He Won't Live Long, so I Must Vanish Chapter 22
Caleb's POVWhen winter came, I received a letter. It was from the boxing coach training center at a state university. The school emblem was stamped in gold foil on the envelope.George was so excited when he brought it to me that his hands were shaking. He was even more excited than I was.Someone had posted a video of the exhibition match online. A coach from the state athletic program saw it and asked around until he found out about the sports center.The school was opening an advanced training program for adult boxing coaches next year. There were only a few spots, and they wanted me to apply.So I went.On the day of the assessment, I passed the fitness test and fought three rounds in a live match.Afterward, an older coach with graying hair looked at me from the judges' table and asked how old I was."I'm 24 years old.""You're a little late. You won't get to become a professional fighter, but it's not too late to become a good coach."He checked a box on the form and n

Caleb's POVTwo weeks after the exhibition match, Mom came alone. Gia hadn't driven her, and Casey wasn't with her.She had taken the long-distance bus that only ran twice a week. It was already dark when she got off.Carrying an old cloth bag, she asked several people at the edge of town for directions before she finally found Grandma's house.When Grandma opened the door and saw her, her expression darkened.Grandma started to close it, but I stopped her. "Let her come in."Mom sat in the living room, rubbing her hands over her knees again and again. She glanced at the frame on the wall, then quickly looked away.She had aged a lot. A large part of her hair had turned white, and none of her old arrogance remained.She opened the cloth bag. Inside was a sweater, the one I had worn most often. I had left it behind when I moved out. She had washed it and folded it neatly.I took it without saying a single word."Caleb, I came to bring you home."It was the first time she had

Third-Person POVThe exhibition match at the district sports arena was scheduled for 7:00 pm on the 18th.Hazel had asked someone to get her a ticket. Her seat was in the far corner of the last row, far from the ring.The match had already started when she arrived.She couldn't focus on any of the earlier events. She kept one hand in her coat pocket, clutching the letter.She had written it on the day she proposed. It was three full pages long. She'd been so nervous that her handwriting was crooked, and she had drawn a lopsided heart at the end.After Caleb accepted it, he had never opened it. He'd said he wanted to save it for their wedding day.She had thought he would keep it forever.When the announcer called Grenton Sports Center, people in the audience began to clap.More than 20 kids walked onto the floor in matching uniforms. Levi stood at the front, his little face red with nerves.The music started, and the kids demonstrated their footwork and basic punches to the b

Caleb's POVGia came alone.A light rain was falling that day. She stood under the apple tree without an umbrella, her hair and shoulders wet.She knocked softly, as if she were afraid of disturbing someone.Grandma opened the door. She glanced at Gia but neither sent her away nor invited her inside.I stepped outside. Gia handed me a bank deposit receipt. The paper was slightly crumpled from her tight grip."I transferred the money. Check your account."I checked my phone. A deposit of 41,080 dollars had appeared in my new account, exactly the amount I'd calculated."Did you sell your car?" I asked.Gia froze, then nodded. "How did you know?""You wouldn't have had enough savings to come up with that much so quickly."She lowered her head and gave a miserable, bitter smile. "Caleb, I'm sorry."I said nothing.She continued, "The year I tore up your college acceptance letter, Casey was crying at home. He said he would never be able to do anything strenuous, let alone learn

Third-Person POVThe day they returned to the city, Hazel didn't go home. She went straight to Caleb's room.The box of collectible figures was still by the door. She took them downstairs one by one and loaded them into the trunk.She glanced at the matching mugs and tossed them into the trash downstairs.She threw away the scented candle, the projector, and the wooden sign that read "Casey's Dating Experience Room", too.Casey stood in the hallway watching her. He didn't cry or try to stop her.Gia walked past Casey, took out the commemorative boxing gloves signed by the world champion, and put them in a trash bag. Then she threw them away with the collectible figures.Darlene sat in the living room and watched them carry things out, one trip after another. She opened her mouth several times but never said a single word.The room was empty now. All that remained was the set of dark gray sheets Caleb had put back on the bed. They were neatly made.Hazel stood in the doorway fo

Caleb's POVEarly the next morning, Gia knocked on the gate. She hadn't slept all night, and her eyes were bloodshot. In her hands was a stack of papers.Mom, Casey, and Hazel stood behind her.Mom still looked a little unwell, and Hazel was helping her stand. Casey stood at the back with his head down. He was no longer wrapped in a blanket.Gia handed me the stack of papers. "Take a look. You deserve to know."They were Casey's surgery records from three years ago and the echocardiogram report from the day before.The last line read, "Heart function is essentially normal."I stared at those words for a long time. "What does this mean?"Gia swallowed. It took her a while to speak."Casey got better a long time ago. The surgery was successful three years ago. He made up the whole story about not living past 25."The basket fell from Grandma's hands, scattering beans across the ground.I looked up at Casey.He finally raised his head. There were no tears on his face, and he l
