"Adam, it's 4 in the morning, why are you home so early?" I say wiping my eyes. "I got someone to cover for me at the last second. Do you realize how worried I was? Sarah said you had another one of your episodes, and I come home to this? How did this even happen? What caused you to...." I start to zone out as Adam continues interrogating me. I really do feel sorry for worrying him, but how could I just forget about what happened last night? All I can focus on is the clock standing in the background. Before I know it, the patterns on the clock start to morph into different shapes. Everything becomes fuzzy. I close my eyes to try and stop a headache that begins to form. I lay back into the couch and everything Adam is saying becomes even more muffled. I decided to go back to sleep.
