Don't give up on me

Chapter 6

Today after having breakfast and meds I was reading a book sitting on a bean bag near the window of the hospital room. Suddenly I heard huge chaos outside. I kept the book aside, put on my gloves and mask and went outside to see what happened.

I saw a child of most probably 4 years were taken on a stretcher to the emergency room. Dr Lee was running behind the stretcher. A couple was crying hugging each other. I guess they are the parents of the child. Dr Lee saw me looking confused and came towards me hurriedly.

" Amreen get inside your room. Nothing happened. " Dr Lee told me. That's when it became clear. That child has CF. Dr Lee told me this because when I see incidents like this I somehow break down mentally. After saying Dr Lee rushed to the emergency room. I was looking at the closed door of the emergency room. My mind went blank for few moment.

I looked at the parents and went towards them. They looked at me and broke the hug. I took the lady to sit on a chair. She sat and the guy sat beside her putting his arms around her.

" You are the parents of the kid? " I asked and they nodded.
" What's his name? "

" Fallon." the lady said.

" Do you know what happened to him? " I asked again.

" He has CF. " she said and my eyes became teary.

" When was he diagnosed? "

" Few months ago. " the man said.

" 5 months ago. " the lady added.

" I can only say stay strong and be with him at his every step. He really needs your support. I'm also having CF. I was 12 and I didn't know anything about this disorder. He's just 4 I guess?" I looked at them to answer and they nodded.
" He doesn't even know diseases exist. You have to be his support. When he grows up never tell him do this do that because he has got this disease. Never stop him to do what he wants because he is not allowed to do few things. Until that can risk his life don't stop him. "

" Your parents do the same for you? " she asked. I nodded. The tears were falling down.

" They do keep reminding me about my disabilities. I know how it feels when at everything I want to do everybody keeps reminding me about my disorder. So don't do that with him. He needs to be very strong mentally. " I said.

" Thank you. We'll surely take care of that. " the man said.

" I guess you know this is an inherited disorder. Both of you are the actual carriers which went to him during his birth and he's bearing it. When he grows up he'll feel grounded. He'll also know about his disorder. Most likely he might blame you. Please don't react on that. That's not your fault also. But he has to vent his anger. Let him do that. I know that's hard for you. But trust me living a predictable life knowing that you will die soon is hard. Very....h-hard. " I said and at the last part my voice shaked.

The lady kept her hands on my shoulder and tried to calm me. She suddenly broke into tears. I can't tolerate that. I stood up and bowed to them. Without saying anything I rushed to the lift. The lift was taking time so I took the stairs to go to the rooftop. I rushed as much I can while tears falling down.

When I reached the rooftop I was breathing heavily and coughing. Just on the door I fainted still coughing and grasping for air. The last thing I heard was someone calling my name.

**Taehyung's pov**

I went to the hospital to meet Amreen. I always liked her. Since I got to know her. I never got to talk to her then. I was trying but she never bothered to make new friends. I told jimin to introduce us. But jimin said she didn't want to meet anyone. I understand. She was going through a depressed state. She is still going and that's evident in everything she says. I went abroad to study. I thought I could forget her but I never did. When I met her again on her birthday I got to know I can't forget her. But this time I will try my best to get her. Maybe she needs me.

I was in the lift. The lift opened and I walked to her room. But infront of her room I saw her talking to a couple. I stood their and kept looking at her. She had tears in her eyes. I didn't know what happened suddenly she stood up and rushed to the lift infront of me. She didn't notice me. I went to the couple and asked what happened. They said they don't know. Dr Lee came out of emergency room and they went to talk with her. Without wasting any more time I went behind Amreen. But she was not there. The lift was coming up. So I thought she took the stairs. She won't go out. The only place she can go is rooftop. I also rushed.

I could hear her coughing. When I reached the last stairs I saw her on the ground. She was grasping for air and coughing. I called out her name and ran to her. She fainted. I picked her up with my arms and rushed down the stairs.

I called for Dr Lee. She was talking with the couple. She looked at Amreen and ran up to us. She told me to take her to her room. I did. I laid her on the bed. Dr Lee started the treatment. They removed her oxygen tube and put on oxygen mask. Dr Lee was giving her injections. Their were quite a lot on the tray. I can't see this so I went out of the room.

I sat on the chair outside. My body was shaking. I was continuously shaking my legs being nervous and worried. I kept biting my nails. This is what I do when I'm tensed. I can't calm down until I know she's okay.

Dr Lee came out.

" How's she? Is she okay? What happened? " I asked her.

" Calm down. Where did you find her? " Dr Lee asked me. I told her everything. She looked like she knows why it happened.

" She'll be fine right? " I asked again.

" She will. There's a 4 years old kid that came with emergency today. He has CF. Amreen saw that. She gets panicked in this situations. " she said.

" As in? "

" As in... A 4 years kid doesn't even know he has a life threatening disease. She tends to keep her on such patients shoes. She wants to know what must it feel like. Then she gets hyper and panics. She wants to run away and hide herself such times. " she said. Now I got to know what happened.

" Staying here means she will usually see such patients. This will make her situation worse. " I said. She nodded.

" But if she stays at home and emergency comes then that will be worst. During the time she'll be coming here anything can happen. That's risky. " she said.

" I understand. " I said. Dr Lee left.

I went inside the room and looked at her senseless body. She's beautiful even like this. I want to see her happy. Now I'll make sure she stays happy. I'll bring her out of her panic attacks. I'll bring her smile, her happiness back. I promise you Amreen.
