Gotta love death

3rd person

Zach has been having more problems lately, his heart really couldn't take the stress of what he wanted to do anymore. No matter how much physical therapy he did or how much he rested and tried to be as calm as he could it wasn't working anymore. He was a 15 almost 16-year-old boy who wanted to be energetic and love on his boyfriend but his crappy heart wouldn't let him anymore. Really he had to stay in his bed most of the time and he couldn't get up and walk around for long periods of time. No more exploring, no more racing Corbyn or Jonah in random hallway marathons (even if he always lost) and lastly no more long make out seasons with Daniel. That last one probably hurt him the most. He felt like a shitty boyfriend like "oh ya we can't make out till I get a heart transplant" ya sorry but no. He needed a new heart and he really didn't wanna wait any longer. So when they told the boy that he was 13th on the transplant list he was ecstatic. Not to say that he's gonna get a heart tomorrow but it's better than 165th like he was for the longest time.

It's hard to see Zach in the state he's in. I love the boy and he can't have any fun anymore like we can't even kiss for longer than like 10 seconds not that I'm counting or anything. He's gonna get a heart soon I know it buys that's also terrifying...that's a long surgery. He's already had so many and I know he'll do great but I love him it's hard for me too.

Corbyn and I decided that we were gonna go get food I guess, not my idea, and Zach wanted a cookie so I said I'd get him one. As we were walking back to our room from the cafeteria we heard the code blue alarm sound; We didn't think much of it until I say all the doctors in our room. I looked at Corbyn starting to tear up and ran to our room trying to get to Zach as fast as I could. I ran into Sam and she was standing outside the door as Jonah and Jack were standing in the doorway of their room, tears in there eyes as well.

"Let me in Sam!" I yelled and tried to push past her but she wouldn't let me in. "Daniel stop you can't come in I'm sorry he's gonna be ok" she tried to convince me to stop getting into the room but I could hear the doctors and they were yelling stuff making me freak out even more. I felt someone pull me back into a hug and I just broke. I kept thinking the worst, I couldn't lose him I'm not ready for that.
"Shhh Dani it's gonna be ok" Jonah hugged me tight as I cried into his chest. I stayed like that with Corbyn and Jack next to us sitting on the floor also crying until I looked up and saw Sam in front of me. "He's ok Daniel His heart stopped but they brought him back and he's just really exhausted now, we bumped him up on the list so he's gonna get the first heart we find ok?" She smiled at me and I just nodded rushing to go to Zach.

I walked in and tried to hide that I had been crying but it wasn't really working. "Hey baby" I laid down next to him and ran a hand through his hair while rubbing his thigh for comfort. "I'm sorry" he whispered and cuddle into me some, "shhh no baby don't apologize, it's not your fault" I kissed his forehead over and over. I mean can you blame me I thought I was about to lose the love of my life. "I scared you I'm sorry" he whispered again and I could tell he wanted and needed to sleep. "Don't apologize, Zach, it's not your fault, now you should sleep you look exhausted" he smiled slightly before speaking again. "I am and I don't know why you love me I'm basically dead," he said and I just tried to come up with a cheeky response. 

"Hey you gotta love death" we both laughed slightly before I heard soft snores come from him. "I love you so much baby boy and I'll never stop"
