W/N Here's another little chapter. I can't believe how often I update now a days but we are nearing the end...

*The Next Day*

(Jay's POV)

        I sit in my bare, white room, my head in between my leg and stump, contemplating the news. Epilepsy. To add on to everything else, Nathan has epilepsy. And I really thought today would be my first good day in weeks.

        I had just finished a successful rehab session when I went to visit Nath. Okay, my session consisted of me wheeling myself to Nathan's room. He started talking, he even wanted me to sing, and so I did. I never realized that he would shut down like that. They said it was an aneurysm and that he would be fine. They said that after my freak out.

        "James, it's all your fault! If it weren't for you, Nathan would be just fine." Someone said. I don't quite know who this guy is but he refuses to let it go.

        "I'm sorry, it wasn't my fault. I promise." I croak, my voice sore from screaming for an hour.

        "Yes it was! If it weren't for you pushing Nathan that far he would be making steady progress." The voice argues.

        "I didn't mean it!" I sob, my voice barely their.

        "That's what all the murderers say." He counters.

        "Just stop!" I cry, going into a panic attack.

        "James? James, you need to calm down. You didn't do anything wrong, I promise." My nurse, Psalms, cooes.

        "I told you I didn't hurt him." I scream at the man saying I'd intentionally hurt Nath.

        "Jay? Do you feel a bit sleepy?" Psalms asks. What an odd question, I haven't slept in days.

        "No, why?" I ask as a yawn creeps up on me.

        "Did you lie to me! Shame, only sleepy boys yawn!" She scolds in a sweet, motherly way. I apologize for lying and go to bed. Maybe, if sleep, that crazy man will leave me alone.

W/N Guess what? It gets better! In like two chapters!
