(S.S.) "We need to get you to the hospital!"

     A tortured scream echoed throughout the white house with a banana porch. I rushed up the beige carpeted stairs with imaginary sweat flinging in front of me. I thrust open the wooden door to reveal an ill -looking, pale Hailey.

"Oh my God! I'm bleeding! Liam HELP ME! I don't know what to do!" She panicked with her red smudged hands flailing.

"Hailey! Hailey! Hailey! Calm down! Are you bleeding internally or externally?" I questioned, trying to source her pain.

"I-I-I don't know, am I supposed to be able to feel that?! Both!" She yelled with her voice cracking.

Liam's eyes widened, "We need to get you to the hospital now!"

"No! It's too embarrassing!"

"Embarrassing?! Hailey, don't be ridiculous, you're bleeding and you're freaking out which is freaking me out!"

"I don't need the hospital!" She shrieked. "But maybe..."

"Spit it out, Hailey, so I can help you and stop hanging from a thread."

"Some Mexican food..? Chocolates..? And--"

"Wait," I closed my eyes, holding a hand out, and holding her silence. "You mean to tell me..."

Hailey picked up attitude without hesitation. "I'm on my period!"
