Asanda | Colton
•••••••••••••••••••••••
"...what?!"
"...I... I have cancer. Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia to be more exact."
"..Wha...How...why...Col--"
"...I found out I had it about two months ago."
"I... That was--"
"---When I first called yes."
"---Why did--- When did--- How did you feel when..."
"When I found out? I was shocked at first and then I was dead. It was like my spirit just zapped out of me and I had no will to live anymore... I was just a lifeless thing of the human I once was..."
"Oh Colton!---"
"I wanted to ... I wanted to kill myself Asanda. Right there and then..."
"C-Col--"
"Let me finish. That's when I decided to climb up on a 30 foot building, ready to throw myself all the way down to end the misery that is my life but I decided to do one last impulsive thing before I fall to my death so I dialed a random number that led me to you and after I have spoken to you, as clichè as this sounds something told me to just hang on a bit longer and I did and I haven't regretted it since. I've recently started treatment but I can't guarantee that it would kill all the cancer cells in my body..."
"C-Colton... are you saying that..."
"I'm going to die Asanda and it took me a long time to accept that. I'm sorry for being selfish and not telling you anything. I wanted to have some normalcy for once in my life before I go but I can't say that I've regretted what I've done because you mean a lot to me Asanda and trust me when I tell you that I really do love you. "
"Don't-- Don't make it sound like a goodbye!"
"Asanda---"
"It's not fair Colton! You can't j-j-just spring this up to me and think that I'll just accept everything that you're saying!"
"What do you mean?"
"You think I just approve of you breaking up with me just because you have cancer?"
"...I thought--"
"You thought?! Thats what you always do Colton! You think its fine to think up everything for me without ever getting back to me and that isn't fair!"
"I--..."
"C-C-Colton?! Colton what's going on?! Are you alright?!"
From here on out there is literally ten chapters left, oh my word!
