The Writer
“It’s Hannah! She’s not moving, I think something’s wrong with her!”
Opening my eyes, I stare up into the gloom and see that David is leaning over the bed. There’s fear in his eyes – pure, unadulterated fear, the kind that can only strike when a parent fears for a child.
“Did you hear me?” he continues, nudging my arm. “You need to wake up, something’s wrong with Hannah! She isn’t breathing!”
“Okay,” I reply, trying to gather my thoughts as I sit up in the dark room. Glancing at the bedside cloc...k, I see that it’s 4:02am. Of course it is. It’s always 4:02am when this happens.
“Beth, we need to do something!”
“I know, I know, I…” Taking a deep breath, I try to stay calm, even though my heart is racing so fast that I feel as if my chest might explode. “Just… wait here. I’ll go.”
“Should I call an ambulance?”
“Yeah,” I reply, grabbing my dressing gown as I stumble to the door. “Sure. Call them.”
As I head out into the corridor, I can hear David already shouting frantically to someone on the phone.MoreLess
