She only had the needle in for 30 seconds before she cleaned me up and stuck a cotton swab over the poke hole. "You're spent sweetie, no more than a pint every few hours." She batted her pretty little eyelashes and acted like a pint was more than enough.
"You'll need to keep yourself fed, and your blood pressure up!"

She grabbed me a sugary drink and a sandwich from a mini fridge. A man had popped in to collect the bag of blood while she watched me eat. "Is there any way you can take more?" I asked, it was fairly muffled considering I was chewing on the driest sandwich of my life. "Well, an average healthy teenager can lose between a pint and a quart of blood with little to no consequences if they keep the fluid balance-" She didn't even get to finish her sentence off before the intercom boomed 'Code Omega Room 12, all staff please respond'

She jumped out of her chair and half ran across the hall, I just sat there mowing down on this nasty sandwich. "Code Omega, that's blood loss I think.." I mumbled to myself thinking back to the stuff I picked up when Johnny and Dallas were in the hospital. "Room 12.. 12!?" Less than a second later I was dashing across the hall into the room, a few nurses tried to stop me, but soda was in there, and I'll be damned if I'm not there when he needs me. Though after seeing what I saw, I wish I'd never have looked.

His beautiful blonde hair was soaked in sweat, it clung to his stunning features, his skin was paler than earlier-if that's even possible, he practically looked grey. His eyes, his beautiful eyes were clouded over with a dull hazy glaze. He wasn't moving. I scanned the room, a surgeon had been trying to repair a muscle strand in his arm when something must've gone wrong. The pint I had previously extracted was already empty.

I walked out of the room as a man was attempting to use shock paddles on him, I went back across the hall and gathered the supplies needed to extract blood, I'm glad I studied her. I pushed the needle into my skin after cleaning a patch of skin and let it drain into the bag as I walked back into the room. "HERE YOU INCOMPETENT ASSHOLE!" That got some attention.

I remember losing my train of thought, my body started tipping over, my vision hazed until all I could see was black. Directly to my left was a tiny, luminescent, white orb. I was drawn to it, so naturally I wandered towards it.
I walked for what seemed like ages, the closer I got, the louder the ringing got. The orb slowly changed into a doorway made of blinding light, i whispered five words before taking my final step.

' I love you Sodapop Curtis.'
