BEEP!..... BEEP!... BEEP!...

I groan, leaning my head on my sleeping girlfriend's shoulder as the monitor beside my bed continuously reminds me I'm alive. Of course, I'm thankful for the steady background music, it's much more steady of a beat than It used to be. 
My entire life I've suffered from multiple heart problems. Murmer, check! Weak heart, Irregular heart-beat, check! Check!
The big scare happened two weeks ago, when I fainted while backstage at my girlfriend's concert. One minute, I'm headbanging to Ash's rough, beautiful voice, then I'm dizzy,  then I'm face up in a bright ER room.  The doctor informed me that the many surgeries that I had as a child were only temporary fixes to my problems. Then he said my least favorite set of words.
HEART. REPLACEMENT. SURGERY.

Yesterday, I checked into the hospital after being informed of a viable donor.

"Relax, babe. The doctor knows what he's doing" Ash reassured me as she rubbed my back, soothing my worries.
" but, Ash, anything can go wrong. And I'm not ready to leave yet." I whined, leaning into her body as she sat in bed next to me.
"Don't talk crazy, y/n" she answered, before we were interrupted by the doctor entering my room.
  " it's time"

8 hours later, I wake up and my eyes slowly adjust to the blinding overhead light. Only then do I notice that Ash isn't beside me like she said she would be, instead her guitarist Nikki is sat beside my bed.
" welcome, back sleeping beauty" I smile at him and try to sit up in bed only to cause pain to shoot through my chest.
"Woah, take it easy" he commands, moving to help me get comfortable.
"Where's Ash?" I get a sad expression from him, before he answers
" don't you know who gave you the heart?"
His straight face made me believe him for a minute and I whimpered in response,  before his lips cracked into a smile and he burst out laughing.
" oh my god, you should've seen your face. I had you so bad" he struggled to breathe as he spoke.
" Nikki,  you are such an asshole"
" what did you do to my girlfriend, Misery?" Her voice brings my attention to the door
" he said that I got your heart" I answer her as she moves beside me, pulling me into a gentle, but much-needed hug.
"Nik, I said to watch over her, not test out her new heart, you jerk " she growls at him. And I giggle at his face, he was scared shitless. She then turned to face me, placed her hand on my chin and connected our lips in a deep kiss.
" and... that's my cue." He said, getting up.
" y/n, I'm glad your feeling better" he added before heading out of the room.
Ash and I pull away to catch our breath but my arms stay wrapped around her.
" told you, babe" she said, letting go of me, only to climb into the bed beside me again.
" yes, you did." I responded,  with a smile, before kissing her again.
" now, you also said something about, testing out my new heart" I playfully remarked. She giggled in response.

" let's just see how it survives the night, okay?"

" awww, okay. NOS4A2?" I suggest, finding the tv remote.
"Oh yeah, that'll get your heart pumping"
