MicroFic #21, by The Crusader

Originally posted on August 31st, 2009

He sat down in his living room and gazed at Cameron's "gift" hanging around his neck. All he could feel was failure. It's not supposed to happen like this. He thought. You said I was ahead of schedule; can't you give me a chance? Give us a chance? But deep down, he felt that it had to be this way. No matter how sweet and caring she could be, no matter how dedicated she was to him, she had to go. And the time for her departure would come sooner than he wanted it to. As he tried to imagine life without Cameron, John couldn't help but weep out loud. Once he started, he just couldn't stop.

Cameron watched him from outside, looking through the window. Her HUD magnified the image of John's face, and the tears that he shed. She couldn't stand this sight of him in so much pain, but couldn't ignore it either. She headed towards the front door, planning to go inside and find out what she could do to make him feel better Maybe getting him a gift? A real one this time? Perhaps she might buy his favorite ice cream? She new that humans had certain "comfort foods" as they called them, and for John it was chocolate cookie dough ice cream. But more than anything else, she hoped that he would let her take him into her arms, where she would hold him until he stopped crying.

She opened the door silently, not wanting to startle John. She stood at the doorway waiting for him to realize that she was there. When suddenly John's phone rang. He took out his cell phone, and with a hoarse shaky voice he answered

"Hello? Riley! I was worried about you."

Even though John's voice betrayed heartbreak, Cameron could tell that it was up to Riley to comfort John now. John had been waiting for Riley's call, and they would probably talk for a long time as usual. Cameron sighed, and silently opened the door, and walked back out. She had never been so disappointed in her entire existence.

Later that night, Cameron stood indoors, watching through the window. For the first time ever, she, a machine, found it difficult not to cry. But then John came down the stairs. She wasn't sure if he was going to address her or not, so she thought she'd wait for him to call her name. So she stared right ahead, waiting for John to star the conversation. Instead John stood behind her and said nothing.

"What is it John?"

"Can you come upstairs with me?"

John led her up into his room, and he climbed into his bed. He lay on his side; while Cameron remained towards the door just watching.

"Can you get in, please?"

Cameron complied by climbing into bed, next to John. At his request, she took her boots off. Then he pulled the rest of his blanket over her, even though she doesn't feel cold the way he does. He even draped his arm around her body, and she did likewise with him.

"I broke up with her."

"Why? She made you so happy."

"I won't ever be happy anymore. Not when you're gone."

He couldn't fight the tears, and Cameron was actually glad that he wasn't trying to stop. She wiped them from his face as he continued to speak.

"She came between you and me. I don't want that anymore. We don't have much time left, and I wanna enjoy it while it lasts."

"What are you saying?"

"I wanna put the past behind us. Just you and me, from here on in."

"You really mean that?"

He answered her by giving her a big kiss. It lasted a long time, but later that night John did go to sleep. Cameron who could not sleep, watched over him all night long. She wanted to find a way to halt the sun in the sky, so she could stay close to him like this forever.

If only she knew that John was making the same wish.
