Prologue

"Miss? Miss, can you hear me?"

A bright light flashed from my left eye to my right eye and back again. I blinked at it, stunned. Sirens rang loudly near me. I was gasping for air that seemed to disappear through a hole in my chest.

"Sweetheart, can you tell us your name?"

"Doctor, she needs an O.R. quickly."

"Then book one."

"They're all full."

"Then bump someone! The girl's bleeding out for Heaven's sake!"

The gurney I was on shook from moving so fast and my wounds seemed to be splitting apart with every jerk. I groaned, tears still streaming down my face. I was terrified.

I don't want this.

"Miss, can you tell us your name?"

"M-Marlene," I coughed out. Pain shot threw me from the movement the cough sent through me. Blood started to drip out of my mouth. A dizziness washed over me and my eyes rolled back in my head for a second.

"Sir, her pressure's dropping."

"Marlene, can you tell me what happened?" the doctor said loudly as we moved quickly through the hospital hallways. My head was spinning as I opened my mouth to answer. Only a groan escaped my throat.

Why did I let them hurt me? I should have listened to her.

"We need to get her into the O.R. now, Doctor," someone said frantically. I felt cold and breathing became severely harder. I was gaping as I watched the white ceiling become darker.

"Can't you see I'm going as fast as I can!"

"Marlene, you need to tell us what exactly happened."

"Paul. I need Paul."

"Paul who, sweetheart?"

I coughed again as a beeping noise became frantic. It sent panic through my body, but I couldn't move. I got colder and the pain started to disappear. Which terrified me to no end.

I want to live.

"We're losing her!"
The gurney finally halted, but vision was completely black. I blinked a few times, seeing nothing. My ears started ringing and my body became numb.

"C-Can't see," I stuttered out. My heavy breathing got even heavier from panic.

"Shit, someone page the neurologist."

I heard something roll into the room I was in. Nurses and doctors moved frantically, yelling stats and orders. Something was hooked onto my nose and a needle was slid into my arm. The pain was gone now, but I couldn't move a limb. It was as if I was frozen.

I decided if I was going to die, there was no reason to keep my secret from the authorities. Having told never told anyone voluntarily, I was completely nervous and terrified of the outcome and reaction of the doctors around me. I gulped in a big breath of air.

"I did-"

A piercing ring sounded throughout the room and I blacked out.

It wasn't supposed to end this way.

A/N: I'm back! And under a new name! I used to be KayliLynzee118, if anyone remembers. But now I have reinvented myself. I have kept all my old gross stories if you want to go back and read them (I don't recommend it). This story is from Quotev and I'm pretty proud of it. So this will be the first of my rebrand. Enjoy!
