Mateo and Rufus both end up getting the Last Friends app. They meet there and hit it off quickly. They FaceTime once before deciding to meet up to spend the day together.

Last Friends
Rufus and Mateo spend a lot of the day trying to do new things. They did a lot. Rufus and Mateo visited Mateo's dad in the hospital and all three of them made memories at Make-A-Moment and the World Travel Arena.
Mateo, Rufus, and a few of Rufus' friends all go to the club to sing karaoke and have fun. Rufus and Mateo go up to the stage to sing American Pie by Don McLean. The fun is short-lived because Peck and his gang show up to try and kill Rufus for jumping him before.
Mateo and Rufus get away from the club and ran back to Mateo's house. They both agreed to stay in bed for the rest of the night, but Mateo had gotten up in the middle to make tea. It had set on fire and Rufus was too late. They were both sent to the hospital to help treat them, but Mateo had died.
Rufus went to Mateo's dad's room to leave a note for him if he were to wake up. After that, while he was walking back, he listened to the video of Mateo singing before walking into the road.
