Seizing Freedom

Mike

Wednesday I get half way through my fourth class when the group text goes off. 

I open my phone to see an alert from Ty's watch that he fell again. I sigh and open the calendar app marking it down and looking at the pattern of days. I hate how fast it's changing. 

You can actually see the space between seizures slowly decrease every week.

This really bites.

"Everything okay?" Bobbie asks nudging me.

"Yeah, just Ty's watch." I whisper and close my phone.

"That things been going off a lot lately." she points out and I just nod.

She squeezes my arm and gives me a half smile as I try to focus on the class. I know he's safe with Eddie and Neil but I hate sitting here knowing he's seizing right now. It makes it really hard to pay attention.

I get to my last class and sit down barely getting my books open when my phone goes off again.

Eddie: I'm at the hospital with Ty, don't panic, he just popped his shoulder out again when he fell.

"Shit." I mutter and Charlie and Bobby both turn to look at me at the same time.

I show them the text and Charlie curses too.

"Go, I'll bring your homework to you tonight." Bobby says rubbing my arm. I close my binder then text Eddie back.

Me: I'll be right there

Eddie: Don't bother, finish your class. You get out in an hour, you know hospitals, we'll still be here.

Me: Okay, see you in a bit then.

I put away my phone then open my books back up.

"You not going?" Charlie asks and I shake my head.

"No, Eddies with him, they'll be there for a while. I'll pick him up after class. No point the three of us sitting there." I state and sigh.

After class lets out I grab my stuff and head to my car. The whole ride there I'm trying not to cry at the amount of time we've spent in the hospital lately. If things keep going the way they are I guess I'm going to have to get used to it although seeing him hurt never gets any easier.
