Broken Love

       'I don't know how much longer I'm going to hold up,' Finny thought to himself. He knew that his injury was more serious than the doctor had though; he knew his time was dwindling down.

       "Hey Gene, I need to tell you something." Finny mumbled to his best friend, who had sitting at the side of his hospital bed since he was first rushed to the hospital a couple days ago. Gene immediately shot up from his seat to stand right next to Finny.

       "Yeah? What's wrong?" Gene had said, a worried tone in his voice.

        "We've known each other for quite some time now, two years I believe, and over that time, I feel that the bond between us has grown strong, real strong. Since the day I met you, I've always had this feeling in my gut, that whenever you said anything, did anything...it would make me feel as if I were soaring. I guess what I'm trying to get at is..is that I-I love you. I always have," he stopped for a moment to groan and shift abbot as the pain was taking over his body, making him weaker and weaker by the moment. Finny's eyes start to flutter shut, as he lets the pain take him over, giving up this battle he was slowly loosing since the beginning. As if Gene was aware of Finny's current state, tears stared rolling down his flushed cheeks, just as rain runs down a window.

           "Finny.....Finny I feel it too. I mean, I love-love you too. I always will, and I never meant to get you into this situation." He grasped his best friend, his lover's hand, the tears streaming down harder and faster by the minute.

           "Please promise me that you won't forget me, Gene, please....." and he was gone. Phineas had lost his battle, and he let the light take him. Gene quickly pulled him into a tight embrace, sobbing into his neck and cradling his lover, now lost.

           "No no no no....please Finny, please come back!" Gene started yelling. He placed kisses on various parts of Finny's body: his neck, his cheeks, and lastly, his lips. By this point, Gene had been sobbing so loudly that it had caught the art of multiple doctors and nurses, all rushing in and pulling Gene off of the newly deceased teen.

          "No, get off of me! No! Finny!" Gene continued to cry  as the doctors pulled him out of the room. Gene continued cry to his friend, the one who will always be in his mind, the one who he will always love, the one he will never, ever forget.
