Mr. Ballin

And so she actually just climbed into the empty bathtub and just figured the cold tile of the tub would feel good against her hot skin.

But as soon as she climbed in and laid down, she felt her breath start to catch in her chest.

From the living room, Charlie heard Dawn in the bathroom and he heard the sound of the water turning on and then off and then the sound of Dawn rustling around in there.

Now he was somewhat worried about her, but he also knew she regularly had hangovers and she clearly had one now.

And so he figured, you know, that's what this was.

He also really wanted to leave right now and go meet up with his friend Sam to shoot up some more heroin because that would take the edge off his headache and his nausea.

However, before he could do that,

he heard a weird sound coming out of the bathroom where Don was.

At first, he wasn't even sure what it was, but then he realized it was a gurgling sound.

And so at this point, he jumped to his feet and he hurried to the bathroom door.

And as soon as he opened it, he gasped because Don was laying there in the empty bathtub, fully clothed and frothing at the mouth.

Charlie had no idea what was happening, but he instinctively ran over to her, pulled her out of the tub, and he laid her on the floor, and he could tell that she was basically unconscious and she was limp.

And in fact, when he listened closely to her mouth, he couldn't even tell if she was breathing.

And so Charlie's thinking, this is not a hangover.

This is something way more serious.

So he ran and got a phone and he called the emergency line.

And when the dispatcher picked up, Charlie frantically explained what was going on.

That, you know, Don, his girlfriend, had just collapsed in the bathtub out of nowhere.

The operator got his address and said they would send a paramedic.

But they also told Charlie he would have to do CPR on Don while he waited.
