I woke up to my head spinning one hundred miles an hour and feeling like any second now it would explode. Everything around me was pitch black and my stiff body was shivering from the cold wooden floor. I have no idea how I got here, I guess I must've fallen off the couch in my sleep last night.
I tried standing up, but felt my legs wobble below me as I did so. I took a few shaky steps before collapsing to the ground and accidentally knocking off something from the coffee table in the process. It sounded like broken glass.
Moments later Turner came out and rushed over to me, "Shawn, what the hell is going on?"
I stood up again trying to hold my balance, "I-I don't know. I just woke up with a really bad headache and tried walking but fell and I think something broke."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I didn't get hurt if that's what your wondering. I just woke up with a headache and my body kind of feels stiff, but I'm fine. It's probably because I slept on the couch and at some point during the night ended up on the floor." I explained.
"Okay I'm gonna clean this up if you wanna get ready for school awhile."
"School?! What time is it?"
"It's already six thirty and it wouldn't make sense to try going back to sleep at this point, so you might as well just get ready a little bit sooner than usual." He explained already ready himself.
I swear it felt like I was only asleep for an hour, I'm exhausted! I walked to my room still trying to not fall over in the process and threw on a random t-shirt with a pair of jeans before making my way to the bathroom to finish getting ready.
Afterwards I went back the living room where I saw Turner just finishing making breakfast where he sat two plates of eggs and toast on the table, "you ready to eat?"
I nodded not really in the mood, but took a seat anyways. I watched how Turner dug right into his food while I just sat there. I moved my fork around my eggs, to mix it up some. I took a sip of my milk then picked up the fork again.
Turner sighed, "You remember our conversation from last night, right?" I'm assuming he's referring to the part about wanting me to eat more.
"Yeah, and I told you how I will..." I replied as I took my first bite not wanting him to be anymore suspicious.
"Good, because you seriously need to." I was worried that he was going to lecture me some more about it, but was glad to hear that that was it.

"Hey Shawn, you're not still mad at me from yesterday are you?" Cory asked walking towards me while I grabbed my jacket from my locker. ",because you haven't said one word to me all day..."
"Look Cor, I don't even know. I'm just so fucking angry at everything anymore." I huffed slamming it close.
"Whatever happened yesterday?"
"Turner and I talked, but it was more him than me. He says he wants me to start eating more or he's going to make me see a counselor, can you believe this? It's crazy!" I tried laughing it off. "Like I'm perfectly fine and healthy. Other than I've been feeling a little sick, but I mean that's normal after recently getting out of the hospital."
Cory just smiled sympathetically, "hey maybe that's not such a bad idea..."
"What?!" I laughed again in shock. "What are you even talking about?"
