Joe wakled into the music room where his boyfriend was playing the piano. The tune of A Little Bit Longer wafted through the room. Nick's fingers trailed across the black and white keys before he fingers hit the wrong note, sighing he banged his hands on the keys in frustration.
"Nick? You never mess up A Little Bit Longer, is something wrong?"
A soft chocking noise echoed through the room causing Joe to walk over to his boyfriend quickly.
Joe wrapped his arms around Nick as he plopped himself on the bench.
Nick shook his head, before he ran his fingers across the keys once again trying to play the song once again.
Just like last time Nick's fingers hit the wrong key and he bent forward banging his head on the keys.
"Love, you could play this song in your sleep. Did something happen at the doctor's office?"
Nick's body started to shake as sobs took over, echoing through out the small room.
Joe reached over and pulled Nick into his lap, hugging him close as his sobs wracked his body. Nick buried his face into Joe's shoulder as he cried.
Eventually Nick calmed down, he pulled away from Joe. He still had tears streaming out of his eyes.
"What's wrong love?" Joe whispered.
"Joe, I'm sick."
"Okay, come on let me take care of you. I'll make you a bowl of soup and get you some medicine."
"No."
"What?"
"No, Joe."
"But I want to take care of you."
"Joe, I'm not sick like that."
"What do you mean?"
"Joe, I…I.."
"Nick?"
"I have leukemia."
"What?"
"I have leukemia."
"I heard you the first time love. But you are getting medication and you'll be fine right?"
Nick looked down not wanting to make eye contact, as he shook his head.
"What do you mean?"
An eerily silence followed Joe's question.
"Nicky?'
Joe's hand found Nick's chin pulling his face upwards so he can look him in the eye. He had tears streaming down his face as their brown eyes met.
"Nick love, you are gonna be alright right?"
Once again Nick shook his head; tears started falling down Joe's face.
"Nicky, please tell me you are gonna be alright." Joe whispered.
"Joe…Joey, I…I'm not responding to the treatment."
"What does that mean love?"
"I…I'm dying…Joe."
"No, no you can't die. You can't leave me. Don't leave me…please." Joe begged pulling Nick close and not wanting to let go.
"I'm not gonna leave you baby. I love you."
"I love you too."
Nick snuggled into Joe's arms as he went back to playing A Little Bit Longer. Joe's fingers tangled with Nick's and they played the song together.
Both of the boys had tears streaming down their face, as Nick's voice trembled as he struggled to sing the last verse of the song.
"So I'll wait 'til kingdom come.
All the highs and lows are gone.
A little bit longer and you'll be fine.
You'll be...fine"
