Only One Day More

i. See you in 24 hours

What would people do if they had only one more day to live? That's a question that's asked a lot, mostly because people know when their last 24 hours on earth begin. Demons in a human body tell you when your time has come. Some people find peace in it, others try to avoid strangers. No matter what, they will find you when your time has come...

Ant was really nervous every time a stranger talked to him. One day a stranger would tell him he had only 24 hours more to live. He really didn't want to die, he loved life way too much. And he was really afraid he would die a painful dead... "Hey, relax, what's wrong?" Dec asked. "You know how much I hate meeting new people." Ant answered. They were on their way to a party. Dec hugged him. "You're not gonna die, love, try to enjoy your evening." He smiled. "We just won another award!" Dec said enthusiastically. Ant smiled. Dec was right. They had to celebrate the fact the British public still loved them. "I love you." Ant said. Dec smiled and looked at his hands. "I love you too."

Ant was really glad Lisa didn't come with them. He really loved her and he didn't know what it was, but most of the time, he loved it more to be alone with Dec and just to have fun with his best friend. And since Dec was single again, he didn't liked it when they were out with the three of them, Lisa was most of the time the third wheel. He laughed as he saw Dec showing his most ridiculous dance moves. He wrapped his arms around his best friend. "I'm gonna have a smoke." Ant yelled in Dec's ears. Dec showed both his thumbs and continued dancing. Ant laughed and went outside.

Ant looked at the smoke he blew in the cold air. It helped him relax. His heart throbbed in his throat when he saw a stranger approaching him. "Ant?" The girl asked. "Yes." Ant answered as he threw the cigarette butt on the ground. "Can I have a picture please?" The girl asked. Ant relaxed. "Of course, come 'ere, pet." Ant smiled and he laid his arm around the girl's shoulders. The girl shot the selfie. "Thank you so much!" She said. "You're welcome." Ant smiled. "Can I have a picture too?" Another girl asked. Ant smiled and nodded. He laid his arm around the girl's shoulders, but she didn't took her phone. "Your time has come. See you in 24 hours." The girl whispered in his ear and she was gone. Ant turned completely pale. "Ant? Anthony? Are you okay?" he heard Dec ask, but he didn't react to it. He collapsed.

Ant had only one more day to live.
