--NICOLES POV--
I sat beside Joe in the hospital bed.
I was upset, well, more in shock.
I honestly didn't think that Joe was capable of.. Of being so.. So terrifying..

He looked at me, with grey eyes.
"I'm sorry." He said.
I had no response. No words. Nothing to say.
"It felt so real.." He continued.
"I could see her, I could feel her kissing me but.. But it felt wrong."
I looked at him in question.
"She wasn't happy, I wasn't happy.. Were we ever meant to be more than friends?" He told me. His question was rhetorical.
"S..sometimes you just don't know.." I began, "sometimes you want to be but then you realise that who you love is someone completely different.."
We looked at eachother in the eyes..
We moved closer, ever so slightly.
Our lips.. So close..

Amy opened the curtains quickly, we moved back to our original positions, awkwardly.
"So, um, how are you?" She asked,
"Samol samol." He said.
We were both confused.
"What did you say?" I asked,
"Same old same old." He responded. "Sorry my speech is kind of slurred.. It must just be a schizophrenic thing."
Amy looked at me as if to say he has schizophrenia?
I nodded, and looked back to Joe.
"I don't think it's just schizophrenia." I announced.
"Please, love.." Joe began. Amy looked at me immediately. "-Nicole." He corrected.

When Amy left I sat beside Joe.
"So.. How many months are you?" He asked me, looking at my stomach.
"Just over three months." I said,
Joe leaned back in his bed and put his thumb and his index finger in the inner corners of his eyes. "He just.. He would have been such as amazing dad."
I felt so saddened by that. The way, even and older friend found him as a fatherly figure.

I put my hand on Stampylongnose's face. He looked at me. I kissed him on the lips.
No one could stop us.
I loved him. I hadn't moved on from David but I loved Joe.
And I think that all the deaths brought us together even so.

Our night ended back at my place. No Beth's bedroom to twist joes brain again. 
I sat on the sofa leaning on Joe, watching the fire burn.
Tom walked in the room, after all he lived here too.
"You missed the funeral." He said.
I turned to him.
"It was today?"
He was trying his best not to cry, "yep and I've got a good idea why." He saw Joe and I holding hands. I quickly pulled mine away.
"No- no it's tomorrow Tom! It was supposed to be.." I looked at the calendar.. I got the date wrong.. I missed my own boyfriends funeral because I was taking care of his best friend who also couldn't go and.. I hooked up with my boyfriends best friend the day of his funeral...
"Oh my god." I stood up and put my hands on my head. "Oh my god what have I done?!"
Stampy walked up to Tom, Tom put one hand on Stampys shoulder.
"Another friend of mine died today. She helped me. So please, if you won't forgive me forgive her."
He walked out of the house. Tom walked upstairs.

I need to move house.. But if I move in with Joe then, then Tom will hate me even more and he's the uncle of my child and-

--STAMPYS POV--
I sat at home.
I missed my best friends funeral.. Which I was supposed to speak at too..
Everyone is going to hate me so much..
I thought back to when Sqaishey was dying in bed.. Meet me in bed.. She said.. What did she mean?
I went to my bed.
She wasn't there.
No one was there.
Not Nicole.. Not anyone..

I sat down and pulled the duvets over me.
I cried and mourned for my friends..

I seemed to wake up in a heart beat, either that or any dream I had just vanished.
But when I woke Nicole was in bed beside me.
My eyes widened. I had not a clue how she got there.
Her eyes opened and she looked at me.
"I'm sorry I should have taken the spare bedroom in fact I should have just let you sleep I-"
"No, no you're okay." I hugged Nicole, "you're fine."
She looked so stressed, I kissed her cheek.
"I don't think I can do this I.." She stood out of bed. I grabbed her hands and took her waist.
"Our partners would wannus to be happy, right?"
She nodded and rested her head on my shoulder.

I made her a cup of coffee, I knew that she liked coffee better than tea.
I could see that she was still concerned with me. My voice was still slurred.
"Maybe you should go to the doctors surgery." She suggested.
"No." I said, before standing up. I became incredibly lightheaded, I put a hand on the wall before fainting.
Nicole caught me, "You're alright, come on let's take this slow."
I was practically carried by Nicole to the car where She drove my car to the Doctors surgery.

I walked inside the surgery and waited for half an hour before being seen too.
When I heard the news somehow I wasn't shocked or surprised.
Not even sad.

--NICOLES POV--

I let him go inside himself. I waited outside in the car.
Not exactly worried, more.. Thoughtful..
About an hour later he came back in, his face was pale white.
"Whats up?" I asked him.
"Motor Neurones Disease. Terminal."

I had no words,
He was going to die.
