Our Hearts Beat For Anne Fatal Wound
Anne If it were just the sea in sight, it would have been less shocking. I was rooted to the sand when all around my view lay bloodied bodies. I gasped and covered my mouth as huge, electric shivers ran from the tip of my feet straight to the core of my heart where, just like the steam engines of the Titanic, it began grinding against my heart. I couldn’t breathe. It was just like in Umende, but this wasn’t a virus. These people were shot dead. There was blood everywhere. ‘Vincent!’ I gasped, darting my eyes around. I forced myself to keep moving and get to safety, wherever that was, to avoid meeting the same fate as the people laying on the sandy ground. Too late. Right in front of me stood Joshua. He had dumped the jacket he had on earlier and was wearing his white designer’s shirt, which was now ripped and bloody like every dead body here. I stared at his predator-like stance and evil smirk, then wondered if truly it was my end. “Aren’t you the little damsel in distress ever
Our Hearts Beat For Anne Animalistic Shriek
Anne I couldn’t breathe! I couldn’t see properly! It was as if a dead weight was placed on top of me, making it impossible to get air in. ‘What the heck is going on?!’ I inhaled all the air I could gather in my lungs when I felt relief from the heaviness on my body. The light entering my eyes was harsh. I had to squint to see properly. My vision was blurry, but I could make out men in uniform surrounding me and lifting a bag of stone off of me. ‘Was there an explosion?’ I thought, feeling myself being lifted off the floor into a sitting position. I must have passed out from the explosion. “Ma’am, ma’am! Are you alright?” I heard one of the uniformed men ask me. “Yeah, I’m fine. What happened?” I asked, still squinting to see properly. “He knocked you off when he blocked you,” the man said with a glint of pity in his eyes. I creased my brows to understand what he was yapping about. ‘Who knocked who off?’ That was when it hit me. “Vincent…” I started confused, “Vincent! Vi
Our Hearts Beat For Anne Death
Anne There was yelling everywhere. I could also hear the annoying loud shriek of the siren just inches from my ear, making me scrunch up my face in sheer annoyance. “Anny!” I heard someone call out to me. It sounded so much like Pamela, or was Makayla, no...mum! I couldn't tell. ‘Was she in danger?’ I asked myself, trying to reach out my hand to her. But every movement I made came out futile. It was as if something like straps were holding me down. The worst part was, everywhere was freaking dark. ‘Am I still held captive? Did they pluck out my eyes? Was seeing Vincent, Andrew, and the uniformed men all a dream? Am I dead?!’ All these thoughts flew through my head in quick succession, but no answers were forthcoming. I tried again to open my eyes and move my limbs, but nothing. The only part of my body I could access were my ears, which I couldn’t, unfortunately, turn off; and my mind’s eye, which was floating in the abyss of confusion. I tried to scream. I did scream, but the so
Our Hearts Beat For Anne Beautiful Harmony
Andrew No! My brother couldn’t be dead. It was impossible! It wasn’t happening! The heartbeat monitor went on a long beep again. I stared blankly at my mum wailing uncontrollably on the floor of Sawyer memorial. My dad had severally tried to scrub in and join the other surgeons in the theater, but the nurses and the social worker kept him away. “That’s my son in there,” he would croak out, trying hard to contain his emotions. “Sir, we know, but you can’t go in there. Please try to be calm.” They didn’t want to handle him roughly because, well, he’s their boss. They had the theater locked up and blocked the door with their bodies as if he was going to break the door open and enter. When it went on for quite some time, I had to intervene. I moved over to where they were struggling with my dad and grabbed dad by the shoulders. Dad almost jabbed me with the back of his elbow to ward the new intruder off if he hadn’t seen me on time. “Andrew… your brother… he’s in there…” he repor
Our Hearts Beat For Anne I Messed Up
Andrew This was how it felt like for my family when I was the one fighting for my life. It felt like hell... hell I tell you. My mum was a complete mess. She couldn’t eat a thing for almost a week. We could only get her to drink small amounts of beverages and a few bites of her favorite dishes. The rest of the time, she’d sit in Vincent’s hospital room, mopping at him, since he was brought out of the intensive care unit two weeks ago. Vin wasn’t out of danger yet. He was constantly and closely monitored by the doctors and my mum and dad of course. Sometime last week, he had gone into cardiac arrest and was briefly sent into intensive care again. But up until now, he’d been stable. Dad had to work, but being his hospital, he had the advantage of popping in now and then to see us all. Not that he couldn’t take some time off to stay with us, but because he needed a distraction. Cutting and stitching people’s heads gave him that. You could see, from how loosely his tailored suit hung to
Our Hearts Beat For Anne Seeing Vincent
Anne “Vincent!!” I yelled, almost falling off my bed from fright. My mum, sister, Pam, and Joan rushed to me at once. I was confused why they all had smiles and worry at the same time, till I looked around and saw all the hospital room signs. I’d seen myself on the island again, with the armies surrounding me, and Vincent running in slow-mo towards me with the same expressions that led me to turn. In my line of vision stood Fiona who had run out from the trees and had aimed at me, releasing the bullets with a quick, energetic flick of her index finger. I soon saw a body block mine, then a pair of arms wrapped around me before the bullet could reach me. I felt the body jerk towards me as if stunned, then go rigid, while tightening its grip on me. I looked into Vincent’s watery eyes and saw the life, emotions, and color slowly drain from his face as he fell to his knees and then to the floor. It wasn’t the force of his impact that knocked me off, it was the horrible shock of seeing
Our Hearts Beat For Anne Gravid
Anne I stared wild-eyed at my mum as if she pulled off her clothes and started running around naked. “I told the doctor to keep it discreet. I didn’t know how you’d feel about it or what you’d do with the information,” mum said, rubbing her palms together in anxiousness. It was not just about knowing how I’d feel. I knew my mum was disappointed in me. I did the same thing she protected me against. The major reason I was prohibited, banned from getting a boyfriend. “I’m sorry, mum,” I choked out, covering my mouth to suppress my cries. “Shh! It’s okay sweetie,” she said, coming over and wrapping her arms around me. I’d just entered my room after seeing Vincent and had laid on my bed when mum told me she needed to tell me something. Somehow, I knew what she was going to say before she did. I’d felt it that time I was alone in Vincent’s room. Nausea, restlessness, and everything I felt right before that call. I am pregnant. One month pregnant. This meant I was two weeks pregnant
Our Hearts Beat For Anne My Baby
Anne My heart pounded against my chest in excitement as I walked towards Vincent’s room once again, now with high hopes. But deep down I knew that if I wasn’t granted this opportunity, I would have sorted it out myself, maybe in a less practical way, where I’d be escorted out of the hospital by the security. All the same, I knew I wouldn’t leave the hospital without at least having his hand in mine. I couldn’t sleep a wink last night. I was nervous, anxious, and filled with every feeling that’ll keep a 23-year-old pregnant woman awake throughout the night. Dr. Arya told me 7 o’clock, but I was already there by 6:45 am. I was too eager. I’d already brushed my teeth and taken my bath. I took my sister’s makeup stuff and brightened my face. I felt I looked malnourished and horrible with my pale skin and protruding bones, but that’d have to do. I couldn’t possibly grow more skin in a few minutes. I dumped my hospital gown and took one of my sister’s knee length white gowns and slipped
