Grey Eyed Savior

XLV. Every breath is worth taking.

I wake up in a cold sweat. My breathing heavy and my chest tight. I hear my breaths coming out in puffs.

I move my hand to wake up Adam but my hand is met with a cold sheet. I feel my chest burn as I sit up. I breath in through gritted teeth as I attempt to stand up.

I hear my phone vibrating on the nightstand when I finally manage to get off the bed. I see Jake's name flash across the screen.

I pick it up and raise it to my ear. "Hello," I let out a pained reply. "Hey, Av. Sorry to call so late but I was wondering if you could get Adam to call me back. He hasn't been answering his phone," Jake says. "Umm, sure just a second," I say as I try to walk.

I feel pain soar through my skin, hearing my phone fall onto the ground, along with my body. "Avery?" I hear Jake call as I lay on the floor motionless, my breathing escalating.

"What's going on? Avery?" I hear Jake say as he does something on the other side of the phone. "Where the fuck is Adam, Avery!?" Jake yells as I hear his car start.

I try to reply but feel my body go limp. No words escape my mouth as I helplessly start to wheeze on the floor, feeling tears stream down my face.

I hear the door open downstairs and rushed footsteps as they connect to the stairs. Quickly, I feel gentle arms lift me up and lay me onto the bed.

"Where is he? What happened?" Jake asks as he looks frantically at my body, scanning for injurys. I shake my head frantically as I grip his arms hard.

"Fuck," Jake let's out as he grabs my phone off the floor and dials what I assume is Adams number. "Hello?" I hear on the other side of the phone.

"Where the fuck are you? What the hell is your god damn problem you fucking asshole," Jake yells as he try's to help me. The phone is on speaker and my shirt is ripped off of me as Jake looks at my bullet wound.

I see Jake frantically taking off the wrapping and see blood oozing out of the hole in my chest. "Fuck!" Jake yells as he picks me up. "What the hell are you going on about? What the fuck is going on?" Adam asks frantically.

"Your god damn girlfriends about to fucking bleed out in my arms you piece of shit," Jake shouts over his shoulder as he rushes me down the stairs and into his car.

"Your going to be ok angel," Jake says as he speeds to the hospital.

I'm so confused, my head is spinning and I can hardly breathe. What is happening to me? Am I going to die?
