I met up with Ethan once at Annie's and we sat there in silence.

"How are you? Are you feeling better?" He asked, clearly concerned.

"I'm fine, I guess..." I replied, Stirring the coffee around in the cup.

"Ariel Marie, You don't seem ok..." He said.

"I'm fine! Ok? You know...Actually, Maybe not! I have freakin cancer, and I'm basically counting the days until I die, Ok? Like How Hazel Grace Lancaster says: "I'm A grenade, I'm going to blow up, and I want to minimize the casualties!" I glared at Ethan. I sighed, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you," I said. He remained sort of distant after that. A bit later, I texted him:

Me: I'm sorry

...

Ethan: It's ok, I guess, everyone gets angry...

Me: :(

Ethan: :) Smile, At least we're alive, and together...

Me: Together?

Ethan: Uh, you know what I mean, Unless you sort of want to...I mean you probably don't but-

Me: It's ok Ethan, Sure, We can. If we're going to die, We should at least be together.

Ethan: :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Me: Lol

That was the end of our conversation.
