I'll be here

I woke up the next morning, finding it to hard to breathe. I sat up and saw my cannula had fallen out. Gerard walked by and sighed.
"Stop taking it out" He picked it up and put it back in.
"I didn't. It fell out when I was asleep"
"Shit, that's not good" He sat down and moved the tank closer to the bed. I picked up my laptop and opened it.
"You wanna watch a movie with me Gee?" He nodded and scooted closer to me.
"What movie?"
"That movie the fault in our stars. Have you seen it?"
"Nope. What's it about?"
"No idea" I clicked on it and pressed play.

About twenty minutes into the movie Gee pressed pause. I looked at him, confused.
"We're not watching this"
"Why? Is It because she has lung cancer?"
"Yes, it's just going to upset you"
"No it won't"
"It will Frank"
"I think it's upsetting you more" He sighed and ran his hand through his hair.
"It is upsetting me"
"Why?"
"Because every second you're dying, I can't do anything to help you and I hate it. You're my best friend I don't want to watch you die" I looked at him and hugged him. He hugged me back and rested his head on my shoulder.
"I don't know what I'm going to do when you're gone Frank.." He said quietly.
"I'm not leaving yet, I still have some time. We just have to make the most of that time."
"How? We're on tour for another six months. What if something happens on tour and you die. Like running out of air while you're asleep" I sighed and put my head in my hands. I started crying and he wrapped his arm around me.
"I'm sorry Frank, I've just made things worse" I wiped my eyes and lifted my head up.
"I could die tonight or tomorrow or a few months from now. No one knows, but I don't care, I knew that I was probably going to die at a young age and I am, I'm only twenty five. I haven't done anything I want to do. I'm never going to get married or have kids and I have to accept that" I looked at him and saw tears running down his face.
"Now can we just watch the movie?" He nodded and I pressed play. I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.
