I woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm clock meaning that the weekend was over and it was time to go back to hell or I mean school but its basically the same thing. As I go to stand up, I'm greeted by a huge headache. My nose was completely stuffed up it was like I couldn't breathe. Suddenly my chest felt heavy and I was having trouble controlling my breathing. Growing up with cystic fibrosis meant that mucus was always building up in my lungs but ever since I've taken a special drug for it, I've been better but why was it acting up all of a sudden? I went to my bathroom to hopefully take some and feel better in a few but when I opened the bottle there was none left. I forgot to get a refill and after all the drama last night I must have forgotten to take it.

Growing up, I got sick very often and my parents had always tried to find another way to help me instead of cheap, shitty medication that wasn't helping. Finally after a while of searching they found an amazing drug, and for years I haven't been getting as highly sick and breathing has been extremely easier, until right now and I could feel it getting worse and with being deprived of oxygen I became dizzy and light head. I stumbled down the hall to get my mum or dad for help, as I walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning darling." my mum said. I couldn't speak, and all that came out was and awful cough and wheezing. My mum could now obviously tell that something was wrong.

"Charlotte what's wrong?' she said in a worried tone as she ran over to me. I fell to the ground as she tried to get me to breathe. The nerves were not helping either.

"Luke!" she called out to my dad. After a few moments my dad ran in, hearing the panicked tone in my mum's voice.

"What happened?" he asked her.

"I don't know, she came in barely breathing. Go get her medication." she said. He ran out and with in seconds he came back.

"It's empty." he said. He was running frantic until I felt my dad pick me up.

"It's alright Charlotte, we're going to get you to the hospital." he said to me as he carried me out. He placed me in the back seat with my mum as I placed my head on her lap. My dad started the car and drove as fast as he could.

"Shh baby we are almost there." my mum said softly, but I could hear the shakiness in her voice. Finally we pulled up and my father's arms we soon under me again and ran me inside. I'm surprised he could even carry me to be honest but then again, I was abnormally lanky like him.

"Someone help!" he called out. I heard other's voices but none that I could make out, until they put my on a gurney. I saw my dad running next to me as they pulled me into a room where they started hooking me up to a machine to help me breathe better.

"Take deep breathes sweet hear." the nurse said. Then after I could breathe more and had calmed down, they had me take my medication. Took a little while for the medication to kick in but after that I was breathing normally. My mum and dad sad next the my bed.

"God you had me worried there Charlotte. Why didn't tell one of us you were running out of medication?" he said softly.

"I guess I meant to but just forgot." I said

"Well you're okay now." my mum said, taking my hand in hers. Then my phone started to ring, and I saw it was Tate.

"Hey" I said into the phone.

"Hey where are you? I've been waiting outside your house and are your parents gone this early?" he asked.

"Okay don't freak out but I'm kinda in the hospital right now." explained.

"What? Why? You know what it doesn't matter because I'm on my way." he exclaimed and hung up the phone before I could even get a word in.

"Well Tate is on his way I think." I told my parents.

After a while Tate had arrived as he ran into the room.

"I'm sorry, the lady at the front desk told me I couldn't see you cause I wasn't immediate family but don't worry I slipped past without her knowing." he said as he sat in a chair on the opposite side my parents were sitting on.

"What happened?" he asked.

"I kinda forgot to take my medication. Just having a little mucus blockage but I'm okay now." I explained. He was going to say something but my mum butted in.

"Charlotte, me and your dad are going to get something to eat." she stated

"Oh I'm not that hungry." explained.

"You're coming with me to the food court" she said then slightly gestured to me and Tate.

"Oh okay." he said, understanding. He got up and they both made their way out.

"Now that they're are gone can I kiss you." Tate asked.

"Yes." I smiled at him, as he leaned over and kissed me.

"Don't go and scare me again." he said softly as he looked into my eyes.

"I won't" I assured him. He held my hand the whole time and told me how this was his excuse to not come to school then he got worried and said I wasn't just an excuse and all I did was laugh at his awkwardness.

"Hey Charlie guess what?" he whispered to me.

"What?" I whispered back.

"I love you." he said and kissed me softly.

"Okay break it up, we're back." my dad said as both parents walked in. I couldn't help but blush and be embarrassed.

I became really tired after a while. My mum had already fallen asleep, Tate stayed awake with me and even if my dad didn't think we could hear, he was whispering to mum's developing baby bump. Tate had fallen asleep with his head resting on my bed as my dad still whispered. Ii could hear him faintly, and I guess he though I had fallen asleep too.

"Hey bud I know you probably don't know who I am right now, but I'm your dad and we are here in the hospital with your big sister and your mum. I promise this world isn't as bad as it seems. I mean with a big sister like Charlotte you're going to do just fine." he said softly and with that I slowly fell asleep.
