"No. No." There's a strong conviction in his voice, even if his voice is growing weak. Nothing about that idea would be better.
He takes a moment to focus on getting air into his lungs; struggling with the way they threaten to collapse under the effects of the poison in his system. He's sure most of his organs have already failed, shut down and given up. But he needs his lungs. Just for a little longer.
"Tell Jackson... tell Jackson it's his job to make sure Greenburg stays off your case. Tell him I'll haunt his ass if he doesn't. Because, let's face it, Scott's too much of a pussy to take on Greenburg." He tries to laugh, fails. "Remember that I love you. That it was always you. And that no matter what, that would never change. That's what you're going do." He nods weakly, black and red blood mingling as he coughs again and it curls under his jaw to run down his neck. "You're going to go to a big, fancy college and you're going to fall in love and have beautiful, geeky, annoying babies that'll wear leather jackets like the little badasses they are. And you're going to annoy Derek, and be Erica's Batman. You're going to play video games with Scott and pick on him for being a sap over Allison. And you're always going to remember me. But not like this. Remember me strong, remember me loving you. That's what you're going to do."
