Kristen Zinicallei

Chapter 9

Anna Kate's POV

"Levi, Kristen, I'm home from work," I shouted into the house.

"I'm in the living room," Levi yelled. I walked in and started putting away the groceries when I heard a thump from upstairs. Levi and I exchanged glances, shrugged, and continued doing whatever we were doing.

A few minutes later I kept hearing noises from upstairs. "Levi, can you watch the soup, I'm going to see what Kristen is doing upstairs," I hollered to Levi as I went up the stairs.

I opened the door to Kristen's room "What are you doing in here?" I asked. Then I saw it Kristen was lying on the floor. I ran to her side and started to shake her. "Kristen, what's wrong, are you okay? Kristen wake up," I pleaded. She didn't move an inch. "Hey, wake up, what happened?" I demanded.

"I'm dizzy," she mumbled and I picked her up and carried her to her bed. Levi came into the room to see what all the commotion was.

"Okay, I'll be right back. Levi go grab the blanket and cover her up," I instructed. I grabbed the thermometer from the hall closet and went back to her room. "100°" I announced looking at the thermometer. "Levi, why don't you go hang out in your room, I'll get you when dinners ready."

"Kristen sweety, do you remember what happened? I want to make sure I don't need to call the ambulance," I told her.

"I came home from school and I went to my room. I passed out a couple times at school, anyways I heard you come in and I got up to greet you. I woke up on the floor, and I think I had a seizure," she told me whimpering.

"Don't worry sweetie, everything will be OK, stay in your bed and rest."

As soon as she fell asleep I rushed downstairs to finish dinner. "Levi dinner," I yelled out. Levi came rushing down the stairs and chugged the soup. "Why don't you get ready for bed and I'll come say goodnight after cleaning up from dinner," I instructed him.

I brought Kristen some soup and finished cleaning up. I walked up to Levi's room to say goodnight. "Goodnight buddy, I love you," I said softly. He turned around to face me.

"Love you too," he replied.

"Goodnight," I said as I turned off the light and closed his door. Next I went to Kristens room to see how she was doing.

I walked into Kristen's room and found her asleep. I grabbed her empty soup bowl, washed it, and put it in the sink. I sat in my bed and pulled out my phone to call my boyfriend.

"Hey, how are you?" I asked when I saw he'd picked up.

"Anna, I'm good its been so long since we've seen each other!"

"I know there's a lot of stuff going on right now." I sighed.

"I know, I'm so sorry about your mom. How are your siblings taking it?" George responded.

"Well, we're holding up. You should come over some time. Kristen doesn't really like you though. She could sleep over at Trista's. Why don't you come over this weekend?"

"I don't have any plans, that should work. I'll come over, we can watch a movie or something with Levi."

"Sounds great babe. Love you, bye." I smiled excited to see him again.

"Love you, Bye." He said and hung up.

I set my phone on the nightstand and went to sleep.

Time skip to Friday (it was Tuesday)

When I woke up it was 5:00 AM and today was one if the days I do college online. I opened my laptop and logged into my lessons and began them. When I finished my first lesson it was 6:45 and I went to make breakfast.

I crept up the stairs to wake Levi and Kristen up. 'Knock Knock', "Levi buddy, time to get up for school. I made toast downstairs whenever your ready," I told him then went to Kristens room.

"Hey, time to get up. How're you feeling Kris? I made toast, its downstairs," I told her. She was fast asleep, I gently nudged her awake. "Come on honey, I'm made us breakfast. Go eat your food," I said. She got up slowly and headed down the stairs.

Levi came down, dressed and ready and ate his toast. Kristen finished her toast then got dressed ad came back down. I gave her her meds then sent then out to Trista's house.

Once I had hearded everyone out of the house I returned to my room to get dressed. I got on my laptop and finished all my lessons. By the time I was done it was 2:00. I made myself lunch and cleaned up the house for when my boyfriend came.

An hour or  later I heard the door open and saw Levi and Kristen running into the house. "Hey you guys, I wanted you to know that George is coming over at 5 for dinner and a movie," I told them. "Kristen, I called Heather and she said you could have a sleepover with Trista if you want," "

Yes please I'll get my stuff together," she said running upstairs happily.

At 5:00 Kristen had left for Trista's house and George came over. We had pizza, watched a movie, then at around 10 I sent Levi to bed.

George and I went to my room "It's been a while," George said looking around my room. "I love you, but, let's sleep," I said curling up next to him and we drifted of to sleep.

Kristen's POV
5:00

I arrived at Trista's and after dinner we went up to her room. "Let's paint each other's nails," Trista suggested grabbing polish. I started feeling a bit faint and went to take my meds. "You ok," Trista asked, noticing I looked pale.

"Yeah, I'm just not very well," I sighed trying to hide my symptoms.

"Maybe I should get you some water," she suggested.

"No, its fine, its nothing serious,"

I lied. "How about we go for a walk? It would help clear your head," she suggested.

"Sure, sounds good," I smiled.

We walked outside and Trista grabbed my hand and held it tight. We made back to her house and decided to watch a movie. After a couple hours I had a pounding headache.

"Hey, are you ok?" Trista asked worriedly.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine," I replied trying to get up but stumbling back from the pain in my head.

"Let me get you some water," Trista said jumping up from the couch.

She came back with the water and rubbed my back as I drank.

"We should head to bed it's almost 11," Trista said. I stood up and felt dizzy. At that moment my vision went black "Kris, Kristen you coming?"Trista hollered then I heard footsteps coming towards me as I passed out.

My body hit the ground hard. Everything was spinning as I tried to keep my balance. My head throbbed with the sound of a voice yelling, Trista.

"Kristen," I heard a voice calling to me. The ringing in my ears stopped as I opened my eyes. I looked around seeing that I was sitting on the floor leaning against the wall.

I looked over to see that Trista was kneeling on the floor rubbing my back. "Are you alright?

"Where am I? What happened?," I asked frantically.

"Your in my living room, I've been trying to wake you up for the past half hour," she answered. I looked at her groggily then passed out again.
