When Sloan Casey was at her lowest point at 17, she met Alex Abrams. Though sheltered it was almost as if Alex brought her back to life through her struggles. But after falling for Alex, the last thing she expected was for him to ghost her.
But what...

Fuck this class.
I'm sorry but I think this is where I, Sloan Casey, die. Because nothing was making sense and just a few classes into the semester I knew I was fucked.
Nothing aligned anymore and I almost felt as if I was dying. Because Lila was gone and I was left alone in my dorm. And the thoughts of Alex wouldn't leave, it was worse without her distraction.
If only she knew that Alex was in the room. The boy I talked about for years, the one who I wish would come back to me. The love I shared for him, she knew it all. But she didn't know that it was Alex who joked with her in that room. Who was a best friend to Ace and a stranger to me now.
My heart aches in a way I wish it didn't. Because I wasn't clean of him, in fact I never would be. Because even just seeing him ruined me, I knew he wondered how I was.
He probably questioned my in take of wine at dinner. He'd be proud to know I'm four years sober, but it didn't matter. He wouldn't know, how could he?
"Miss Casey?" I look up from my notes to see the teacher staring right at me.
"Yes Professor Pritchard" She scans the room and I recognize I'm the only one left.
"Class has ended" I stand quickly in embarrassment collecting my items, "Miss Casey" I look back up to her "My office is always open for help."
"Yes Professor Pritchard, thank you I apologize for this" She nods and I exit the class swiftly. Tears roll down my cheeks and as I saw him distantly, I knew my day couldn't have gotten worse.
But instead of being a dick he looked at me worried "Sloan?" He withdrew from his path and walked towards me.
"H-hey Brody" I quickly wipe my nose and take steady breaths.
"What happened?"
"Just Professor Pritchards class" a sharp pain is felt in my abdomen and I halt clutching the area.
"Sloan?" It spreads down my legs causing me to lean against Brody. Of course over a month later of seeing each other and this is what happens.
"I-I'm in a lot of pain" I groan at the sharp feeling again, it was like a period cramp but a thousand times worse.
"Where does it hurt?" He looks to the clutched area of my stomach, "we should get you to a hospital" before I could argue I groan in pain once more to where I almost can't walk.
He helps me to a cab and gets us into one rushing us to a hospital. The pain only gets worse in this moment causing me to clutch the doors.
"God why does this hurt so bad" I feel the tears leave my eyes and as I look up at Brody he's at a loss for what to do. So instead he unbuckles his seat and pulls me into his arms as I curl into them.
"Just breathe, 4 minutes out" I squeeze his hand as my teeth grind and as we finally make it there the door pushed open as she screams for help.
I couldn't even walk if I wanted to at this point. It was a stabbing and gut twisting pain. I felt like I was having contractions, it was the worst cramps.
