"I have some bad news for you, and some even worse news" the nurse said, obviously trying to be funny.
"Ha ha" I replied sassily at her, but regretted it straight away. That wasn't necessary of me. She just smiled at me, like usual.
"I'm afraid that scene this morning wasn't temporary. We'll have to keep you here for a while now." she said, beginning with the bad news.
"The worse news is that you need that transplant now, within two days, and we haven't found a donor yet."
That broke down the four of us. I was terrified, and so was mum, dad, and maybe most of all, Calum. It tore me apart to see him like that.
"I love you. So much. No matter if things go bad, which I know they won't, or if things turn out alright, I love you. You are the reason why I've been smiling so much lately. You are my only positivity in life right now, and I hope that will last for a long time. I need you to begin and feel safe again, honey. No matter what I do, I'll always make sure that you're alright. I would risk my life for you, Camila. I love you so, incredibly much," I heard Calum tell me. I was going in for surgery now, because at noon the next day, someone had decided to give me their heart. I hated that I depended that much of others, but again, they told me that I wouldn't get the heart of a healthy bogy without warning, so this would be a heart that wasn't going to be used anyway.
I was rolled out of the room and down some corridors, with the three people I loved following closely. I watched Calum. He was now almost smiling at me, telling me that this would turn out perfect, and that I would live a beautiful life. After minutes of pain from my parent's telling me how much they loved me, I was asking if they could hurry up and get it done.
"Take care," Calum told me just before the doors closed, and I was left to the doctors. They put a needle in my arm to give me fluids, and eventually put a mask over my face.
"Breathe in and out with big lungs, and close your eyes when you start to feel tired," the gentle lady said, and I did so.
