Kai currently hated himself. He was getting ready for work after staying up all night, he was very dizzy, but he had been dizzy for over five years, and he had collapsed more times than he could count, he also could get himself back on track after those falls. Why was this one so different? 

Kai was putting his rings on, something he does all the time, Apollo was going over his audition lines for the final time with Amara sitting down watching him, Kai was getting really dizzy from the lack of sleep and from the work he was doing, along with a lot of caffeine, it was safe to say that his fall was coming for him. 

Yet he was still surprised when he turned around to start getting changed, and he turned around quickly, he had moved slightly from where he was before and after, that was completely normal, then his knees fell out under him, and he wasn't quick enough to grab onto something as he fell to the floor, hard. 

That was not normal.

Kai winced in pain from the burn on his knees from the carpet.

 Amara and Apollo quickly went to help him. 

"Kai! Are you okay?" Amara asked him as she joined him on the floor. 

"Yeah, just fell, this happens all the time." Kai lied, he hadn't fallen like that since he was eighteen. Kai quickly blocked out all the panicked thoughts of his horrible dizziness coming back, panicking would not help here. 

"Help me up?" Kai asked, and the two quickly grabbed his hands and tried to help him up, it worked for a short while, he was half-way standing, until his knees gave up on him, and he almost dropped again, this time Apollo was there and grabbed him, Kai put all his weight onto Apollo who didn't seem to mind. 

Apollo led him to Amara's bed, and let Kai drop to the comfortable bed. "Okay, this hasn't happened in a while." He admitted. 

"Kai, what happened?" Amara asked and Kai explained, his words were slightly slurred, he was completely sober. Amara didn't leave a breath between Kai's words as she demanded, "You are staying home today." 

"No way, it gets really busy today! And you still need more employees. Just give me a minute and I'll be up." 

"Kai you can't even stand right now, I have no idea how you'll be with a dozen's of people in need of coffee, as your boss I say you are staying home."

So there he was. Apollo was at his audition, Amara had almost stayed home with him, but then Apollo forced her out the door, not before making sure Kai wouldn't need anything for the day while he relaxed at home. The caffeine he had for the day had worn off and his dizziness was making him exhausted. The coffee had barely worked anyway, he wasn't supposed to drink coffee when he was that dizzy, so all it had done was make him hyper and tired. 

His eyes had forced him into not reading, so he was watching something on his laptop. 

Then his eyes slowly shut. He welcomed the nightmares with open arms.
