Jake

"Are you Daniel Summers' relatives?" The doctor asked us all; holding his clipboard up, only his eyes looked up his over glasses. He continued to look around as both Daniel’s and my parents are arriving. They jogged as fast as they could and as Dan's Mom arrives, she hold on to the doctor and shakes him, without even noticing the three of us. "Doctor, is Daniel doing to be alright? Please tell me he's alright. I don't want to lose my son anymore. He's the last one left for me." Struck by her words, I don't even know if I comfort her now would make any difference. I should be ashamed of myself, even showing my face to her doesn't even make any good.

"Are you Daniel's mother? Yes he will be alright. But he lost too much blood so we need some blood donors here. I'm pretty sure you will be most compatible with his since you are his mother." He fixes his glasses the time his Mom let him go. "Apparently his blood type is A+, while I am type AB. I don't even know who has the same blood type as he is. Although there was one time that someone donated blood for him when he cut his wrists and lost too much blood too. I don't even know who that person was. "

My body went ahead even before I can think of volunteering myself. I raised my hand, waving it so that they can see me. "It was me who donated before. Daniel and I have the same blood type. I'm willing to do it for him." 

All of their eyes are on me now, somewhat amazed, stunned of what I just said. No one ever knew it was me who donated before. It feels like I'm getting weaker as the continued to look upon me like some sort of trash. Yes, you should do it. After all you are the very reason why Daniel's life it at the edge of a knife. Keeping my thoughts to myself, I opened my mouth and was about to say something before his Mom turned to face me cut me off. "You, m-monster! My son loves you! How dare you?! I always treated you like my own Jake! And this is how you repay me?" 

She was about to pounce me when my Dad grabbed her by her shoulder and my Mom trying to setter her down. I swear I would gladly let her do it to me. It may sound stupid but I guess she has every right to do it to me. I won't mind her killing me in front of my parents as long as I could help Daniel to live. I'd give every part of me to him, even if it means giving my heart to him so that he could only stay alive I would.

The doctor guided me inside and has me seated on a chair. He grabbed some stuff in the cupboard, a small clear bag, hose and needle. For all I care now is after doing this, Daniel would be alright and I'm going to have a talk to his Mom. This is the only way I can help him.

Soon after he finished preparing the things he needed, he sat down beside me and gave me a quick briefing of what will happen after this. Alright Jake, here is what's going to happen..... " His words faded into my mind. They never came into me. Still he kept on talking. Please do it as soon as you can. I don't want any need those things. I've been through those over and over again.

My patience almost tipped over like an overflowing glass. He may have realized how eager I am to do it the moment he became silent. He sighed before he could start everything. "Okay, you seem to be ready for this and you don't even have any look of turning back."

"Just do it please. I need to save him and don't tell me to relax cause I've been trying to do that. I apologize if I'm being rude."

He nodded once again before grabbing a strip of rubber. He stretched my arm out, resting it to a table and then tried hitting my arm with his two fingers looking for my pulse. Soon, he found my vein and tied the top part. Without a warning, he smoothly pierced the needle through my skin, causing my whole body to jolt. Blood started to flow out of my body, through the hose into the bag. It fills slowly and the clear color turned reddish black. I can somewhat smell the rusty scent of my own blood.

I looked across the room knowing that Daniel is just a few meters away from me, behind those curtains where there were constant movement and voices yelling for something. I wanted to get up the chair but moments later I can feel my body numb, not able to lift a single muscle to help me out. "Jake, stay put. I know he's across there and we're doing our best to keep him good. To tell you honestly, I know how it feels to sacrifice for the one you love just to keep him alive. Don't worry, he's safe."

I quietly nodded in agreement and looked down to my arm. I can almost feel that I'm draining all my blood out; it doesn’t bother me if I lost it all. I slowly closed my eyes and took some rest. This has been a long night already and I just feel too tired. I'm too stressed out of what happened even earlier today. All the busy preparations, meetings and the rest are too much for me to handle. But all those times, he was always beside me, supporting and ready to give me comfort when I'm all out.

I tried to remember those things we did before. Every single touch of his hands on my body makes me feel well, every kiss we shared made me love him back even more and lavished for his lips as we come closer together. I don't want any of those memories to go into waste, no matter whatever it takes me to save everything. The soundtrack of his laughter, cries, whimpers, moans filled my ears, lingering on his voice as it kept on playing on my mind. Even the first surge of love striking between us like electricity, still I kept it within me. Dreaming about him tonight won't be a bad idea, but after trying to register that this has happened, I suppose I can deal with that later.

"Jake, it's finished. I recommend you should rest for a while here before you head outside. And tell his mother that he's going to be alright, okay?" Tapping my shoulder, I slowly opened my eyes and looked at him directly and them to my arm. He took the needle out and put some cotton and bandage around it, leaving me as soon as he's done. He got up and made a quick move towards the curtains and vanished. 

I walked out of the room, limping and feeling my body numb and to my surprise; his Mom welcomed me in a tight embrace. "Jake, I'm sorry. You even risked something for Daniel even though I should be the one doing it. Thank you."

Even though my arms still feel heavy, I managed to raise them up and hugged her back, tightly. She needs it now more than I do. It isn't the time for self-pity rather, for comforting the mother of my boyfriend. After all, she's like my second mother too. "I'm sorry too for what I did to him.. I don't think I can be worthy for him.. "
 

Tears fell down quickly, running all the way down. “No, you shouldn't apologize, it wasn't your fault. It was an accident, so don't keep blaming yourself." And with that, I started to feel at peace.
