"What? Fynn, why are you saying this," he's never acted like this before it was completely out of the blue. "Because," he exhaled and the poisonous oxygen escaped from his lungs, "ever since I was young o had felt the absence of love, I always wished I caught a deadly illness so I could eat the attention, the love, the care I wanted from my mum and dad growing up but I am now all grown up, I no longer crave someone else's attention to make my soul feel contempt expect yours, " he brushed a finger over my cheek as I looked into his eyes with fear. "And now that I have it, you're losing me..." I refused to believe what I heard. "What," I bellowed in denial. "Fynn, tell me you're going to live, tell me!" I heard a soft sigh from him as a tear trickled out of my eye sockets and ran down my cheek as he brushed it away with his soft touch. "I'm sorry, Cara Mia. The nurses are still running tests, turns out the neck slice wasn't the only thing that happened." I felt the light feel of his lips on my forehead before I heard his soft voice again. "Why don't you wait outside until they're done? Grab some food, alright?" I nodded my head as I left.
