jacob

jacob was afraid of falling in love yet here he was falling for a boy who was dying in mere span of less than 160 hours. each second they spent together it was spent with each other, trying to savor every last bit of each other as they could before it was their last.

love tears you apart, and makes you feel like your lungs are losing air when your just starting to fall. it makes each fiber in your body ache and your heart do this weird thing where it feels like it's in your throat each time you're around them. each stupid song that plays makes a grin come on your lips because it reminds you of them, each couple you see you wish it could be the two of you,

jacob wished troye had longer to live, he wished he would've saved him. he couldn't help but blame himself each and every night he watched troye slowly start to loose the color to his cheeks, his body was now always cold to the touch, but jacob didn't mind.

he was going to hold on to him no matter what.

"when i die promise me something?" troye questions as jacob laid beside him.

"it depends on what it is?"

"you'll move on with your life after i die. i don't want you being sad and wasting your life on me," he mumbles reaching his cold hand out to touch jacob's.

jacob squeezes his eyes shut tightly, troye had a point. but if he was put in this situation he would know exactly how hard it would be for jacob to just forget about him.

jacob couldn't forget, how could he?

but he had a tendency to like to please people he loves needs.

"i promise," the lie drips from his tongue like the rain falling on the window, its easy and slow. telling troye the truth would end up in a fight because troye was stubborn and didn't understand jacob cared.

i'll never forget our story.
