The story

At a loud freshman welcome party, Juliet Bowen's external pacemaker starts shrieking at ten percent battery. Her backup pack is gone: her boyfriend Hampton Finch gave it to freshman rep Lily Rowe for her opening dance, leaving Juliet only a dying power bank. When she tries to call for help, he calls her dramatic and tosses her emergency alarm into a trash can.

Lily then admits she swapped Juliet's last heart pills for multivitamins, and Hampton forces one into her mouth. As her pacemaker drops to six percent and her heart stutters, the crowd dismisses her as jealous and faking. Lily crouches beside her, digs her nails into Juliet's wrist, and whispers that no one will believe her.

Two years of devotion now leave Juliet fighting for each breath while the boy she loves sides with the girl who took her lifeline.

Opening

The freshman welcome party was loud—music blasting, people screaming over it.

Then the external pacemaker on my chest started shrieking.

10 percent battery.

Cold sweat hit fast. I always carried a backup. Always.

I yanked open my backpack.

No heavy medical battery pack.

Just a flimsy power bank.

One blinking bar.

My brain short-circuited. I grabbed for my phone to call 911, but my boyfriend, Hampton Finch, caught my hand.

"Lily's track player died. I gave her your battery. Just use that power bank."
