Yesterday evening I was hanging out with friends, and my best guy friend started complaining of sharp chest pains. That instantly sparked my attention because I had a friend in high school who passed away from a heart aneurysm, which could have been prevented had his chest pains not been ignored. So, the evening went on and his pains worsened and up until I dropped him off at home I begged to take him to the hospital. However, boys being boys, he was too stubborn to let me take him. He said he didn't feel like waiting in line, which is ridiculous when you could potentilly be having heart problems.
This morning roles around and I had a sorority workshop early and didn't really think about how he was doing. As the day goes on, around 1:00 I get a call from my girlfriend asking if I had talked to him because she was having problems getting a hold of him all day. I start calling him and no answer. I call his best friend and found out he hadn't spoken to him either. At this point I've started to panic (probably faster than I should have) and started to think the worst. For about 3 hours my girlfriend and I were very upset and panic stricken because we were thinking the worst. It isn't like him to go all day without talking to one of us and he doesn't sleep all day either. Finally, someone drove to his apartment and his truck was gone which was good news, however, for some reason the worry was still there. Eventually, he called me and I was so relieved. For hours I could hardly think of anything else, it felt like the world had kind of just stopped!! I've lost close friends before and all I could do was pray it wasn't happening to me again!
