Beep... Beep

I inhaled sharply, feeling like I had just been saved from drowning.

I clutched my chest, attempting to speed up the process until I heard a collective gasp.

I lifted my gaze to see the room filled with people.

I saw my entire family there, broken looks upon their faces.

Those looks quickly changed into shocked expressions.

"OH MY GOD!" Billie screamed, running up to me and hugging me.

She peppered kisses all over my face and placed her small palms on my cheeks.

"You - You - Finally!" She marveled.

I was extremely confused.

What is happening.

"Oh my." A familiar voice added. I looked over to see Faye standing there, almost as shocked as the rest of the room.

"Faye." I mumbled, smiling at her.

Her eyes widened.

"How do you know my name?" She asked skeptically.

"Is it done?" Another person entered the room.

And when we locked eyes I reached my peak of confusion.

"Josh?"

His eyebrows scrunched. He straigtened his uniform, seeming uncomfortable by being called out.

"Ummmm..."

"Baby how do you know these people?" Billie asked, petting my hair lovingly.

"Josh drove me home and Faye tried to make a move on me.. Cici also lost her baby and you got - oh my god you got shot Bil! And - And you died!"

Everyone looked at me like I was crazy.

Billie cleared her throat, deciding to explain.

"Baby you uh - you got hit by a car... Do you remember that? We had just gotten into that fight..."

What?

Wait... no.

Cierra looked at me weirdly.

"Baby? What baby?"

I felt so totally overwhelmed right now.

What they mean to tell me is that everything after the crash never happened?

They felt like full on days which means I must've been out for a while.

Everything was a lie...

I began to hyperventilate.

"What's happening to her!?" My mother yelled.

"She's having an attack. You guys need to leave now!" Faye ordered, ushering the group out quickly.

"Wait I need to stay with her." Billie stood her ground, eyes fixated on me.

Faye nodded before trying to calm me down with breathing excercises.

I could have lied and said they helped...

But it was really Billie.

Knowing she was here with me right now was all I needed.

Even though she had a lot of explaining to do.

Short but explanatory.
