You Don't Want Baggage Without Lifetime Guarantees, You Don't Want To Watch Me Die

Roger nodded and turned to leave.

Samantha sighed and waited for Roger to leave before going back to her own apartment.

The next day Carter was coming back from picking up a few thibgs when he bump into Samantha.

Samantha smiled. "Hey Carter."

Carter gave her a small smile "Hey Sammy." he said softly.

"How you feelin' today?" she asked, trying to see if he would even be up to talking.

"Fine i guess." he said softly "Better then most days."

Samantha nodded. He must be taking his AZT then, she knew that. "Do you think we could talk later?"

Carter nodded "Yeah sure." he said.

Samantha smiled. "Great," she said.

Carter nodded "I'll see you later."

Samantha smiled and nodded.

A few hours later Carter gave Samantha a smile as she came inside the apartment.

Samantha smiled when she came in. She and Carter were alone.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Carter asked.

"I ummmmm.......I wanted to talk about us," Samantha said.

"What about us?" Carter asked slightly confused.

"Carter.......I think I love you," Samantha said softly.

Carter shook his head "You can't love me." he said softly "You can't love a dying man."

"Carter don't try to sell me that line," Samantha said. "Christopher was I dying man, and I loved him to the day he died in my arms, Roger is a dying man and I loved him too."

Carter sighed and sat down.

"Carter, I don't care if you're dying," Samantha said softly. ""For one, you don't know when that'll be, and for two, you don't deserve to die alone."

Carter sighed "I don't want to hurt the people i'll leave behind."

Samantha sighed. "Don't try to deny it Carter, don't try to hide it, you feel the same way I know you do," she said.
