"Luke I'm sorry." Haley sighed as she looked down at her lap. Luke, who was sitting across from her, sighed along side her. "I'm sick and it's just going to go down from here." she told him as she reached out and grabbed Luke's hand the rested on the table separating them.

"How long?" He asked, his voice cracking as his eyes watered. "2 weeks top." she nodded as Luke sniffled. "What am I supposed to tell Cobain? That her Mum just left us? Or should I tell her that you.." he trailed off not wanting to say it. "Just, I don't know Luke. You already spend most of the time with her."

She looked away from Luke's eyes as she thought of what he was supposed to tell the 3 year old waiting with her 3 uncles at home. "Tell her that I love her." She crooked as she scooted her chair up and stood, looking at Luke. He looked up to see the girl he fell in love with 4 years ago. He knew when he met her that she was sick. But as time went on, he got used to it. And as soon as it started to slip her mind, she tells him that she's going to die within the next 2 weeks.

"I love you." she told him. He gave a sad smile. "I love you too." "I want you to love in, get Cobain a new mum." she told him as he stood up and took a step towards Haley. "I cant make any promises." He said as he wrapped his arms around her. "Can you please try?" she muffled into Luke's chest. "I'll try baby." he let another tear slip down his cheek before he pulled away. "bye." he said as walked backwards, trying to memorize everything he hadn't in the previous years. "You're torturing yourself, go." She said as she watched him leave for the last time.

As Luke got into his car, he held it in until he got home. Thats when the questions were asked and all the tears fell.
