Riley's POV
_______________

I have always felt as though I was going to marry Katie. I've never loved anyone more than I love her.

I would take a bullet for this beautiful, kind woman I am so lucky to call mine.

She needs new lungs, however she is backed up on the waiting list for donors. I have to find her new lungs. Thats when I came up with an idea.

I had perfectly healthy lungs. I've never smoked or done drugs. She would never agree to it though.. but I would rather her live.

I wouldn't be able to live in a world without her.

She would grow to be a beautiful woman with an amazing husband and beautiful children.

She could pursue her dreams of becoming a doctor and curing those who are sick. I would be watching her from afar, however.

It may hurt her for a few years but she would move on... right?

For the next 2 days she was in the hospital, I was caring for her every need.

I slept on the chairs beside her gurney even though I was uncomfortable.

I didn't want to leave her again. I never want anything bad to happen to her ever again.

When she got out of the hospital, I took her on all the dates I could.

I wanted my last few days to be with her. I signed the forms to donate my lungs to her. The operation would leave me without any and I would have to die.. but I take the risk anyway.

I love her so much. The night before the surgery night, she called me.

"Baby! You'll never believe it!" I could hear the sound of her crying from joy. "Someone donated their lungs to me! I'll be able to live."

It hurt me to have to keep it from her. "That's amazing! I'm so happy for you!!"

We talked all night long to the point where we fell asleep on the phone while talking to each other.

The surgery was tomorrow. I've never been so sure of a decision in my life.

She was going to live!
