Gwen's POV
Recap:
"Please forgive us for takin' this man's life." Granddad prayed. "Why's you say us? You killed him." Riley spoke up and I once again absent mindedly B*tch slapped him in the side of the head and glared his way telling him to shut up. He got the message and went back to prayin'.
End Recap:
After the prayers we went home; Granddad was still pretty freaked out by fight. Once home I decided to take a nap, this whole thing left me feeling drained. I took out and placed my barrettes on the nightstand next to my bed before curling up under the covers.

As I awoke something wasn't right. My eyes were unusually hard to open and I felt even weaker and more tired then when I had lain down. Pulling the cover down off of my face I tried looking around but couldn't. My vision was completely blurred. Oh no!
I forced myself up and stumbled out of bed, knocking a box of tissues off the nightstand as I stumbled. Fumbling around I found my barrettes and clipped them onto my sleeve before stumbling over to the door and into the hall.
I made my way to Huey's room, leaning against the wall to avoid falling. As I arrived at the entrance to his room I had barely enough strength to mutter out "I think… I need to go to the hospital." before everything went black.
Huey's POV
I was reading a book at the table in my room when Gwen stumbled into the doorway and muttered "I think… I need to go to the hospital." Just before she collapsed. Instinctually I dropped my book and rushed to catch her just before she hit the ground. As I caught her I could feel the heat coming off her skin.
Feeling her forehead I could tell she had a high fever. I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her arm around my neck as I tried carrying her downstairs. Once I explained what had happened Granddad grabbed his keys and we all rushed her to the hospital.
This time I stayed in the backseat with Gwen, looking for any change in her condition, but there was none. Once at the hospital they took her into a hospital room and started taking blood as I explained to the doctors what had happened.
We all waited around her hospital room for some news to what was wrong with her. Every now and then I would lean over and feel her forehead but her fever never went down, even with the nurses putting ice pack on periodically.
What happened? She seemed just fine a few hours ago. I don't understand how someone can get so sick in such a short amount of time.
4 hours later
The doctor finally came in and shared the news that Gwen apparently has anemic blood. Looking up at the man I asked him the very question I'd been asking myself. "How could her condition have just appeared like this? She was perfectly fine just this morning."
