Ross' POV

I sat in the car on the way back to the band house in silence. "You okay?" Dad asked. I nodded. "What's wrong?" He asked. "Just bored" I sighed. "I'm sorry you couldn't have stayed out longer. You know what your moms like. She wanted you back as soon as you left" dad sighed. I nodded. "Can I go out at some point without being monitored and picked up early?" I asked. Dad nodded "tell me when you're going out and I'll speak to mom"

We got to the house and dad smiled "I'll see you soon okay? Text me if you need anything" he told me. I nodded "love you" I smiled. "Love you too"

I opened the door and Rydel was cooking. The house was warm and everyone was in their pyjamas. It was only around 6:30/7. "Hey" I smiled. Rydel looked and smiled at me. "Hey. You okay?" She asked. I nodded and sat on the counter. "What you cooking?" I asked, glancing over. "Tacos" she told me. My phone buzzed and I looked at it.
'A&A' I furrowed my eyebrows.
'Who's free tomorrow? 😝-Laura'
'I am-Calum'
'Yep me too!-Raini'
"Dels." "Yeah?" "Can I go out with the a&a cast tomorrow?" I asked. She looked at me. "Yeah of course. Just make sure you tell mom and dad" she told me. I nodded and glanced back at my phone.
'Ross can you?!-Raini'
'He might be busy 😞 I miss him. I need a Ross hug-Calum'
'Shouldn't we be saying that 😂-Laura'
'I do miss him though. We haven't seen him in months!!-Calum'
'That's true-Laura'
'I hope he's not busy-raini'
'I can come 😌'
I went onto the other chat with mom and dad
'I'm going out with the cast tomorrow. That okay?'
I sent it and immediately mom replied.
'Of course honey.'
I smiled as I glanced up. "Why don't you get in your Pyjamas and have a quick shower. It'll be done when you're ready" Rydel suggested. I nodded and walked upstairs.

I glanced at the time '7:23pm' I put my phone on charge and saw I had a text from the group chat.
'YES ROSS!!!!! Can't wait- Calum'
'Woo! What time are we going?-Laura'
'I don't mind. I'm free all day' I replied and got my pyjamas. I walked into my bathroom and turned the shower on.

10 minutes later
7:35pm

I stepped out and got into my baggy t-shirt and pyjama pants. I glanced in the mirror and saw how tired I looked. I had huge bags under my eyes and was really pale. I coughed a few times and blood poured out of my mouth. I sighed. "It's normal Ross. Don't worry" i remember the doctor saying. I got some toilet paper and wiped my mouth. I glanced down and saw blood all in the sink. I sighed before turning the tap on. Once the blood was gone I stood up straight and walked out of the bathroom.

I got into the bedroom and checked my phone.
'Ross,Why don't I pick you up at 10?-Raini'
'Why wouldn't he drive for himself?-Calum'
'Not allowed Calum. And if you want rain idc' I sent it and felt horrible. I just lay on the floor because I felt so weak. I started coughing really hard and then everything went back.

20 minutes later

I opened my eyes and saw rocky sitting over me. "Hey" He whispered. "Wha'happen?" I slurred. "You had a seizure bro. I checked on you and you were having one. You've been out for 15 minutes. I was about to call an ambulance" he told me. "Sorry" I whispered. "It's okay bro. Come on. Let's get you downstairs for dinner okay?" He whispered. I nodded and he slowly helped me up. Everything was blurry and my legs felt wobbly and weak. "You okay?" He asked. I shrugged "unsteady" I slurred. He nodded before slowly sitting me on the bed. "Okay maybe you should rest up here okay?" He told me. I nodded slightly. "I'm gonna go get your food okay" he told me as he pulled me into the centre of my bed. He covered me with the covers as I yawned. "Phone?" I whispered. He smiled and got my phone for me. "I'm gonna see if I can book you a doctors appointment for tomorrow-" "no don't! Please. I-I'm going out with-with-" "the cast I know. But your health is more important" he told me. I frowned "please. I'll feel better tomorrow" I sighed. He sighed "we'll see how you feel tomorrow. Then if you're not better-" I cut him off "you can take me" I assured. He sighed and nodded "TV?" I nodded and he turned my TV on and handed me the remote. "I'll be back in a sec" he left the room and I looked at my phone. My vision had cleared slightly.
'Okay so are we meeting at the mall?-Laura'
What's happening? I'm lost. How much did I miss? I'll message Raini. Actually no. It'll seem like I wasn't listening. But I don't know if she's still getting me at 10. Oh god. Too much. I hate this.

The door opened and rocky walked back in with a plate with Rydel following with a mug. "Hey. Rocky told me what happened. Are you alright?" She asked. I nodded "just confused." I mumbled. "Awh baby." She whispered. "I bought you a tea" she told me, placing the mug on my bedside table. "Thanks" I mumbled. "And here's your dinner" rocky told me, placing the bowl in front of me. "What happened to tacos?" I laughed slightly. "We thought this would be better. Tacos when you feel better" Rydel told me, stroking my cheek. I smiled slightly "okay" I whispered. "Okay. Eat this and then you're gonna sleep ross. Okay?" I glanced at my older siblings and smiled. "Okay"
