards. That I have brain cancer."
There's a long pause and all I could hear was a defeaning silence. I couldn't believe it. Jace had cancer. Was that the reason why he told me that I couldn't like him?
"There's one thing I want to experience before I, you know, disappear in this world. Mom said there's a new girl next door. She finds her nice. Maybe she's nice. I'd like to be friends with her if she would allow it."
Another pause. Was that me they were referring to? I think yes. After this mixtape, I was going to talk to Jace whether he liked it or not. I wanted to clear if this was real. Maybe this was recorded a year ago or months ago.
"I want to experience love. That's my last wish."
Then there's a click and the end of the recording.
