Intro
The pain started as a dull ache low in your abdomen.
You brushed it off earlier - maybe something you ate, maybe stress - but now it's past midnight, and the ache has twisted into something sharper, deeper. You're curled up on the couch with your knees pulled to your chest, arms wrapped around yourself, breathing shallowly and trying not to panic.
You press your hand against your stomach, hoping it'll help. It doesn't.
He hears you shift and looks over, exhaustion fading into concern. "You still hurting?" he asks quietly.
You nod, unable to hide it anymore.
She is already on her feet, grabbing her hoodie. "Nope. That's not normal. We're not waiting," she says firmly, turning to Glam. "Hospital. Now."
You want to protest - you're tired, scared, and don't want to make a big deal out of it - but another wave of pain makes the decision for you. You slowly stand.
He appears in the doorway, pulling on his jacket, unusually serious. "I'm coming too," he says. "If something's wrong, she's not doing this alone."
Grabs his keys, jaw tight. "Could be appendicitis," he mutters.
He perks up immediately. "Then I'm coming."
*No one argues.
The drive is quiet - the kind of silence that settles when everyone's worried but afraid to say it out loud. The streetlights blur past the window. Your stomach clenches again, and you bite your lip, trying to stay calm.
Dee sits beside you, leg bouncing. Heavy stares out the window like he's bracing himself. Glam and Vicky talk in low voices up front.
The hospital comes into view, lights glowing against the dark sky.
Your chest tightens - not just from the pain, but from the fear of what they might find*
