Turbulence

Chloe's POV:

Panic filled the room and tried to breathe.
The turbulences became rougher.

"Dear passengers, please remain seated and put on your seatbelt", a lady constantly reapeted through the speakers of the aircraft.

Suddenly an oxygen mask fell from above me. That happened at every seat.
I didn't hesitate to put it on.

After that I noticed the woman next to me struggling to on her mask, so I decided to help her.

"Let me give you a hand", I mumbled nervously and helped.

"Th...thank you", she sighed while sweat was dripping down her forehead.

I looked out of the window and thought about Beca. I thought about her lying in bed waiting for me with her hair up in a messy bun wearing my favorite sweater. I felt scared and unsure about what was going to happen next. I just wanted to be home. I wasn't ready to die on this flight.

"Is there a doctor on board?! Please we need help. Is there a doctor anywhere?!", I heard someone screaming, waking me from my thoughts.

I wanted to jump up and help but my body didn't allow me to. It was shaking and my heart was pounding rapidly. I tried to calm myself down.

"We need help!", I heard the man shout a second time.

That's where I put away my fear, removed my oxygen mask and climbed over the two people sitting in my row. Carefully but fast I made my way through the narrow aisle from the back of the plane to were the screams were coming from. I saw a man lying on the floor unconsciously and one kneeling next to him.

"I'm a doctor", I announced when I reached the place.

"Thank god. This is my dad. You have to help him!", the young man, about 20, ordered desperately. He was close to hyperventilating.

"Okay, calm down. Keep breathing. What's your name?", I wanted to know from him while checking the pulse of the older unconscious person.

"My..my name is Michael", he exhaled.

"Alright, Michael. I'm Chloe", I introduced myself.

I took his hand and put him on his feet. He sat down in his seat and I attempted putting on his oxygen mask. He fought it.

"What about my dad, what about him. I can't just sit here and do nothing. I gotta help", he cried.

"Listen, you are shocked. You are almost hyperventilating. I don't want you to become unconscious as well. So I need you to sit here and breathe through this mask and let me do my work okay?", I requested and he finally gave in.

"What's your dad's name?", I questioned and kneeled down next to the man.

"Bryan", the boy murmured.

"Bryan, I'm Chloe. Can you hear me?", I tried talking to him. No reaction.

I didn't have the necessary medical tools so I needed to help myself. The boy was busy breathing, which was good, so I decided to ask the people around what has happened.

"I need you to explain to me exactly what happened. Every little detail. I can't examine this man because we're not in a hospital so it has to work this way", I exclaimed and waited for someone to talk to me.

The plane made a sudden rough turn to the right and I fell back hitting my head on the ground. "Shit", I cursed and squeezed my eyes.

I got myself up and crawled back to the patient.

"He was sitting there next to his son. They were talking and then the older man put both his hands on his legs and he began shaking. He fell to the ground and continued shaking for about a minute until he lost consciousness", a girl explained unexpectedly but clearly.

"Did he say anything specific before he started shaking", I asked and the girl shook her head: "No, I don't think so."

"Thanks, honey", I said to her and smiled.

"Michael?", I got the son's attention, "does your dad take any medication or does he suffer from any illnesses. I need you to tell me the truth, otherwise I won't be able to do the right thing."

"He...he...", Michael started when the plane dropped, at least two seconds, straight down before it caught itself again. My face became pale and I felt the need to throw up but I swallowed it down. My heart beat in my toes and my chest tightened. I took a deep breath.

"What did you want to say", I faced the boy again.

"He's...an alcoholic", the young man stated and I saw the tears building in his eyes...

Putting up with some doctor stuff again. Hope it's alright :)
Let me know what you think!
