I wrote this chapter once I had some free time hope you all enjoy it and happy Valentine's Day ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️. I also made some changes in the age of the characters seeing that something wouldn't add up.
Sky's point of view
I was looking at the clock that laid next to my bed, it red one hour passed midnight. I was sitting on my bed with my legs crossed, my eyes were begging me for sleep. I could barely keep my head straight. Xavier was standing in the corner of the room, while Vincent was sitting in front of her.
"Do you know what happened?" Vincent asked with a gentle voice.
My eyebrows arched, I was trying to get my brain to function enough to at least understand the question.
" I don't know. " I said.
" it's a yes or no question. " Xavier said in his usual deep and calm voice.
" no, not really"
When did he get here?
" where you conscious the past few minutes?" Vincent asked.
" no. Can I please go to sleep?" I asked in a tiered and sleepy voice.
" Sky, you had a seizure. It lasted for few minutes. Do you know how dangerous this is?" Vincent said gently in a calm voice.
" yes"
" I understand that you may feel a bit tired because of the seizure, but I am going to need to ask you few questions, and then once you get some rest tonight we can do some test, alright?"
" alright" I said.
I really hoped this wouldn't take to long. I am to tired to do anything. I don't think I can lift my arm even in I want to. I was barely able to keep my balance while sitting.
" do you know what a seizure is?"
" yes"
" what is a seizure?"
" it's when the electrical signal in your brain becomes unstable. "
" good. So you are aware of seizures. Was it the first time you had a seizure?"
" no "
" do you know how many seizures did you have had so far?"
" not exactly." I pointed at the right drawer of my desk. " there is a small black notebook. " I said not having enough energy to explain right now. It already took a lot of me to just move my arm.
Vincent stood of the bed and made his way to my desk and pulled out the notebook from the drawer. He then made his way back to the bed and gave me the notebook.
I opened this notebook and grabbed the part of the papers that is in front of my blue divider. "I wrote the time and the date of everything minor seizure I had in the past three years" then I held up the papers that was behind the blue divider " these are the ones that ....... That ....aren't so minor. " I handed Vincent the notebook.
" I heard that this would be useful." I said.
" it is. So, did your epilepsy start three years ago or before that?"
" I don't know. I had it ever since I can remember. When I first went to the orphanage at five." I said.
" do you know what may trigger your seizure?"
" stress, not sleeping enough, sleeping for longer that usually, though it would depend if I slept nine or ten hours instead of eight hours then I would get a seizure but if I slept twelve hours it would be fine. Basically,change in my bed time. Maybe change in environment or routine. That is why I need to be organized. " I said.
" Is that all that may trigger you?"
"All that I know of."
"do you have seizures when are very tired, or at particular times of the month?"
" most of the time it's when I am tried, even when I would have slept well. I would just start feeling tired and would barely be able to keep my head up, when this happens then I know it because of a seizure. It's wither that of I feel this type of aura in my chest." I said.
My brows contracted from pain when a migraine came at full force. My guard is usually down when I am tired. I can't hide my pain of emotion.
" are you okay?" Asked Vincent.
" yeah, probably just a migraine."
" I will go get you something for it. Do I need to know anything else before I go?"
I just shook my head, to tired to talk.
" why didn't you tell us you had epilepsy?" This time Xavier spoke.
" I don't tell anyone about it."
"and why is that?"
I started tell him the story as to why I don't tell anyone, without thinking about the consequences. Vincent was still standing in my room, wanting to know the answer.
" when I first in rolled in the first school back home. My first stepparent told the teacher about my condition because they were worried that I may have a seizure in class. When they informed him about my condition he started yelling saying that he doesn't want someone like me in his class and then I got kicked out of the school. Ever since I haven't told anyone except just few people. " I explained.
" Sky, before I go, can you tell me if you took meds for your epilepsy?"
" it's in my pack bag, next to my closet" I said.
Third point of view.
Xavier and Vincent walked out of Sky's room and in to the long hallway. " she was sick from before she was five." Xavier said.
" how do you know that?" Vincent asked.
" remember when we were younger. Mother and father would sometimes rush to the hospital with Sky in the middle of the night. They would always try to keep it a secret, they never told anyone. They knew it would put Sky in danger if words got out"
