TW (Hospital, Panic Attack) 

(Sofia's POV): It was a morning like any other, or so I thought until I was abruptly awakened by a searing pain in my abdomen, as if a thousand tiny knives were stabbing me from the inside out. Confusion clouded my mind as I struggled to comprehend what was happening. I writhed in agony, clutching my stomach, desperately trying to find relief. In a haze of pain, I reached for the bottle of pain medication on my nightstand, hoping it would provide some solace. With trembling hands, I swallowed a tablet and prayed for the pain to subside. But to my dismay, the medication only seemed to exacerbate the torment, intensifying the stabbing sensation in my gut. Unable to bear the agony any longer, I let out a guttural scream, tears streaming down my face as I lay curled up in bed, feeling utterly helpless. That's when I heard the frantic footsteps approaching my room, and moments later, my boyfriend Matt burst through the door, his expression etched with concern. "Bubba, talk to me; what's wrong?" His voice was laced with worry as he rushed to my side, gently helping me sit up. I winced in pain as I stretched out my arms, trying to alleviate some of the discomfort. "I woke up this morning with the worst, sharp pain in my stomach," I managed to choke out between sobs. "I think we might have to go to the hospital in case it's something bad." Without hesitation, Matt enveloped me in his arms, his touch a soothing balm against the turmoil raging within me. "Whatever it is, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you," he whispered softly, planting a tender kiss on my forehead. "Let's get you to the hospital. Your health and well-being come first." As we arrived at the hospital, I could barely walk, the pain in my abdomen rendering me practically immobile. A compassionate triage nurse immediately ushered me into a wheelchair, her gentle reassurances doing little to ease my distress. With Matt by my side, I felt a fleeting sense of comfort amidst the chaos. Minutes felt like hours as we waited to be seen by a doctor, each passing moment weighed down by the crushing weight of uncertainty. Finally, we were ushered into a private room, where a kind-hearted nurse named Maddie attended to me with utmost care. She listened attentively as I recounted the excruciating ordeal that had unfolded that morning, her eyes brimming with empathy. After a thorough examination, she gently informed us that an ultrasound would be necessary to ascertain the cause of my distress.

With Matt's unwavering support by my side, I braced myself for the impending procedure, clinging to the hope that it would provide much-needed answers. Maddie guided us to the ultrasound room, her reassuring presence a source of solace amidst the mounting anxiety. As Maddie prepared to conduct the ultrasound, she informed Matt that he would have to wait outside the room, a necessary precaution for the procedure. Despite his apprehension, Matt nodded understandingly, his concern etched across his features. With a heavy heart, Matt bid me farewell, promising to await news of my condition with bated breath. As I entered the ultrasound room, Maddie's comforting presence helped alleviate some of the apprehension gnawing at my insides. Minutes stretched into eternity as I lay there, the cool gel on my abdomen serving as a stark reminder of the uncertainty looming overhead. Finally, the ultrasound was complete, and Maddie emerged from the room with a solemn expression. As Maddie delivered the news of my diagnosis, a wave of apprehension washed over me. Appendicitis. The word hung heavy in the air, casting a pall of uncertainty over our already fraught situation. Matt's eyes widened in concern as he processed the gravity of the situation. With a heavy heart, I braced myself for the impending surgery, my mind awash with a whirlwind of emotions. Matt's unwavering support offered a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness, his reassuring presence a beacon of strength in my time of need. The day of the surgery dawned with a mixture of trepidation and resolve. As I lay in the hospital bed, awaiting the inevitable, the anaesthetist, Dr. Porat, approached with a reassuring smile. His calm demeanor helped quell some of the apprehension gnawing at my insides. With trembling hands, I braced myself for the impending procedure, clinging to the hope that it would bring an end to the torment plaguing me. Dr. Porat's gentle reassurances offered a semblance of solace amidst the mounting anxiety, his presence a source of comfort in the face of uncertainty.
