Chapter 10
The ambulance rushes from outside the surf club. The people from inside the van, immediately run towards Andrea.
"What's happened."
One of the men asks.
"Well, she started shaking, and having a hard time to stand. And she was hyperventilating. Then she collapsed, and her breathing is really slow."
Kyle answers, while the men put her on the trolley.
"Can I come?"
The men nod. Kyle exhales
30 minutes later, Kyle waits for more news. He cannot sit still. Andrea's doctor walks out.
"What is it? Will she be okay?"
Kyle asks too quickly.
"She'll be fine. "
Kyle exhales again. Not realising he was holding his breath.
"It was a panic attack."
Kyle has another sigh of relief.
"She'll be okay, right?"
"Yes, considering she suffers from panic disorder, bulimia, and had a close call with anorexia only 6 months ago."
Kyle's jaw drops. Speechless.
"Would you like to see her? She is awake now, and she looks like she could use some company."
Kyle nods, and walks into the room.
"Hey Kyle."
Andrea says. Her voice was croaky.
"Hi."
There is a pause while Kyle sits down next to Andrea.
"I'm sorry. About yelling at you."
"It's fine."
Andrea can see something is wrong.
"What is it? The doctor told you, didn't he?"
Kyle nodded. But eager to change the subject.
"I'll call Casey and see where Ed is."
Andrea says nothing. Kyle calls Casey.
"Hey, where are you?"
"At Angelo's."
Casey replies.
"Where's Ed?"
"The guy you punched? He's gone."
"What?"
"Tamara and I came back into Angelo's and he was gone."
Kyle hangs up.
"Kyle?"
Andrea wants to know what's happening.
"Ed's gone."
"What do you mean?"
"He left the restaurant. We don't know where he is."
Kyle can see real fear in Andrea's eyes.
"Andrea. It'll be okay."
She decides not to argue and just nods. But she can't shake off the feeling that Ed knows she is in Summer Bay.
