I woke up on a stretcher racing ridiculously fast down a white hallway.

"She's dying! Get her on the machine, we're doing the operation now!" I heard Marc yell.

"Sir, what about patient 56"

"This is a Black hospital, they come first"

"But sir-"

"Now!"

I jumped out the stretcher and saw I was enveloped in a hospital gown.

"What the fuck is going on?!" I barked confused. Was I drugged?

"Julie?! How the fuck are you alive?"
I heard sharp intakes of breaths and chocked glances.

"I don't know? Cause I'm breathing." I scoffed. Everyone looked at me with utter amazement.

"I don't get paid enough for this" A man said walking away. "I'm gonna go get coffee" said another.

"Julie what happened to you?"

"I don't know. I got a tattoo-"

"Wait  you got a tattoo-"

"What type of doctor are you?"

"Okay, sorry continue"

"Well I was with Hunter in our house and I felt like my heart stopped and my body just started thrashing and then it suddenly stopped. Hunter returned and then I just vomited and then after that I can't remember anything"

"Wait" he ran his fingers through his hair

"What?" I started getting scared, Marc look scared and serious. "Fuck, its starting"

"What, what's starting?"

He pulled out his phone and sent a text to someone.

"Marc what's starting?"

Suddenly a god like figure busted through the door.

"You're alive!" He said and tackled me to the bed.

"Hunter?"

He kissed me feverishly and I did the same and hugged him close.

"I thought I really lost you this time"

"Guys-"

He hugged me again and shushed Marc.

"Guys-"

"I'll take you home right now"

"Guys-"

"Okay" I said dreamily in his eyes.

"Shut the fuck up!" Marc yelled. "Sit down and listen to me!"

I jumped back hurt. Hunter looked at Marc like he was contemplating on punching the shit out of him right now.

"Sorry Marc " I said bowing my head.

"Fuck, I'm sorry Julie, I didn't mean to yell its just, the fact that you're alive isn't totally good news."

"W-what?" Hunter said sitting next to me holding my hand.

"Your heart its using all the energy it has left wrong. Its speeding up your time sentence."

The blow hit me like a punch to my face.

"What do I do? I-i don't want to die yet" I cried and Hunter held my hand tightly.

"There are things we can do, we can give you treatment but honestly in your late state it wouldn't do much."

The room started to spin.
