I wake up and turn over to check my clock. It reads 11:42 AM. As soon as I turn over though, I feel a sharp pain in my head. I immediately shut my eyes at the pain. My head is pounding. I open my eyes back up again and it just makes the pain worse. The sunlight pouring into my room feels way too bright. I want to get up and close my curtains, but my pounding head makes me not even want to get up.

After laying in bed for another minute I finally get up and close my curtains. It honestly didn't do much, but it helped a little. I went back into my bed, not wanting to move. Moving made the pain even worse.

After about an hour more of laying in bed I decide I need to eat breakfast. Drinking water will probably help my migraine too. I walk out into the kitchen where the bright lights make my head hurt even more. Matt and Chris's are in the living room playing Fortnite screaming at the tv.

"I cracked his shield! Matt get him get him! YESSSS! Only two more teams, we got this!" Chris screams.

"Guys, PLEASE lower your voices you guys are screaming." I say holding my head in pain. "Bro, we're not even that loud." Matt responds. I roll my eyes and bring a pop-tart and water to my room. I eat and put on my headphones to drown out the screaming of my brothers.

Two hours pass of me just laying in bed and staring at my wall. Anything I do just makes my head hurt more and more. And as time goes on it hurts more and I have even started feeling nauseous. Suddenly I hear banging on my door.

"Nick! We're coming in!" Chris yells as he and Matt barge in my room. "Why is it so dark in here?" He asks as he pulls open my curtains. The high amount of light immediately takes affect on my head.

"Chris! Close it back up" I say clenching my eyes shut. "What are you, a vampire or something? Let some light in bro." Chris responds. "Please Chris. Please just close it." I respond almost begging.

Thankfully Chris closes my curtains back up, but not without an eye roll. Both Matt and Chris are wearing shoes and although they are just walking, it sounds like they are stomping. The stomping sounds almost match the pounding that is happening in my head.

They start to walk out of my room and Matt says "don't forget we have to film a car video tonight." No no no no. If I can barely even get up without being in pain how am I suppose to film a car video? I nod as a response to Matt and crash back onto my bed.

Later that night:

"Nick are you almost ready?" Matt yells into my room.

I walk out of my room still in my pajamas and nod my head yes. Matt gives me a odd look but disregards it and grabs the car keys.

The whole car ride there was hell. As usual Matt and Chris were blasting music and singing along. It felt like my head was going to explode. I asked once for them to turn it down, but they didn't hear me over the loud music. I also didn't want to ruin their fun.

Once we pull into the parking lot, Matt gets out of the car to check the camera. He slams the door shut causing me to wince in pain. When he gets back in, he slams it again. This is gonna be a long night.

The video starts and Matt and Chris talk about random topics like top 5 fast food places, and what they would wish for if they had 3 wishes. They laughed the whole time and ate their McDonald's while I stayed mostly quiet in the back. I responded a few times just for the sake of entertainment, but not nearly as much as I usually do. I didn't have the energy to argue against them and didn't even order any food from McDonald's. My migraine made me feel so nauseous that I thought I would throw up if I ate anything.

"What do you think about it Nick?" Chris asks. "Huh? Oh yeah uhh I agree." I respond. To be totally honest I don't even know what we are talking about.

"Why are you so quiet? Come on bring up the energy, it's a car video." Matt says while looking for a new topic to talk about.

A few minutes go by and Chris and Matt get into an argument about something. I don't even know what it's about, but they obviously both have very strong opinions about it. They start yelling at the top of their lungs, causing my head to feel the worst it has all day. The pounding is unbearable and it feels like my head is going to burst. My stomach is also churning, making me feel so nauseous. I screw my eyes shut and bring my knees up to my chest, burying my head in my knees. I bring my hands up to my ears in an attempt to make the screaming quieter.

Third person pov:

"No, you're clearly wrong! My answer is the only right answer!" Matt yells at Chris.

"Nick, tell him I'm right!" Chris screams back. Both Matt and Chris look back at nick and see him curled up in the seat squeezing his hands to his ears. "Nick?" Matt asks in a quieter voice. Nick doesn't hear him. Matt shakes nicks arm, causing nicks head to look up.

"Nick, what's wrong?" Matt asks worried.

"I've had a bad migraine all day and you guys screaming isn't helping. I also feel so nauseous and I can't take it anymore. I've felt like shit all day and you guys have been so loud, but I didn't want to ruin your guys's day." Nick replies still holding his head.

Matt and Chris look at their brother sympathetically. "Nick why didn't you tell us earlier, we would have been quieter. And we could have filmed tomorrow instead. I'm sorry. Should we go home?" Chris asks.

"Sorry I didn't want to bother you guys. But yeah, could we please go home?" Nick asks relieved.

"Yeah of course." Matt replies. Both Matt and Chris keep the music and their voices down the rest of the car ride feeling bad for Nick. Once they get in the driveway Chris accidentally slams the car door. Nick flinches a bit and Chris notices. "Sorry sorry! I didn't mean to Nick!" He apologizes. "It's alright" nick replies reassuring him.

Once they get in the house, Nick immediately starts heading for him room. "Goodnight guys" he says sleepily.

"Goodnight. Feel better Nick, sorry again about all the noise we made today." Chris apologizes again.

"I'll make you some pancakes in the morning since you never ate any dinner. I know you'll be starving." Matt offers.

"That would be great Matt, thank you. Goodnight". Nick says walking up the stairs.

Once he reaches his room he crashes on his bed and immediately goes under the covers. Being in pain all day has made him absolutely exhausted. After about 15 minutes he finally falls asleep, escaping the pain that has been in his head all day.
