Dan waited anxiously on the uncomfortable, hospital chair. His eyes can hardly mange to open. There’s just too much on Dan’s mind to so to sleep. Right when Dan was about to fall asleep, he heard a voice. “Excuse me, Are you related to the patient?” asked the doctor “Yes, I am” responded Dan without thinking. “I’ve bad news. I’m afraid that her eyes can never see again” announced the doctor. Dan was just too stunned to even react. Dan reached in his pocket and remembers that he didn’t give Sue her present yet. With a fake smirk he enters the room and sits beside her, holding her hand. “I’ll always stay beside you” Dan said. Dan’s tears were like running water, dripping on Sue’s face. Dan then wiped her face tenderly and gave her a kiss. Dan placed her gift beside her and left.

     “What is there to do? What is there I can do?” he begged the doctor. “Only if someone is willing to sacrifice their vision to save hers” he answered. There was a long paused. Dan gradually walked home, kicking rocks and screaming “Why.”  That night he can’t sleep, thinking about Sue’s reaction when she finds out she lost her vision.

     Dan visited her the next day. When Dan entered, there was no sound at all. He some how figured that she had found out. “Sue Sue” he called. No answer. When Dan got closer he heard she sniffing. “What’s wrong Honey?” he asked. No answer. Dan sat beside her and asked her to turn over. Sue pushed him away. “Sue, I know how you feel. I once was in your situation. It feels like the world had ended and so did your future. No! Be strong and believe in yourself.” Sue then turned over and gave Dan a hug. “Stay here with me. Don’t go. Don’t leave Me.” sobbing over Dan’s shoulder “Don’t worry, Dan Dan is going to stay beside throughout the night” he answered. “Let me put that on for you” taking the gift from Sue’s hand. Dan puts on the platinum necklace on her neck. “Happy Birthday” Dan said with a smile.
