Day one
Marco’s POV
Another one was lost today, one more part of my heart line.
It’s not a huge surprise, nothings new.
Each day you lose one line, that’s just how it works.
I am pretty sick of the monthly appointments that I have to go to.
All of the checks they do on me to see what I’m going to die of, there’re all pointless.
I know I’m going to die, they know I’m going to die so what’s the point of wasting time on me?
There is no possible way for them to save me.
I’ve accepted it, I’m okay with dying because there’s no one here who is going to miss me.
To all the doctors I’m just another “Case that can’t be saved”.
Everyone in class was talking about Jean,
the one other student in the school who wouldn’t talk about their heart line no matter what.
It makes me wonder if he’s in the same boat as me.
Not getting too close to people ether,
to make sure no one misses him when he eventually passes away.
It’s the normal thing people like us do. We don’t want people to worry, even if it means no one will remember us.
I made a mental goal to try and talk to him, just to see if my theory was right.
I didn’t honestly believe I could talk to him, he was a popular kid that no one knew anything about.
He was the type of guy people looked up to.
He was extremely smart supposedly and the whole school was “friends with him” even though no one has ever talked to him.
I went to my normal spot in the schools garden,
just to watch the birds but I found something else there that caught my eye way more than any stupid bird would.
Him, Jean Kirstein just sitting there watching a couple from a distance.
The closer I got the more I could tell who the couple was.
It was Mikasa and Annie, they looked so cute together but “I didn’t think they were dating”.
I said the last part out loud and made Jean turn to me and start to laugh, his laugh was so deep, it suited him perfectly.
“Mikasa just asked her out, that’s why you haven’t seen them together”
“Is it a good guess to say you are the reason they are together?”
“Wow good guess, it was me. They looked too cute I had to do something”
His overall personality was just amazing, all of the talk about him is wrong.
There’s so much more to this guy.
“So, I haven’t met you before, are you one of the people in the fan club for me?”
“No I’m not” I started to laugh, there’s a club dedicated to this guy?
“Good, if you were I would have to walk away and stop talking to a cute guy like you”
I started to blush, what in the world did he just say? Is he just kidding or does he mean it?
“You look shocked has no one ever called you cute?”
Before I could say anything he grabbed a piece of paper and rote down what I assumed was his number.
“Sorry I have to get going but call me so we can talk more”
He gathered his things got up and left, leaving me back in my element with the birds,
the now just pretty birds. Their old spot of beautiful was taken by a certain Jean.
That was the only good thing about my day,
latter in the day I was called back to the hospital.
