BENJIS POV
We saw the boat coming towards us and got really happy.

"We are going to be ok Benji" Jorge said hugging me. I hugged him back tightly.

"Hop in guys" one of the people yelled to us. I picked Jorge up and walked us to the boat. I set him in the climbed in myself.

"How long have you guys been on the island"

"Our plane crashed on the 7th so what's the date now" I asked

"It's the 16th" we talked for a little and finally made it to land.

We got out of the boat and I tried to find the nearest hospital. Jorge still wasn't doing too well and I had to get him help before it's too late. The people on the boat called an uber to the nearest hospital and I thanked them. I was so grateful for them.

5 minutes later the uber got here and we got in. I made small talk with the driver and Jorge fell asleep on my shoulder. The ride from the pier to the hospital wasn't far which was lucky for us.

We got to the hospital and I thanked the driver and carried Jorge into the hospital.

"Hi how may I help you" the lady at the front desk asked

"Hi yes my husband and I were in a plane crash and were stuck on an island for 13 days and he got a cut and it is infected badly. He also coughed up blood the other night" I explained to the lady. She nodded and asked for his birthday an stuff which I gave her. She gave him a wrist band and a doctor came in a took him to a room.

"Ok so what seems to be the problem" He asked. I explained everything and he looked at the wound and his eyes widened.

"I will be right back" He said getting up and walking out of the room

"Am I going to be ok Benji" Jorge asked. I grabbed his hand and smiled.

"You're going to be ok baby" I rubbed my thumb on top of his hand.

"Promise?" Shit

"I uh pro-" I was cut off by the doctor walking back into the room.

"Okay so basically the infection is bad im not going to lie to you. So you have a 2 options. You can either leave the infection and let it go away naturally but there is a 90% chance it will spread and be fatal or there is a surgery we could do. The surgery is 60% fatal though" My heart dropped.

"Um can we have a minute" I asked the doctor. He nodded and left the room.

"What are you going to choose?"

"the surgery is my best option" a tear slipped down his cheek and I quickly wiped it away.

"Hey it will be ok you are strong baby" He nodded.

"Im going to get the doctor" I dropped his hand and got the doctor. I told him what Jorge chose and he nodded. We walked back to the room and Jorge had coughed up blood again.

"Oh my god it spread. Yeah we have to get him in surgery now" That sent chills down my spine. He hit a button and nurses ran in. They got his bed and started to roll it away.

"Its going to be ok baby" I said fighting back my tears. He nodded and they left. I slid down the wall and buried my face in my hands. I started crying and my anxiety spiked. No no no not right now.

My breathing got heavy and It got hard to breathe. I tried to calm down and tried to imagine Jorge's arms around me. I kind of worked and a few minutes later I had calmed down. I went to the front desk and asked to use their phone. I had to call in a few people to bring me clothes and money.

Im glad we are in new York because I have people I can call whenever I need anything. I called them and they rushed over. I got new clothes and one of my credit cards and I thanked them. I asked the lady at the desk if they had a shower I could use and surprisingly they said yes.

I showered and It was the best feeling ever. I put the new clothes on and I felt so refreshed. I asked how long the surgery would be and they said over 12 hours. I nodded and left the hospital. I was starving so I went to the nearest chipotle and ordered food. I missed actual food.

I then went to a hotel and got a room because I need sleep bad. As soon as I got to my room I laid on the bed a fell asleep immediately. That was the best sleep I have had in 2 weeks.

I woke up and looked at the time. Jorge had only been in surgery for 9 hours. I sighed and left the hotel bored. I remembered I needed a new phone so I went to the apple store and bought 2 new phones. One for me and one for Jorge. I was so glad I backed my phone up to my laptop. I also bought a new laptop because im assuming it got ruined in the plane crash.

I went back to the hotel and logged into my new laptop. I was so happy when everything was on my account. I hooked up my new phone and looked at all my messages I missed. I missed 60 calls from my mom and 20 from Jorge's mom. Along with multiple texts from all my friends and family. I texted all of the explained what happened and by the time I was done Jorge had been in surgery for 12 hours. Hopefully it will be over soon.

About 2 hours later I got a call.

"Hello" I said answering the phone

"Hi is this Benjamin Krol"

"Yes this is him"

"Jorge Krol is out of surgery"

"Oh thank you so much" I hung up the phone and rushed to the hospital. I went in and was met with a doctor.

"Is Jorge ok?" I asked him

"Well..."
