Small Town Girl

Chapter 8

It was April when it happened. A month after Josh turned in his report and got an A+ on it. Josh had posted another video of me singing in the restaurant where we had our first date. It has 4.3 million views and counting. It was all okay.

"Sarah!"

"Sarah!"

"Sarah!"

"Sarah!"

"Sarah!"

I heard people shouting my name and felt someone shaking me but I couldn't respond. As soon as I heard them shout is when I passed out. I don't know what happened after that but it couldn't have been anything good.

Let me tell you what happened.

It started out like any other day.

I woke up, got ready, and Skyped dad and Amy who were away in Hawaii for their anniversary. Then I said bye to Xavier who came down from college to stay with me for the week they were gone. Finally I went to school and said hi to my friends which since Josh had became a part of group had grown a little. Now Elijah, Josh's best friend hung out with us.

We all walked to electives together since we had the first elective together, but after that Elijah and Josh went to gym while Lilly went to technology and Walt, Cara, I went to band. Then I walked with Elijah to AP History because Cara, Walt, and Lilly didn't have that class and Josh had to go down to talk to our English teacher about his project.

When we got in there we took our seats that were assigned to us. Elijah sit two seats over from me. Then Mr. Fitz began a lecture on Napoleon Bonaparte. I was sitting there listening, taking note, and occasionally doodling when I started to dizzy and short of breath. I knew immediately what was going to inevitably happen. I was starting to lose my breath and didn't know what to do. The only people that knew what was going on weren't here. I done the only thing I could. I told the only person I could trust.

"Elijah..." I whisper not because I didn't Mr. Fitz to hear but because I couldn't get my voice above a whisper. All did was give him a look of fear. Then he was next to me just in time to catch me as I lost all of the oxygen in my lungs and fell out of my chair. As I gasp for air I see the looks of horror on the faces of people I've know since Kindergarden. I hear Mr. Fitz shouting for Elijah to take me to the nurse and the rest of the class to settle down.

Elijah soon picked me up in his arms since I couldn't even stand and ran down the hall and stairs to the nurses office with me.

Elijah liad me down on the nurses table and was shouting that I needed a nurse since no on was there. Soon Cara and Walt showed up, then Walt and last Josh.

When the nurse finally got there she shouted at Elijah "What's wrong with her?!" Josh was the first to speak up "She has Atrial Fibrillation!"

"God. You all shut up!" the nurse says as she begins pressing on my chest and counting.

"What are you doing to her?"Josh shouts "Her heart didn't stop!??!"

When the nurse doesn't answer Cara speaks up "Her heart didn't stop it's just off rhythm. She's resetting it for lack of a better word." she says franticly then everyone starts shouting my name as the nurse stops and my eyes close.

When I open my eyes all I can see is a blinding white light.

"How on Earth did I die and go to Heaven just by having a small attack?" I say out loud

"Oh my gosh! She's up!" Cara shouts while Nathan holds my hand and wipes the hair out of my eyes and says "Oh sweetheart, don't say that, you didn't die."
