The Boy Trapped

Chapter 28

Colette's POV
I shut the door and locked it. I slid down the door onto the floor. I started trying to relax.

You're okay Cole.

It's okay.

He's dealing with her.

Everything is okay.

I lied to myself. Everything wasn't okay. I had a miscarriage a week later. We were heartbroken. Then...then Masie did the most unforgivable thing. She ruined our wedding day. I stared at Nyxon. I was so embarrassed. I fell to my knees. Everyone was staring at Masie. I broke down. Nyxon started holding me.

Everyone was yelling. I covered my ears.

"I-it's too loud! I-it's too loud!"

My ears started ringing. Everyone sounded like, they were underwater. I saw Nyxon talking but, I didn't hear him. All I could hear was, myself crying. He even started crying. Masie has a devilish smile across her ugly face. My body was frozen.

Oh no!

I'm overstimulated!

I-I'm scared to move!

Our families were holding Masie back. Everything was still muffled. I felt my body moving. Nyxon picked me up. He started running. He put me down on a chair. I started hyperventilating. My chest started to kill me.

"I can't...I can't...I can't...b-breathe..."

It went black. Nyxon screamed bloody murder.

                        Nyxon's POV
"Colette?! Cole?! COLE! WAKE UP!"

My mom and brother ran to me. I started doing CPR.

"Don't do this! Wake up! Wake up!"

Everyone surrounded me and Colette. Masie pushed her way to the front. She looked terrified.

"You did this! You killed her! You killed my baby! You killed my wife!"

"Nyx...I-I didn't mean...oh god. I-I'm so sorry!"

"I wanna die! I wanna die! I-I can't live without her!"

My brother and an EMT held me back.

"Wake up! Why isn't he waking up?! Coley please!"

I wasn't allowed in the ambulance.

"Hey! What the hell?! Guys, let me go! Get off me! Luke get the hell off!"

I started hyperventilating and crying harder. My legs started to wobble. At the hospital, I was put in a private room. I paced around it. My mind was racing. It was on fire. I couldn't think straight. Everyone was telling me to relax but, then saying that, was pissing me off. Then we got told what happened.

Broken heart syndrome. Masie broke her heart. Literally. I ran into her hospital room, the second I was allowed. She was on a ventilator and had all of the IVs coming out of her body. It killed me.
