Not even him

CHAPTER 8

There's a lot of people here and even more questions. My chest is tightening and my breathing is quickening. That was just phase one. My head started to swim with questions noticing every little detail around me. It's like my own mind is screaming at me. Now I'm blinking rapidly. I can see we're getting closer to the building it's only a bit away.

I'm not making it. Am I?

I reach to tap on one of the security guards on the shoulder but instead just stumble into him. All I can manage to say is Liam's name as I start to gasp for air, Still trying to hide all of this as much as I can from anyone else. He quickly pulls Liam to me. I look up to him gasping for air. He immediately knows what's wrong. He turns to another security guard and tells him something I couldn't really hear. When he turns back to me he grabs ahold of me and starts to try to calm me down. As we filly come upon the entrance I feel everything close in on me. Liam can notice how i'm now just barely gasping for air, nothing coming in, only out. He picks up the pace a bit still trying to keep me calm. I'm getting weaker. I feel it.

The first step we took into the building I collapsed on the floor not being able to hold out much longer. Liam comes down with me. He's trying to get me to breathe but it's not working. I started seeing more darkness. This has never happened usually if my asthma is triggered we catch it in time. As the darkness continues to consume me I see paramedics running toward Liam and I. My eyes started getting heavy when I felt something press my lips. Next thing I felt was cooled air. It took 4 tries to even get it so I was just kinda breathing. They put a mask on me and checked my vitals. They kept me there for a minute or so when one of the guards, Paul, came up to him and whispered something.

"Ok you vitals seem to be good. Your heart is slowing down and from what I've seen there doesn't seem to be any neurological deposits. I would rather like to keep you here but I know you have a flight to catch. I know you can't miss it so I'm sending some things with Your guard Paul. Just an oxygen mask and inhaler along with a few other things for precautions. Sound good?" one of the paramedics spoke calmly to me. "Um, Yeah." my voice was barely there. "Ok, you just need to be careful the next couple of days. Keep an eye out. We don't need something like this happening again." I just nodded. Paul and the other paramedic helped me up. Liam then went to my side to help stabilize me. I could see he was worried. We walked slowly to the plane. Step by step. I just wanted to sleep.

When we got in our seats I immediately got comfortable. Then I remembered what just happened. I quickly looked over to see paul. "Hey um paul. Did anyone see what happened?" I asked concerned. "I don't believe so. The other guards cover the scene well. No one should've seen. I'm so sorry you had to go through that and all that's been happening. I hope you know your safe with me. And if there's anything at all-" "Always give you a call. I know." I finished for him. "Always."

If only he really understood.
