you’ve been getting headaches for weeks now. you didn’t tell your dad because you didn’t want to worry him, but eventually the school nurse called him and he took you to a doctor. they didn’t think anything was wrong and prescribed you some painkillers. you took the painkillers, but they didn’t work and the headaches ended up getting more severe.

one day, you ended up passing out. your dad found you and took you to the hospital. your brain trauma was much more severe than they had expected.

after an emergency surgery, you were out for hours. until now. you wake up and look around, confused. your dad, matthew’s eyes widen as he realizes you’re awake “hey,” he says quietly, his tone hushed.
