Guys or Death?
Chapter 5



     That same day, they took some tests and told me what surgery I would need. Also what they were going to do during the surgery. All the details so I wouldn't be scared or alarmed. I layed down and talked to Nurse Mandy. She ended up being confort for me. I could share my feelings with her, she would listen. She helped me with everything. She was like another mom.
My parents. They haven't visited in 2 days. I wasn't interested in them right now. Too busy thinking about Jayden's future. 

"Alex, the first thing we are going to do, is sew up the top of your head. Poor honey. You've been through a lot. I will make shure they will be extra careful when they fix it. We will lay you down and give you some pills. They will make you sleep while we do the surgery. We dont want you feeling any pain. We will wash up the cut and clean it out. Then will put gloves on for protection. We don't want germs in the cut. Next, the doctors will check in the cut. They will check if anything is in there, any glass, anything harmful before they close it up. Then if everything is all right they will stitch it up."

"Wow, that sounds like a lot. Why do I need to be put to sleep? It's juss stitches."
"They might need to dig in there, and we still don't want you to feel any pain. Even if it doesn't hurt."
"Oh, I get it. Hopefull there is nothing in my messed up head. Ohhh, I dont like watching doctors do stuff to me, like shots. Gross."
"Awww. Alex, don't say that. Your head will be fine, don't worry."
"Thanks. I want to see Jayden. Is his surgery gonna be worse than mine?"
"Umm... I'm afraid so. His back has deeper cuts. We actaully found out, the edge's paiting went straight in. We found out from some people at the party that the painting fell at that angle. His nose is broken severly. I guess Cole's punch was a piece of cake. We will have to get our top doctors to help."
"That's horrible. I feel so bad. He is worse than me. I feel like I don't need any of this help. He needs it the most. I will give all the blood to him. I will die on my own."
"He is in a terrible postition, but he will be brand new once he is done. No, honey. That is ok. We will get his blood. Don't volunteer. You need some also. So you don't want to loose anymore."
"But he needs me! I want to help him all the way! I don't care about myself.
"Alex, he does. He cares about you. It would be heart-breaking if you passed away. Think about his feelings too.

Those words made me think. She was right. He does care.
