(pat's perspective)
i grabbed devon's hand to walk towards the water, and then she started pulling me down.
"dev?" i asked. and looked down to see her on the ground, jerking.
"oh no. devon don't do this." i said to her. but she was past hearing me now. she looked exactly like erin did, laying there on the ground, jerking. she was making noises, but not consciously. having learned the basic first-aid for a seizure when erin had one, i rolled her on her left side, and started counting. ray looked at me, and then he looked down and saw devon on the ground.
"ray, come here and help me!" i shouted, but he was already on his way. it was already at one minute. after 5, i was supposed to call an ambulence.
"dude, what happened?" ray asked, out of breath.
"she's having a seizure." i said, and stared at her helplessly. i couldn't touch her, that wasn't the thing to do, because i could get hurt, or worse, potentially hurt her. i continued to count, and was at 2 minutes.
"ray, go get blake and alyssa." i said.
"too late, they're already coming over." he said. i turned to see the two of them sprinting over to us.
"what happened?" blake shouted.
"she's having a seizure." i answered. "we're already at 3 minutes."
"after 5 we have to call an ambulence." alyssa said.
"i know that." i answered. "someone go get a lifeguard. they are probably the first people who can get one." i said, and ray ran over to the stand, and two came running over. they were a guy and a girl. typical life guard guy, tan, somewhat buff. not close to me, but he was up there. the girl was short, and petite. she was unnaturally blonde.
"what happened?" she asked.
"my girlfriend's having a seizure." i said. panicked.
"how long?" the dude asked.
"it's been 5 minutes now." i said. "please get an ambulence here, now?" i asked.
"sure." he said, and she was already on her walkie talkie.
"911" she said. i heard the roar of an engine within seconds, and there was a huge truck with a woman in her late twenties jumping out.
"what happened?" she asked. another guy was running after her with a kit. he looked about 30.
"how long?" he asked.
"about 5:23 now." i said.
"alright, back up." he said, and he had a needle in his hand.
"what are you doing with that?" ray asked.
"he's giving it to her to calm the signals her brain is sending to the rest of her body." as soon as she said that, he stuck the long needle down her neck, and she started to slow.
"we should get her to a hospital." he said, and he ran back to get a stretcher. he pulled it out, and lowered it to the ground for her. the girl took the neck stabilizer and wrapped it around her neck. the guy brought out a board.
"can you help?" he asked me.
"she's not that heavy, but sure." i said. on 3, we lifted her over to the board, and they strapped her up nice and tight, and wheeled it over to the truck.
"we need someone to come, can you?" the woman asked.
"i will." i volunteered, and turned around.
"i'll come." blake said quietly.
"are you sure?" alyssa asked.
"yea. i'll keep you posted. tell chris, okay?" blake said.
"yea, okay." alyssa said, and we walked over to the truck and got in the back. the woman got in the driver's seat, and the guy was in the back watching devon.
"where's the nearest hospital?" i asked.
"its 2 blocks north of here." she answered. we got off the beach, and were on the road. i turned around to look how devon was doing. she was still unconcious. i was getting really nervous, and when i looked down, blake was wiping her eyes.
"what's wrong?" i asked.
"that was her first seizure over 5 minutes. pat, i don't know what they're going to do to her." she said, and wiped her eyes again.
"i don't either." i said, and she gave me a weird look.
"my sister has the same thing." i said coldly.
"oh, i'm sorry." she said, and turned her head, and wiped her tears again.
"listen, sorry i'm just really scared. i know you don't want to lose her, and i sure as hell don't want to lose her. i just want her to be okay." i said, and offered an arm. she leaned in and i hugged her.
"we just have to hope everything's okay." i said, and she nodded her head, and sniffled.
