I didn't understand what Noah meant by "together forever" until Chloe got her HIV diagnosis. In my past life, Chloe collapsed from anemia during the State Championship game. Her childhood best friend Noah insisted on giving her an emergency field transfusion. I fought like hell to stop him. Told her Noah had HIV. That if he transfused his blood, she'd get infected too. She didn't believe me. Noah cried and said he'd never even hooked up with anyone. How could he possibly have it? He climbed onto the stadium roof and threatened to jump to prove his innocence. Then he slipped. Fell eighteen stories to his death. To avenge him, Chloe and our classmates kidnapped me. She strangled me with her own hands. Her final words still echo: "You LIED about Noah! You killed him! Now you'll pay with your LIFE!" When I opened my eyes again, I was back. The day of the transfusion. I watched Chloe receiving Noah's contaminated blood. And I smiled. HIV? No big deal. -- "Ethan, I know you hate me. But this is life or death. Stop blocking me from saving Chloe!" Noah's words hit me like lightning. I'd been reborn. I looked up and met Chloe's furious glare. Anemia made her face ghostly pale. "Ethan, fine. You're too selfish to give me blood. But don't you DARE stop Noah from saving me!" "How was I ever stupid enough to date a selfish asshole like you?!" Her insults cut deep and made my heart go cold. In my previous life, Chloe collapsed during the State Championship. The blood bank's emergency supply would take hours to arrive. To avoid missing her event, Noah offered to give her a field transfusion. I fought desperately to stop him. Because I'd overheard Noah talking to some sketchy guys in an alley weeks before. "I have HIV. If I can infect Chloe, she'll be mine FOREVER!" I tried to stop the transfusion and told Chloe that Noah's blood was contaminated with HIV. She didn't believe me and accused me of making it up. Noah burst into tears and said I was slandering him. He climbed onto the roof to "prove his innocence" by jumping. Pretended to leap, then "accidentally" slipped. Fell from the eighteenth floor. Later, the autopsy confirmed it. His blood tested positive with a high viral load. I thought it was over. But at my birthday party, Chloe and our classmates kidnapped me. I still remember what she said while strangling me: "You LIED about Noah! Your slander killed him! Now DIE for him!" Snapping back to reality, I heard my classmates' insults continuing. "Ethan, how can someone be as disgusting as you? Chloe's anemia is severe. You won't donate. Fine. But blocking Noah? Seriously?" "Yeah, Noah's hot and kind. What gives you the right to compete with him?" "Ethan's just jealous that everyone likes Noah. That's why he's blocking this." This time, I took a deep breath and calmed myself. Then I stepped aside from the transfusion setup and smiled. "Go ahead. Give her blood. 400cc not enough? Take 600cc. Whatever you need for Chloe." Let them taste the poison they planted themselves.
Noah held the syringe and frowned as he pushed the needle into his vein. Everyone praised him and called him selfless and noble. Chloe's eyes filled with adoration. Only I noticed the tiny marks on his pale wrist. Scabbed-over needle tracks. Evidence of long-term unsafe injections and proof he carried the virus. After half a blood bag, Noah started swaying and looking dizzy. Chloe immediately pulled the needle from his arm and held him carefully. Noah insisted on standing with his voice full of false righteousness. "Don't stop me. I HAVE to finish donating." Then he swayed again. I watched his pathetic performance and knew exactly what he was planning. Sure enough, a male student spoke up. "We can't let Noah do this alone! Chloe needs more blood anyway!" "Let's ALL donate! " The suggestion met instant approval. "Right! Use the SAME needle! We're not selfish like SOME people!" "Yeah! If Noah's not scared, why should we be? This is our Loyalty Blood Pact!" I listened to their passionate speeches and wanted to laugh. Good classmates. Sharing everything, including HIV-contaminated needles. This lifetime, they'd finally achieve their dream of "living and dying together." The team medic walked in and saw students about to jab a used needle into their veins. She rushed forward to stop them. "Are you INSANE?! Stop! Multiple people using one needle? What about cross-contamination?!" The students didn't even flinch. "What's YOUR problem? You cursing us or something?" "We're all clean. How could we get infected?" "Mind your own business! If Chloe misses the championship because of delayed transfusion, can YOU take responsibility?" "You're probably working with Ethan! Trying to sabotage Chloe's competition!" Their mockery made the medic's face go red. She stomped her foot with wet eyes and ran out of the room. After she left, they continued. One. Two. Three... I stood outside the crowd and watched that lethal needle pierce skin after skin. Each puncture meant certain infection. The blood bag filled quickly. Then Noah brought the needle to me. "Ethan. Your turn."
