The new girl (9-1-1 Lone Star) {💯%}

7. Losing it all

Mateo pov:
"Anna!" I yelled as I went ibside her apartment.
I quickly looked around but I didn't see her.
"Anna!"
Then there she was, in a puddle of blood and with her wrists cut in her (almost) empty bathroom.
"No!" I yelled and I quickly called 9-1-1 as I started to tie towels around her wrists.

12 hours earlier:

Anna pov:
I saw him in that hospital bed, tons of machines attached to him.
The nurse looked at me.
"Are you okay ma'am?" she asked and I sat down next to my son.
"Zack...?" I said softly and his eyes opened.
"Mom..." he said weakly and I took his hand.
He looked at me.
"I'm scared mom..."
"It's okay honey... I'm right here."
"I'm scared... to die."
Then I knew what he meant. He was gonna die there... and soon.
I looked at him and tried to hold my tears back.
"You don't have to be afraid of that... You'll be on a peaceful place..."
"I don't want to leave you alone mom..."
"That's okay, you don't have to worry about me. I don't want you to suffer..."
I stroke his hair out of his face and I kissed his forehead.
"Just close your eyes... And go..." I said softly and he had tears in his eyes.
"I love you mom..."
"I love you to Zack... But soon you'll finally be able to rest..."
He looked at me and a tear fell down his cheek.
"Will you be okay...?"
"Don't worry about me baby..." I said and I squeezed his hand softly.
Then he did as I asked and he closed his eyes. The monitor beepee that his heart had stopped and I burst out in tears.
One of the nurses walked to me and tried to calm me down.

A few moments later, I walked back to Mateo.
He looked at me.
"Is everything okay...?"
"He's gone..." I said and I burst out on tears again.
He wrapped his armes around me snd I just cried.
"I'm so sorry..." Mateo said.
"What the hell am I supposed to do without him? All I did was for him..."
He tried to calm me down and after a while we decided to go to the others.
Once they saw my expression, they knew enough.
So I got dragged into an instant grouphug.

It took a while but when I was calmer I looked at the others.
"Thanks for the comforting guys..." I said and Nancy looked at me.
"Of course, that's what you got friends for."
"Are you sure you're okay?" Paul asked and I stood up.
"Yea, I think I'm gonna head home y'know..." I said and Judd looked at me.
"Don't do anything stupid okay." he said with a sly smirk and I chuckled softly.
"I won't don't worry." I said and Mateo looked at me.
"Would you mind giving me a ride? My car is still at the station since I came with you." he asked and I looked at him.
"Right, of course. That's the least I could do for you for being there for me." I said and I drove Mateo to the 126 station so he could drive home with his own car, which he only had for a few days according to Marjan and Paul.

Mateo pov: 
Later that night I texted Anna.
'How are you doing?' I texted her. But it wasn't delivered. 
Maybe she ran out of data for this month? I mean she didn't have WIFI since she couldn't pay for that. 
I sighed and decided to leave it for now, I was gonna see her the next day anyway...

So the next morning started a bit weird... 
"Hey Probie, have you seen Anna?" captain Strand asked.
"No... Why?" I asked and Judd looked at me.
"She hasn't been answering any of our texts and she is late, as is way too late for her being." he said and I looked at my phone, my text was now delivered.
"No, maybe she overslept...?" I tried and Marjan and T.K. shared a look.
"Someone should check up on her." T.K. said and Marjan looked at me.
"And with someone we mean you Mateo, it's obvious you like her." she said and the guys looked at me.
"He does?" Paul asked.
"Since when?" Judd asked.
"How did I miss that?" T.K. said.
"Ugh, boys." Nancy said.
I looked at the others and started to worry about Anna, she lost her son yesterday. She wouldn't do something... Right? 
"Maybe you're right, I should probably check up on her to see if she's okay... She did seem pretty upset last night but that's understandable since she literally watched Zack die..." I said and captain Strand looked at me.
"Let us know how she's doing okay?" 
"Y- yea, of course." I said and I hurried to Anna's apartment.

Then as I came to her appartement, I could hear her music coming from her phone. But when I knocked and called her name; no response.
After a few moments I checked my phone, a missed text from Anna...
'I'll miss you Mateo, but I miss Zack more...'
Hold up- NO!
Then I might've got the door open on a way I shouldn't have...
"Anna!" I yelled as I went ibside her apartment.
I quickly looked around but I didn't see her.
"Anna!"
Then there she was, in a puddle of blood and with her wrists cut in her (almost) empty bathroom.
"No!" I yelled and I quickly called 9-1-1 as I started to tie towels around her wrists.

9-1-1:
"9-1-1 what's your emergency?"
"A female mid-twenty with both of her wrists cut."
"I located you, on what floor and in what apartment number are you?"
"Floor 9, apartment 11."
"Are the cuts horizontal or vertical?"
"Vertical, all the way to her elbows."

Mateo pov:
So the 9-1-1 dispatcher told me to find ducktape or plastic foil, so I could wrap that around the towels to stelp the bleeding until the paramedics arrived.
"Stay with me Anna... Please..." I muttered and I noticed that her breathing was slowing down just like her pulse.
"She's stopping with breathing and her puls is disappearing." I said to the 9-1-1 dispatcher which was on speaker and on the floor.
"The paramedics are in the buildign, if her pulse is gone before they're at you, start compressions. You know how to do that?"
"Yes, I'm a firefighter. I needed to know that before I was allowed to become a firefighter." I said and I checked for her pulse but it was still there... Just really, really weak.
