You don't sleep with a concussion. You don't sleep with a concussion. My mother may have had a M.D., but I didn't need to ask her that, it was common sense, something that I was fearing Mila had a life threatening lack of. I texted her about seventy-five more times. Every single one of them along the lines of "don't sleep with a concussion" But she didn't text me back. IDIOT. Why won't she just listen to me? Doesn't she know that I know more than her about this stuff?
I was afraid for her life, and I spent every minute that she wasn't texting me worried about her. I did still love her, she was my first love, and always would be.
I took a XANAX and laid back in my bed. It didn't help, I was still freaking out. I texted Candice. You got a second? I got a very quick response, as always. I love her. Yeah, what's up?
I'm worried. I think Mila has a concussion, and she went to sleep, and I'm scared.
Just breathe, everything's going to be okay.
I don't know what'd I'd do if she died though.
I know, it's okay. Listen, I think it'll be okay. Everything happens for a reason.
I really do feel better now.
Tell me about your day, it'll take my mind off things.
For the next hour we spoke about absolutely nothing. Until finally my phone vibrated from a different phone number. It was from Mila.
I told you so.
You've gotta be kidding me. I worried my ass off for three hours and you give me this?
I decided to not even dignify her text with a response. I told Candice about it, and she said I made the right choice,
It was the first day that I actually thought I might not love Mila.
