BOY GOES TO HOSPITAL, AND TO ROOM ..646,
BUILDING A, SUITE 3. GIRL IS LYING IN THE HOSPITAL
BED.
Boy: Oh my God, are u okay??
Girl: .......
Boy: Sweetie!! Talk to me!!
Girl: I.....
Boy: You what? YOU WHAT?
Girl: I have cancer and I’m on life support.
Boy: ....>breaks into tears<....
Girl: They're taking me off tonight.
Boy: Why?
Girl: I wanted to tell you, but I couldn’t .
Boy: Why didn’t you tell me?
Girl: I didn’t want to hurt you.
Boy: You could never hurt me.
Girl: I just wanted to see if you felt about me the same as I
felt about you.
Boy: ?
Girl: I love you more than anything. I would give you the world
in a heartbeat. I would die for you and take a bullet for
you.
Boy: (crying)
Girl: Don’t be sad. I love you and I’ll always be
here with you
Boy: Then why did you break up with me?
Nurse: Young man, visiting hours are over.
The boy
leaves and later that night the girl is taken off of life support
and dies, but what the boy didn’t know is that the girl
only asked him those questions so she could hear him say it one
last time. She only broke up with him because she knew she only
had 3 more weeks left to live and thought that it would cause him
less pain and give him time to get over her before she died.
NEXT DAY
The boy is found dead with a gun in one hand and a note in the
other.
THE NOTE SAID:
“I told her that I would take a bullet for her, just like
she said she would die for me.”
