I woke up and felt a sharp pain in my abdomen. I looked around the room and saw everyone except for Brandon and Nick. "How do you feel?" Jessica asked. "Um, it hurts to move," I said and tried to sit up. "Not the best idea," my doctor said as he walked into the room. "Why?" I asked. He reached over for my blanket, "May I?" he asked. I nodded and he pulled down my blanket to reveal a patch over my stomach. "What happened?" I asked. "You got a kidney transplant," he said. "Why?" I asked. "You don't remember?" he asked. "No," I said. "Your lungs started to fill with water and you were throwing up a lot, you needed a kidney. Thanks to a donor that donated one directly towards you, you got one," he said.

I turned to my mom. "Why would you let Brandon give me his kidney?" I asked. Brandon stood in front of the door to my room and laughed. "He didn't," he said. "But you never said Nick couldn't give you one," Brandon said. "He gave me one of his kidneys?" I asked. Brandon nodded and I widened my eyes. "Why?" I asked. "Kaylee, you were dying!" Brandon yelled. "I'm not trying to be selfish, but I couldn't just stand here and watch you die when we both knew we could've done something," Brandon said. I stayed quiet and he turned around and walked out the door.

"Kay, you gotta be more grateful," Christian said. "Just take the gift he gave you," Jessica said. I looked down at my hands. "May I go to the chapel?" I asked the doctor. He nodded and he called for a nurse to help me go to the chapel.

The nurse set me in front of the altar and I instantly started crying. "I'm sorry Dad," I said.

Flashback
The sirens became louder and louder. I groaned in pain and turned to my left to see my Dad's eyes closed. "Dad!" I yelled. No response. I took my seatbelt off and instantly gravity took over and pulled my body down. I crawled out the car and started to limp towards the drivers side. I got down on my belly and grabbed my Dad's hand. "Dad wake up!" I yelled and moved his hand. He started to groan and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Kay? Are you okay?" he asked. I nodded, "I'm fine? Are you?" I asked. "Um, I don't know," he said and looked around. EMT's arrived at the scene and they instantly laid down on the floor besides me. "Sir we're going to try and get you out," one said. My dad nodded and they started talking to him, but I blanked out. I got up and backed away from the two cars that collided. My mom was in a different country, how the hell was I supposed to tell her that Dad is stuck in a car right now.

I blanked out for so long that it was long enough for them to get my Dad out of the car and onto a gurney. "Ma'am we have to head to the hospital now," the EMT said. I nodded and climbed into the back of the ambulance. They started to shout medical terms in the ambulance as they tried to fix my Dad. The car came to a stop and everyone jumped out. I followed them and my dad motioned them to stop. They did so and they called me over to him. "Tell your mom, I love her," he said. "You can tell her that Dad, you'll make it," I said with a big believe that he was. "And Kay, you are my world and the best daughter I could ask for. I love you so much," he said. Then he was ripped from my hands as they pushed him into the surgical wing of the hospital.

Two hours later he was determined brain dead and I had to make the biggest decision of my life. To give his organs away or not to. My dad would've wanted to, so I signed the papers and let them take his organs.

I sat in the room with his lifeless body and held his cold hand. "Please don't leave me," I cried. But he already was gone, and including his organs. His big heart was no longer beating and his lungs no longer filled with oxygen. "Miss. Miramontes," someone said behind me. I turned around and they held a phone up. "It's your mom," they said.

End of Flashback
"I'm sorry, I didn't take care of your kidney," I whispered. "Dad, I don't think I can stay strong anymore," I said. "I try to stay strong for mom and everyone else, but I'm not okay. You were my best friend, and now that I have nothing left of you, I feel like my chest is closing and my world is collapsing," I cried.

"Dear Kaylee,
Brandon is reading this to you because you miss me. Stop being a baby. You are not a baby, only babies cry. You should know Kaylee, that I am always by your side no matter. It doesn't matter if you're crying or smiling, I will always be there. It's okay to break down once in awhile and be the weak one for once. You don't always have to be strong you know? Take some deep breaths honey, and just relax. I will never leave your side.
Love, Dad," Brandon said behind me. I turned around and he held up an envelope. "Read to Kaylee when she misses me," Brandon said. I smiled and he sat down besides me.

"You know, no matter how much you may annoy me and get on my nerves. It will never change the way I feel about you Kay. You are my best friend. To define what a best friend is to me, it's not simple, because only you are the definition of it to me. You are the person who constantly picks me up, who stays by my side no matter the circumstance, the person I go to when something good happens, you are someone I look up to even though physically I have to look down to you, but Kaylee, you are my best friend and you need to understand that I would do anything and everything for you," he said. I smiled and he brought me into a hug. "Now stop crying. You are an ugly crier," he said and wiped my tears.

The nurse walked me to Nick's room. He laid in his bed sleeping. "He's really tired," the nurse in the room said. "He stayed up all night to wait for you to wake up," she said. I smiled and the nurse placed me close to his bed. I reached on the bed for his hand and kissed it. The nurses left the room, leaving Nick and I alone.

I rested my head on his bed and slowly drifted off to sleep.
