This song has always made my heart ache, but now that I've read this story, I'm probably going to cry every time I hear it. I'm pretty emotional as it is, but this is just something that's so close to my heart, since I've experienced the same thing. Fortunately my aunt is fine, she's been a survivor for nine years so far.
Anyways, I really enjoyed it. The thoughts that were going through Matt's head were painfully realistic and when the doctor came I felt my heart skip a beat. I love sad stories and this one is definitely amazing. Loved it! ^.^
I just came back home and saw that you posted the link to this story on Twitter. The funny thing is that I was listening to Simple Plan during the drive, and I listened to 'Save you' :) It was a really well writen one-shot. I liked the alternance between present and flashbacks. I didn't cry, but almost. :) You did an awesome job! =D
