I heard William as he yelled at mine and his mum. He knew what it was like to die. He knew. And I knew I was dying. He was telling the truth, I was already gone. Yeah, I was awake now, but I wouldn't be for much longer. I was about to die. And I knew that he needed to know I loved him too. I'd been terminal since I was 8, I'm now 19, I knew my life was ending but I didn't know when. And now that I knew, I needed William to know that if I was alive for any longer, we could have spent every day together, but life it unfair.

"I love you too." I said. I watched as his face turned to one of happiness and he came over to me. We kissed like I was dying, like he was dying too. Somehow, I think he knew he was dying, but he didn't know how. We broke apart and he looked at me, tears falling down his face.

"I'm going. I'm dying, and I know it. And I don't mean dying like everyone else is dying, I mean dying like get the doctor I'm about to go. I love you mum, so much. I know this sounds stupid, this will never be enough to express my love for you. Ever. You've helped me through everything. You taught me how to speak these words, you taught me how to walk, talk and most importantly, you taught me about dying. Which is what I'm doing. And Williams mum, I don't even know your name, but I love you. Because you're so kind. Yeah, we've never spoken but you've been sitting here. You sped here for me. You got a lift in a police car just to be here. And, you created William." I said. No one questioned me as to how I knew that William and his mum got a lift here.

"My name is Rose, Williams middle name." She smiled gently.

"Baby..." mum cooed.

"I love you mum, and Rose, and Will, I love you so much. You saved my life. For a day, yeah, but you still did. If you didn't save me then, I wouldn't have met you. I miss you already. I really do. I love you so much, I don't even know how to express it. Mum I'll miss you. I'll miss you Rose. And William. I'll miss you all." I cried.

"Bye baby." Mum said.

"Bye Alex." Rose said.

"Don't." William said. Tears flew down his face. I nodded and I closed my eyes. This was all I needed. My heart was still beating, but I died three months ago. I was on life support. I wanted a doctor to come and turn it off.

To end my life once and for all.
