Autophobia

"Peaches?" I whisper.

"Yeah Bunny?"

"Please be honest with me." I say. "Am I gonna die?"

"I don't know Jordyn." Kelley says as she climbs the stairs. "The doctor said these next few days are gonna be tough for you."

"Tougher than the past three weeks?"

"Apparently." Kelley says as she gets to the second floor of our home.

"This is gonna suck." I say as I'm carried to our bedroom.

"It might." Kelley says as we enter our bedroom.

Once in our bedroom, Kelley carries me to our bed, sets me down on the bed, then she helps me out of my clothes.

"Do you wanna sleep nude or do you wanna wear my clothes?"

"Your clothes please." I say then Kelley kisses my head.

Kelley heads into our closet, grabs some clothes, then she comes back and helps me into her old Stanford sweatshirt and a pair of her shorts. After I'm clothed, I get under the covers then Kelley leans against the headboard so I cuddle into her leg.

"Get some sleep Bunny." Kelley says as she hands me Shadow.

"Love you." I say as I shut my eyes while cuddling with Kelley's leg and my plush black lab.

"I love you too Babygirl." Kelley says then I try to get some sleep

Kelley's POV

"Right now she's fine." I say into the phone as I run my fingers through my girlfriend's hair.

"How bad is she Kelley?" Tobin asks.

"She's very weak." I say. "The doctors don't know how long she'll last."

"Fuck." Tobin yells.

"Yeah." I say

"How are you doing Kelley?" Christen asks.

"I'm a terrified I'm gonna lose my girlfriend." I admit then I feel the Jordyn's breathing on my leg stop. "Hold on."

I wait a few second, but Jordyn doesn't start breathing.

"Call 911." I say.

"What's wrong?" Tobin asks as I roll Jordyn onto her back.

"Jordyn's stopped breathing." I say as I start doing chest compressions.

"They're on the way." Tobin says.

"Don't. Forget. To. Tell. Them. She. Has. Coronavirus." I say after each compression

"We're coming over." Christen says then the phone hangs up.

I continue doing chest compressions until I hear Tobin's voice.

"KELLEY WHERE ARE YOU." Tobin shouts.

We gave them a key to our house and they gave us a key to their house.

"BEDROOM." I shout as I hear siren's approaching

Some amount of time later I hear a shit ton of people running up the stairs.

"Ma'am you need to move." An EMT says so I get off my girlfriend.

"What happened?" Another EMT asks.

"Jordyn has the Flu and recently tested positive for Coronavirus." I say. "She was napping while I was on the phone and I noticed her breathing stop while I was on the phone then I started doing chest compressions."

"We have to Move." One of the EMT's says as they load Jordyn onto the stretcher. "Like now."

"Tobin Lock up the house." I say as I gather my phone and wallet.

After I have my stuff I follow the EMT's out to the Ambulance, get in the back with Jordyn, then sit there and let one of the EMT's do their thing while we head to the hospital. Once at the hospital Jordyn is rushed out of the Ambulance and into the ER.

I try to follow my girlfriend, but I get stopped by a nurse.

"You can't be here." The nurse says.

"Respectfully Ma'am, I don't give a damn about your rules." I say. "My girlfriend could be dying and the only way you're getting me away from her is with the help of the police. So if you'd be so kind to move your ass that'd be great."

The nurse and I get into a heated argument which lasts for a while until someone breaks us up.

"Let her through Amy." The man in a white lab coat says.

The nurse let's me by so I walk over to the man in the lab coat who I now know is a doctor.

"Ms. O'Hara?"

"Yes?" I say then the doctor sighs

"I'm so sorry." The doctor says. "There's nothing we could do for her."

"Kelley?" I hear the unmistakable voice of Tobin ask behind me. "Kelley where's Jordyn?"

"She's gone."
