Kinsley's POV

Somewhere in the middle of the night, I feel like I can't breathe. I sit up as I see the dark room and I try catching my breath and can't. I try to stand but I'm so lightheaded I can't do it. I start coughing instantly as I grab the water from the beside table and try drinking it but choke. Somethings not right. While coughing, I reach over and grab the light cutting it on before calling Dixon on speed dial. He's only five minutes away.

I try standing again as I make my way to the bathroom counter before falling down onto the tile crouching over and coughing to try and get the mucus out of my lungs. I feel how sore my chest is with the pain from each cough and I feel like I'm strangling. Between my coughing Dixon answers.

"Kins?" He asks as I start coughing. I can't get the words out, "D-I-X" I manage to rasp out as I cough again. I can't get my words out, I feel horrible when I hear Savannah's wailing fill the room meaning she's woke up.

"I'm coming. I love you." He demands as I hang the call up. The coughing doesn't stop as I hold my chest beating on it. I manage to puke up nothing but mucus as I hunch over the toilet. Maddox comes in and sits under me with Buster on the back of the toilet as I try to remain calm. Something isn't right, it can't be okay.

Five minutes later the bedroom door opens as I stay over the toilet coughing. "Oh my fuck." I hear Dixon and my mom as Dixon picks me up into his arms.

"Baby look at me." He tells me as I try but I can't move. He picks my head up from his shoulder, I open my eyes softly and see my mom. I know I look bad, I feel so bad.

"She's going to the hospital." She tells him as he pushes me further into his neck and takes me out the house as I keep coughing. I clutch onto him as I grip his shoulders and he carries me to the back. He sits down with me on his thighs as my moms starts driving.

"I'm calling Tayson." She demands as she grabs her phone and speeds up. I don't remember much from their conversation except, "Chest pain" as I reach for the window button and roll it down. Dixon holds my head as I lean it out of the window and try to get some air.

"Kins, Kins, what's going on?" He asks me grabbing my head as he wipes my mouth with the bottom of his shirt. He finds water in his backseat, something he's always been adamant about having since he drinks it like crazy, and wets napkins as he wipes my face trying to cool me down. Only he feels my head and his whole mood changes.

"Mrs. Andrews, shit I meant mom like you told me, I need you to step on it." He tells her as I hold him as close to me as I can. I feel more coughing as I lean my head back out the window coughing. I don't want to make him sick, him or my mom.

When we get to the hospital I feel like I'm moments from passing out. Dixon runs me into the ER with my mom as she takes over. "She's having severe chest pain and she can't breath. I need her seen right now, I need Tayson Hayes on her nursing staff!" She demands as I stay cuddled into Dixon's arms. I'm immediately taken back to a bed with Dixon as I hear my aunt before I see her.

"Always tell the front desk chest pain or they'll never send you back. Heart comes first, even if Kins is lungs." She tells her holding a blank file for me as she looks at me. She listens to my lungs when Dixon sits me on the bed and she taps my chest a few times making me cough harder. She checks my temperature before she checks my heart, and immediately puts me on breathing treatments as Dixon sits next to me holding it onto my face. I grip his hand coughing into the mask as he holds the air over me.

The next minute she's gone as my mom starts filling out all the paperwork next to me. She knows everything, all my doctors, insurance, everything.

"Thank you. I don't know what to do for any of this." Dixon tells her as I grip his tattooed hand trying to catch my breath. I'm sitting up in a bed but I can't catch my breath.
