Chapter 12

Nicole's POV

For a second, I couldn't breathe. It was like my whole world was passing by but not like those cliché movies that tell you your life flashes before your eyes...no. It was much more different like the whole world could still see and hear you and you were just a snowflake, falling and slipping away until you were no longer wanted or seen.

This is how I felt but ten time's worst. I couldn't put the pieces together because in all honesty I didn't know what the hell sleep apnea was. All I knew is that my whole life I would wake up never content with my sleep wanting to just get some more. As much as I tried to just come back to life and ask my doctor, why? Why Me?

It was always me, my whole life I had horrible luck. It was Bells who got the boys and good grades. Don't get me wrong I love her so much, but it was always someone else who got what I wanted. I wanted to be valedictorian and be the perfect student, Michelle Vasquez is now in the lead while I am very far behind. I wanted that cute boy on the basketball team, but guess who got him? Bells. I never told her any of this seeing as it wouldn't make much of a difference.

I also have had the longest crush on the quarter back of our school ( This was her senior year at school.)

, Jake, he had the grades and the looks. Did I ever get him? No. Alexia Conant did. The school slut. I never once brought it up to anyone because it never mattered. I never mattered. My dad wouldn't spend much time with me because he had another woman, he thought I didn't know. He would always be with them this is why he came home late, never went to my awards, or anything.

And here I was trying to contemplate if I even mattered to Jason, because in the end he did kidnap me, lock me in a basement, and didn't feed me. But he also gave me clothes, cuddled with me at night, and made me feel wanted. Oh my goodness, I was going crazy! I needed to get out of here but not before finding out what sleep apnea was.

"Nicole."

I snapped out of it to see three pairs of eyes looking at me; Jazzy's, Jason's, and the doctors.

How long was I out for?

"Yes?"

"Are you ok? Do you know what sleep apnea is?" said a very concerned looking Jason.

I shook my head no, so the doctor began to explain it to me.

"Well, it's basically a sleeping disorder. Sleep apnea (AP-ne-ah) is a common disorder in which you have one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep.

Breathing pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes. They may occur 30 times or more an hour. Typically, normal breathing then starts again, sometimes with a loud snort or choking sound.

Sleep apnea usually is a chronic (ongoing) condition that disrupts your sleep. When your breathing pauses or becomes shallow, you'll often move out of deep sleep and into light sleep.

As a result, the quality of your sleep is poor, which makes you tired during the day. Sleep apnea is a leading cause of excessive daytime sleepiness. (THIS IS NOT MINE, THIS IS FROM A WEBSITE, DETAILS BELOW)" The doctor said this as calmly as possible. My jaw hit the floor, wouldn't I have noticed?

"How long?" I asked shakily.

"Pardon Me?" The doctor raised an eyebrow.

"How long have I had this, 'Sleep apnea'?" I asked, my voice getting stronger.

"I ran some tests and discovered you have had this for about.... 7 Years approximately."

"I don't get it. How the hell didn't I know? Has nobody heard me, ever?"

"Miss, yours is very, critical. See you do not snore and you do not gasp for air... You simply don't breathe, it is quite unnoticeable which is why no one has noticed. There is a cure and imp sure you'll get one as soon as Jason is done with bomb-"

"SHUT UP!" Jason screamed and he immediately clamped his mouth shut... What? DID HE JUST SAY BOMB!?!

"Excuse me???" I said waiting to hear the rest but to my disappointment no one answered me.

I sighed and said "When can I leave?"

"Just sign these papers and you can be released.

He handed me some papers and I immediately signed them. Jazzy looked at me and said "Whas wong"

I probably had that pissed off look, please don't let me take it out on the poor child...

"Nothing sweetheart I'm fine."

I looked at Jason and told him that I wanted to leave now. He nodded and we walked out of the hospital. I know what you're thinking and don't worry I'm one step ahead of you. Before I left the room I dropped a napkin that had "Help me please, follow SWAGYC4N. Call 911." written on it.

I smiled to myself, things were finally going my way.
