Summer Sky | L.T.

Shit! Why wasn’t anyone helping him. He was choking in his own vomit for crying out loud. “Louis? Can you hear me?” I was trying to find his pulse but couldn’t find one. “WHY ARE YOU GUYS NOT HELPING HIM!!?” I yelled at the people around the bonfire but that’s when it hit me, they were all to high to do something. I needed to get his pulse back before I started the cpr I grabbed someone by the arm “CALL THE EMERGENCY LINE NOW!! I yelled at him. He was actually listening, I heard him say the place we were and that’s when I began to start cpr. Never in a million year did I picture myself in a situation like this. I mean giving someone mouth to mouth while there was still vomit on his mouth. I was completely grossed out but I pushed it to the back of my thoughts and focussed on making Louis breath again.

I pumped his lungs for a good while, whilst giving him mouth to mouth and at a certain point he began coughing and I never felt more relieved I immediately put two finger on his neck to check how strong his pulse was and to my surprise it was quite strong. Around this time I heard sirens blasting through the silence and I just collapsed. I had put Louis back on his side so he wouldn’t choke again and I kept my two fingers pressed at his neck just to make sure his pulse wouldn’t slip away again.

“Miss are you all right?” one of the paramedics asked me and I nodded whilst getting up. “His heart stopped but I performed CPR, his pulse is back up again.” I informed them. “Do you know what he took?” I know he meant drugs but I didn’t really know what he took. “No I had just arrived and noticed him lying unconsciously. I just know I had to help him.” I stated. “You probably saved his life, thank you, would you like to come?” he asked me before lifting Louis into the Ambulance. “Uhm, yeah why not.” I grabbed Louis hand and squeezed it softly “Now you owe me even more” I whispered next to his ear, making sure he was the only one who could’ve heard me. “Shut up.” He croaked back, this made me smile because that must mean he was feeling slightly better. I wanted to pull my hand out of his but he tightened his grip a little, as he didn’t have much strength I kept my hand in his.

As soon as we arrived at the hospital they took him to the ER, I wasn’t allowed there though as I wasn’t family. I decided to call my aunt to tell her what happened and if she wanted to notify his father. “Sky, where are you?” she said worried. “I’m at the hospital Marie but I’m completely fine, it’s Louis who is in trouble.” That when I quickly told her everything she needed to know. “I will immediately tell Jean, We will be there as fast as possible.” We got off the phone and I waited for some news. Nobody came, which annoyed the hell out of me. I got up to get some coffee, when I saw his dad enter and he looked pissed.

“SKY!” I almost ran the other way. “WHERE IS MY SON?!” He yelled at me, I was shocked that she was yelling at me. “The doctor is with him in ER” I was shaking like crazy because he scared the crap out of me. “WHAT HAPPENED!?” he had put his hands on my shoulders and shook me roughly.

“Would you stop yelling please, I think he had an overdose.” I explained. I almost regret telling him this because he narrowed his eyes at me. I was already making myself as small as possible, just in case he would lash out. “Are you saying that my son is a junkie?” he was really scary right now, I much rather have him yell at me. “No I’m not saying that sir but I did say he had an overdose.” He was actually squeezing my shoulders really hard and I know it would leave bruises. “Mademoiselle Sky?” I turned to see the doctor approaching us. Mr Tomlinson lifted his hands from my shoulders and I was grateful for that.

“How is he?” I immediately asked even if it wasn’t my place. “Thanks to you, he is going to be perfectly fine, sir you should be proud of Sky because she saved your sons life.” I kept my eyes firmly at the ground when I felt his hand back on my shoulder but this time it was to pat me. I lifted my eyes to his and he was really smiling at me. “I’m sorry Sky.” I nodded “It’s alright sir. Doctor can we see him?” I asked but he immediately looked sad. “I’m sorry Sky but he only wanted to see his father.” Of course, why did I think he suddenly liked me even if I saved his life. “Oh.. okay then I’m going home. Mr Tomlinson will you please…” he interrupted me by nodding. “Of course I will Sky, thank you for everything.” He followed the doctor and I just kept staring after them. How could he treat me like that, why wouldn’t he want to see him, I saved him after all. Come to think of it, I really needed a shower and I needed to brush my teeth for at least 10 minutes.

I walked home, when I got a call. “Sky?” it was my dad, boy was I happy to talk to him. “Hi Dad, why are you calling?” It was silent at the other end of the line for a few seconds. “I know what happened.” It was like my heart stopped beating. I had to sit down. “What do you mean?” I asked as calm as possible, which was really hard as I was on the verge of having a panic attack. “Did Mike cheat on you with Lindsey?” Praise the lord, he still didn’t know. “Yes, they did, right in front of my nose dad.” I softly said through the phone. “Was it on that day that you were painting your room?”

“Yes it was but dad I love you and all but can we just not talk about it?”
“Of course, I’m sorry for bringing it up.”

“It’s okay dad, I just don’t want to think about them. It still hurts a bit.” I explained quickly. I hate lying to him but I really didn’t see another option. “I don’t want to get rid of you dad but I’m really tired is it okay if I call you tomorrow?”

“Of course, good night sweetheart.”
“Good night daddy.”
