So many updates! I'm proud. I haven't updated for a while now I'm just updating like crazy. Woop! Alright. Let's  get into the chapter. Woop.

James Pov
"C-cancer?" I asked.
My breath hitched. My stomach dropped.
"What stage?" I choked out.
"He's in late stage 4. Not much time left." The doctor said. Tears started to spill.
"Someone call Eliza. Get John, Laf and Herc." I heard Washington say.
He's dying. He doesn't even know who I am anymore and he's dying.
He's so young. Why should anyone have to go through this? Did he know? He must've. No wonder.
'Death wish kind of thing.'
Death wish.
He was trying to go through life and get everything done as quick as possible because he knew.
He triple majored because he knew he'd never get to do those things.
He wanted to be an adult because he knew he'd probably not live to see the day. He went to the Army.
He tried to do everything while he still could. That's genius and so so stupid at the same time.
"Will his memory come back? Before he...before he...dies?" Thomas asked, stifling his sobs.
"It's a possibility. Let him rest. We will see in the morning." The doctor said.

-Time skip-

"You are Alexander's friends?" The nurse asked. John nodded.
"He wants to see you." She said. (That's what she said....help me. xD) We walked into the hospital room.
"I'm sorry." He said.
"For what?" Eliza asked.
"For forgetting. For not telling you about the cancer. For leaving. For everything." He said.
"P-please don't die." I said.
He chuckled softly and then started coughing extremely hard.
Blood came out of his mouth. He wiped it off.
"Only a few weeks till I'm out of history." Alex said.
"You will forever be in history." Laf said. I felt the tears in my eyes well up. "You can't die. You can't." Herc said. "Everyone dies. Some earlier then others." Alex said.
"Jesus Alex! You're being all smart now but in my classes you were chewing gum and putting spit balls on the ceilings." Washington said.
"S-sir." Alex started and then went into a coughing fit. "I wouldn't tell you this if I wasn't literally dying but I always looked up to you as the father I never had." Alex said.
I looked at Washington and saw the tears in his eyes.
"Fuck you Alexander. Making me cry and shit." John said, wiping his eyes.
I can't imagine him dead.
I don't know how to imagine him dead.
