Lost Without You (A Team Starkid Fanfic)

Chapter 14

I don't own team starkid or their work

No one else was back yet so I sat down and just tried to control my thoughts. There was a lot to think about but nothing was too overwhelming thankfully. Suddenly I just fall of my chair. Almost no explanation. I just fell. I vaguely see Brian Holden come in.

"Everything okay in here?" He asks concerned.

"Yeah," I say sheepishly, trying getting up and brushing myself off.

"Great job, Charlotte." Brian offered kind of shyly. I almost felt like he was trying to be a little cutesy.

"Thanks, Brian. So Meredith told me you guys actually taped the show?"

His cheeks turned a deep red. "Uh-huh. I worked a camera."

"Okay!" I try to take a step out the door to go find my friends but I stumble backwards, nearly falling over with dizziness and pain.

"What happened?"

"Just need to sit down." I mumble, head in hands. Brian supported me back into a chair. My eyes were rolling back a little but I knew the feeling well so I could fight it.

"Who should I get?" He seemed a bit panicked.

"Joey. Devin." I try to say, but Brian seemed to understand. He bolted from the room.

I was in pain but I could fight it. I was going to make myself feel better before the show so I was starting to follow my procedure. I'm almost shocked out of my daze.

"Wait what happened?" I hear Joey on the border between outraged and concerned.

"I told you!" I heard Brian respond. "She just collapsed."

From my huddled/ curled position, I see a few blurry figures enter the room. I see a stick wearing a red wig come up next to me and start rubbing my back.

"Charlie..."

"Brian help me find the black tote bag."

"Got it!"

"Thank the Lord!" I heard a faint rustling then a flipping of pages.

"Devin: How is a binder going to help?"

Devin obviously ignored the question as she started ordering them around. "Brian go get a Gatorade from the other room. Joey get her into a sitting position."

I heard footsteps- presumably Brian leaving. Then I heard the rattling of my medicine as I smelled the vanilla scent of Devin come closer. Joey started shifting me up so I was sitting up but leaning on his chest.

"Char? Can you hear me?"

"Yeah," I attempt to say.

"I have the Gatorade!" I heard Brian re-enter. Soon the taste of orange Gatorade and chalky pills were being forced down my throat.

"C'mon Charlie. You're okay." Within a few minutes of coaxing, I can sit up and talk a bit better. I now had a Gatorade in hand as people started asking me questions.

"Are you feeling better, Charlotte?" I nod, taking another sip, the pain and dizziness fading away.

"I still don't exactly understand what happened." Joey was looking at me with so much concern.

I open my mouth to answer but Dev beats me to it. "She had a seizure, you idiot."

I watch Brian and Joey's eyes grow huge. "But how?"

"I have had a mild form of epilepsy since I was like 12. It normally happens when I don't have enough electrolytes. The last one I had was the middle of my freshman year at NYU, though." It was quiet and slow.
