End or no end

Elliot slept on. With the work she did in the medical ward, along with the news and period of crying, her body was absolutely drained. Sleep held her tightly as she lay there until, her eyes slowly opened. She could hear Jacob breathing in her ear. She say anything not wanting to break apart. Not wanting to move from the spot she lay. After a bit of silence, finally looked at Jacob, "What blood type are you?"

End or no end

Elliot closed her eyes as Jacob climbed behind her and wrapped his arms around her. She rested her back against him chest and held his hand, trying to make every inch of them touch. She bit her lip and squeezed her eyes shut, "I don't want to miss this...."

She wasn't sure when but at some point in their silence, holding each other, Elliot managed to fall asleep in his arm. Comfortable and knowing it wasn't going to last.

End or no end

Elliot looked at Jacob as he cried and stood, walking over to him. She sat down next to him and wrapped arms around him, burying her face in his neck. She closed her eyes, "Maybe.... we can find a cure... The Robots... They didn't care who lived and who died... They never looked... so maybe.... maybe you don't have to leave me..."

She kissed his cheek before climbing properly onto the bed. She looked at him and patted the spot behind her. She didn't want to talk anymore... She just was to sit and lie with the love of her life...

End or no end

When he looked away from her, Elliot cried a little more and pulled out of his arms. She looked up to the ceiling and stood. She bit her lip, "M-maybe I shouldn't stay here.... Get used to not falling asleep with you while you're still here...."

She didn't far though before she sunk to the ground. She didn't want to leave. She didn't want Jacob to leave. She looked at the ground below her and swallowed, "Why.... did you let me fall back in love with you... If you knew you were just going to leave me? How do you think I would have reacted... finding out that you have been dying this entire time and... just lying to me?"

End or no end

Elliot shook her head as he tried to calm her down, asking her not to cry. She couldn't help it, he was dying that wasn't going to be news she took lightly. She leaned into him, still crying, "I don't want a few years with you! I want a life with you.... Three years of knowing you wants enough the first time around... It isn't going to be enough this time."

She sniffled, "I so badly want to imagine growing old with you... Having kids with you... even just marrying you..... But none of that is going to happen.... none of that can happen... and I can't handle that...." She looked at him, "It isn't fair...."

End or no end

Elliot sat up on the bed's edge and sat with her back to him. She sobbed, she didn't know if it was because of the realization of what she had done to people, those she had killed or the fact that she still didn't know how to stop Jacob from dying. She buried her face in her hands and shook her head, "I... I deserve to know Jacob.... I deserve to know that I can't imagine a future with you..... That you are going to leave me here.... alone.... I lost you once already... but I forgot... I don't know if I can deal with losing you again and knowing for the rest of my life that you are gone...."

End or no end

Elliot didn't move her eyes away from the ceiling, scared to meet his eyes. She sighed, "That pain.... The other day... It wasn't just a normal headache..." She closed her eyes, "I saw... them trying to make androids.... and bodies rejecting the robotic parts.... The people died slowly....." She fingered her necklace and bit her lip again, "Are you going to die? Because... I don't know if... If I want you to," She reached into her pocket and pulled out a small SD chip, "Give me back my memories...." She wiped away tears that she realized were starting to fall, "I swiped it when I came and got you...."

End or no end

Elliot rolled over to face him and squinted, "Surely there are gun and ammo crates to be dealt with then.... after our big move."

She laughed a little and kissed him, "Fine... Lie here and do nothing," She kissed him again before kissing just below his jawbone. She rested next to him and rolled onto her back. She stared at the ceiling. She bit her lip, "You're still dying... aren't you?"

End or no end

Elliot cocked an eyebrow, "Well, I just spent the last three hours patching up your soldiers. I'm done working for the day."

She rolled off of him and turned her back to him as she curled up, "Go make yourself useful somewhere," She teased. She looked over his shoulder at him, "If you keep lying around like this, you're gonna get chubby," She poked she stomach, which was far from even squishy and grinned.

End or no end

Either way it seems that he would end up in another city :P
