A/N: Chapter 12. --->

-----

He wanted to donate his heart… Shelby had saved him once, this time he was going to return the favour, not just because she had saved him, but also because he loved her. He loved her too much to just stand by and watch her die. He wouldn't do it. He was going to safe her, even if he had to die for it.

"No!" Peter said.

"Peter, please don't argue with me about this. If this was Sophie, what would you do?" Scott asked.

"I would try to find another solution! This is not the answer!"

"Yes, yes it is. We don't have a choice. I even talked to the doctor about this, he said the faster she gets the heart, the bigger the chance is for her to survive with it."

"Which means, you might both die!"

"Yes.. If it turns out that it was too late, she will die, and so will I." Scott stated.

"More reason for you to let this idea go! What if it turns out that it was too late! You will have to pay a big prize for that! If it turns out that way, you died for nothing!"

"It's worth a shot." Scott said.

"That's the point, it isn't! You're risking your own life!"

"Yes, yes I am.. For a person that I love. That's worth it… Peter try to look at it from my side. If Sophie had heart cancer, and if she was listed to die in barely a month, and there were around a 100 patients before her, wouldn't you do the same?"

Scott was right… Sometimes you had to sacrifice you own life in order to safe the one you love…

Scott had a heavy discussion with his mother; Tracy too. She would not let him do it, but Scott succeeded at last to convince her. She still didn't really approve of it, but she understood him.

"Shel… I know you won't let me do this, but believe me, I'm doing this in order to safe you. And because I love you… I cannot stand by and watch you wait for the day comes, the day where you're gonna stop breathing, where your heart stops. I simply can't, and I won't…"

"Scott, it means a lot to me, that you are actually considering this. But it's really not worth it, I mean c'mon. We may both die!"

"And so if we do? At least we'd be together. If we could I'd want us both to live, but I can't. So either you live, and I die. Or you die and I die. If you're going to stop me, I will commit suicide, and demand that you get the heart. So either you approve, or you don't… But I won't let anyone stop me, not even you…" Scott said, and Shelby knew that he meant every word. But she couldn't just let him die for her. She didn't deserve that… She just didn't…

"What do you say? Either I do this with your approval, or I do it without your approval.."

"Scott, you can't honestly be telling me that I have to say: Yes sure, die so I can live!"

"Yes, and I want you to. Please, let me do this for you.. You saved my life once, it's time to return the favour."

"No! I didn't safe you then, just so you could give me your freaking heart now! If this is about returning the favour, I'd rather die than accepting this." Shelby said.

"No, it's not… I'm doing this because you're the first person that I ever truly loved, except my mum. You were the first person who got through to me, who I enjoyed being with." Scott said, and Shelby felt like crying… How could she say no, when Scott was going to do it anyway…

"I… Scott, I… Are you..?" Shelby managed.

"Yes, I'm sure. I've been thinking about it for the past 9-10 days, and the more I think about it, the more I know that it's right. The more I know that I'm not gonna regret this…"

"Then I guess.. I guess I can't stop you." Shelby said while tears fell from her eyes.
