"at least you know your crush doesn't like you back, and it's not something confusing to keep you up at night."

i laughed, disguising my bitterness, but regretted doing so when my throat released blood instead of air.

jennie gasped, her beautiful face morphed into shock as she grabbed a glass of water, forced me to lean forward, repeating apologies and words of comfort and encouragement.

when she had to leave, she stopped at the door and told me, "whoever it is isn't worth all this lisa, do something about it because i can't bear seeing you like this, okay?"

if only she knew how wrong she was.

jennie was worth anything, all the pain, and suffering and trauma the world had to offer, jennie was worth it all and so much more.

i'd do anything she told me, but this time i wouldn't, i was in too deep, too infatuated.

instead, i would let the disease kill me, continue forcing out flower petals, drawing out blood, as thorns cut out my insides.

i would await my inevitable death.

and i would love jennie until the last breath.
