sydney's pov

i woke up with the worst feeling of all. satan was stabbing my insides over and over again which only meant one thing

it's that time of the month

whenever this happens i'm actually satan. im a very sweet and big hearted person but when it comes to these 5 days i just can't help but be mean. it's not my fault i was born this way

besides that little rant it was thursday and grayson was coming over to put in the dog door. i really haven't talked to him since ethan showed up. i mean he could just be busy but it was like he purposely ignored me

it's 6:30 am just about the time i have to wake up now because of cali. every morning i have to take her out to go to the bathroom. i'm always drained for the rest of the day. other than that i get jackson up and help him get dressed

i make pancakes because i'm feelin good today. just kidding when am i ever feeling good. i got the frozen pancakes from the freezer and heated them up

jack came running down the stairs which always leads in him getting yelled at, but this time i heard multiple thuds and a little scream

i ran over to the stairs seeing jack on the floor crying. i picked him up and put him on the couch. i saw that his head was bleeding and it looks like he cut it open

i immediately grabbed him and put him in his car seat to go to the hospital. im not the most safe person ever so i have split open many parts of my body but for some reason it scared the living hell out of me when it happened to jackson

i was most likely speeding on the highway but did i care? NOPE

we made it to the hospital and jackson finally stopped crying. i rush him inside and tell the receptionist that we need to see a doctor

she calls out a doctor and they take us back so he can look at his head. i'm hoping that it's just a scratch and he doesn't need stitches

my thought were interrupted by my phone ringing. i look down and see that grayson is calling me. just my luck i forgot he was coming over within the last 30 minutes. i pick up the phone knowing he's probably worried

"hello"

"hey where are you, i don't see your car here and jackson didn't show up today" he asked genuinely worried

"oh yeah jack feel down the stairs and i saw that his head was bleeding so i had to take him to the hospital to see if he needs stitches or not"

"what hospital are you at?"

"(hospital name) why?" why does he all of a sudden care even though he ignored me for days

"i'm coming"

and with that being said he hung up. i really didn't want him to come but if he actually cares for jack then i'm going to let him see him

he does make jack happy so i guess grayson can take jackson's mind off of his head that has a blood fall dripping from it

the doctor walks back in and says that jack did in-fact cut his head open and he needs stitches. he told us he would be back in just a second but that really means 4 hours

*30 minutes later*

i'm sitting next to jackson on the bed watching spider-man for the 50th time but it's what makes him happy and stay quiet

i hear a familiar voice coming from the hallway. great graysons here. he walks in with a teddy bear and pretzels which are jacks favorite snack. wow i'm impressed

"hey bud, i heard you had an accident this morning so i brought you somethings to cheer you up"

"grayson!" i dont think jackson have ever been this excited to see anyone in a long time

he walked into the room without making eye contact which gave me more suspicion about him trying to avoid me

"hey sydney, it's been a while" he finally speaks up

"yeah i know" i got some ATTITUDE today

"can i talk to you outside" he said

we walked outside of jackson's room so he wouldn't here us. i really hope he's gonna explain why he hasn't talked to me in almost a week

"so i wanted to say i'm sorry for ignoring you and i know it's been bothering you because you don't even look at me when i pick up olivia" grayson said

"then why did you do it, i don't understand how you can go from being my friend and waiting for me to drop off jack to completely dropping me from your life" i spoke the TRUTH

"i didn't mean to do it i promise. when ethan came back to visit it was just hard to keep them at my house by themselves and they have been driving me crazy especially with olivia running around it doesn't really help having to deal with you"

"so you're saying i'm a problem?"

"no that's not what i meant. i'm just stressed and when i'm stressed i tend to isolate myself. it's a bad habit i picked up a long time ago. i am truly really sorry for ignoring for so long it was something i should have never done. after all you are the one person that knows how to calm me down" he kinda laughed at the end

"why didn't you just tell me you're stressed? i would have left you alone. i don't want you to ever feel like you can't tell me something" i honestly felt really bad for him

"now let's get back in there to make sure my kid is okay and not bleeding his brains out"

we both laughed and walked back in the room with jackson. it really made me sad that he's so stressed out to the point where he has to cut people out of his life

i'm just glad he's here for jackson and loves him as much as i do

yo guys. sorry i've been very MIA. i've been dealing with school, sports, and trying to take care of myself. i do have a life outside of social media so that's why i don't post everyday, but i will try and become more active on here❤️
