Chapter 13: Fair
"The answer is no. I won't do this. I won't go through with this."
"I'm not saying we do it now. I'm saying we only doing this as a last possible solution."
"I understand John but I rather die than live like a machine."
"John, do you mind leaving Chloe and I to discuss this. We'll let you know about our decision later."
"There is nothing to discuss, I'm not going to do this."
"We are married and we need to make our decision together." Oliver spoke in a sharp tone. He had never spoken to Chloe in such a way before.
"Whatever you decide, I'll be here to support the both of you." with a gust of wind John left the married couple alone.
"Ollie—"
"You have been so set on dying that you have not given anything a chance." Oliver continued to speak in his sharp tone.
"I'm the one dying here so I get to make the decision."
"I'm the one who married the dying person. That mean I'm going to be the one that has to live with the consequences of your decision."
"That is exactly my point. That is exactly why I'm made the decision I made. That was why I left." Chloe regret the words as soon as they came out.
"You left because of me. You thought that I was too weak to handle this so you left."
"Oliver, you are the strongest person I know even stronger than Clark but I know you. You have a hero complex and you want to save everyone but you have to realize that you can't save me. This crystal thing that John is talking about isn't going to save me."
"At least I will have you."
"But you won't really have me. I won't be able to touch you." Chloe touch his face. "I won't be able to hold your hand." Her hand slide down to hold his hand in hers. "I won't be able to kiss you." Chloe gently kiss Oliver's face. Kiss him between the eyes, then on his nose, his cheeks and when she kissed him on the lips it was a soft loving kiss.
Oliver lean his forehead on Chloe's. "It's not fair. We were supposed be married for a long time. We were supposed to have the family we never had growing up."
Chloe's gently wiped the tears that fell from Oliver's eyes. "You can still have all that."
Oliver shook his head. "You are the only one that I love. I don't care if I can hold you or kiss you. I just want you to be here."
"It won't be fair to me. I will have to see you get hurt and not be able to kiss the wound away. I won't be able handle not give you the family we want. I can't handle watching you grow old while I am frozen in time forever. I'm not as strong as you. I won't be able to go on when die. Most of all, I won't be able watch you not have the things we wanted to have. Even worse than that, I don't think I'll be able to handle it if you decide that you are going to have all those things with someone else despite how happy I would be."
"That would never happen." Oliver said quickly.
"But I would want you to. I would want you to have a wife and kids. I would want you to watch your children grow up and for them to have their own children. I would want you to be happy. Don't you want that for me too?"
"Of course I want that for you too."
"Then you won't ask me be the ghost in the machine again. You rescued me from that life once before. Please, don't make me go back."
AN: Sorry I didn't really know how to end this chapter so I ended it there. To be honest I'm still debating if I should save Chloe or not. We'll see what happeneds. Please review!
