Hayes

I get up and start breathing really hard.

"Are you okay? Hayes?" She says standing up.

"Please just stay away, please." I say backing up, hitting my back on the door.

"Where's my inhaler." I say looking through my pockets hella crazy.

I start coughing and gasping.

"Help me Layla please!" I say with the last few breaths I have.

"Oh-" she says standing there for a few seconds contemplating what to do.

She runs out of the house.

Layla

I run out of my house and immediately knock on Hayes' front door.

His mom greets me and asks me what's wrong.

"It's Hayes," I start.

"Wh-what's wrong with him?" She asks panicking.

"His asthma, inhaler." Is all I can get out.

She runs to the kitchen and to look for the inhaler, I suppose.

I run to go get Hayes.

Who is sitting down taking deeps breaths.

"Come on Hayes." I say picking him up.

I meet his mom halfway onto his lawn.

She takes him in the house and shuts the door.

I stand there.

I don't know what just happened.

I snap out of my thoughts.

These thoughts are eating my brain.

I look around and run into my house.

I lock all doors and windows, shut all the curtains.

I lay in bed peeping through my curtains to hopefully see Hayes.

Hayes

After my mom takes me in, she put the inhaler in my mouth and starts pumping.

"Come on Hayes, 1, 2, 3, 4," and so on.

I take it all in.

What happened back there.

I take the final breath and collapse on the couch.

My body is drained.

I start breathing hard again.

"Baby, how are you?" My mom asks.

"I don't know. I can breathe. But I don't know how I feel." I state with no emotion.

She helps me up to my room and I lay down.

I'm emotionally, mentally, and physically drained.

I feel so sore in the stomach.

I peek out my curtains to see hers closed.

I feel so bad.

Why did that happen?

I don't know why.

I fall asleep, worrying.

I hope my dreams are better than reality.

I am in the ocean swimming with Layla.

We are laughing and play Marco Polo.

"Marco!" I yell.

"Polo!"

"I'll find you beautiful!" I yell.

"Marco!"

"Marco?"

"Layla you're cheating." I say opening my eyes.

"Layla?"

She is no where to be found.

I slip underwater to see if she is hiding.

I see her far away, giggling and swimming faster and faster.

"Layla wait!" I yell.

I hear her laughter echoing through my mind.

I'm underwater for quite a while.

Chasing her.

I'm too deep.

I need air, I can't breathe.

Help me.

I try to swim to surface but I can't reach it in time.

I wake up and gasp for air.

I take deep breaths till I finally calm down.

I look and see that it's 3 AM.

I look out my curtains to see Layla's top body out her window, taking in the fresh cold air.

I pull back my curtains and my window.

"Hey." I awkwardly start.

"Oh hi." And says looking off to the distance.

"You gave me quite a scare today." She says looking up at the stars.

"I didn't know what happened. I'm just as scared as you." I say rubbing the back of my neck.

"I'm sorry. For trying to kiss you. I think that's what triggered it." I suggest.

"Oh that." She says looks off to the side.

"Yeah." I say trying to avoid eye contact.

"Why didn't you kiss me?" I blurt.

"Well,"

Oooooooo updating in the morning! I'm vveryyyyyy sorry guys 😞😞😞
