(Jayden)

Winona looks pale, her body trembling, her grip on my shirt loosens as her strength fades. The blood beneath her is too much. Fear grips me.

I can't lose her too.

Dr. Harris steps back from the bedside, her face tight with focus as she assesses the situation. "Jayden, we need to stabilize her now," she says firmly, her tone leaving no room for argument. "I need to prep her for emergency surgery. You'll need to wait outside." I don't let go of Winona's hand.

The nurses move swiftly, adjusting the IV, getting her ready to move to surgery. One of them gently touches my shoulder. "Mr. Brennan, we need you to step back, please."

I shake my head, my grip tightening. "I'm not leaving her."

"Jayden," Dr. Harris says, her voice soft but commanding. "You can't help her right now. Let us do our job."

Winona's eyelids flutter. "Jayden..." she whispers weakly.

"I'm here," I say, kissing her on the nose. "I'm right here."

"Please," she breathes. "Don't... let them take me away..."

I kiss her forehead. "You're staying right here. With me." I lie.

Dr. Harris steps closer, her hand firm on my arm. "Jayden, she's losing too much blood. I'm sedating her ready for surgery. I need to act now, or we'll lose her too."

Her words slam into me, and for a moment, I can't breathe. I look at Winona, her face pale and drawn, and then back at Dr. Harris.

"Promise me you'll keep her alive," I say, my voice shaking.
