"I love you too." I say. When I pull away, "I'm gonna stay here until nine or something. Then I'm going to live."

4.50 AM

Upon getting into bed, I turn on my phone and download an app called the Last Friend.

I'm not spending my last day alone and I'm not going to let my family watch me die.

The screen loads and I'm given a form to fill out.

Name: Thomas Greene

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Height: 5'11"

Who you were in life: I was a brother and a son. Brought up in foster care for most of my life. I never found love.

Final thoughts: this is it.

I submit my answers, then asked to attach a photo. I don't have a lot of pictures on my phone but there's one photo when I went riding on my bike with Brenda and Minho and they stole my phone and took pictures of me without me knowing. I look happy. I chose the first one and submit everything.

A final message pops up. Be well, Thomas.

Almost immediately, a blue envelope appears in my inbox.

I click on it.

Subject: someone to talk to

I click on his photo and my breath momentarily disappears.

This boy is blonde, with soft brown eyes filled with...tears. Behind the beauty I can see pain. He must have taken this picture recently. I open a chat with him.
