Chapter 5 Back in my studio apartment , I counted out my last bit of cash and mailed it off . Five years . I'd sold everything I could , worked day shifts at diners , spent nights serving drinks and singing karaoke at clubs . Finally paid off every last debt . My body was completely destroyed , but whatever . It was raining outside . I curled up under my blanket , holding onto one of Mom's old sweaters . So warm . Ring ring ring . My phone woke me up from a dream . Dr. Harris , my oncologist . " Aren't you supposed to be here for chemo today ? Where are you ? " " Dead . " " Riley !

" " I'm broke . I'm done with treatment . " Half an hour later , an ambulance dragged me to the hospital . Dr. Harris again . Guy's way too nice for his own good . " Dr. Harris , you're not into me , are you ? You're like twenty years older than me . That's pretty gross . " " Smart mouth as always . I covered this round . I'll figure out the rest later . Just focus on staying alive . " " You've been a doctor so long you're basically running a charity . No wonder nobody wants to marry you . " " Where are the pills I prescribed last time ? " " Gone . " " Gone ?!

That was a month's supply - you took them all ?! " He rubbed his temples and sighed . " You were doing okay before . What the hell happened this past month ? " I stared out the window at some birds chirping . Living or dying felt exactly the same to me . " Your condition's critical . You don't have long . A week , a month , three months ... hard to say . " " These are stronger . Take three when the pain gets bad . Remember - three max . " Before he finished talking , I twisted open the bottle and dumped a handful in my mouth . How many ? Didn't matter . As long as the pain stopped .

A week or three months - made no difference to me . After the pills kicked in , I went to Pine Hill Cemetery . That's where Dad was buried . Third time visiting since he died . Mainly went to check out the plot I'd picked for myself . Cheap area . I'd paid thirty years upfront at the beginning of the year . When I die , I'll be right next to Dad . Won't be too lonely .

Sobbing like a broken animal .

I hadn't cried in years . Dad's dead . Mom lost her mind and died alone . [ busted my ass for five years paying off their debts , finally almost free , and then - terminal cancer . And the fucked up cherry on top ? The love of my life cheated on me and destroyed my family . I yanked out my phone and called the number I'd kept for ten years . He picked up immediately .
