"Cassidy? Are you there?"
"I... I have to go."
"Cassidy-"
Before he had the chance to say anything else, I hang up the call. The screen was the only light source in my room, reading the number had ended, it lasted 15 minutes. It felt longer than that. Instantly, I throw my phone on the other side of my bed. Staring at it, hoping that Calum didn't call back, but soon I felt a stinging tension in my chest. I brought my knees to my chest and wrapped them with my arms, rocking back and forth, I couldn't breathe right. I felt my chest tightening, it almost feels like my lungs are closing. I started to feel my heart beating, the room was spinning slowly but when my head, the room spun rapidly. My vision began to become blurry. My heart is pounding hard against my chest.
"Help.." I coughed, loudly.
I tried to climb out of the bed but I collapse down to my knees. It's getting worse now, I feel my body become numb. With all of my strength, I crawled to my door, grabbing the doorknob, banging on the door with all the strength I had left.
What's happening to me?
I gave up, falling to my left side, the pain was getting worse. My throat was closing, everything was tightening, and I began to sweat.
Angelina and Wesley were inside my house, I know they were. They always check on me because they feel like I'm going to do something when I'm alone. It hurts like hell. I heard footsteps running up the stairs before everything became mute or echoey. I heard the door opens and the sound of someone throwing themselves on the ground. I felt my body being lifted, I looked up to a blurry face before everything started to fade away.
Come on, Cass. Calm down. There you go. One, two, three. One, two, three.
"Cassidy, calm down. Please,"
Just like that, a ring came in sharp, and I felt I had control of my body, I was wrapped in someone's arms. I realized then it was Wesley, I was in his arms and I felt safe. Soon, all the pain went away. I felt relief to know the pain on my body disappeared; however, a sting still hurt my heart. Angelina tells Wesley to put me to bed, Wesley carries me to my bed quickly, checking me all over my face, trying to wipe the stained tears away.
I saw Angelina standing by the door. "What happened, Cassie?"
I took me a while to speak, I was having a hard time breathing, my throat felt dry and closed. Wesley gets up on his feet before running out of the room, seconds later he comes back with a glass of water. I drank the water as if I hadn't drunk any in years, it was nice, cold flowing in my body.
