chapter twenty five - desperate

LEILA

The past months has been great. I really think Greyson is the one for me. I really hope so.

My birthday's also coming up and I couldn't be more happy. Well, until now. Greyson and Mila are spending the day together. Like a sibling thing, I think they deserve a day together.

Luca, Brooks, Silas and Jacob are out with the motorcycles. Lili and Haven are in France, visiting Lili's father.

Hudson is in his room, just doing something. He's always in his room. I think it has a lot to do with work.

So I've been alone in my room the entire day, feeling a little sick. My anxiety has been building up and I don't know why. I mean, I'm not stressed about anything in the moment.

I just feel this heavy weight on my chest, making it difficult to breathe properly.

I stand up from my bed, immediately feeling dizzy from the sudden movement. I place my hand on my forehead, feeling my temperature.

I think I'm warm. Or cold. I don't really know.

What's happening? Why am I not seeing anything? There's black spots everywhere. I can't even think straight right now.

What do I need?

Help me, what do I need?

I stumble over to my bed again, thinking I'm going to take a seat on it but I miss it horribly and land on the floor, hitting my back against the bed frame instead.

I'm too focused on my breathing to even feel my pain.

Greyson. I need Greyson.

I lift my arm, up on my nightstand. I tap a few places before my hand lands on my phone, immediately picking it up. Thank god, I have face ID.

By miracle, I can dial Greyson's number. There's a few signals before I hear his voice.

"Hi, love. We're eating right now, can I-" He stops mid-sentence, hearing my heavy breathing, "What's wrong?"

"I- I.. I can't breathe." I choke out, the lump in my throat growing bigger and bigger, second by second.

Fuck, I'm gonna breakdown.

"Hold on, baby. We're leaving right now." He says, hearing him stand up from his bed. I hear Mila's voice, too. I don't know what she's saying but she's sounding worried.

I don't know though.

I start choking on my own breaths, my breathing becoming more uneven. Am I gonna die?

I hope not.

Greyson's said I have a lot to achieve and experience and I would like that to be true.

Man, please. Don't die, Leila.

Okay, not the time for jokes.

I feel my body weaken every minute that goes by, my arms slowly falling to the ground.

"Leila? Can you hear me, my love?" Greyson's voice pierce through my head, I can hear my own heartbeats. Greyson's voice is so far away, yet so close.

"Stay with me, baby. Stay with me." Greyson says before my vision starts to blacken.

I'm terrified.

I'm panicking.

What's happening?

The darkness take over my body and my head falls back, hitting my head.
