Without realizing, the day came. We both had no idea what was in store for us.
We were just walking down the street when I felt something in my gut telling me something was wrong. I turned to FC with a scared, concerned face and then crashed to the ground.

"Shu!" He cried and dropped down beside me, a tear rolling down his cheek.
"Shu, what's happening?!"

"I think...... I think I'm dying....."
I managed to smile weakly at him.
His face morphed from confusion to pure horror.
There was a woman standing a few feet away from me, completely mortified. She covered her mouth with her hands and pulled out her phone to dial 911.
"Don't!" I called out to her.
She dropped the phone.
"There's no cure, no escape, it's over for me...."

"Shu....."

"Aphmau...."

"Huh?"

"My real name, it's Aphmau...."

"Aphmau..... In Aaron..."

"Nice to meet you Aaron...."
I gazed up into his sparkling black eyes as they continued to well up with tears. He wiped a tear away with his jacket.
"It's okay to cry..." I said.
He just cried some more.
By now a small crowd had gathered around and people were snapping photos. I could tell this made Aaron angry, but he tried his best to hide it.
I felt hot blood fill my mouth and my ears, I couldn't hear anything. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't. It felt like I was forcefully being turned inside out by someone desperate to reach my insides and get their sharp clawed fingers on them. I coughed and blood bubbled and spurted out, getting some on Aaron's face, but her didn't seem to care.
I could feel myself letting go, my bones seemed to disintegrate because I couldn't move after that. But I managed to say a few last words.
"Aaron..... I..... Love.. You......."
Then my vision went blurry and turned red and blood seeped through. I heard a few final cries of, "no you can't!" And "please don't!" And "I love you too!" But then it was gone.
