Chapter 9 Memories... Randy
Thankfully someone does open the door. Mom gasps as she sees me.
'Randy? What happened to you? Oh my god..'
'Well.. ' I try to walk, but more pain shoots through my ankle.
'What's wrong with your leg?'
'It's not my leg, it's my ankle. I think I must have sprained it.'
'Come on, I'll help you inside.' She takes my arm and leads me towards the dining table.
'Where is everyone?' I ask her as she looks for a cloth and makes it wet.
'They're still sleeping. What happened?' Still sleeping? So they didn't notice I was gone?
'Uh, I was at the lake. I eh... I tripped and fell. I hit my head and twisted my ankle.'
'The lake? Why were you at the lake? I thought you were staying at Jeremy's.'
'Jeremy?'
'Yeah. Hold still.' I hiss as she dabs my head wound. 'Oh, this looks serious, Randy. Why don't I just get dressed and get you to a doctor.'
'No!' She looks surprised. 'I mean, no.. I don't need a doctor. I'm fine.' I know she doesn't believe me, by the look she gives me.
'Let me see your ankle.' I hiss louder as she carefully looks at my ankle. 'Oh yeah, you're fine alright.' She shakes her head. 'We're seeing a doctor. But let's get you cleaned up first.'
'But about Jeremy. You mean I was sleeping over there?' She gives me a confused look.
'Yeah, remember you came upstairs and told us you were going over to Jeremy's. Then you came back and said you were sleeping over. So I really don't get what you were doing at the lake this early in the morning.' I try to get my head around this. What else did I do yesterday? I need to talk to Jeremy..
'Oh, well, I just felt like taking a walk. You know, fresh air is good for you.'
'Yeah, I guess so.' While mom goes to get dressed, I try to think back to the day before. I am trying to remember what else I did. I missed half a day.. Half a day! That's just insane.. What the hell is happening to me?
'Whoa, what happened to you?' I look up and see my brother.. uh... I start to panic... 'Randy? I'm talking to you. What happened?'
'I uh, I had a little accident near the lake.' I say with a shrug. he just grins and shakes his head. I give a fake smile, while I'm still panicking and start giving myself a bigger headache. I groan suddenly as my head feels like it's about to split open.
'What? What is it?' My brother sounds panicked now.
'My head, it just hurts a little.. I'm ok, really.'
'Yeah right.. You don't look fine to me.'
'I'm fine.. uh.. damnit!'
'Brad, good, you're up. Listen, I'm taking Randy to the hospital. Could you tell your dad when he wakes up. Tell him not to worry and we'll be back in a few hours probably.' Brad! Oh my god.. I can't believe this.. I actually didn't remember his name....
I try to keep my face neutral as I am losing it on the inside.. This is so not normal.. But I can't tell mom.. I just can't..
We head to the ER and they wrap my ankle in bandages. They did an X-Ray, but it really was just a sprain. Thankfully they didn't comment on my head too much. I just told them I didn't feel dizzyness or pain, so they just put stitches in it and I tried to keep up a happy face and mask the pain.
Mom didn't ask anymore questions on the way home, thank god. I just sit on the couch with her help and put up my foot. It doesn't take too long before I start to feel sleepy. I try to fight it, because who knows what will happen? But I'm just not strong enough and now know for sure that whatever I did yesterday, I didn't sleep. That's for sure...

A/N Hi! Sorry if the chapter is kind of confusing, I just couldn''t get anything straight right now. Oh well, I hope you like it anyway :)
What could be going on with Randy? Will it get worse? Will he have lost more time when he wakes up? Or will it be even worse this time?
