Move In

Your eyes start watering. "Jack, baby, I love you too." You kiss until you're breathless.

"I think I've loved you for almost two years now but I've never dared to do something about it. I just think of how much time I've lost with you"

"No, you're not going to do that to yourself. I'm here now. I love you now. Let's not look at the past or the future, let's just live here and now."

"What will I do without you?"

You lay next to each other for a while and then you move to the bedroom and fall asleep in each other's arms.

You wake up the next morning and the bed is empty without Jack. You hear the familiar but awful sounds of vomiting. Not long afterward you hear the toilet flush and Jack walks on his toes back to the bed. His pale.

"Dammit, sorry, didn't want to wake you."

"Jack, you need to understand something. I'm here for you. The good and the bad.
