Amia: "I'm her God Sister."
Arlo: "Amia?"
Amia: "Yes"
Arlo: "I've heard a lot about you, all good things though. Nice to finally meet you" *hugs Amia*
Amia: "Nice to meet you too."
Arlo: "I was in there just talking to her about the situation and then all of a sudden her monitor started beeping."
Amia: "She's gonna be fine, I just know it."
Arlo: "I know she is, my baby is strong."
*Doctor comes in with a sad facial expression*
Arlo: "Doc, please tell us she is alright."
Doctor: "She is stable, but it is a 50/50 chance that she will actually stay alive. The bullet hit a small piece of her heart."
Arlo: "Did y'all get it out?"
Doctor: "If we do a surgery on her to get it out, the chance of her dying with increase. But if we leave it in there she will have complications with her body."
Amia: "She needs the surgery."
Arlo: *mugs Amia* "Hell no, she will die."
Amia: "Would you want her to be in pain for the rest of her life?"
Arlo: "I would rather her live in pain then die. I need her so no, she's not getting the surgery."
Amia: "Do you see how selfish you just sounded?"
Arlo: *looks sad* "Fine, she will have the surgery."
Doctor: "Alright, nice meeting you two."The doctors and nurses took Jaylen into the operation room and started surgery. During the surgery Jaylen was loosing a lot of blood. The doctors were scared that she wasn't going to make it. They were determined to keep Jaylen alive.
