Since the day I lost everything, he only had her. The day his family died in an accident and he was the only survivor, and the day his uncle abused him and threw him out to the cold and the cruel world, she has always been there for him. His one and only family. She took him in, helped him get on his feet once again and cured him. She made him start looking at the world as a bright and lovely place. She made happy. He only had her and now he was going to lose her; As she laid there in the floor, immobile, as if her soul was slowly escaping her limb body. A chill ran down his spin and he broke into cold sweat when he heard the horrible and non-human scream that pirced through the air, breaking the peaceful silence of the room. Luckily, their flatmate was at home, as he hurried to check on the now half-dead girl, terrified and confused as to what happened. He quickly called the hospital asking for an ambulance as soon as possible. As he finished the call, he ran to the boy now on his knees, and hugged him tightly while whispering comfort words to him. It was then that the boy realized that the horrible scream he heard belonged to none other than him. He shock his head off trying to calm himself down as he saw his one and only hope transported to the ambulance. He couldn't register what happened next as he fainted in the arms of his friend. As he woke up, he noticed he was in the hospital and see the gloomy and solemn expression his friend had as he was talking to the doctor, who in return only shock his head and put his hand on the friend's shoulder, apologizing. He was later informed that she had brain cancer and that her case couldn't be cured as it was too late for that. She only had one week left. The news devasted him and all he remembered us that he cried himself to sleep that night. He was definitely losing it as he could hear the gears ticking in his head and something break inside him. They visited her every single day, talking and chatting about everything and nothing, noting that these will be the last moments they spend together. It was finally the last day and he faced his friend about the fact that he couldn't live without her. His friend only smiled and hugged him. On their way to the hospital, they holded hands, talked, smiled and laughed with each other. It was the last laugh that share together. As they entered the room, they saw her smiling weakly at them as the made way to both sides of the bed. As the light of life was escaping her eyes, they holded her hands. The boy then took out a small knife and cut his hand open smiling, as he laid down next to her, as he let the blood run on the white hospital sheets. They both looked at each, closed their eyes and tell in a deep sleep knowing that will never wake up to see the next sunrise.
After a while, their friend got up slowly, a twisted smile cracking his face as the tears ran down his cheeks:
"Ah~ I'm all alone again..."
