"I don't want to lose you." "I don't want you to lose this chance." "What did we do wrong to have to choose what's best for one of us and not both of us?" "Nothing. There were never any mistakes." "I'll be back tomorrow JT. I love you." "Good luck tonight T." "SPINE" is one of my first short stories I have written. It is about a young, high school couple that have been intertwined by fate and held by destiny. They must overcome a challenge that we are all too familiar with: cancer. As one of the main characters struggles to fight leukemia, his best friend and soulmate breathes life into him to see through the darkest days.
