Ima just get right into the story but thanks for reading!
Woods has been nervous to tell Mathias and tanner about his epilepsy for a while. He's had epilepsy since he was a baby and he had a grand mal seizure and Christmas. It was more common for him to have a sense seizures which he has all the time but it just looks like he's zoning out to of course Tanner and Mathias just assume he zones out a lot. He knows needs to tell them in case he has a grand mal seizure which is the whole fall the floor and flail. Luckily he hasn't had one around them yet but its bound to happed, so today is the day he's decided to tell them. He's planning on telling them after the shoot they have at 3:00pm today.
-Time skip to after they are done shooting the dope or nope episode-
"Thanks for watching and we'll see you in the next episode!" Tanner end the video. "I love the fact your still shearing the crop top from the last 3 videos" Mathias says to tanner laughing, they all start laughing besides woods. Anxiety is taking over woods thoughts right now but he knows he has to tell them. "Guys..." woods says trying to get their attention but they keep laughing. "Guys?" Woods asks again. finally he gets Mathias's attention. Mathias looks over and see's the nervousness on woods face and immediately calms down. "You okay?" Mathias asks. tanner looks over at woods to also seeing the anxiety on his face. "Yeah im fine but I need to tell you both something." Woods says voice shaking slightly. "Are you leaving???" Tanner interrupts but he has to know. "No No no sorry I didn't mean to worry you im not leaving." Wood responds. "Thank god" both Mathias and tanner says. "But umm anyways so there's no need to worry or anything I can explain what to do in case it happens but umm..." woods clears his throat and continues. "I have epilepsy I have since I was a baby and I'm sorry Matt I know i should've told you when i first joined Hi-Five studios, but i was nervous that everyone what treat me differently or think of me as less capable..." he finishes. "Im glad you told me thank you, and no one will think any less of you kid, I sure dont." Mathias responds. "Yeah but the one thing i have to ask is should we be prepared for anything?" Tanner asks. "Yeah umm actually I've luckily never had a grand mal seizure here. -oh grand mal is the one where the person goes all twitchy on the ground." He cuts himself off but continues. "But i have had absence seizures here, i do a lot actually." Woods says the last bit a little quieter. "What are absence seizures?" Tanner asks. " Absence seizures basically looks like the person is zoned out. Except the person isn't actually lucid and cant see,feel,hear,or notice anything around them and they tend to be on the shorter side." "Ok makes sense is there anything we can do?" Mathias asks. "For absence seizures, not really just have to wait them out, but for grand mal seizures I need someone to time it if its longer then 5 minutes someone needs to call an ambulance. If someone could put something under my head and put my on my side and away from anything that could harm me that would be great." "Ok, again thank you for telling us kid." Mathias says knowing it must've been hard for woods to share. "Thanks for listening I know its a weird topic." Woods adds on. "Dont worry about it dude, just do what you need to do to stay safe ok?" Tanner says. "Ok thanks" woods says and the end that conversation.

-Woods has a grand-mal seizure-
They were going to shoot a dope or nope video on different items for a gaming setup but they couldn't get the lights to work right. "I think it says there's supposed to be different types of settings on these lights." Tanner says standing on a latter fumbling with the control panel attached to the ceiling. "Yeah but the problem is it doesn't say how to change it...God who made these instructions?" Mathias responds turning the directions upside down in emphasis. "Hey kid you having any luck finding better directions online i mean i guess besides the fact any directions would be better then this crap" Mathias asked frustrated but composed like usual. "Kind of, tanner try turning the gree-no yellow mob to the right till it clicks." Woods corrects himself. Tanner turns the yellow mob to the right but it didn't click. "No that didn't work no click" tanner calls down. "Not surprised"  Mathias says just generally frustrated. "Ok then try the green mob to the right" woods says. Tanner turns the green nob like woods says but then suddenly the lights go out. "What the" tanner says surprised. "Great now we can see,  umm try turning the green to the left?" Woods says hoping to get at least the lights back on. "Tanner please be careful on that ladder." Mathias says not wanting tanner to loose his footing and fall off the ladder in the dark. Tanner turns the nob to left but the lights don't go on instead very fast strobe lights do. "That didn't do it" Mathias says shielding his eyes. "Sorry." Tanner says fumbling with the controls again squinting because of the bright strobing that filled the once dark room. Woods quickly scanned through the online instructions but he couldn't see how to turn it off he. He started to feel funny, a little spacey but then he tasted a metallic taste in his mouth. *shit* he thought knowing the metallic taste meant seizure. Woods quickly covered his eyes. "Someone please p-pp-pull the plug!" Woods says desperate,but faint. Tanner quickly pulled the plug and the lights went on, both Mathias and tanner immediately look at woods hearing his strained, almost scared voice. Woods removed his hands from his eyes and rubbed his face. He could tell he was close to having a seizure. "I-a I Im sorry" woods says stuttering sounding like he's about to cry. "Woods, hey, hey, kid Whats wrong?" Mathias asked getting on his knees to be more at woods level considering he was sitting on the couch. Woods's hand started twitching and he put his other hand over to block it. God he did not want to have a seizure in front of them. He got up but his legs were shaky and he was dizzy. Mathias saw how weak woods looked and grabbed onto his shoulders holding him up just in case. Woods's head because to twitch as well. *this cant be happening* woods thought. "Want me to dim the lights?" Tanner asked concerned but not knowing how to help. "I-I.. no its o-ok" woods says. His head started bobbing up and down,his face is twitching,he's blinking a lot, and his arms and legs start shaking almost convulsing. "Woods!" Tanner says. "He having a seizure" Matthias says lowering him to the ground. "Tanner move the table and hand me that pillow, also time the seizure." Mathias says strict but composed. Tanner moves the table,hands Mathias the pillow and quickly grabs his phone from the ladder and he starts the timer. Mathias places the pillow under Woods's head, and moves Woods's convulsing body into recovery position. 3 minutes pass and woods starts to slow down, with a fire twitches,strangled noises,and kicks. Mathias lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding. Finally the seizure stops.
