I can't sleep

I can't sleep.

Looking up at the plain white ceiling, I fiddle around with my fingers as I contemplate whether or not to call y/c/n.

I grab my phone from my bedside table and type in my passcode. Scrolling through my contacts, I stiffened when the door handle to my room creaks open. My finger lingers on y/c/n's contact until the door bursts open.

Stifling a scream, I roll out of bed and hide by the side of it. Wincing as my IV pushed deeper into my vein. Shit, this is not how I imagine dying. Another groan was heard as loud footsteps break the silence. The door shuts lightly as the footstep near me.

"Y/n? You here?" A voice asked. Instantly, I jump up to my feet as I glare at the culprit.

"Is this what you do every night?" I asked y/c/n. He gave me a sheepish smile and scratches the back of his neck.

"Well, not every night, but some nights," He replies. I roll my eyes at him and sat at the side of my bed. He follows me and sat down beside me as I snuggle into his warmth. He beams down at me and stroke my hair softly. "Why aren't you asleep yet, love?"

"Sing me a song," I said, smiling up at him as he chuckles. He gently lays me down onto the bed along with him as we now lay face to face. He lifts up a finger and traces my face. Starting from my cheekbones to the bridge of my nose, then to the tip, and all the way down to my lips.

"Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My my my, my my my, my-my-my my-my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

Tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My my my, my my my, my-my-my my-my
Right in the moment, this order's tall

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And in the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines"

I stare at him longingly as he taps my nose with his.

"Come on, love," He says, "you know the song." I roll my eyes as our voice starts to harmonize together.

"Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split
I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?
Now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
Come on skinny love
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my"

Our voice falters, and the silence slowly consumes us. A small tear rolls down my cheeks as I cuddle closer to
y/c/n. I'm trying to cherish as much memories I can with him.

I've been fighting cancer for almost all my life, and I've given up. I don't know how long I have, but I know it's close.

Stroking his hair, I know that he has fallen asleep. A sad smile spreads along my lips as I whisper softly.

"I'm so sorry for letting you down, y/c/n. You mean so much to me, but it's time to let go. I love you," With that said, I breathe out my last breath.

Only thinking about y/c/n himself.

Author's Note
Hey guys! So here is a chapter for all those cancer fighter, and I hope you enjoy.

Remember to never give up, and to also remember that this is all just a test from God. Once you're cured, you'll be proud knowing that you've just won over cancer, and that you are a fighter no matter what.
