bleeding tears

Secrets don't last long

Beca's POV:

My head was heavy and my eyes as well. I didn't have the strength to open them but I could hear Chloe's voice. "Damn it, this was a mistake. I made it even worse", she sounded desperate, "shit, shit, shit."

I was wondering what the redhead meant but then I realized something. Something inside of me felt different. So light and warm.

I heard the the doorknob being pulled down before a man's voice echoed through the room. I had no idea what time it was but he sounded tired so I guess it was night. "Chloe, you are still here? Have you left this room at all?", the male voice asked. "No, not really", Chloe seemed to be quite nervous. "I just wanted to check on Miss Mitchell. Is she still staying strong?", he wondered and I noticed his footsteps approaching me. "Uhm...y...yeah", the ginger stuttered.

I felt the cold stethoscope on my chest.
"Woah strong heartbeat, young lady", the doctor recognized in surprise. Now I noticed that it was Doctor Hunt who was talking.

He couldn't believe the surprisingly strong heart and kept listening to the steady rythm."That's so weird", Owen announced. "Wh..what is weird?", I heard Chloe asking. "That heart. It's supposed to be close to dying and now it's suddenly beating stronger and healthier than ever", the man stated.

Chloe's POV:

The doctor looked around the room when he noticed a white box halfway behind the wooden shelf next to the window.

"What is that? Why is there an 'organ-box" kept in this room?", he wondered and let go of Beca, walking towards the shelf, picking up the box. He opened it and looked right at a sick, damaged heart. "Oh my god. Where the fuck is the damn transplant?", he yelled in disbelief.

I knew denying anything now wouldn't make it better so I spilled out the truth.

"Inside of her body", I responded, scared of what the male doctor was going to say next.

"How?! When did this surgery happen? And why the hell would the old heart be kept here?", he wanted to know being completely confused.

"I did this surgery", I let him know.

"Chloe you are not working here anymore, who the hell has let you use one of the ORs?", if it was possible, I'm sure his head would have formed a question mark right now.

"No OR. I did this surgery here, in this room. About two hours ago. On my own", I replied and played with my hands.

The tall guy was speechless. When he found his words again he was rather worried than mad: "You can't do that. First of all you do not work in this hospital and surgeries are only allowed to take place in ORs. I mean look at this room, those aren't hygienic circumstances. Why did you do that?"

"Because she was dying, Owen. If it hadn't been done she would have been dead by now and since you all are too busy I had no choice. She means something to me. I didn't care and I still don't care about the consequences. But she needs to be alive. She had been waiting for a transplant for months and she deserved to get it. I mean look at what you are holding in your hands. This organ was keeping her alive and if you are the tiniest bit of a doctor you can see that it wouldn't have survived another hour", I shouted and the tears started dripping down my face, "I'm aware of the fact that you have to report this and I'm aware of the fact that maybe I'll be sent to prison for however this is gonna turn out. But I don't give a fuck. I knew what I was doing and I know that I did the right thing!"
I tried wiping my tears away without destroying my mascara but I don't think it worked quite well.

"What is going on?", a soft voice asked. I turned to Beca and looked right into her confused face. "Thank god, oh lord, you are alive", I exclaimed and pulled her into my arms. "You have a new heartbeat, Beca", I told her and smiled before I took her hand and placed it on her chest, "Do you feel it? It's strong and it's healthy. You are ready to keep living life to the fullest again."

I looked back at Doctor Hunt.
"See and that's why I did what I did. To give her the opportunity she would have lost if I hadn't done what I have done", I spoke to him.

Hey everyone,
I'm curious what you think will happen to Chloe...let me know⬇️:)
