30.

I was trying my hardest to keep my emotions together because of the fact that we were at Anthony's mothers viewing. I was so angry. All those emotions I felt that night was all coming back. I couldn't even make eye contact with him.

I looked at Keenan and he wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me closer towards him, and I felt Kendall interlock our hands behind her back and she rubbed my hand to stop my shaking.

"Hey, I'm Lani" Lani introduced herself. Bre's smile faded when she made eye contact with me and she hurried up and looked away before we'd just stare at each other. I didn't even look Korey's way.

I'm not sure if I ever even told Cassie and Lani what happened. of course Kendall and Skylar know, but I forgot to tell them. Dammit.

"I'm Cassie" Cassie introduced herself. Anthony was looking at us three confused. "You guys okay? You look like you've seen a ghost or something" he said. "I did" because Korey is dead to me.

I removed myself from Keenan's hold and Kendall's grasp and walked away from them.

"Ti wait" I heard Korey call after me "Don't you go anywhere near her" I heard Keenan stop him. "Guys please, not here. It is not the right time or place" Bre said. "Am I the only one that's confused?" Anthony asked "no you're not alone" Lani said.

I hurried up to the car and just stood there at the drivers door. I felt myself becoming incapable to breathe properly. I think I'm having a panic attack.

Breathe Ti Breathe.

I can't breathe. I felt my vision starting to become blurry and the last thing I remembered was everything going black.

* 2 hours later *

I finally was awake. I looked around the hospital room and my aunt Yasmine and Shawn were talking to the nurse. She turned around and looked at me and noticed that I was up.

"Oh my gosh Tiara" she hurried up to my side of the bed. Her cheeks were tear stained "please don't ever scare me like that again" she breathed "I'm sorry" I mumbled. "It's okay" she brought me into a hug "Keenan explained everything to me, I had no idea Korey did that to you, your mother forgot to mention that to me when she was telling me about you and Keenan" she said. "I think because she knew you were going to hunt him down and probably end up killing him" I told her truthfully.

My aunt Yasmine is a different type of crazy I swear.

"Well .. you're not wrong" she shrugged, "are you okay Ti?" Shawn asked me "yes, I am, I guess I never prepared myself to ever come in contact with him again, let alone see him" I explained.

"He's a dick. I never liked him anyways" she said "you loved Korey" I told her "yeah until I found out what he did to my niece" she started. "I wanna square up with him so bad right now, its taking everything in me not to go two piece that mother". "Yasmine, calm down" Shawn interrupted her.

Yasmine started getting heated and I grabbed her hand "Yasmine, I promise I'm fine" I ensured her. "You're not fine. Stop lying to me. Look where we are, in a damn hospital because you had a panic attack from seeing him. You are not okay" she almost yelled.

"Where are my friends?" I looked over and asked Shawn, "they're all in the waiting room, waiting for us to tell them that you woke up" he told me.

"Can you go get them please?" I asked "of course" he said and left out of the room to go get my friends.

Seconds later they all came running in "Ti! You scared the hell out of us" Lani said. "Why didn't you tell us what happened with Korey? I would not have introduced myself to them" Cassie said.

"Wait up Cass, she just woke up" Kendall said. "I'm okay" I told them.

"Stop lying to us" Lani said, "you had a panic attack and fainted, luckily Keenan was right behind you and caught you before you fainted, or we would've lost you" Kendall told me, "you're not okay Ti, and that is okay" Cassie added.

I sighed. "Where's Anthony?" I asked. "He said he'll come see you at Yasmine's place, he called and checked to make sure you were okay" Kendall explained.

I looked around the room and there was no Keenan either. "Where is Keenan?" I asked them. "He was right behind us?" Cassie said, they all turned around and noticed he wasn't there either.

"Security!!" We heard nurses shouting.

We all looked at each other. Please God don't let it be what I think it is.  Yasmine ran out the door and looked to see what was going on. She sighed "no, no, no" she left out and went to go break up whatever was happening.

Not even seconds later, Shawn was dragging Keenan into the room. I sat up instantly. "Keenan what the? What's going on?" I asked. "Him and Korey were out there throwing hands" Yasmine said "we have to get him out of here before the police comes" Shawn said.

"Go, I'll drive the girls home" Yasmine said.

Keenan didn't say much, he just had a bloody lip and bruised knuckles. I looked at him and he looked at me then walked out in a hurry with Shawn.

"This can't be happening" I cried, "I have to get out of here" I said.

The doctor came back in "can I please be discharged now?" I asked him, "yes you can, we just wanted to run a few more test, and I just have one question for you before we let you go" He said, I sighed "what is it?" I asked. "Have you ever tried looking into a psychologist?" He asked. "She's fine. She doesn't need a psychologist. I swear y'all doctors are so quick to diagnose people" Yasmine answered for me before I could even open my mouth.

"Why are you asking me that? And to answer your question, no I haven't" I told him. "I'm asking because your stress levels were just really through the roof and I was asking if you had looked into one, to help those stress levels go down because things like that can lead to a heart attack, may I ask what's causing your stress levels to be so high to the point where your heart almost gave out?" He said.

"Oh my God" Kendall said, "my heart almost gave out?" I asked them, "yes, that's why you were out for so long, when we hooked you up to the machines, the monitor started going crazy. The only thing that really causes things like that is emotional trauma, have you recently lost someone close to you?" He asked.

My eyes started watering up, "you can say something like that" Yasmine said. "We are going to prescribe you with alprazolam" he said. "You're giving her Xanax?" My aunt asked "yes to keep her calm, she may not notice but constantly going through things that effect you so much can put a lot of stress on the heart. Especially if it's incidents that happen back to back. No normal human being can handle things like that, maybe on the outside they appear fine, but internally your body is going crazy" he explained.

"Ti, has been going through things since August" Lani told them. "You have?" Yasmine asked. "Yeah, but I didn't think all that would cause my heart to almost give out?" I was so lost. "None of us would too be honest, but you have to start listening to your body more. Only you truly know what's wrong with you. If you have any questions please do not be afraid to contact me. Here is your prescription, only take one a day for the next two weeks so your body can return to normal" the doctor explained to me.

"I'll go pick them up for you tomorrow before the funeral" Yasmine told me. I just nodded my head.

"Thank you doctor" I told him, "No problem, you ladies have a good rest of your night" he said and then left the room.

I got off the bed and put my clothes back on, Lani handed me a pair of ugg boots. "Thank goodness, I couldn't do those heels anymore" I told her.

The car ride back to Yasmine's house was a silent one. I think we're all still shocked from the news we just heard. I still couldn't believe it myself.

My heart almost gave out because it literally couldn't take getting hurt anymore.

We got to the house and all the girls left out the car. I looked over at Yasmine "are you gonna tell mom?" I asked her, "this is your health Tiara, you know I have to" she said. I started tearing up "I don't want her to pull me out of school. It's only my freshmen year".

"Are you sure school work won't add onto that stress?"

"I can balance it out, I'll take more time to myself"

"It's not me you have to convince"

I sighed, my mother is the type where if it involves our health, she doesn't care about anything else, she will pull me out of school so quick. I have to convince her that I can do it. I already know to expect a phone call as soon as I wake up in the morning.

We finally went into the house and I went straight upstairs to go check on Keenan.

He was laying in bed, icing his knuckles. "Hey" I said, he looked up at me and got out of bed and brought me into a hug. "I thought I lost you" I heard his voice cracking.

I don't know if I should tell him about what the doctor said because I know Keenan, and he will take the blame for everything.

The last thing I want is for him to go into another dark place again.
