( 6 HOURS AGO )

Freen and Becky came back to the older woman's penthouse after they visited Freen's family. After watching a movie and cuddling on the couch, the couple decided to call it a night.

In the middle of the night, Freen woke up, her body covered with sweat, she removed the blanket which was draped over her body, she found it weird as the air conditioner was on. She got up from the bed, glancing towards Becky, hoping that her movements didn't disturb her lover's sleep.

Freen sleepily walked towards the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to get a bottle of water. " I don't think I can go back to sleep ". Freen muttered and then let out a yawn, she checked the time on her phone and it was 4:00 in the morning, sighing she thought about working in her home office.

After few minutes, Freen started sweating again and her vision got blurry, not able to understand what was happening with her, Freen got to her balcony to get some fresh air but that didn't work as well. " Should I wake her up ? ". Freen thought about waking Becky up so she could check on her, it was a solution that popped in her mind for a second, however, she dropped in when she looked at the peaceful figure of her lover sleeping.

It was around 4:58 a.m. when Freen's condition got worse, her vision went black and she fell to the ground with a massive headache, her body shivered, she didn't have enough time to register was happening to her, thinking that it was one of those attacks so she got up from the floor, clutching the wall behind her.

Freen slowly walked towards the cabinet which had her pills, she popped three pills which was more than the amount suggested by her doctor, however, she didn't care, she needed this pain to fade away, it was worse than the ones she faced before.

The pills fell from her hands with the bottle of water, she lost her consciousness and let the darkness take over her.

" What the fuck happened ? ". Freen muttered with a heavy sigh, she slowly opened her eyes and scanned the room, she was still in her penthouse but why does it feel like she woke up from a dream which was the reality.

" I can't breathe ". Freen clutched her chest tightly, unable to feel the air inside her lungs, her body was shivering and it felt like the world would collapse on her soon. " What happened ? What time is it ? ". She held her phone in her hand, trying so hard to focus on the digits displayed on her screen but she couldn't make out what was the time.

She looked out of the window to see that the sun was coming up so it is maybe close to 6 in the morning. She slowly and wobbly towards the balcony of her penthouse to get some air, she seriously needed to feel air inside her lungs, it was the only way she could make herself believe that she is alive.

After few moments of trying to keep her breathing under control which was a failed attempt, Freen settled down on the floor close to her balcony door, she slid down and held her knees close to her chest, letting down her tears.
