Worst In Me N.S.

Ch.18 SVT

No One

Today we get to tour Hamburg, Germany. Taylor and AJ were the most excited. AJ had always wanted to come here since she dated the ex that was stationed here. Don't judge that she has a handful of exes.

Noah was happy to see her happy. She keeps pointing at things and staring in awe at the castles and buildings around them allowing Noah to completely admire her. They pull into the venue that they'd be performing at on Friday and Saturday.

"Alright guys. You will be allowed to roam until 1800 when you will report back here for practice. Taylor and AJ, I would like you back here a little bit earlier to get some schoolwork in before AJ has to practice with the guys. So, around 1600 I would like you two back to do schoolwork" Miles informs them.

They all nod signaling that they understand. Miles releases them and AJ and Taylor take off. Noah and Jolly were happy to see their girls this excited.

AJ

When it was time to head back to the bus, Taylor and I did just that. For about an hour, Taylor and I have been working on schoolwork. We had music playing as well and we were able to have the bus to ourselves.

"My brain is fried," Taylor says.

I chuckle and agree with her. We both push our computers away from us for a minute. My chest begins to hurt really bad, causing me to rub it.

"You okay AJ?" Taylor asks.

"Yea. Sorry my chest hurts really bad" I tell her.

I continue to rub my chest and realize I'm struggling to breathe.

"Taylor" I say, looking at her in pain.

She scoots over to and tries to rub my neck. But something is really wrong.

"Something is really wrong Tay" I try to tell her.

She grabs her phone while I begin screaming out in pain.

Something is extremely wrong.

I didn't remember blacking out, but I did wake up in the ER. I already gave blood and UA; I'm just waiting for the doctor right now and waiting for the band and Miles to get here.

"How are you feeling?" Taylor asks me.

"Like shit. My chest hurts so bad" I say.

My door opens and there he is.

"Hey, I came as soon as I heard" Noah says, kissing me as well.

"I'm just glad you're here" I tell him.

He kisses my forehead then stands back as the doctor comes in.

"Hello Ms. Jayce. I'm Doctor Richton. Given the information that I received from our paramedics and nurses, you called 911 having chest pain and you were unconscious when you arrived" he asks.

I nod.

"I have a diagnosis. But it might ruin this tour you are on" he says.

Noah comes over and grabs my hand tightly.

"You have SVT which is. Basically, rapid heart rate and tightness or pressure in the chest. It can cause fainting the same way that POTS can. Except your SVT is causing you raging chest pain. We'd like to take you for a CT scan of your chest, and we'd like to get an echocardiogram" the doctor says.

I nod as I rub my chest and look over at Noah.

"Go update Miles" I say.

He nods and the nurses come in to get me up to CT.

Noah

Taylor and I go into the waiting room where the rest of the band and Miles all sit waiting for an update on her.

"So, what's going on?" Nick asks.

I sigh.

"Looks like AJ is done with the tour, at least for now" I say.

Miles sighs.

"I'm so sorry Noah" he says.

I sit next to the guys.

"Taylor, you and AJ will be on the first flight home after her release so she can get the treatment that she needs. As for the concerts and interviews that we have coming up, we will let everyone know that our Angel is having health issues and that she's having to head home" Miles explains.

I'm so mad. I don't wanna be without her, but I know this is for the best right now.

"Would we be able to join back on tour once she's better? What about her getting signed to the record label?" Taylor asks.

"Depending on how long her treatment takes she may not rejoin the tour, however when we do get back from tour, she can join us and continue treatment in California that way she can still get signed to the record label" Miles says.

She nods and sits on Jolly's lap. They also gave me her phone to hold onto. I look down at it and see a message come in from a group chat she has with Carolyn, Edith, and Aiden.

Edith: Hey Taylor texted us. What's going on? Are you okay?

Carolyn: AJ please answer, we are super worried about you.

Aiden: AJ. Is it your POTS having a flair up? Is it something worse? What's going on?

I close her phone out then check mine. I decided to post a message to twitter.

Okay everyone. Bad Omens is in need of prayers right now. Our newest member Angel is having some health issues right now and will most likely not be able to continue with the tour. She will still be joining us in California once we get done with the tour but right now is being sent home for treatment and recovery. She's become a really important part of our team and we are all praying for her. We love you, Angel. @sirenangel @badomensofficial

I put my phone away and waited for the doctor.

I am officially going home after I'm released from the hospital. Taylor and I are going to be going back to college but continuing with online schooling because of my health issues. The doctor got in contact with my doctor in South Carolina.

I was also informed that I was going to be receiving a service dog for my case of POTS. My doctor in South Carolina has also scheduled a surgery to fix the SVT for about two weeks from now.

Truthfully, I'm devastated that I'm not going to be able to finish the tour with the guys. Noah came to see me after the CT. I'm currently waiting for the results of that so we can figure out the next step of everything.

Noah and Taylor wait with me. Noah handed me back my phone and I saw several messages from our group chat, but I haven't answered back yet. This isn't what I wanted.

I wanted a normal life. I wanted to be happy. I wanted to go on tour with my boyfriend and best friend and live out my dream but now...

Now my shitty health wins
