Gods and Monsters (SEQUEL I.G.G.Y) (Robert Downey Jr. fanfic)

The official end

I woke up to the sound of nurses talking, more like shouting at each other. The first thing I asked myself was how in hell I got in the waiting room and what happened that the nurses were screaming?
"We need to get over to room 104. There's a patient dying." The older nurse said quietly, as if she experienced it everyday...well, kinda.
...wait.
Roberts in room 104.
What?
WHAT?!
I ran for my life, being faster than the nurses. As I stormed into the room, my whole world seemed to crash down at this moment.
Robert was kneeling down in front of his bed, his head down, his hands literally grabbing the bed sheets. As the nurses opened the door, Robert turned to me, mouthing 'I'm sorry'
I didn't know what was going on, but I was crying, having a breakdown. One nurse tried to help me with standing, but I was far away from standing upright.
"Miss, you need to get out. I understand the situation but you need to get out." I stormed out of the hospital, tears blocking my sight.
Why? Why was this happening? Why me? Out of all people, why me?

2 days passed since the..thing at the hospital, and I still haven't heard from anyone what happened.
My life stopped 2 days ago. I stopped washing myself, slept in my clothes and didn't brush my hair. Everyone was making jokes about me, my parents were giving me shit and Lucy felt embarrassed that I was her sister.
Everyone seemed to think I took drugs or was raped, but there were worse things going on.
Nobody knew what happened to Robert.
Nobody knew, not even the principal.
Although my parents hated Robert, they still cared about him..somehow.
Robert wasn't coming.
Robert disappeared.

I was sitting in the math class, which had another teacher who was embarrassing me in every situation he could take.
Writing down notes and driving circles in my notebook, I started thinking about all situations.
Maybe Robert was fine and he took a short break.
Maybe he's at home and has to relax.
Maybe he's dea- no. Never.
A knock at the door pulled me out of my thoughts, making me groan mentally.
My principal held a note in his hands, which seemed like a kind of attest?
The look on his face told me that something wasn't right.
I was right about that.
He coughed before speaking up, looking around in the class and locking eyes with me, as if he knew I should be the one.
"I just got a call, which isn't positive. As you all know, your - uh - Maths and sports teacher disappeared and didn't show up for three days.. Uh, he got into an accident and uh.."
Tears started forming in my eyes, making my sniff which earned stares from my classmates.
"He survived the accident luckily. But two days ago, he had an attack....the doctors figured out that he had cancer. And he was very far"
Had?

....he had?
I couldn't take this anymore, so I started to sob uncontrollably.
"He thought that I'd be the best to just let it be, he was against chemotherapy and medicines...two days ago, on exactly 11 p.m, our beloved teacher Robert Downey Jr..." He gulped before speaking up again "died,"
Some girls were trying to hold back tears, some mouths were hanging open and some didn't even move. But then there was me, kneeling down, sobbing, gasping for air.
It all happened so fast.
Everything just flashed right in front of me.
..I didn't even say goodbye, I didn't even said that I loved him, that he saved my life...that there would be an 'Us' in just 7 months.
"The nurses found a note at his bed which is dedicated to Zoey Anne Greene." I tried to stand up with weak knees, shaking. "I'm so sorry for your loss.." My principal whispered, stroking my back.
I ran out of the classroom, opening the note with shaky hands.

"Dear Zoey,
I know you're mad at me. I know you will hate me and will shit on my grave, but I didn't want to tell you.
When you first hit your head and thought we had a baby...I wished it was the truth. I wished we had a baby. I wished we would be married, living in an beautiful house with beautiful children and dogs, just how you like. Traveling, hiking, swimming, hell, I would've all done for you. I wanted to travel with you. I wanted to grow old with you, even with you being that young. I dreamed of us, sitting at the beach, laughing at our children falling down and having sand in their pants. there were a lot of things I didn't tell you. Like the fact that I enjoyed the nights with you, even the time where we argued and wanted tof stab me. So many things left unsaid, but I didn't want to let you down. I didn't want to tell you that I was dying, I didn't want to tell you that right after all the things you experienced. it was mean, but I tried to save you as hard as I could. I'm sorry if I seemed like an asshole sometimes but I love you. I love all of you.
The night where I told you everything was okay? It was. It was because you were there. You were keeping me sane. There were so many things I wanted to say that night, spend a last night with you, feeling your body and smelling your scent the last time. But I couldn't. I couldn't leave you like that, it'd be worse. I decided to shut up, but not by raising your hopes. I'm sorry if I did. I'm sorry if you're crying right now, shaking or trembling. But don't forget me, I will always remember you, even if I'm up there. I will always look for you.
Always,
In love, Robert"
