Chapter 22- Hospital

I could hear numerous distant and jumbled up voices as my head ached

I could even hear the sound of the blood pumping through my veins and the drumming rhythm of my heart

But where was I?

I slowly opened my eyes, entering a state of consciousness, it was a split of second and I could make out the white surroundings which looked like a hospital before I immediately shut them close again as I could feel a strike of stinging pain in my head it just kept striking repeatedly

Stronger than before every time

Bringing my hands up I held the sides of my head hoping that it would be of any help as my expression crunched in discomfort and pain

"SHE'S AWAKE" I heard a loud masculine yell but I wasn't in the state of processing the situation in my surroundings

All I could feel was the immense pain in my head and hoping that it would somehow go away

"what's wrong? can you hear me? "

"get me the MRI device"

"what's happening to her?"

"we need to move her"

All these distant voices were terrifying, they rang in my head as my anxiety grew

I felt my heart beat accelerating in discomfort and fear

A strong force grabbed my arm and before I could react a stinging sensation ran through my arm spreading through my veins and once again darkness engulfed me

Arron's pov:

"damn it physics" I cursed under my breath while looking at the time table

I didn't do the homework

Today was going exceptionally horrible and i just wanted to go home

Looking around me I decided that it wasn't a bad idea to bunk, I really need it and I haven't done it in a long time

I stepped into the Boys washroom, waiting for the students and the teachers to return back to their classes

After a minute or so I moved around the hallways cautiously and before I took even a few steps my body froze in it's place seeing the scene in front of me

Iris was in the floor, her body limp

Before knowing what I was doing my body instinctively rushed towards her and I could feel my heart beat accelerating in pure fear as I held her up

I almost stopped breathing as I noticed her blue lips and how her body felt ice cold against my hands

With shaky hands and teary eyes I gripped her wrist to check her pulse

My blood froze and I suddenly couldn't feel my heart which was drumming against my chest a few moments ago

Everything went numb, the beeping sound filled my ears as my eyes began to water uncontrollably

"help.. SOMEONE HELP" as if all strength left my body, I couldn't lift her thin frame up. Forcing a few words of help put of my mouth felt like a big achievement as my throat went suddenly dry

"What happened why are you-" Mr Swenson appeared in the distance as his words were cut short, his eyes growing wide with evident fear as he scanned her face

"oh my God, AMBULANCE CALL AN AMBULANCE" his terrified Yell made me snap out of my numb state as I hurried to the nurses office

I could see that he noticed her skin which was slowly turning blue and she pretty much looked like a corpse that died an hour ago by now

I wasn't in control of my body, running around the school with tears pouring out of my eyes wasn't the arron I knew.

As the ambulance arrived I forced myself in with Mr. Swenson, despite his attempts to push me away.

They gave her oxygen, no use

Checking her pulse again and again.. No use

Nothing was working

I closed my eyes as my heart called out and prayed with it's deepest sincerity to God

Something I never thought I was capable of doing, something I haven't ever done

Before I knew her body started jerking uncontrollably, finally seeing the movement of her still body my heart found it's beat back

"THIS ISN'T GOOD HOLD HER" the nurse shouted to the other staff as they held her body in place

What was happening? I didn't know

The next words she said kept repeating in my head as somewhere deep inside me my brain screamed that she won't survive this

"the oxygen is not reaching her brain"

I was no doctor, nor was I good at biology but for all I knew that she could die in the next five minutes if she doesn't get the sufficient amount of oxygen.

It all felt like a nightmare, it was as if my life suddenly turned into the most horrible nightmare

The only person I ever cared. The only one who could kill this monster inside of was right . of me, with her body limp and her lips blue

Dying with every second passing by... And once again all I could do was cry and watch her suffer

In a second all hell broke loose, my world flipped upside down as the nurses shook their head in Disappointment

There she was, the perfect girl with a bright smile and doe eyes. The girl that embraced all my broken parts and gave me all she was... Lifeless right before my very eyes

And all I could do was cry and regret... Like I always have

Once again I've lost something that had made me complete, someone that I could finally love

All the old memories flashed by, tormenting me more. The things I thought I forgot, everything that I've always tried to avoid happened right in front of me and I couldn't help but blame myself

"wake up iris, wake up please"
