Perfect Pair | Kenneth San Jose

ALTERNATIVE ENDING

Naomi's POV:

As Kenneth began to check in to his flight, I felt as if my soul was being sucked out of my body. I sobbed harshly as Mat held me tight enough for me to stay put.

I kept fighting and fighting that I was losing my breath. Just like I was losing Kenneth.

"Naomi, please stop." Gabe continued to try and calm me by wiping my tears but it wasn't helping me.

It made me feel worse.

My heart was racing in such a high rate the more Kenneth walked further away from me. It felt as if he tore my heart the farther he walked.

It got harder to breathe and it made me light headed. I eventually fell to my knees as I watched him not even turn back, and walk to the entrance of his plane.

As he disappeared from my sight, I began to lose mine as well.

"Naomi!" Mat tried to hold me up but I had lost all my energy.

"Naomi get up!" Sean shook my face to keep me awake.

My heart was racing so fast that I couldn't even breathe anymore. Then in a matter of seconds, I felt numb.

"Naomi!"

"Naomi!"

"Naomi, please wake up." I hear Kenneth's voice.

"K-kenneth?" My throat was so dry and I could barely move.

"Naomi?!" He whisper yelled. "Ms. De Guzman! She's awake!"

"Oh my god! Anak!" I feel her arms wrap around me tight and I wanted to hug her back, but I couldn't move.

I could barely open my eyes. It took me a while before I could.

"Wh--where am I?" I squinted as I looked at my surroundings.

"You're in the hospital." My mom squeezes my hand.

"What am I doing here?"

"I'll go get the doctor." Kenneth says before I hear him leave the room.

"You were.. you were in a coma, honey."

"What?!" I said as loud as I could, but it hurt me from how dry my throat was.

"You fell asleep on the floor, and Gabe accidentally hit you hard with the door..." I could tell she was trying not to cry.

*Flashback*

I gasped a huge amount of air in as I flew up from my previous position. My heart was racing rapidly as I tried to get my breathing back in balance.

"Naomi! Are you okay?" Gabe holding my head up.

I couldn't reply just yet as I started to feel a sharp pain coming from my ribcage. My breathing was getting heavier every minute and my head was starting to get very heavy.

"Naomi! Keep your eyes open!" Gabe shook my head before he scooped me off the floor and ran out my room.

"Hang on, Naomi. Okay?" He told me as he quickly, yet carefully made his way down stairs.

He then set me on the couch and grabbed our house phone. I could see him dialing a number though my vision was getting very blurry.

"Hello?! 911?!" He asked panicking.

"Please! Send help! My sister she can't breath! She's about to pass out!" I heard him tell or should I say yell at them?

He then gave them our address as he came back to my side and held my hand.

"Be strong, please. Don't close your eyes." Gabe said teary eyed.

"I c-can't." I replied through breaths.

Sirens then began to fill the streets and so did darkness. My eye lids became painfully heavy as the sound of Gabe's voice yelling my name became faint.

*End*

"How long was I in a coma?"

"3 months."
