After the doctor did what he could he told them all to leave me to rest, troy said 'doctor what happened?' he said 'well mr. troy, as you know she volunteered to give blood to your mother, and her blood pressure was too low, and I adviced her not to, I even tried to stop her.. but she was determined, she knew what she wanted.. she wanted to help you and your mother troy' troy hit his fist againist the wall and said 'why? Why did she do that?' monica came and hugged troy and said 'troy you know her, better than anybody, she loves you, and she wouldn't have left you to suffer the loss and stand by to see you fall apart..' then chad came and said 'the doctor said she might wake up in a few hours, but we have to find a new donor troy, she can't do it again'
Troy nodded and then went into my room and held my hand and cried. Then gradually he went to sleep, a couple of hours later chad came back in and woke troy, he said 'troy.. the doctor is still searching for a new donor.. but her blood type is very rare.. and they still can't find anyone.. and troy? The doctor said that.. he said that if we don't do the surgery soon enough.. it might be.. too late' troy looked at the ground but he was still holding my hand. Then I mumbled 'I'll do it' he couldn't hear me because of the oxygen mask but he didn't care! I was awake! So he kissed me on the forehead and said ' thank God! You are okay you stupid idiot!' I smiled at him, removed the oxygen mask and said 'i.. will.. do it' troy looked at me and stared into my eyes and said 'no!' . I pressed on a button for the nurse to come and when she did I asked for the doctor, he came and I said ' I will.. do.. it' the doctor said 'you can't ms. Montez! It is too dangerous!' I said 'I will..' he said 'you are killing yourself!' I said 'doctor.. please!' and I started coughing so they put the oxygen mask on my face again.
Then troy was telling the doctor 'we have to find another donor! If she is ready for killing herself for me I won't let her' as he was talking he found me standing, right infront of him, and I said 'i.. will give her the blood..' troy made me sit again, then he said ' gabriella that is not an option anymore!' I stared into his eyes in rage and then I said in a weak voice 'I am not asking you.. I am.. letting you knows..' troy looked at me like he was so helpless. Then I looked at the doctor and said 'I am ready..' he nodded and then told the nurses to prepare me.
So troy just kept looking at me with an angry, sad, helpless, weak look. But I knew that I was doing the right thing! The nurses were preparing me when monica came in and said 'are you sure?' I looked at her as if I was never going to back down. So she kissed me on the forehead and said 'and your parents?' I said 'tell my dad, atleast he can be there for troy until I am back..' she said 'but you will be back, right?' I hugged her and said 'yes..' she forced a smile and left. Then chad came and hugged me and said 'are you okay?' I smiled and said 'yeah!' he laughed and then said 'he is just scared gabriella..' I said 'I know chad.. but I know it's the right thing to do.. just take care of him until I am back, ok?' he said 'you got it!' and then we both laughed and he left.
Then they moved me through the hallways until we got to the OR, we were almost there when I heard someone calling my name and saying 'wait!' they stopped, and then troy came and kissed me and hugged me so tight and said 'I am waiting for you..' I smiled at him and said 'I will be back and I'll bring your mum with me..' he forced a smile and then they pushed me into the OR.
About 3 hours later, troy's mother and I were being pushed out of the OR. We were both unconscious, troy knew why his mum was, but me? He asked the doctor who said 'we needed a lot of blood for your mum, she didn't want us to stop, or look for an alternative, but her blood pressure got lower and lower and she might have lost more blood than your mum..' troy was horrified! He went with his mum to her room, kissed her and then came to me. Monica was sitting next to me and chad was standing behind her, when troy came in chad hugged him and said 'hold on man! She did it for you and you can do it for her!' troy nodded. Then he sat next to me and asked chad to go see your mum just in case she wakes up. Troy was sitting next to me, memories hunting him, he felt like he couldn't breathe, like this was a bad nightmare, but he can't wake up, he needed me to wake him up!
Then troy went to the bathroom to wash his face, and monica was with me, then I started humming and aching a bit, so she called troy who came running and said 'gabby, open your eyes baby, come on!' I gradually opened my eyes to see troy with tears in his eyes and he said 'hey baby..' I forced a smile and said 'hi..'
