Octavia:
   A few days passed and I continued to go to school with Clarke. It was better than the hospital but my health was going down hill. Clarke wasn’t looking too good either. But why? She was actually getting better. I got home with Clarke one day and we sat on the couch and watched TV. Bellamy ran to the store. I remember talking to Clarke about school and everything but my eyes got really heavy and I ended up passing out sprawled out across Clarke’s lap.
Clarke:
  I looked down at Octavia. She had been asleep on me for half an hour. As I looked at her I quickly realized how pale she was and she was drenched in sweat. I knew if I got up to get a wet cloth to cool her I would wake her up and I didn’t want that. I whipped the blanket off of her and felt her forehead. She was burning up. I started to get anxious. I decided that I had to do something. I slid her off of my lap and she didn’t move. As Bellamy pulled into the driveway, I ran to the kitchen and forced myself to throw up. I had felt like puking all day so this was just getting it out sooner than later. Bellamy walked in and ran to the kitchen. I was kneeling on the floor puking into the garbage can. After I finished Bellamy said “I’ll get you some medication.” He went into the bathroom and opened a medicine jar that was almost empty. He looked at the name realizing it wasn’t Clarke’s. He opened Clarke’s and it looked like it hadn’t been touched. He walked to the kitchen and looked to me. “You haven’t been taking your medication...why?”
       I looked at him with glassy eyes. “She lied.” I said meekly. Bellamy looked at me in confusion. “Octavia...She wasn’t feeling better. She lied to come home. She is getting worse Bellamy. Much worse.” I said sobbing. Bellamy hugged me and said “It’s okay...We are going to have to bing you both back now. You didn’t have to put yourself at risk.” Bellamy said. I nodded “Yes I did. She told me on the first night back that she wasn’t better. She just didn’t want to be in the hospital alone again. She wanted to be home. But she is burning up and she is sweating.” Bellamy sighed and looked at me. “You’ve been a good friend.” He said. I nodded. We both heard a loud thud in the living room and ran out. Octavia was on the floor having a seizure. She was foaming at the mouth again. Bellamy rolled her onto her side and put a pillow under her head. “Clarke call 911!” I didn’t hesitate and ran to grab the phone I called and reported what had happened. I sat on the floor by Octavia who was still seizing after I made the call. “Why isn’t she stopping?!” I asked. Bellamy shook his head and shrugged. “I don’t know but if she doesn’t stop soon then things could get bad.” Bellamy stated. Clarke felt tears burn her face. “Come on Octavia.” I said scared.
       The ambulance rushed in and said “How long has she been seizing?” Bellamy nervously said “About 9 minutes.” The ambulance people nodded. Octavia stopped seizing and was unconscious. They put Octavia up on a gurney and I rode with her to the hospital. Bellamy drove and met us there. They rushed Octavia in and had me put into a room that Octavia would soon be in.    After about 3 hours Octavia was brought in and she was asleep.
