5 feet apart au

This is my favorite book. Hands down. I was reading it on the beach and i started crying. Oh well lol let's do this crap

Life with cystic fibrosis isnt exactly what rizzo would call peachy keen.

All cf patients have a strict regimen to follow and if you don't, you probably will barely make it out of that hospital alive. Well, maybe.

As for me, im getting out of here. Not exactly cf free, but im getting new lungs soon. In about 3ish weeks, you'll be seeing the new y/n l/n with brand new breaths with my brand new lungs!

I was hanging out in the common area with my best friend in the whole world, michael mell. He has cf and now bronchitis, so he's even higher risk than i am. Heidi's rule with cfers interacting is 6 feet apart at all times, but we were always a good 8 feet.

"Did you meet the new guy? Cf AND b capacia. He's on a new trial for some medicine that would supposedly cure his bc."

Michael said, afflo vest humming.

I turned my head in confusion.

"Oh. Does this patient have a name?"

"Connor murphy."

Michael said. At the exact same time, i hear heidi yell

"CONNOR MURPHY!"

followed by crashes and running away. Oh boy. I get up, leaving michael alone. I follow the noise to an empty hallway, except for a tall boy with fluffy brown hair that went just past his ears. He was dressed like JD from the heathers, except less.. i guess less goth.

"Y-you should probably go talk to heidi again.."

I said, afraid he was going to break the 6 feet rule. I cant risk new lungs to someone who looks like he frequents 711 for his weird ass coping methods.

"Maybe I should, but I wont,"

He said as he stepped closer.

"So, you gotta name?"

I was almost too stunned to speak.

"I- uh- y/n. L/n."

"Nice to meet you. Im gonna leave now."

He walked past me, still keeping the 6 foot distance thanks to me scooting against the wall.

Woah. Did that really just happen?

Connors pov

Y/n.. y/n.. y/n..

Why was this person all i could think about???? They seemed too good for me. Good as in a rule follower. But something about them was.. kind of irresistible in a way. Like, i want to see how they live their everyday life. This will be interesting

Y/n and connor spent the next few weeks developing y/n's app that was for people with cf. Connor took the right treatments, all while they stayed 6 feet apart at all times. However, y/n became restless. Y/n fell deeply in love with connor. They were certain that connor didnt and would never feel the same, but he loved y/n just as much. They went on their first official date tonight.

"So, l/n, you're getting new lungs in two days. That's gotta be exciting, huh?"

I swung the pool stick (?) Between us, him smiling at me.

"Oh, extremely. But i cant help but wonder something else.."

Connor turned to me with a sincere look on his face.

"You can tell me anything."

I felt weak.

"What's going to happen to us when i leave the hospital? Are you still going to hang out with me? Do you even like me?"

Connor's expression softened. For only a moment, i saw him for who he really was.

Apologetic and kind.

"Y/n, i know we haven't known each other for long, but i can promise, ill never let you go. Even though i will never touch you, hold you, or kiss you, i can promise that i will never ever stop lo- liking you."

The corners of my mouth curved into a smile.

"What did you say?"

Connor started turning a little bit red

"Im never ever going to stop liking you."

"Is that what you meant, connor?"

Connor laughed breathlessly and shook his head.

"Of course not, idiot, im in love with you!"

He yelled. I let silence ring in the air as we heard it echo slightly through the hall. Connor fixed the silence with

"i wish i could touch you."

I turned to face him, face flushed.

"I cant tell you how many times ive wanted to run over to you and hold your hand or hug you or- or kiss you! ive wanted to kiss you so bad but my stupid diseases will make it so i never will!! im in love with you, y/n. Now you know im not exactly the tough guy i am around here."

i was honestly pretty speechless, but i did manage to get some words out.

"Con,"

i know he likes when i call him that.

"i know it's hard, but i can assure you, i feel the exact same way. But, maybe for one second, we can forget the rule."

Connor turned to me, shocked.

"y/n, are you seriously going to risk having lungs for a no one like me?"

"well, yeah."

I dropped the pool stick (there has to be another word for it besides pool stick) and reached out my arm so connor could grab my hand, which he did.

holy shit holy shit holy shit

i looked up at connor and quickly took my hand away, laughing hysterically right after.

"I cant believe I just did that! i broke the rules!"

"it feels good, doesnt it?"

"yes!"

i said through giggles. i turned to kiss connor, but he was already back 5 feet apart from me

5 feet apart from love and adventure.

that's where ill be.




im so fucking sad about be more chill closing i cant even put it into words. theres a pill shaped hole in my heart and i feel like im going through a bad breakup. i miss it so much oh my god-
