It all started with the weight loss. From the war and being starved I was already unhealthy skinny, but I was literally skin and bone now. Will started to notice and made me eat more, but no matter how much I ate I still seemed too skinny.

Then came the coughing up blood. I couldn't stop coughing and wheezing. 

The final straw was the pain in my ribs and lungs.

Will rushed me to the infirmary and that's when they told me.

I had lung cancer.

Will started to cry and I held him close. 

"I'll be ok, alright? I'm strong," I said into Will's ear. 

Will only sobbed harder.

"I can't have anything," Will said. "I finally find my mom, she dies. My father is never around. Now my boyfriend had lung cancer. This isn't fair," Will cries into my shoulder. 

We stayed and cuddled for the rest of the night.

The next week after, I started chemotherapy. 

Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo,

I started to improve. Will was happier than he'd ever been since I was diagnosed.

Until it all went downhill. I was skinnier than ever, lost my appetite entirely, and could barely finish a sentence without coughing up blood. 

I'm counting down the days to go.

Will tried to keep it together for me, but I saw all the pain beneath it. 

This just ain't livin',

The chemo hardly improved me and I couldn't help but want to strangle the Fates.

Percy wasn't enough?

Tartarus wasn't enough?

Giants kidnapping me wasn't enough?

Almost dying from shadow traveling wasn't enough?

Wasn't anything good enough?

Will was the only good thing I had left. 

And soon, I would have nothing. 

And I just hope you know,

I looked into Will's eyes and saw shattered glass staring back at me. I raised my chapped lips to his and kissed him because I knew every kiss might be my last.

I will not kiss you

Lips are chapped and faded 

Will brought me a McDonalds happy meal every day because he knew it was my favorite, no matter how embarrassing that was. 

"I love you Will," I say.

"I love you too Sunshine," he says and I crack a smile.

Yes, the hardest part of this is leaving you.
