As you got into the car, the other door opened as you saw Mark entered and sat on the driver's seat.

You two were going to the hospital because you had to be operated, or your heart rather neeed to be checked. You already had an aching heart since you were just a little one. And now, today was the day it will change.

Mark looked at you with empathy, telling you that everything will end successfully. He has been with you all your life, being a friend, even almost like a brother to you but to him, you were someone he loved, his first love.

The way to the hospital was long and you were already fidgeting and tapping your feet without even noticing it. But Mark noticed this so he had to do something to get it off your mind. He turned on the radio to break the silent atmosphere.

You looked at him and he smiled back at you.

"It's been a long time since I heard this from my father's old radio." You hummed to the beat of The Beatles' hit song, 'Hey Jude' .

"This song just never dies." He said then sang the song which made you chuckle because he wasn't a vocalist, although the song fitted his voice so it wasn't that bad.

"Hey ______, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let it into your heart. Then you can start to make it better." He changed some of the lyrics which received a notice from you.

The both of you sang along together and when it came the climax, it seemed like the people outside thought that the two of you were crazy escaped mental patients.

"Naaaaa, na, na, na, na, na, na! Na, na, na, na, hey Jude!" You were singing happily and as you looked at him, your heart skipped a beat. It wasn't an aching pain that you felt but rather a feeling of relief, happiness, that feeling when you are safe, protected, loved. And it was none other than your best friend, Mark, whom you felt it with.

You were still singing the song when Mark just finished parking in the hospital's lot. He looked at you happily because he made you smile even if it was on the day your life will change because of just one operation. Inside, he was also worried but he chose not to show it to you because he knew that it'll only make you more depressed. Also, he was worried about what'll happen, if the operation ends good or not; he didn't know what he will do if you were gone in this world. And surely, if that ever happens, he will just regret not telling you how he felt for the past years you two have been friends, that he loved you and he always will.

You slowly walked to the waiting lounge while Mark talked to the receptionist. You were again fidgeting and tapping your feet repeatedly. Your heart ached faster and it was hurting your chest. You were having a hard time to breathed in heavily because whenever you tried to, your heart would just hurt more. After a minute, Mark came back and you stay calmed not wanting him to see you suffer. He sat beside you and held your hand.

"You will make it." He smiled as he squeezed your hand making you feel that everything will end up just great.

"Hey ______, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let it into your heart. Then you can start to make it better." He sang again and you felt a bit sleepy. You leaned on his shoulder carefully and surprisingly, your heart didn't ache with that one move. But as soon as your head touched his arm, you felt as if your inside was partying crazily.

When Mark finally had the courage to tell you how feels, he breathed in then opened his mouth to say the words he has been wanting to come out from it. "______, whatever happens today, I want to let you know that I-"

"I love you too."

He got shocked and looked at you. You sat up straight again and looked at him too.

"I always did, Mark. I've always loved you." You hugged him and he returned it.

Although you both knew that that day could be the last one for you, you both still hoped it wasn't, now that you told each others' feelings for one another. And so, the only thing you both can do was cherish the time you both have together before time chooses whether you continue to live or not.

Okay, why does this song remind me of our dog that already passed away? Weird. >_<
