SWEET HOME OHIO

CHAPTER 14- SCARED OF LOSING PEOPLE

*continuously beep sound coming*

God, what happened all of sudden, Pochita suddenly fainted. And she isn't responding. I hope she's all right. Everyone here is scared for her. After an hour, Doctor came back from the room.

YORU- Doctor, is my sister okay? Is she alright? Does she get a heart attack? What's her report? Please tell me or I am gonna cry now!!

DOCTOR- (confused) Umm...

SHAWN- She's the patient's younger sister.

DOCTOR- Oh okay then.

HAZEL- Doctor, how is she? We all are worried for her here.

SAM- Fr.

DOCTOR- I can understand you all. We examined her, her pulse rate was low. Can you tell what she was doing before she got fainted? Because her nutrition and water level are normal.

YORU- Umm, she was acting mad and kinda stressed too.

DOCTOR- Is she always like that?

YORU- Yea, she was like that from the very beginning.

DOCTOR- I get it. You guys don't have to worry. Sometimes, our brain is unable to handle some things, and because of that, it affects our heart and our pulse rate becomes slow for a while.

SAM- Huh?

HAZEL- Hmm, our brain is connected to our heart by some neurons. I also feel some pain in my chest when those old painful memories trigger in my mind.

SAM- Woah, which kind of old memories?

HAZEL- That's a long story.

SAM- Oh okay.

YORU- Will she be okay?

DOCTOR- Absolutely. Her pulse rate is becoming normal and she's recovering faster than we expected. For now, we are giving her glucose by using a drip, so that she could gain energy back. Plus, an oxygen mask because it was observed that she was getting difficulty in breathing.

YORU- Oh god!!

DOCTOR- But don't worry, she is totally fine. She's just in a deep sleep, which is good for her recovery. Umm, can we do some paperwork, I need information about the patient.

YORU- Yes doctor (went with the doctor towards the reception)

HAZEL- Thank god, she got the medical aid on time.

SHAWN- Fr. Sam, reach home, we are here to look after her.

SAM- Okay, take care, guys (leaves)

HAZEL- I am feeling dizzy now.

SHAWN- Oh Hazzy, don't take so much pressure on yourself. We told you today that you don't have to take so much pressure on yourself. It will affect your health.

HAZEL- Bro, how can I think of myself after looking at whatever happened? I could have saved Pochita if I was present there. I know how to comfort her and others. It's all my mistake that I wasn't there.

SHAWN- Bro, stop blaming yourself. It's not your fault. I mean, no one is guilty of her current situation.

HAZEL- I don't know but I feel like since I came here and met Pochita, everything started ruining.

SHAWN- Oh c'mon, nothing is like that. You are just overthinking. In fact, if you weren't here, then our GC would have died sooner.

HAZEL- But now, the GC will die for sure.

SHAWN- Hmm, I guess you're right.

HAZEL- Fr.

SHAWN- Oh no, the system is gonna overload again. I gotta go back to my house to check it. I'll be back here.
