Hazy Days

Planning

The last thing I remember was my body hitting the floor of the parking lot and then someone picking me up. After a while of plain black, I open my eyes half way and see people standing over me. The coach, Mr. Becker, and the school nurse are the first people I see. Then my vision goes black again and I can hear the coach yelling for people to give me some space. Then it all fades away.

Next thing I know, I'm laying down in my bed. I'm at home but I don't remember who brought me here or even being in a car. Was that another dream? I hear a knock at the door and turn to see my mom walk in. 

"Hey sweetie! Glad to see you're awake. How're you feeling?" 

She hands me a cup of her delicious homemade sweet tea. 

"Um. I don't know. How'd I get here? What happened?" 

I take a swig of the tea thinking it'd help and it did. 

"Well, after you fainted and the nurse couldn't wake you up, I took you to the hospital. The doctors said they couldn't figure out what was wrong with you but recommended that I keep you in bed till you woke up saying it was probably just the heat getting to you. Your face is really red." 

She moved my hair out of my face and smiled at me but I could see she was about to cry. 

"I was so worried about you when they said they didn't know what was wrong. You scared me so much Melissa. Don't you ever scare me like that again." 

She sniffles and wipes her tears and I just give her a hug. 

"I won't mom. It's ok." 

After talking with my mom for awhile about school she left the room offering to bring me more tea later when I run out. I suddenly remember about Penny and grabbed my phone. I pressed call and got the dial tone. It went straight to voicemail, proving it wasn't a dream. She was mad and she had every right to be. I betrayed my best friend  and didn't even know why. 

It was like I couldn't control myself. I just wanted to make the migraine go away and when I was letting Andrew get closer, it was helping the pain go away. But I know that can't make sense. Now I hated him even more than before. I planned on fixing things with Penny and completely shutting Andrew out for good. First thing in the morning, that's what I'll do. I'm getting rid of all this drama as soon as possible.
