    Chapter Five: Puzzle Pieces

    Ok...I know I’ve been here before, but still I'm unfamiliar. It's, um,dang it smells bad, almost like sick people. Ok, so what's the last thing I remember? Um....THE CAVE. Now I remember, I was there with Lily and Greg. But, everything after is blank.

    This is really different. Everything is blank, not like the blank like blindness, just blank. When your blind and you look all you see is black, and some faded dark shade around people or things. Now everything is white, just blank and white. It sort of feels bitter sweet. I haven’t seen any colors since I could see. Would bring a tear to my eye if I actually knew where I was. I can look, and there is no one. Nothing. Nothing but white.

    There's a sound. Something. Peoples voices, um, Greg, I think I can hear him.

    "....you're an f'ing Idiot..."

    Yep that's Greg. Now if I can just make out everything he's saying.

    "What is this, the second time ur in the hospital? Man, next time i think you should just bring your stuff in here and live here the way your going..."

    Hospital, again? Lovely, just what I need. He's probably joking about the living here thing.

    "...Now it's a giant decision, what your mom has to make, but like some random guy that I don’t know the name of says, a mother knows best"

    What decision does she have to make? I guess something’s really wrong with me. I hate this guessing game, messes with my head. I just need to calm down, whatever is wrong they can fix, right?

    "Scott, I know you can hear me...please wake up..."

    Lily's voice this time, maybe she can say something useful. Come on lily, anything to help me now would be nice.

    "...and then I called 911. You almost died, but they got you on this machine in time..."

    I ALMOST DIED! I think I am talking while she is, I probably need to be quiet.

    "...and that's why it's up to me, your mom doesn't know what to do, but I said I would do it, even if it does possibly kill me..."

    Dang it, I missed the part I needed. So, I am guessing I'm gonna need surgery or a transplant thing, that is the only reason Lily would go under the knife, but why not mom? The puzzle pieces are there I just can't fit them in the right order. Another voice, mom perhaps?

    "...I'm letting Lily go ahead and do it, they said that since my heart is older it would be too risky to go through with it..."

    Heart transplant, but doesn't she need her heart?

    "...the doctor said Lily would be able to get a heart too, but he specifically needs one now for you or else your gonna die, there isn't any in the building today, and the virus in your heart is spreading, Lily said it will be okay, as long as you get a heart she can live without one..."

    Wow, um, what are you supposed to say when your best friend says they will give you their heart? Speechless. My mind is racing right now. I woke up last time I was in situation like this, maybe I can do it again. WAKE UP! WAKE UP YOU STUPID IDIOT!

    Nothing.

    This has to be another dream, to bad it isn't.

    I'm blaming everything on that tumor, if it wasn't there, everything would be alright, it must of gave me an infection when it hit something when it was taken out. The infection must of crawled into my heart and stayed there, but why didn't I feel it until the caves? Why wasn't there anything until then? I shouldn't get ahead of myself. But still, I just want to know, why?

    "....no problem with money, but it happens tonight, I know you two will make through it, just lay there and stay exactly the way you are, everything will ....."

    The voice vanished. But I think I just did too. Everything will be fine, Lily and I will come out fine, she will get her heart tomorrow, and we can go to the park to practice again by the weekend. It's true, I see it now. Maybe if I close my eyes, everything will be fine. I may not see, but I can still imagine.

    Just one more day, all I need is to make it though one more day, this is my final prayer, please, anything to make me better.
