As soon as I got home I saw dad crying. Emma was on the couch sleeping.

"Dad?"

"If she doesn't get a new heart in forty eight hours, we lose her." He said and tears started to fall.

"She can't leave us, I promised her we would go to Disney." I cried with my dad.

The doctor called dad and told him that it was best to take Emma to the hospital to give her proper attention. And that's what we did. We took a bag with clothes. There was no way we were gonna leave her alone.

"Where am I?"

"Hospital, little princess." Dad said while grabbing her little hand.

"You're getting a proper attention here." I grabbed her other hand as tears started to fall again.

"Don't cry, sissy. It's okay if I don't get a heart. I'll go to heaven and be with mommy. I'll tell her that while I was here I had a great life." She smiled.

"Please don't talk that way, you will get your heart. And you will stay with us and next year we're gonna celebrate your fifth birthday at Disney." I wasn't ready to let go of her. She was very young to leave this world. She had so much to live. We just needed a miracle.

I got a call from Shawn. I decided to take it outside of the room. He told me he was out of my house but no answer. I told him where I was, and he said he was on his way here.

Ten minutes went by and he arrived. He pulled me into a hug. I needed this hug, I also ended up crying in his arms. "I'm here for you."

Twenty hours later.

Nothing, everything was the same. We were losing hope. My baby sis was in pain and it broke me so much. Shawn never left, he said he would stay here with me. Though I told him to not miss classes cause of me, he didn't listen. He stayed here and said he would leave when Emma had her new heart.

He went to his house to get changed. And he was questioned by none other than, Mrs King.

"Why are you hanging out with, Harmony?"

"Because she's a great person, and I enjoy talking to her." He replied.

"Well, cut the strings with her, I don't need my son being friends with the help." She said with crossed arms.

"You don't boss me around, mother. You lost that right the day I turned eighteen. And I will keep talking to her."

"Well guess we won't be paying for vet school anymore. And you can get out of this house and live on your own, since you're a grown up."

"Fine, do whatever you want, I'll search for a job and a place, anywhere is better than this mansion of hell." Those were the last words before he left his place.

I was watching a movie with Emma, Dad was working. I told him he shouldn't miss work.

"I'm back and look what I brought." Shawn said while showing Emma, a Disney doll, it was her favorite. The little mermaid.

"I love it, thank you Shawn." She said while hugging the doll.

"Thank you, you've been absolutely amazing towards us." I smiled.

"Welcome." He smiled back.

Five hours later.

Dad came back and told us something that we weren't expecting.

"They found a heart!"

"Really!" Tears of happiness started to fall.

"Yes, hear that little princess. You're getting a new heart." He said as Emma squealed.

"Are they compatible?" Shawn asked.

"Yeah, the doctor said they will operate her now."

"Are you ready, munchkin?" I said while grabbing her hand.

"yes I am, I'm a brave girl." she smiled.

The doctor came in and said, "are we ready?" We all just nodded and then he took her. And now we wait.

Four hours went by and the doctor came out and told us that the operation was a success. He also told us that she needed to be in the hospital for three weeks. I was just so happy that my munchkin was gonna be with us for a while.

Dad stayed with Emma. I went home to take a shower and change. Shawn took me home and waited for me. Once I was done I went to the living room and saw him deep in thought.

"Penny for your thoughts?" I said while sitting next to him.

"With everything going on, I forgot to say that my dear mother threw me out of the house. She also told me that she was not paying for my vet school anymore."

"Why?"

"She found out I was hanging out with you, she hated the idea of us being friends. So she kicked me when I told her I didn't care what she thought. You're a real friend and I didn't want to stop talking to you."

"What are you gonna do now?".

"Well, I'm going to buy a house then and I'm going to keep studying. Mother forgot I have my savings account, I have enough to last me this life."

"Damn, that much?"

"Our grandparents deposit every birthday and Christmas a lot of money. I just never used it, I was saving it for something important. Like right now. And I'm also going to search for a job at a pet clinic. I want to gain experience for when I open my own." He smiled.

"I think that's great. I know you will be an excellent vet." I smiled back.

"Thanks. Now changing topics, someone still owes me a night out for some dancing."

"Oops. How about next month. With a Emma in the hospital I don't feel like leaving her."

"Deal, in one month we're going out. But this time as a date." He said taking me by surprise.

"You want to have a date with me?"

"Yeah, is that hard to believe?" He said while grabbing my hand.

"A little." I chuckled. "well believe it. In a month we're having a date, missy." He said causing me to laugh.

"What about, cutie pie?" I said.

"She's my best friend. She's into girls, she said you were hot. Which she's right about." He said making me blush.

"No need to get jealous." He winked before getting up and headed to the front door.

"Hey I was so not jealous!" I said while catching up to him. He's something else. But he knows how to make me laugh.
