Todays the day of the operation. My heart is beating uncontrollably and I can feel my body tensing up the closer we get to the hospital. Everyone in the car keeps looking at me nervously which isn't helping but I know this is just as hard for them as it is for me. But I'm not even thinking about the operation at this point. All I can think of is Amy. How much this could change her life. I don't want to hurt her, I don't want to hurt anyone. I'd texted Amy the night before and told her that today was the operation.

Then we're here. The hospital only a few steps away. This whole nightmare suddenly becomes real. I swallow nervously as I get out the car and start walking to the main entrance. Once we're through the doors I quickly spot Amy sat waiting with Luke in the waiting room. She looks up and sees me and I cant help but laugh. I walk over to them and Amy gets up and pulls me into a hug that I really needed.
" What the hell are you doing here?" I laughed.
" Well I didn't want to be late so I made Luke drive me here early." She smiled at me and I smiled back.
" Wait Luke can drive?" I asked suspiciously.
" Technically... no. But I kinda thought you know we're on our way to the hospital so..." she shrugged making me laugh. I looked at Luke who was trying not to look guilty but failing miserably.
" So, you ready?" Amy asks me.
" Not even a little." I smile nervously at her.
" You'll be fine." She says in a reassuring tone that doesn't work as well as it should.
" But will you?" My voice cracks and I can see Luke tearing up in the corner of my eye.
" I'll be fine. Luke on the other hand maybe not so much." She laughed. We both turned to look at Luke who was balling his eyes out watching and listening to everything.

A few minutes later the doctor calls my name and I know its time. I kiss Amy and tell her I love her and she tells me she loves me too. The I follow the doctor to a room. I'm put on a bed and then before I know it I'm slowly losing consciousness.

Then everything goes BLACK.
