I can’t breathe.

It’s worse than the star-jump.

For several minutes there—or maybe hours or possibly years—I have no idea who I am, where I am, or what I’m doing. It’s like that first dip on a rollercoaster when you’re moving so fast you can’t breathe, can’t scream, fingers clutching the safety harness and hoping like hell that it doesn’t come off.

My body sinks into the mattress, and my heart flits into my throat.

I feel heavy. So goddamn heavy. I feel like my own bones might crush the rest of me, that I might end up as a puddle on the floor. I question if I’m even still alive.

And then I blink once more and everything shifts.

My entire reality shifts.

I’m gasping and struggling to breathe as I’m sat up by a half-dozen helping hands.

“She’s awake!” It’s my mother shouting out for a nurse.

It’s my mother.

I stare at her as I suffocate, hands frozen at my sides as I try to lift them up to claw at my face and throat. There’s a tube shoved into my mouth. Tubes in my arm. My father staring at me with wide eyes while Nate sobs beside him.

How … what?

The tube is removed from my throat, and it feels like I’m able to draw in a breath for the first time in forever.

“I can’t … Eve, you … oh Eve.” My mother’s eyes fill with tears as Jane leans in toward me, face swollen and puffy with tears of her own.

It takes a while for me to realize what’s going on.

I’m awake for the first time in a long time.

And all the fuck I want to do is go back to sleep.
