Chapter 2
That Night
Tiffany's View
My eyes snapped open and I sat upright in bed holding my chest. It was starting
to beat weirdly. Brian moaned and snuggled up next to me. I just looked down
at him frightened. I didn't know if I should wake him up or not.
Didn't I take my medicine? Of course I did! I'm not that stupid to not take
it and plus Brian checked to make sure that I did. So why do I feel so weird?
I then started to breath funny. I don't know what is happening! This has
never happened to me before, only when I have been working out hard. Isn't
the medicine working?
I started to panic. I don't know what to do! I need to wake Brian up. I looked
down quickly and immediately regretted doing that. A wave of dizziness swept
over me. I grabbed my head and held it tight trying to stop the spinning.
I then began to cry.
"Brian," I said weakly. He stirred but didn't wake up.
"Brian," I cried. I was about to pass out. I needed to get to the hospital.
"Please wake up."
Brian's View
I woke up to the sound of someone crying. I opened
my eyes and looked over at Tiffany. She was sitting upright and holding her
head in her hands crying.
"Tiffany? Baby what's wrong?" I asked worriedly sitting
up in bed.
"Help me," she said weakly.
"Oh my gosh, is it your heart?" I asked frightened.
She just cried harder.
"Tiffany look at me!" I said grabbing her face in
my hands and making her look at me in the eyes. She tried to focus on me
but she couldn't. She was going to pass out, I knew it.
Tears stung my eyes as I saw her start to sway. I
don't know what to do!
"Tiffany, look at me honey. Please stay with me,"
I cried. I was trying to prevent her from passing out.
"Help me please," she pleaded quietly. I jumped out
of bed and ran to the phone and picked it up. I dialed 911 and turned back
around to Tiffany. Right before my eyes Tiffany was trying to get out of
the bed holding her head and she fell in a heap onto the floor.
"Tiffany!" I screamed running over to her.
"911, what is your emergency?" I heard a voice from
the other end.
"My wife just passed out!" I yelled frightened. I
turned Tiffany over and found her eyes closed and her chest rising and falling
lightly. I checked her pulse and could barely find it.
"Do you know why she did? Was she drunk? Sir what
happened?"
"I don't know!!! We were asleep and I woke up to her
crying and it's her heart! She just passed out on me!"
"Just stay calm, I'm sending help now. Now has this
happened before?"
"No! If it has I think I would know what to do but
right now my wife is lying on the floor barely breathing and I'm scared out
of my mind!" I cried. I really was scared. What if I was losing Tiffany?
"What heart problem does she have?"
"A long QT Syndrome, she takes medicine but it doesn't
seem to be helping! Where are the ambulances!?" I cried. I was sobbing
uncontrollably. Tiffany looked so lifeless.
"They are on their way, just keep calm sir."
"Keep calm!? How the hell am I supposed to keep calm!
My wife is dying in front of my eyes! Get some fucking ambulances over here
now!" I yelled. I just couldn't talk to this woman anymore so I hung the
phone up.
I gently picked Tiffany up and brought her over to
the bed. I didn't want her being on the floor. She deserves better treatment
than that.
I was crying so hard I could barely see anything.
I prayed and prayed that Tiffany would be alright until the paramedics came
and when they did come I was still praying. Was she going to die? That fact
struck me so hard that I didn't even know what to do with what I was feeling.
If she died I wouldn't know what to do. She's everything to me. She helps
me through everyday and she's makes me so happy. She completes me, she's
my soul mate and if my soul mate dies then more than half of me dies with
her.
