To Write Love On His Arms

oo1

Austin was sitting in the doctor's office, nervously tapping his right foot on the white, dirty tile floor. He didn't like hospitals, not one bit. Even though he was been in and out of that god awful place constantly, Austin has never gotten used to the smell, the air, the touch of the hospital.

Today, Austin thought, was going to be no different. The doctor would ask Austin how he was doing today, he'd say he was fine, the doctor would then tell him how his heart has been doing so far, and then Austin would go home and slack off or work on writing some new songs. It was almost a routine for Austin. A simple routine that was easy to memorize since it happened over and over again.

But today was going to be a different day.

There was a surprise in store for Austin. When the doctor had called Austin unexpectedly for a special appointment, the twenty six year old couldn't help but wonder what the so-called "special appointment" was all about. Obviously, it was about his heart that's for sure. But what the tall male wanted to know was why the appointment was special.

His thoughts were interrupted when the doctor had came, entering the room with a small, friendly smile on his face. "Hello Austin. It's nice to see you again."

"Hey Dr. Vincent," Austin greeted with a smile in return. "So what'd you call me in for?"

Dr. Vincent sat down on the stool right next to the bed Austin was sitting on. The room they were in wasn't exactly considered exactly like a hospital room. It looked like one of those rooms you go to the doctors at where all you have is a check up or come if you had a fever or cold of some sorts. The doctor opened a yellow file folder, looking through dozens of papers until he pulled out a white paper out in triumph.

"Here it is," he mumbled to himself. "I have good news Austin, very good news indeed. As you can tell, you came for your heart condition, yes? Well, fortunately for you we can do an operation where we can replace your half fake, half real heart with a perfectly healthy one. We have donors who are willing to donate their hearts and I already found the perfect donor if you're interested in the procedure."

"Really?" Austin asked in surprise. "There are actually people out there who want to give up their heart?"

"Yes. Like I said before, if you're up for it, we can call up one of the heart donors who are ready for the procedure at anytime. I already have a donor who I highly recommend. He has a perfectly healthy heart in great condition. I highly recommend doing this if you want to replace the heart you currently have with the real one the donor is offering."

Austin thought about it a little. Dr. Vincent excused himself out of the room to give the tattooed man a moment to think about his decision. Although he did want an actual heart, not one that was half his own half fake, since the thought of the one he has right now worries him. What if it gave up on him all the sudden? What if he fell asleep and never woke up because he died in his sleep due to his heart.

Once ten minutes passed by, Dr. Vincent returned to the room. "Well?"

"Yeah," he said, smiling a little. "I'll do it."
