“Ryan, I think something’s wrong.” Krys said.
Those words jolted Kaspar from his sleep. For a moment, he wondered if he was dreaming as he saw Krys fall off the bench. He moved over to her with swiftness and picked her up. Her entire body shook and her lips trembled. When she started to gag, he reached over for the orange bucket next to them. Once he placed it in front of her, she started to vomit into it without control. The vomiting was so fierce that she only had a few seconds in between each evacuation to breathe.
This was it, Kaspar thought. There was a feeling of guilt inside when it didn’t hit him as hard as he thought it would. However, he told himself that he had been anticipating this moment for so long that he was almost desensitized to it. Still, there was a massive feeling of sadness that gripped him on the inside. He fought back the tears in an attempt to be stronger for her.
As he held her, he reached into his pocket for his walkie. He cried into it telling everyone to stop and pull over if it was safe. Krys was very sick and she needed some kind of medical attention. When the words were said into the device, he could feel the vehicle stop dead in its tracks. Krys finished vomiting and wiped her mouth with her sleeve. In all the times that she was sick, she never looked this bad. Her face was pale and her lips were blue. She was gasping for breath.
The doors behind them opened and the rest of the crew filed into the back. Kaspar saw Harvey, who had a concerned look on his face. With a simple shake of the head, Harvey’s eyes dropped. The rebel leader had a syringe in his hand and moved in on Krys.
“No,” Krys said at the sight of it. “No more, please. I just want to rest.”
“Are you sure? This can make you feel better.” Harvey replied.
“I said no. It’s over, Sam. Just let me be.”
Harvey nodded his head and turned. He told the others to file out and give the two inside some privacy. The door shut behind Kaspar and Krys again. Kaspar looked deep into his lover’s eyes and tried to picture her healthy, happy, and free once again. His heart was sinking at the thought of this being the last image of her that he would ever see.
“Not yet,” Kaspar said. “Not like this. Take the meds.”
“Why?” Krys asked.
“It’s to help you.”
“Ryan, I’m ready to go. I’ve been suffering for so long. I just want it to end, the suffering, I just want it to end.”
Kaspar could not fight back the tears any longer. His grip on her body grew stronger. He lifted her head close to his. He didn’t care if she had just been sick. He brought his lips close to hers and kissed them. After the kiss on the lips, he gave her several pecks on her cheek.
