Ethan left at about 10 o'clock last night. Mom and Aunt Hilary stayed here with me. Aunt Hilary also met Ethan and I think she liked him, but I'm not sure. Mom brought me my phone, charger, earbuds, and a couple of books, just in case I get bored. I fell asleep at 11 and I'm pretty sure that mom and Hilary stayed up talking and watching tv.

I woke up at six and mom and Hilary were still asleep. I grabbed my phone and earbuds. I turned on Life of the Party by Shawn Mendes. He was one of my favorite artist. My other favorites are Charlie Puth, One Direction, R5, and Echosmith. I also like My Chemical Romance, but I don't tell many people that. The song was over, so I put it on repeat. I don't really know why, I just really wanted to listen to it.

This is the only Monday that I can remember ever wanting to go to school. I didn't just want to sit here all day, but I had no choice; doctor's orders. Mom took the day off of work, and I think Aunt Hilary did too. Owen and Brayden still had to go to school. Ethan said that he was going to try and convince his mom to let him take the day off, but I'm sure she said no. As if on cue, he texted me.

I'm on my way to the hospital and Janey's with me

Seriously? How did you convince your mom?

Pretty easily. I told her that if I couldn't go see you, I was just gonna skip school anyways so she said yes.

Wow. Wait? Did you say that Janey was with you?

Ya, she said that she wanted to see you a lot

So, I'm guessing you told her about us then?

Duh, I told her on Saturday

When?

While we were at the hospital for your brother. I took your phone while you were asleep and texted her

How did you know my passcode?

It was pretty easy Olive, it's my birthday for goodness sakes!

Oh, ya.

"Olive?" mom said, breaking me from texting.

"Huh?"

"Your face is red. Are you okay?" she asked.

"What? Oh I'm fine. Ethan and Janey are on their way over," I said.

"But what about school?"

"I don't know. Ethan just texted me that they were coming over," I answered.

"Oh, alright then," she said.

"I'm going to go and get some food from the cafeteria, do you guys want anything?" Aunt Hilary asked standing up and stretching.

"I'll take some yogurt and a banana," mom said.

"I'll just have some cereal, Fruit Loops if possible," I said.

"Alright, I'll be back soon," she said as she left.

"How are you feeling honey?" mom asked when we were alone.

"Pretty good. My head hurts a little and so does my stomach," I said.

"How much does your stomach hurt?" she asked worriedly.

"Like on a scale from 1-10?" I asked. She nodded. "Maybe a 4 or 5."

"Okay, what about your head?" she asked walking over to me. She put her hand on my head, feeling around it. When she got to a certain spot, it really hurt and I flinched. "I'm guessing it hurts there?"
