**Kelleys POV**
Hayes and I sat in the waiting room nervously. My right leg was shaking uncontrollably as Hayes held my hand.
"He'll be fine Kelley. He's a strong little boy," Hayes reassured me.
"I know. But there is always that chance," I sighed, taking out my phone. To pass time I checked twitter, Instagram, and I got up to call my mom.
"Hey Kell, what's up?" She answered.
"Hey mom. Uhm, Josh is in the hospital. He's currently having heart surgery and it would be really nice to have you here," I explained. Even at this age, I still need my mom.
"Oh yes, for sure. I'll be right there!" I heard her yell something to my dad and then she hung up.
I sat back down next to Hayes again and leaned my head in his shoulder. He kissed the top oh my head.
"I love you," he whispered.
"I love you too," I said and intertwined our hands together.
Just then a nurse ran out into the waiting room.
"Mr. and Mrs. Grier, please follow me," she said. She sounded like she was worried.
Oh my god. Is Josh okay?
We followed the nurse through lots of double doors, until we got to a room with a window looking into an operating room.
"The doctor thought that..well..you might like to see your sons lasts few breaths. I'm so sorry. Your son, he's not going to make it."
I slowly crumbled to the floor, tears streaming down my face and screams escaping my mouth. I felt Hayes' strong arms wrap around me as my face went into his neck.
This can't be happening. My baby boy. He can't be dying.
"Mrs. Grier, would you like to go into the room and say one last goodbye?"
I slowly nodded and Hayes and I stood up and walked into the room, me still wrapped around him.
Josh was still breathing, but they were rapid, unsteady breaths. His eyes were barely open. I grabbed his hand in between mine and kissed the back of it.
"I love you so much Josh," I whispered. Hayes had his arm around my waist and was hovering over Josh with me.
"I love you buddy. I hope heaven treats you well," Hayes said and then moved a piece of Josh's hair and kissed his forehead.
Josh's chest went up one last time before the heart monitor went blank.
I dug my face into Hayes' chest and cried. This was the hardest I've cried in a long time. Maybe ever.
Josh was gone.

I can't fall asleep. I've been tossing and turning all night. I've cried all the tears I could possible cry.
"Hayes, wake up," I whispered, shaking Hayes.
"Hm, what is it babe?" He asked, rolling over to face me.
"I can sleep. I keep thinking about Josh," I said, sitting up.
"Kell, I know it hard. It's hard for anyone to loose their child. Josh had so much potential in his life and was such a great kid. Think about how happy he made you. Think of all the fun you had with him. I know nothing will be the same without him and there will be a hole in your heart that no one but Josh can fill," Hayes said. His words meant so much. What he just said was so deep and so true.
