Jonny...............
"It's true. I didn't want to live. If it was an impossible choice, but you made it clear to me. I wanted to live, Angel.Because I wanted to be with you.
""Ew." Angel said rinkling her nose. 'I hate how hospitals smell." She looked over at her kinda-sorta-boy friend Jonny. "You. kinda smelt like a hospital when we first met." She said giggling.
"No way!"
"Um, yeah!" The two laughed. Hard to guess they were both terminally ill huh? "jonny?" A tall owlish looking man with wide circle specs came out holding a clip board. "Jonny?"
"Oh, um, yeah!" Jonny said standing up. He was a little taller now, but still boyish at seventeen. Beside him, stood his polar opposite. Female, brown skin, black hair, warm dark eyes. Athletic, inter city material. IN other words, "Angel?" Jonny said holding his hand out. She took it smiling as they entered the white room.
Jonny lay down, him and Angel just watching t.v. "So....?" Jonny said switching channels.
"Do you, um? Think you'll get the um-"
"Heart? I dont know. Thanks to your moms financing I've been bumped right up the list but-?" She smiled a pure sad smile. "You never know, right." Jonny thought the urge to hold her and stroke her hair like a puppy. Poor Angel. She deserves life so much more than me. It's just not, just not fair! "It's not fair." Jonny muttered under his breath. "Yeah...." Angel said taers sliding down her face. "I know."
"Jonny?" The owl man was back. "Doctor illumantis. Jonny I have some rather......uplifting news."
"Oh?"
"Thanks to new developments we're able to perform the surgery either now or in one week's time." One wek? One more week with angel. Bbut what if-, "No. I want to do it now." Angel stared at him in disbelief. " I'm not going to run away."
The operation took place at St.Johns hospital at Six pm. Half way through the operation, Roshell, a younge friend of the patient went into cardiac arrest. She was put into the bed right beside her friends and another surgeon was called in to deal with the girl. Thanks to new developments, a suitable heart was found just in time. Sadly, the heart was eight hours away and organs can only last so long. Also the amount of time it would take to operate makes the task all most impossible. "She has a 1 ina 100 chance to live, at that." The doctor said shaking his head.
"I dont care! Save her!" Jonny said sitting up. HIs chest heaved under the new position.
"Jonny!"............................................................................ Angel lifted a limp hand.
'NO! I wont let you die, Angel, I swear!"
"I believe you Jonny......."
"Angel! Please! I love you! I cant-"
"Jonny? Live."
"I can't Angel! Not with out you!"
"Live. If you love me............live................."
