I Love You

                                    

                                          
                Hector's Point of View 
                          
            A tear fell from Rosa's cheek. Seeing her cry made me want to cry too. She had wrapped her arms around me tight. I didn't want to lose her. I knew the dangers of the surgery but it is a risk that I was willing to take to save my life.
                          
           "It's ok. You don't need to cry."
                          
           "I-it's just that I d-don't want to lose you."
                          
           "You won't lose me, I promise. No matter what I will always be with you."
                          
           She pulled away.
                          
          "Ok."
                          
           Rosa yawned then laid down on the bed. I laid down next to her.
                          
           "Are you tired."
                          
           "Ya, I had a hard time sleeping last next night. I kept on having this nightmare that I died. I couldn't go back to sleep no matter how hard I tried."
                          
           "You don't need to be scared anymore because now you are here with me."
                          
           I just stared into her eyes and smiled. It made her giggle a little bit. I wanted to kiss her but knew that for one she wasn't ready for that yet and two I know that I wasn't brave enough to do it yet. She ended up drifting off to sleep right next to me. I got kind of hungry so I slowly got up and walked to the cafeteria. I got my food and sat down. I started eating but I couldn't finish, too much was on my mind. I had a high likelihood of dying if there were any mistakes in the procedure and there wasn't a super high chance of me being cured and surviving if everything did work out. I just didn't want to die.
                          
             For the next few days until my surgery, Rosa and I spent as much time together as possible. We would just sit and talk or play games and laugh. At this point I knew that I more than liked this girl, I loved her.
                          
        
                          
           The day for my surgery finally came and I wasn't ready for it. My mom was there and she was crying a lot. She was really scared. Rosa's family was also there supporting my mom and I. Before I went into surgery, I went to go say my goodbyes especially to Rosa. After I said goodbye to my family and Rosa's I went straight to Rosa.
                          
           "Look, if I don't come back I want you to know that not only do I like you but I love you. I am so grateful to have you in my life because if I didn't meet you I would have killed myself. Not only have you saved me but you have brought so much happiness and joy to my life and it has really been a blessing to call you my girlfriend."
                          
           "I love you too Hector and I don't know what I will do if you don't come back."
                          
           Before she got to finish I kissed her. I quickly pulled away.
                          
           "Sorry."
                          
           "Don't be."
                          
           Then all of a sudden she kissed me back. This one lasted way longer than the other kiss. I closed my eyes and I am pretty sure that she did too. I rested my hands on her hips while hers were on my cheeks.
                          
          "I have wanted to do that since the day we first met."
                          
          Saying this made her giggle.
                          
         "I have wanted you to do that since we first met."
                          
         I smiled and rested my forehead on hers. I heard her start crying again so I looked up at her and wiped her tears. 
                          
        "Don't cry, ok. I hate to see you sad"
                          
        "I love you Hector."
                          
        "I love you too Rosa."
                          
         Then I walked away, towards the doctors. They got me ready and brought me into the operating room. The last thing I saw was Rosa waiting down the hall before they brought me in. Once I was inside the last thing I remember was them putting an IV in me and counting down from 10 but I don't remember anything past seven.
