Clark: I would go to my mothers

chill there

u can start having a life again

ruby: baby, my life is being with you and fighting this cancer

that’s what it is

i do not resent you, and i never will|

i love you and we’re in this together

After three weeks of chemo, it was clear we were losing. Cancer had eaten away at his hip, attacked his spinal cord, and created a blockage in his large intestine that necessitated a colostomy bag. We then chose to stop trying to wipe out his disease and focus only on treating his pain. He lasted five more weeks.

Clark: dr. kitano called

ruby: to say what?

Clark: email coming

um, the message said that she understands our concerns and thinks they are still able to provide us the original treatment and just wanted to talk to us more about it

ruby: WHAT!

Clark: um, she still wants us to keep the appt. on Tuesday

ruby: oh my god

I close my eyes and hear him tell me through exhaustion and tears how much he’s going to miss me after he dies. How beautiful I look sitting by the window of his hospice room.

ruby: got her email

oh my god

they’re going to do it

Clark: whenever Kitano does something totally rad i play that “Are you ready for the sex girls” song from Revenge of the Nerds in my head

ruby: HAHAHAHAHA

tell her that.

Clark: i should make her a mix tape

Now I live with my best friend, Cella. Some days I go to send her a message, searching for her name and the colored dot that accompanies it. I’ll try her even if she appears offline, because I need to tell her I’ll pick up coffee on the way home or ask if I can open the wine she left in the fridge.

And there it is: his name is right under hers. I move the cursor over it, and the thumbnail pops up with all of his information. His address, clarkstatehood@gmail. com. His icon, a photo of Patrick Swayze from Road House. A little gray dot, just like the one next to Cella’s name. As if he’s just not available to chat at the moment.

Clark is offline.

I want to say thank you for reading hope you enjoy.. Sorry for the short chapter this story is a story in real life...
