Jacob's POV

When I get to the hospital the next day, Autumn and her mother and both crying as they stare at a stack of papers. "What's going on?" I ask. Autumn looks up at me and gives me a weak smile. "Jacob," She smiles. I walk over to her and hug her. "What's going on?" I ask again. Autumn hands me the papers and I skim through them. "Autumn you can't seriously be thinking about assisted suicide," I say as tears brim my eyes. "Jacob it hurts. It hurts to breathe, to move. It hurts everywhere. I just want the pain to stop," She says as tears fall from her eyes. "I don't know what I'd do without you," I whisper. She sighs and places her lips on mine softly. A doctor walks in, his eyes are soft as he looks at the three of us. "Have you made a decision?" He asks. Autumn looks at her mother and then at me before nodding. He nods and walks over to us to grab the papers. I hug Autumn tightly. "How does 6 o'clock sound?" He asks. Autumn nods as she rests her head on my shoulder. "I love you. I love you so so so much," I whisper. "I love you more," She whispers back. "Jacob, You are the love of my life. And I know that this is going to be hard for you. I want you to be strong for me. And I know there will be a time where you fall in love with someone else. You will find happiness again," She says placing a kiss on my forehead. "I don't want to love anyone but you," I whisper basically balling my eyes out. "Don't do that. Don't doubt yourself. You have to move on." Her words are stern but her words are soft. I nod and just hold her in my arms. 6 o'clock comes by faster than I wished it would. "You're going to feel a tight pinch. It will be all over in 15-20 minutes," The doctor says as he preps her. He injects something into her vein and once he does that, I crawl into the bed and pull Autumn onto my lap, cuddling into her small body. I place small kisses on her cheek. Her mother holds her hand and we all just cry. "I love you. I love you both so much," Autumn whispers. "I love you too," Her mother and I say in unison. It takes her about 20 minutes. Her grip loosens on her mother's hand and from around my neck. Her mother becomes hysterical. I place her limp body on the bed and place a kiss on her forehead. "You were my first love. I will never forget you, Autumn," I whisper as tears pour out of my eyes. You don't realize someone is gone until they are really gone. It didn't feel real. As I walked out of the hospital and called an Uber to go back to the airport to join the tour again, it didn't feel real. It didn't feel right. I wanted to text her, call her. But she would never answer. She was gone. Dead.
