"No!" I scream with tears in my eyes, my, father, a good man is holding my shoulders, knowing I can't follow my girlfriend into the operating room. "Please tell me this is a nightmare...I don't want to lose her, please..." I cried and fell to my knees as my father consoled me the best he could. My mother was holding my little brother and talking to the doctors, my girlfriend is part of the family, we've been together for 5 years after all. "I can't believe it...We were celebrating her birthday...My love, no! Let me go, I want to be with her!" I screamed again trying to separate myself from my father, who had a firm grip on me. We were celebrating, when suddenly someone took it out on my little brother and I tried to protect him, a fight broke out and my girlfriend intervened to help me and was kicked and punched.
