Her eyes caught the bottle of wine Noah had brought yesterday, and it made her smile. She reached for her phone to call him. Then she saw them: seven missed calls from an unknown number. A cold knot of worry formed in her stomach. Did something bad happen? Was it her boyfriend? Was it her parents? She called the number back.

They both walked in silence behind Doctor Jones as he led them to his office. "Please sit" Doctor Jones requested. Tammy and Aunt Kathy pulled the chairs and sat quietly. "Miss T...uhm..." Doctor Jones stuttered "Tammy, my name is Tammy and this is my aunt Kathy" she cut in. "Miss Tammy, your dad has been suffering from a severe heart condition called coronary artery disease. It means that he has been suffering from a blocked artery that reduced the flow of blood, that was what triggered his heart attack". Doctor Jones explained.

"Timothy, calm down." "I can't calm down. I just saw Henry a few days ago. Although he looked a little tired, he was fine. How can he leave just like that?" Timothy cried in despair as he spoke. This was Danielle's first time seeing Timothy crying so uncontrollably. The doctor said hesitantly, "Mr. Henry had a heart attack, which led to a cardiac arrest. There were barely any signs of life when he was brought here." Willow raised her hand and slapped herself twice.

My eyes engulfed into the darkness as my body jerked with each shock. ************

’ Heart thought. “Why are you making my heart beat like this, huh?!” Cullen screamed angrily as he grabbed Heart’s hand and put it on his chest.

I moved closer to the stage to take a peek, but I flinched again when I heard a grunt of frustration and heavy footsteps walking away. I covered my mouth and ran outside the hall in a hurry. God, did he hear me? Was I disturbing him? Is he the type to get annoyed when someone is observing them when they’re practicing? Damn, it wasn’t even intentional that I heard him play. It just so happens that I was in the hall!

she rolled her eyes. Why did my heart stop beating? "There he is. Hey babe, come over here. Look who I found" She waved to someone behind me. Shit.

Looking around, others walked by normally, which meant I was the only one who could hear it. “Warning, heart level dropping. Bordermark breached.” Buis’ voice echoed loudly, a large warning sign on the screen but I kept going, thinking it was trying to stop me.
