'I'm so sorry Mr. Moon, but it appears that Vince has left this problem too late, and we cant fix it.' The Doctor said.
'What...you...you mean he's going to...to d-die?' Howard asked beguinning to tear up.
'Im afraid so. Im so, so sorry.'
'No...no...no no no no nooooo!!!!!!!!!!' Howard screamed.
'Howard?' Vince asked poking his head around the door. 'Whats wrong? am i gonna die?' Vince asked, his voice all crackly.
'Im sorry Vince.' Howard said simply.
'Dont be, i deserve to die, i've done nothing but treat you like shit your whole life, and to be honest, which i never am, i couldve stopped all of this from happenning.' Vince said sliding down the door frame until his chin hit his knees with a thump.
'C'mon, little man, dont talk like that.' Howard said walking over and stroking Vince's hair, waiting for the "Dont Touch My Hair!" buisiness, but it was over before it even started.
'I cant help but imagine that song that you really like going round in my head now that it applies to me.' Vince said quietly, in an amazingly calm and gentle voice that no-one should ever hear coming for a "Party Fairy"
'What one?' Howard asked kneeling down beside him.
'The one that's sing by that woman with the gentle soothing voice, and the video of the nurse.'
'What, "This Woman's Work"?'
'Yeah, i...it...im so sorry Howard.' Vince said burying his face into Howards chest and crying.
'Shhh, shhh, I know you have a little life in you yet, I know you have a little strenght left.' He singsonged.
'I should be crying but i just cant let it show, i should be hoping but i cant stop thinking.' He singsonged back. Howard smiled a weak smile.
'All the things i should've said that i never said, all the things we should've done that we never did, all the things i shouldve given but i didnt!'
'Oooh darling make it go away!!!'
'make it go away.' Vince sang back quietly, before bursting into tears.
'What...you...you mean he's going to...to d-die?' Howard asked beguinning to tear up.
'Im afraid so. Im so, so sorry.'
'No...no...no no no no nooooo!!!!!!!!!!' Howard screamed.
