Where Hearts Might Heal

Chapter 24

"What happened?" Mama P asked.

"I don't know. I went to get her a new ice pack. She was in a lot of pain. When I came back, she gave me this weird look and tapped her chest. I realized she couldn't breathe, so I yelled for someone to get you." I could hear the panic in Jay's voice. Mama P checked me over.

"What's she taken since I left?" She asked.

"Just the pain medicine." Beck replied.

"Has she ever taken that before?" I shook my head as best as I could.

"Not that I know of. Why?" Beck asked.

"I think she's having an allergic reaction. We'll have to take her in again. With her like this, I think it's just best to call an ambulance." Mama P explained. I closed my eyes as dark spots filled my vision.

"Jay?" I croaked out. A hand jerked in mine then Jay was right in front of my face.

"Oh thank God." He whispered. "She's awake." He said louder. I just blinked at him. Mama P smiled at me.

"You had us worried." She whispered.

"Again." I mumbled so lowly that only Jay and I heard it. He pressed a kiss to my forehead just as the doctor walked in.

"Didn't think I'd be seeing you again so soon." He said. I gave him a small smile. "I already filled your brother and Mrs. Silverton in on what happened. You had an allergic reaction to something in the pain medicine you took. You're okay now. You just need to stay away from that particular medicine from now on. You can check in with your regular doctor, they can run several tests to figure out exactly what you're allergic to. We've already ran a few tests. We'll be calling with the results in a few days. Have a Merry Christmas. A nurse will be in shortly with your release paperwork." He explained before leaving.

Everybody crowded around me as soon as we walked into the resort. "Are you okay?" Tate asked. I nodded.

"Just an allergic reaction to the medicine I took. I'm fine. But I'd like to go to sleep." I replied. "I'm sorry for worrying you guys again." I apologized.

"Blaire, it's okay. We know you're not doing it on purpose. Right?" Ross asked. I smiled at him and shook my head.

"No way. I'm so tired of seeing doctors." I glanced at Jay. I was also tired of seeing that worried look on his face. I didn't want to see it again. "Let's go to bed." I whispered. He nodded then motioned for everybody to move. They quickly moved so we could make our way through. I leaned my head on his shoulder as we waited for the elevator. "I had plans for tonight." I mumbled sleepily. "I don't think we're going to be able to do that now. Sometimes I hate being me. I hate being this sickly. Three emergency hospital visits in like three weeks. Even though one wasn't really on me. Someone pushed me. Good thing this isn't the hand I write with." I mumbled. Jay chuckled beside me.

"You sure are talkative." He whispered. I smiled.

"I'm talking so I don't fall asleep before we get to the bed." I admitted. Next thing I knew, I was lifted into his arms.

"You can sleep. I've got you." He whispered. I snuggled my head into his chest as I closed my eyes.
