I break the kiss and my eyes widen as the scream sends chills down my spine. "PAINE!" Zexion shouts and pulls his pants on, almost flying out of the room. "Zexion! Wait" I shout after him and run to where he is.
I stand in the doorway and Zexion is bent over Paine's bed. "What...the...fuck! No...wait...hold on Paine!" Zexion mutters and turns around to me and shouts "Call 911!". I pick my cellphone out of my back pocket and dial the 3 numbers.
"Hello? What's your emergency?" The operator answers in a honey like voice. "Yes! Uhm...my sister in law is in trouble...oh, theres so much blood...just help!" I panic. "Help is on the way...just stay calm." The operator soothes.
"Ok, thank you!" I say and hang up. "I-I've got to step out of the room Zexion." I say. He nods his head and I step out of the doorway. "Hemophobia. Ugh!" I think and I wait for the ambulance.

I open the door and jump out of the way as paramedics rush through the house with a stretcher. "Down the hall, last room on the left!" I instruct and they run to Paine. "Damn, they're fast!" 5 minutes have gone by since I called 911.
The paramedics come rushing back through and out the door with Paine strapped to the stretcher unconcious. "Let's go Dem. We're getting in the ambulance." Zexion says, his voice shaky.
"O-ok!"I stutter and follow him out and hop in the back of the ambulance. I close my eyes so I don't pass out from the sight of the blood.
The scene is heart-wrenching. Zexion lets the tears flow as he whispers to Paine and holds her hand. A few tears slide down my face and I look down at my hands in my lap.
-
The scene at the hospital is horrible. Vincent has his arm around a weeping Lulu, his eyes teary as well.
Zexion has his head buried in his hands and I have my arm around his shoulders and I try to console him. "Zexion. It's going to be ok. Just remember what you told me. Everything will turn out perfect, just like a fairytale! We will live our story, and live happily ever after." I whisper.
A doctor comes out of the room. "Valentines?" he says and we all look up. "Your daughter has lost a lot of blood. We have stitched up the cut in her throat. But we're afraid she won't make it-" he is cut off by a wail from Lulu.
"Unless, we get a transplant. But, we're not praying on it, we don't have any donors at this moment." He finishes. I feel a fire in my heart.
"Sir! What is her blood type?" I ask the doctor. "O positive..." Lulu weeps. My eyes widen and I smile. "That's my blood type! I'll donate blood!" I say. "How old are you?" The doctor asks. "I'm seventeen." I answer. He shakes his head. "You are to young. I'm afraid I can't allow that.
I seethe. "Who cares! She could die unless we don't! What would you rather live with on your concious? Letting an underage boy donate blood, or letting a great girl die!" I rant. The doctor nods.
"Come with me...let's get you ready!" The doctor instructs. I turn around to Zexion. "See! I told you it'd be okay!" I say with a big smile. He stares at me and mouths thank you with a smile.
-
The doctor walks out of the operating room. "Valentines?" Zexion, Lulu, and Vincent look up. "The blood transplant was a success. We want to keep her in the hospital for a few days to rest though and make sure nothing goes wrong." He informs.
Lulu hugs Vincent and cries harder than before. "Thank you...sir." Vincent says to the doctor. Zexion smiles and buries his face in his hands. "If you'd like, you can walk into the ICU and see her, and Demyx." The doctor informs.
Zexion is already on his feet and walking down the hallway. Lulu and Vincent catch up to him. Zexion presses a button on the wall by the doors. "Yes?" a voice rings out. "3 to see Paine Valentine." Zexion says into the speaker and the door opens. "Thank you!" Lulu says and the 3 walk through the door.
