One more day... One more day before my body breaks down.

Not only my body, but also my mind, actually my whole life.

I know! It's sad, but I saw it coming.

Two years ago, I was diagnosed with leukemia. I assure you, I fought. For a while I could , but now I felt it. The battle was almost over because I've become weak.

I don't want to be weak. I just want to be strong for Noah, my parents, not to mention Julie and Flynn. Noah is my twin. We did everything together. We played guitar together or sometimes I played the piano. I went with him to his lacrosse training. I loved it so much! 

Julie and Flynn are my best friends. We were in the same program and did a lot together. Usually with Noah around because we're a two-package deal. They are a godsend. Before I got sick, I could talk to them about anything. Now I can still do that, but I'm not talking about my illness.

I know they're having a hard time with it as I am. I see it's heavier on Julie. Two months ago, she lost her mom, and now she's about to lose her best friend. I'm going to keep an extra eye on her when I'm not here anymore. Today I called everyone to say goodbye.

"Oh, my baby! You know dad and I always love you!' said my mother, who burst out in tears.

"Yes mom, I know! I will always love you too!"

Then I saw Noah come to my hospital bed with tears in his eyes. I immediately took him in a hug. The tears were in my eyes now too.

"I'm going to miss you so much," he whispered in my ear.

This was the moment. I couldn't hold my tears anymore. It hurts so much to leave  people behind who love me without wanting it.

"Me too, brother," I replied to him.

We stayed in each other's arms for a while until we heard Julie and Flynn enter the room. As soon as Noah was at a safe distance, they walked as fast as they could towards me. I had to laugh because of this, but at the same time my grief became even greater. 

This happy feeling I had for a while, I will never feel again. I was so happy with all the feelings I've felt in my short life. In the 17 years I've existed, I've had almost encountered every feeling.

Except one...Being in love! That must feel really great. As I said goodbye to my two best friends I asked them to stay because the feeling was there. The feeling that I was going to walk from the end of the world. The feeling that the light I see now wouldn't be seen for long.

Julie and Noah held a hand of mine. I gave my best friend and my brother a squeeze to show it was there.

I closed my eyes and the light went out.
