Last Moments
Chapter 14
Emma's POVI awoke the next day to many voices arguing. I knocked on Matthew's door to figure out what was going on. I had just started to recognize the voices when they were shushed and Matthew answered the door. "Emma, go change and make yourself look good, then come back..." He whispered. Still confused, I followed his directions and when I found myself back at his door, looking cute and feeling clean and wide awake, I was finally let in. "Emma," Matthew started, "this is One Direction." Sitting on Matthew's bed were the five members of the band I had wholeheartedly fallen in love with, I felt my breathing shorten as I processed the sight in front of me. I held in the squeal, and as calmly as I could, greeted each of them with 'hello' and a hug.
"How long have you guys been working?" I asked.
"Probably four or so hours." Liam answered.
"Would you guys like some snacks or something? Matthew isn't a very good host." I offered teasingly.
Matthew stuck his tongue out at me before leading the boys down into our kitchen. After agreeing, I poured them all glasses of lemonade and grabbed a bag of chips with salsa for them to snack on. As we were eating, I felt a weird sensation in my stomach.I excused myself and rushed to the bathroom. I didn't get that far. The feeling turned to stifling pain and I fell to my knees clutching my stomach. I felt the room start to spin and couldn't tell which way was up. I felt a hand on my back and heard voices, but I couldn't make sense of any of it. Black dots became apparent in my vision and they started getting bigger. I couldn't catch my breath and my stomach felt like it was ripping itself apart. I vaguely remember flashing lights and yelling. I couldn't see anything anymore.
But I heard everything.
Matthew's panicked yells for help, unknown voices calling for calm and to hurry to the hospital. I felt a presence next to me and felt the pressure of someone's hand massaging my stomach. The pain was overbearing but I forced myself to focus on the good feeling. I felt vehicle lurch forward and I almost wished I was dead so this all could end.
